    You're starting to sound like someone who's made the same mistake as Microsoft, and failed to learn anything at all from it.

  2. Yeah, let's keep out all those evil vegetarians/vegans.

    Dude, at least come up with something original. That 'toon has been posted here something like 57,000 times already.

  5. Ever hear of Steve Barkto?

  6. Apparently it is as you seem to be the only one bothered.

    Not the only one.

  7. I don't think so.

    People who lack the expertise to appreciate the fine points distinguishing Linux distros are very likely to have their needs met by just about any distro. Pick one and slap it on the drive already.

  8. This is great stuff. Can you share your experiences as a Navy SEAL with us as well?

    As somebody who's been here a whole lot longer than you, I cordially invite you to go fuck yourself with a broken baseball bat.

    You've not been around longer than I, and I cordially invite you to test your proposal out for yourself. And not to bother letting us know how it went.

  13. Not trying to be a Nazi, just offering some grammar help here:

    If Oracle HAD won, a lot of open source projects WOULD HAVE BEEN dead in the USA. In [the] EU they WOULD HAVE LIVED on...

    English doesn't really have a subjunctive mood (only a few traces), and our conditional tenses can be a bitch sometimes. (Let this stand as a warning to other languages not to adopt some other language family's verb system wholesale and dump it on top of your own.)

    Yet there abound examples ancient and contemporary of people voluntarily giving up some of their freedoms or allowing others to exercise extra power in order to solve a problem or gain some momentary advantage. Please explain how this can be so.

    Also, you never seem to have heard of something called a "constitutional monarchy"...?

    Basically, it took me about 20 minutes for the install, 15 minutes for customization, about one hour for the update and five hours for my personal data recovery with the update and the recovery running together. ...

    6+ hours to do a desktop installation and restore? You keeping Wikipedia on that thing?

    I can take a system from "tabula rasa" to "completely ready to use" in about 2 hours. And I'm probably not anything special in that regard.

    Obviously relativity would blow the mind of a physist of 1950.

    Aside from the fact that the expression didn't come into common use until about 20 years later, it sure would--he'd think you were a generation behind.

    (The concept of "relativity" as used in modern physics dates from 1906.)
