Windows could not even handle what I wanted to do when developing http://www.entertainmentwatch.com./ Linux was the only way to go to use Mambo, which rocks hardcore!
Hey I'm running a Linux server right now. Come check it out at http://www.entertainmentwatch.com/ Windows would crash this site, LOL. Anyway I even designed it with Mambo. Can Windows do that???
Okay, for quite some time now, Windows has had Linux running circles around it... even Linux back 10 years ago, ran circles around modern Windows XP...
Linux doesn't just run circles around it, it even draws pretty patterns while it is at it... doesn't take much to outdo windows though...
Sheez, my grandma with her walker can outrun Linux... who cares what it runs on, my old 486 from 10 years ago running Linux can outperform a 64 bit XP Pro machine....
Oh well, guess they need something to be proud of, as we have the best mascot, the penguin...
I read this and am saddened to see how dangerous this world has become. We have terrorists flying planes into buildings, destroying thousands of lives and ruining family all over. We have terrorists walking into a central market in other countries, bombs strapped to their bodies, and them blowing themselves up...
Every day it seems, we read about more and more people dying, more and more terrorists murdering innocent people, and we let them get away with it. Here in the US, we have been attacked so many times, and so many times, this sleeping giant has not been awakened. We are a country that talks a lot of talk, but has yet to truly back up our talk with any walk...
It is great if the President has this kind of control, yet what good is having all this horsepower and ability, if we leave this country in park??? What good is all these nuclear devices that are scattered across the globe, sitting there rusting away, collecting dust, circuits decaying, plutonium decaying and losing potency???
This country is needing to stand up for itself once and for all, and stop letting the other nations of this world bully us. We are the MOST POWERFUL country on the planet, with the largest and most powerful armed forces. We have the MOST ability to knock this Earth into pieces, yet we use NONE of this power...
If America is going to be worth anything, we need to STAND UP and take charge for once. We need to let these oil kings know that we are sick of paying such high oil prices, while they sit back and rake in TRILLIONS each year, and let them know that those days are over now... We need to fight back when we are attacked by a terrorist group, dealing such horrific attacks as a countermeasure, that no terrorist group will EVER consider attacking America again.
In the movie Swordfish, John Travolta was the leader of a group who was in charge of protecting the US. He said that whenever a terrorist group attacked our soil, they would retaliate ten-fold. His whole purpose of everything was to fight the fight that the government has chosen to sit back and watch, yet not participate in at all.
Here in the USA, we need to take charge, and show these other countries that we mean BUSINESS. We need to stop being little cowards, and step up to the plate, and take CHARGE of this...
Feel free to stop by and cast your vote, on how you think we should handle this in the future. Feel free to reply to this posting, with additional poll choices, and I'll gladly add them. Lets see what we all think should be done, to stop this from happening anymore, and show this world we mean BUSINESS.
As far as I am concerned, America has laid dormant way too long, taking too many punches, and is on the mat. We need to get a second wind, and come back for a knockout...
I totally agree about Paypal being a horrible provider of payment services. They are more then glad to take your 3% of each transaction as their fee, yet their service is horrible.
I had issues with them a few times now, from transactions on eBay and other transactions as well, one of which was never resolved and that money is gone forever. Thankfully the amount was insignificant, but it was more the point of the matter I guess, in that Paypal was useless in helping me resolve things, and basically DID NOT CARE and their "Buyer Protection" crap, is 100% useless.
I understand they want to work on preventing fraud, yet they need to be more careful about things, and take a better look at the situation, before just automatically locking a user's account such as this, and then having those funds useless.
You CAN call them up, and after being tossed around a few times, FINALLY get an agent that can assist you, but that usually is not until you act really pissed off (most of the time you don't have to act, you get pissed off at them hanging up on you, giving you the run-around, and such...) and then you finally get helped.
I wonder if all of us Slashdot citizens would unite and write hate mail to Paypal, if that would help in getting them to finally change their ways, and FIX the customer service NIGHTMARE that they run...
