    >This arrogance is the problem with the Linux zealots.

    Arrogance: A side effect of the smugness that comes from being correct, better, faster, completely open and free.

    To us arrogant folks we smugly laugh at articles like this one and feel sorry for the little people who have to worry about how many times they are allowed to reinstall their box. Ironic considering the temproal performance limitations of Microsoft products which means it is required to do this often.

    My favourite analogy is about the squirrel who spent far too much time writing 500 word posts on /. It came winter and he forgot to store up foodstuffs. So preoccupied with posting and such. Well this Squirrel came to a very sticky end when he had to go and scrounge for food and could only find discarded scraps of fatty human food. This gave him heart disease; eventually he had a heart attack one day as he sat in a tree. He then fell out of that tree and got crushed by a speeding truck. A sorry end to our slashdotting furry friend.

    OK trolltard,

    no need to insult me just because your a talentless an impotent moron dependant on microsoft specific knowledge to make your penis inflate once a week.

    judging by your previous posts your only input into any discussion is to degrade your detractor by calling him something witty, like "asshole" or dumbfuck" and accuse them of being a "slash-drone" and other clever comments.

    just because much of the /. content is *nix related and you have no authority whatsoever to enter into the conversation is probibally a sign that you should take your unskilled ass some place else.

    On this http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=184930&cid=152 70754 post, much to my amusement, you find your self confused by the X window clipboard system. Your a moron.

    A complete moron.

    it does seem like they have never heard of the scientific method at all, only see it fly past; in the hope of making people think its a fair test.

    Issue 1: SUSE Enterprise Linux: i ran this at home as a file and web server. even there it performs very very slowly, i can't imagine it as an enterprise server. In the article they say its the closest to a pure LAMP stack one can get. Clearly nonsense as it is deemed to have proprietary software on board. I've recently replaced it with debian sarge, performing the exact same tasks. harder to configure? no, it just doesn't have GUI tools to configure it. eWeek labs clearly don't have anyone who knows anything about linux or they wouldn't have used SLES.

    Issue 2: Comparing random portal platforms tells you what about what? thats right... feck all.

    Issue 3: eWeek and Ziff Davis are located just north of microsofts anus.

    quite right... if a word can be proven to have been in use for several years the Oxford English dictionary will define its meaning in terms of recent use. For instance, here in the UK, the word 'gay' has come to refer to anything that is crap or shit.

    Your quite right, it is somewhat of of a confusing expense, the world of PC gaming.


    And unless the game is linux native or old, i really wouldn't even try cedega. Unless they promise it'll work (ala half Life 2).


    I think we are going to see more linux native games anyway.


    And i believe MS have got very blase with regards to their illegal monopoly. They had no trouble announcing to customers that the current product they paid for will no longer support games developed in the future by the MS gaming department.


    By the very definition of anti-competition regulations microsoft should be tore apart for this alone. Why the fuck is no one doing something about this?
