Depends on how you feel about rape. I'd have to think it would be a violation of trust, I didn't realise that Microsoft was also abusing their monopoly amongst the porn/snuff industry.
Google makes pretty big profits, and Apple and IBM don't do so bad. Red Hat and Novel are functional, your only commercial competition problems it these industries are Mandriva and Turbo Linux. (Heh heh...) Sun also provides and operating system that currently is technically feasible. So your USA is not going to suffer because Microsoft is forced to behave civilly. Does anyone know of an Australian operating system competitor? I'd like to give it a burl.
It has the amazing ability to make anyone associated with it act like an asshole, as represented by white supremacist groups claiming that white people colonized the continent before the Native Americans;
Then, wouldn't be safe to say that the original whites weren't so supreme?
It would not have taken much imagination to determine the connection, but whatever.
Twitter's valid points: They tend to be happenstance, rather than regular occurrence. I'm a novice linux user and even I've corrected/called to account some of his declarations and exaggerations. I agree with him that Microsoft products are largely incompetent or stolen . His unreason-ability has become a standing joke here, a colloquialism, thus entirely appropriate for the purpose of my post
Also most of his 'evidence' is his own journaled opinions about a Microsoft product. That coupled with insulting immature abbreviations or name calling make for are rather obnoxious reading instead of a reasoned, clever addendum. I do believe Twitter (assuming he is legit) is an intelligent fellow, but his passion has a lot of collateral damage that we (those promoting Open Source Software*) could well do without...
You did notice I was actually mocking the post that was derogatory to linux and Apple? Should I now suppose you are Twitter out to defend his reputation via puppet accounts? If so, the criticism of yourself is only because I wish you would behave honourably. Or are you a genuine fan? Hmmm, how to know... Twitter's problem is not intelligent insights, but abhorrent delivery and authority. Please pass that up the grapevine.
* I am also passionate about the use of the OSS. I also have been excessive in the past.:) My family adds the phrase "you could use linux for that" whenever Microsoft is mentioned. The Microsoft or Apple fan boy mal-alignment is laughable. I confess to being a linux fan boy, a Debian fan boy. And I agree with your statements concerning various systems.
I know twitter/erris posts regularly but not that often. And yes, most linux users I've met roll their eyes and look wearily at people who do that kind of thing. Of course one can accept that two characters are somewhat more appropriate abbreviation than adding extra letters to the end of a proper name. MS would be my preferred abbreviation.
Obviously people are running more than one operating system or distro. I'm surprised it isn't at 300+%. I personally run 2 distros (1 Debian, 1 K Ubuntu). I am a novice though.
Time frames perhaps? While I certainly believe the Hebrews built some of them (not speculating which though), I believe for part of the construction the Hebrews were in Caanan or what ever the area was called. I was lead to believe that the Hebrews were slaves for only part of the period (~3 generations) they resided in Egypt. Of course all that I have said is randomly collated trivia that may possible not be as factual as I was lead to believe.
Thank you for responding, but it seems I'm over-looking something. I am aware of the subtleties of 'an' and 'a' I still can't find anything that seems to err grammatically.
Your grammar error calls to mind a metaphor.
If you take a badly exposed piece of film and put in the developer too long, you get out... a bad, *overdeveloped* piece of film.
Vista is the same way. The development time is really irrelevant: the fact that they spent a long time on it just means that it has *lots* of shitty features rather than only a few.
To this someone replied that every post correcting grammar contains an grammatical error.
I have tested some distros but hey unless a double click wont install whatever software i want, it's not working.
Each to their own, but I prefer software that installs or runs when I click it.
The Linux community have to realize that I vill never compile a kernel or an App. And as long as it isn't as simple as in OS X it will never have a chance against Windows. There are a lot of things that Linux geeks never understand. In this prospect Linux is good for geeks but not for the rest of us.
Will opening Synaptic, scrolling through a list of programs (can search for desire) and saying 'Oooo! that looks interesting I'll install that!'. Click tick box and then install button and wait ~15 minutes (mostly) and then run program be easy enough?
A friend of my installed Ubuntu on his PC, I tried to guide him on how to copy a file between 2 hard drive partitions. Permissions where f****d up so he could not copy that file. Well I could not guide him over the phone because he did not even understand permissions.
Yeah, you may have a point here concerning permissions, but then that is the real reason why we don't want Joe Schmo doing electrical work. Most times they can get the wires in the house so they work, but eventually they will kill something. Electrical wiring generally is easier than making coffee, but it can be a potential security problem. Thus we have professional (hopefully) tradesmen to do the work. (by the way, I am an Australian Electrical tradesman with 8 years experience in the mining industry and several in domestic.)
No Linux is not good. And will probably never be unless a company takes over totally, a company like Apple. But hey Apple is having it's OSX and for geeks it might not bee as nice as Linux but for the majority it's light years ahead of any Linux distro.
I disagree, but am not diametrically opposed to your position. I don't understand why people want Windows when there is OS X. (Yeah, I get the history, but I reckon forward thinking people would be better off with OSX than with Windows.)
Does it steal focus for every pop-up from currently focused program? Do it stop movies and presentations? If so then you are right and I agree it is crap. If it just pops up with a polite 'excuse me' under the original focused program, then it is still not good, but not quite crap.
But it still should not stop a presentation, or movie especially when the program is in full screen mode. The user has said they wish to focus computer usage on this program. When I'm running a program as a full screen presentation, I don't want something that can feasibly wait until my focus is more flexible. Low power is fair enough. New updates are not.
Considering the basis for the power generation was built before the bomb, yes, I believe we would have nuclear fission power plants without that particular race. It was experimentation and calculation that brought nuclear power, not adaption of a constructed device. There would also be less panic at the mention of nuclear. If 'dirty' bombs had been derived first, then we could then assign heritage to the nuclear arms race.
Really? I thought the Israeli military had the best techniques and training, but not the total firepower of the USA. I'm Aussie, and have no delusions of grandeur concerning our military prowess. (I have heard that we were pretty good innovators and survivors when the chips are down. And because Australian military never had the best or even adequate equipment, the chips were/are always down.)
Most of these types of letters or tactics are because the authors believes they were being witty. Of course, wit belongs to a bygone era thus we have these dregs as our daily meal. I have no doubt the author sincerely believes he was being funny.

Hell, I never thought I'd say it! But that was a reasonable post so give the bloke his due...

Perhaps it is now our iron-nickel core?
I hope its delusions don't seem that extra ordinary; I've heard people are becoming more obese, but mocking Pluto's justification to planet-hood?
It is also pretty empty.
That is because they forgot the opening tag. It doesn't render in my browser either.

That is horrible. Thank the linux gods that not everything is going down that path.
In the interests of improving my English, what was the error?
Come on, finish the story! I want to hear about the masochistic stuff!
