Some people should just be shot...

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Wow, is that for real? I don't believe that people that dumb were allowed to touch computers. Think of all the harm they could do!!

still, posting downright incorrect information and holding on to it while presented with proof of the contrary is just stupid.

He does remind me of some anti-ms weenie that runs around this place. NO NAMES. :roll:

I think jerryleecooper must be practicing to be a CEO or a politician. Sticking to a bald-faced lie in the face of overwhelming evidence is a necessity for these jobs. A general detachment from reality helps too.
Top three reasons why my OS project died:
  1. Too much overtime at work
  2. Got married
  3. My brain got stuck in an infinite loop while trying to design the memory manager
Don't let this happen to you!

I think it's pathetic for him to assume that since Vista cost billions to develop and a majority of the population has Windows means that free systems aren't actually free.

Obviously these people assume that Windows is just the GUI - they don't realize exactly when the OS takes over from the BIOS.

And I think it's time the open source operating system community got a bit of publicity - so that people realize it is actually possible to make your own OS.

My 2 cents.

It's okay Shelly. He didn't know what he was talking about. They just don't know!
*Breaks into total breakdown; Hysterically crying.*

Ahem. This is Shelly. Alboin has lost control of himself, so I will end this post.

Goodbye.

I don't have an active social life.. but I also don't give inanimate objects human names either... (Or any names for that matter, beyond their generic descriptive name.. "Computer #1, desk, chair.. etc")

Anthropomorphizing much? :roll:

I have the occasional party that I go to, spend friday nights with people and do other social things. I'm fit and thin too...

I'm the opposite of the stereotype :D
