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.

Anthropomorphizing much? :roll:
I once read how archaeologists found this Greek cup with: "I belong to ..." and then the person's name written on the bottom. I think it's so much more creative than just writing the owner's name, isn't it? What's wrong with anthropomorphizing?

Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

use to be way less social, but that was an unspeakable time when I also had plans of making .bat viruses, tried to sell a media player made in basic, and wanted to put SQL on my server, but hadn't any idea what it was...

yup...those were the stupid days, before I learned C...

I'm gona totally troll this ancient post, but I was browsing around and ran into this site, and it reminded me of this. I go and look it up, and oh god, he has a f* website!

Oh god, more! http://rixstep.com/1/1/20080101,01.shtml

EDIT2!:
And yet, this is a difficult exersize. Linux represents the old school, with its mainframe like interface, and arcane secret programming languages. Porting the softwares to this platform involves hiring the hippies who understand this obtuse environment. These people are typically unreliable, and have difficulty living wth the regular 9-5 work ethic. They believe in intellectual property theft, free love, substance abuse, and marxism.
Oh my god...oh wait, crap, forgot I believed in Marxism!

Better hope the cops don't find me using Debian without paying my M$ royalties!

I recently got myself a new laptop (the previous burnt out its power circuitry) and I went shopping for a good deal. Basically I went around talking to the people having them say "Yes linux will work on this" so that I can come back and reclaim my money if it doesn't work.

Anyway, i got down to the MyCom and walked around with this representative that was apparently eager to help, and so I asked him about dualbooting.
His response: "No that won't work, you'd need twice the amount of memory to run both windows and linux"

Obviously, I got my laptop elsewhere.

Ahhh... what's wrong with everyone? Did you even bother to take a look at the guy's forum? He's kidding... I can't help but feel sorry about anyone who wouldn't get it; guess he's just smarter than you.
