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!!

I'm sure someone is just having fun with people, he knows what a computer is so he cant be THAT stupid :P

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:

Haha! I'm sure "everyone" here knows a "jerryleecooper"-like individual :wink:

They're like insects, you can't squish them all unfortunately.. :(

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.

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.

I am without words. I can hardly read the entire posts. How? What? I....am so....lost. What!? I....I....What!?

*Cries*
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 have a social life, believe it or not. I don't yet have a name for my computer...

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
