Linux

[flatfish+++]

Oh, we have a chime-in from Ahlstrom the hypocrite that makes his living
using MS solutions and he is talking smack as usual. He doesn't use
Linux at all to make his living.

Laughable.....

Ahlstrom is a boob.
The worst form of Linux advocate because he is just so petty and
unbelievable.

He just hasn't been the same since his master Roy left.

I think he needs to level set and start over again.
Maybe God will grant him a new life.

Anything has to be better than what he is living now.

It's just like when I got tired of Big Blue and decided to make my
conversion over the PC(s) and client/server using MS. I was able to do
it and didn't take a pay cut either. If he hates MS so much, why can't
he convert over to Linux and make a living from Linux?

If he was making a living from Linux and had completely converted over
from MS, that's one thing. But he can't even do it. He wants to run his
mouth about the very horse that feeds the clown?

He is totally ridiculous and laughable

Because he is a spineless, gormless wonder.
He is at a job he has probably had for 20 or more years, is comfortable
and doesn't want to rock the boat.

Jayne wears the pants in the former Yaris now Ford Fiesta Ahlstrom
house.

Chris wears the skirts.

Yep.
A complete hypocrite, just like the Reverand Flagel in the Porkey's
Movies.
Watching porn on Sat. nite and preaching of it's evils on Sun. morning.

Alias wrote this copyrighted missive and expects royalties:


Indeed. A handful of "issues" compared to "Typhoid Microsoft".

The claim was Linux doesn't get viruses. So I guess that was just a lie,
eh? So what else is new?

And what is even more laughable is considering the small number of
applications that runs under Linux. How many games can Linux run now?
About 300 isn't it?

Laughable in the extreme.

What is even more laughable is the Commodore 64 was said to run 20,000
applications if I remember right. And was popular for 10 years before it
died out. And Linux has been around for 19 years (almost twice as long).
And I don't think it has caught up to the success of the Commodore 64 yet.

I work at place that's pretty strict. Both Linux and Windows are required
to run a McAfee "Host based security system". However, Linux is exempt from
the "anti-virus" requirement.

McAfee is one of the worst. I guess the IT department isn't that bright
where you work at, eh?

"BillW50"'s silly link shows why; he's not a very sharp tool, is he?

All I had to show was Linux can and does get viruses. Nothing more. If
you want more, I charge by the hour. ;-)

Every OS can get viruses.
No exceptions.

Some are targeted more than others because they have more users and the
peripheral damage and publicity for the virus writer are greater.

And what is even more laughable is considering the small number of
applications that runs under Linux. How many games can Linux run now?
About 300 isn't it?

Yea, and about 175 of them are variations on Tetris or Pacman.

What is even more laughable is the Commodore 64 was said to run 20,000
applications if I remember right. And was popular for 10 years before it
died out. And Linux has been around for 19 years (almost twice as long).
And I don't think it has caught up to the success of the Commodore 64 yet.

The Commodore was an excellent machine.
It had one fault and that was it was percieved as a consumer game
machine
IBM capitalized on that stereotype and gave "credibility" to the PC as a
professional office device.

I laughed my ass off when the original IBMPC was announced.
No color graphics.
Add in boards for everything.
Ancient looking.

The Commodore had a SID chip, various ports to interface with external
devices and so forth.
It was light years ahead of the IBMPC in all but the name, IBM and that
is pretty much what killed it, and the Atari ST for that matter.

McAfee is one of the worst. I guess the IT department isn't that bright
where you work at, eh?

That absolute worst is McAfee.
Bloated, unstable and super control freak like.
It's even worse than Symantec which has cleaned up it's bloated act in
the last year or so.

All I had to show was Linux can and does get viruses. Nothing more. If
you want more, I charge by the hour. ;-)

Awww....good set up but I'll leave Liarmutt alone on this one.
He just hasn't been the same since his master Roy left COLA.

He's like a turd that used to be a floater but is now a sinker.

I was on Big Blue from 1971 to around 1996. However, I did some
contracts on the IBM Personal System 2, Integrated Business Computer
client/server, Apple and Novell server/MS workstation client/server
before I made my way completely off the mainframe.

The only excuse that he can possibly have for not going over to Linux is
that he doesn't ware the pants in his family like you say.

 

[BillW50]

His heating furnace is out of order.

Nope, many reasons except heat. And most of them only draw 25 watts
anyway. This one is currently drawing 14.2 watts (yes I have a watt
meter connected). Most of the time only one is running. Two running at
the same time happens every once in a while. ;-)

1) Beta testing (the more the better)

2) Many different OS (dualbooting is obsolete here)

3) Backups (never have to worry about a computer failure)

4) Some are the same except have different CPUs installed (great for
performance and beta checking)

 

[Leythos]

Why do you have so many?

It's amazing how Alias, a self-professed computer support type person,
doesn't have any idea what someone would have a dozen computers in their
home/office.... Sheesh, I wish I only had a dozen, my electric bill
would be a lot cheaper.

I use to have a collection myself. I have some computers in storage I am
going to give away. I am just down to a laptop, desktop and my Driod now.

 

[BillW50]

Yeah, like Linux.

No not like Linux. As Linux is weak in the knees and just doesn't have
the support that Windows has. Hell the Mac even has like 10 times more
support than Linux does. And Windows has like 10 times more support than
the Mac.

It is funny watching Linux fanatics brag. They think running a widely
unsupported and ignored OS is such a great thing. ;-)

This from someone who thinks Outhouse Distress is a good program.

Attack the messenger when all else fails.
Looks like you failed, "Alias".

Alias has always been dead wood. It thinks it is somebody in the Windows
forums. They hate its guts.

Far better than this piece of crap I am using right now under Linux. ;-)

 

[BillW50]

Liar.

Actually you are the liar. Just like I said before, the pot calling the
kettle black. Someday you will look in the mirror and shock yourself. ;-)

Gosh, a rip off web site that tries to scare Linux users into buying
their anti malware software. Not very convincing, sport.

Anything to do with Linux is a ripoff. Even the old outdated Commodore
64 has more popularity than Linux does. Pretty sad, eh?

My comment was meant as a bit of humor - a joke, as it were.

You wish.

Actually I know...

You failed.

Thunderbird?

You're kidding right?

See the reviews, it gets 1.5 stars out of 5:

No wonder I hate it so much! Yet so many claim it is the best. Shows
what they know, eh?

 

[BillW50]

Look at it this way, in a couple of weeks Canonical will be bragging
about the 10's of millions of downloads of their latest turd, Ubuntu
nappy that they hosted.
They, Fedora, Mandriva and the rest do it all the time when they release
a new version.

Now stick with me for a second, but think about it.
If even 1/2 of these people were still using Linux after a week,
Microsoft would have been out of business 10 years ago.

The truth is, people try Linux, hate Linux, dump Linux.
That's the process and it hasn't changed much in 20 years of Linux being
free.
[...]

Microsoft's good fortune is that the competition, desktop Linux, is so
utterly awful that people won't even take it for free.
The day that you guys pool your resources, stop the 500+ distributions
and start organizing is the day Microsoft is in trouble.
You'll never do it though.
You are far too ignorant as a group.

Very well said. ;-)

 

[BillW50]

I use T-Bird for text news only and very few newsgroups. I use Outlook
for email in Windows 7 and XP. T-Bird is still better than OE was.

It is obvious you don't know how to use OE.

Alias is like Goblin if you know what I mean. It's got a lot of
worthless lip service. You had best kick Alias to the curb.
