WIN 7

[Mocassin Joe]

So you can't figure out Windows 7? Windows 7 is much better than Vista
and is very stable. You are probably incompetent and therefore you should
migrate to Ubuntu. Get with our resident Ubuntu idiot, Alias and he will
help you out.

Don't let the screen door hit your ass on the way out. LOL!

Uncalled for. You sound like some of the MacFreaks on CSMA.

Very likely true, but then I am dealing with a fool and as they say
"in Roman do as the Romans do".

Who is more foolish, the fool or the fool that keeps arguing and
replying to the fool?

Why snip it?
It's exactly why Windows and Office are so popular, and linux is getting
nowhere fast.
Linux and it's apps suck.
Deal with it.

Linux servers hacked more frequently than Windows

By ZDNet Research | February 19, 2004, 8:21am PST
Summary
An analysis of hacker attacks on online servers in January by security
consultancy mi2g found that Linux servers were the most frequently
violated, accounting for 13,654 successful attacks, or 80% of the
survey total. Windows ran a distant second with 2,005 attacks.

A more specific analysis of government servers also found Linux more
susceptible, accounting for 57% of all breaches. The research did not
include other methods of intrusion such as viruses and worms.

Alias couldn't find one that said that.
He's a good hen pecker/ubuntard.
Ask him to find a link bashing Windows...take him 15 seconds(or less, bet he
has a list)

Do you even read what you post?

Do you even understand what you read?

I didn't say that. You should buy a Mac.

Windows and Office are so popular because almost all expoits
ever created are for Windows, and that because of this, there
is an inherent susceptibilty?

Well, that was the topic of this sub-thread....not your
incessant whining about how nothing in Linux ever works for
you.

One specific discussion subject that you turn into crying
about your problems and how Linux sucks and will never go
anywhere, blah, blah, blah...........

They were OT as they did not have anything to do with the
subject at hand.

Need more?

Try using this: http://www.google.com/ and stop being such a twit.

Ah... So as I suspected you didn't know enough about either Linux or
Windows to explain the difference.

However, your first reference doesn't discuss disk defragging.

In addition your second reference doesn't discuss disk defragging.

And, not only that, but your third reference doesn't discuss disk
defragging.

And finally, TA! DA!, your fourth reference discusses disk defraging.

I've had this feeling all along that you didn't really know very much
about computers and all this shouting and hand waving was really a
facade to disguise the fact. And you prove it.

You made the statement that de-fraging was necessary and I questioned
it, you, not knowing the answer ignored my question; I asked again,
with emphasis, and lo and behold, you went to google and discovered
some references but apparently, not only did you know anything about
the subject, but you didn't even read the references that you posted
as three of the four had no relationship to the subject.

You have certainly proved my original belief that you don't know what
you are talking about as even your final reference doesn't state that
defragging a Linux disk is never necessary.

So that you won't have to take the bother to actually read any of your
references I'll quote from your only valid reference:

NOTE: The "first filesystem" refers to Windows and the "second" refers
to Linux

--------------------------------------------------
The first filesystem tries to put all files as close to the start of
the hard drive as it can, thus it constantly fragments files when they
grow larger and there's no free space available.

The second scatters files all over the disk so there's plenty of free
space if the file's size changes. It can also re-arrange files
on-the-fly, since it has plenty of empty space to shuffle around.
Defragging the first type of filesystem is a more intensive process
and not really practical to run during normal use.

Fragmentation thus only becomes an issue on this latter type of system
when a disk is so full that there just aren't any gaps a large file
can be put into without splitting it up. So long as the disk is less
than about 80% full, this is unlikely to happen.
-----------------------------------------

If you had bothered to read what you referenced you would have seen
that the author states that a Linux disk will remain unfragmented
UNTIL ABOUT 80% OF THE DISK IS FILLED.

( although that is very dependant on the size of files being stored)

So, your assertion that Linux disks don't require defragging is
technically false although probably true, in practice, except in large
file servers.

However, that was not the point of the exercise. The point of the
exercise was to discover whether you really were as un-knowledgeable
about computers as had been suspected and you certainly removed any
doubt about the matter.

And you are lazy too. You didn't even read the references that you
provided.

You have the audacity to "help" people with their computers? Amazing!
It certainly says something about the gullibility of the people you
associate with, doesn't it?

You are putting words in my mouth again. Not only have I posted that I
am not a computer expert, I have never claimed to know everything about
computers.

O.K., I'll go along with you - you don't know anything about
computers.

Then why are you insistently making pronouncements about Windows and
Linux? Do you really feel that someone that has confessed to being
ignorant about the subject can have anything of value to contribute?

Or are you so arrogant that you feel that any pronouncement you make
is valid simply because you said it? Infallible, like the Pope?

The fact that someone's lack of knowledge is a brownie point
for you says more about you than me, chum. That said, I provided you
with links that describe the differences between Linux and Windows and
why Linux doesn't need defragging. You could have done the same thing
with a cursory Google search AND YOU KNOW IT. You only purpose in asking
was to try and set me up to prove that I'm not as knowledgeable as you.

No, not as knowledgeable as I am. Since I know that the Windows kernel
is not called the Registry and I know that neither Fedora nor Ubuntu
are based on gnome I am much more knowledgeable then you. The question
was how dumb you actually are.

And since 75% of your response had nothing to do with the subject
under discussion.....

As you obviously don't know, every so often Ubuntu does a hard drive
check when booting and before loading the desktop. I'm not sure if
that's just a disk check or a defrag but I'm not a computer expert.

The fsck that Linux does isn't a disk defrag it is simply checking the
file structure and if necessary repairing it.

You diss me for helping people. That also says more about you than me. I
help where I can and don't post anything if I don't know the answer.

No, I don't diss you for helping people I diss you for talking about
subjects that you don't know anything about. "Waving your hands in the
air and shouting", "the sky is falling!"

So, all my replies to you in the future

will be to STFU Loser.

So you are moving up to the intelligence level and discussion
content of Frank ?

Good move.

Next your be channeling Stan Starinski. At least *that* would be
a step up.

 

[Heywood Jablowme]

Do you really think don't know anything?

You really are clueless aren't you? You can answer any of his questions and
with good reason. You are a complete idiot.

 

[Heywood Jablowme]

Are you saying that all Windows users are rich and all Linux users are
poor or what?

No. He is saying that you are an idiot.

 

[Heywood Jablowme]

Six year old article that is obviously biased. You *really* are desperate.

Why don't you stick with being the Ubuntu Marketing Department, take 10,000
Ubuntu CDs to Nigeria and try to convince people to get on board with
Ubuntu. Just think, if you pass out all 10,000 CDs, you may get another 7
users!

 

[Heywood Jablowme]

Actually, if you read what he wrote, he isn't.

Actually, he really is saying that you are an idiot. So is everyone else!
LOL!

 

[Death]

So you are moving up blah, blah, blah

STFU Loser

"Do you really think don't know anything?"

As I have written many times, you really do need to take a remedial
English course.

[John B. Slocomb]

Read what you wrote again, speaking of clueless.


I know the answers to some and I don't know the answers to others just
like anyone else. Oh, and if I were "a complete idiot", I wouldn't be
able to use a computer, much less post here.

Alias, they have taught a chimpanzee to operate a computer so your
claim is hardly an achievement and the Chimp knew enough to give
correct answers... a trait that you are hardly capable of.

NO... DirectX games and HDTV viewer!

BFD dude, if on the very rare occasion I want to play a DirectX game I
boot to Windows. That's one of the reasons I use BOTH OS's, to get the
best of BOTH worlds. Why I would want to watch an HD program on a
pathetic small screen compared to 60" of pure joy with 7.1 surround and
an awesome sub, is beyond me. Not a friggen chance even IF I can/could
in Win7 or Linux! What a waste of time that would be, not to mention the
disappointment of features! For those with just a 19" - 24" computer
screen being their only mode of viewing movies, then so what, boot to
Winders and do the viewing, then boot back to Linux for a more secure
email and surfing experience. Get off this bit of putting one or the
other down, use them both for a complete experience. This
narrow-mindedness bit is astounding! What's the F'ing point?

G'day

 

[Muad'Dib]

To the Windroids of the world, one has to choose. Ya know, like Bush
told other countries when he became a war criminal and attacked Iraq:
"You're either we us or against us".

I agree with you 100 per cent. Why not have both?

Yup, the best of BOTH worlds is a good thing. These people who wanna
make one choose one or the other are a bunch of biased morons, and are
suspect of paid shilling and the like.

You are correct about the speed of 64bit along with ext4, as this new
test machine ROCKS with Ubuntu 64bit installed. The speed of application
startup and so on is astounding! Win7 is pretty spunky as well which is
a plus for my Winders needs. (Which is very minimal.) Let the shills say
what they will, but on this machine dual booting Win7 64bit, and Ubuntu
64bit, Ubuntu wins with speed and efficiency, plus using the better part
of Compiz, compared to Winders desktop effects.

I still maintain, and will not let go the idea that if Winders adopted
some of the better parts of Compiz effects, (And/Or OSX) they would have
a winner as far as desktop effects are concerned. As it is, most of the
clunky effects they have now are mostly a joke. Most people could care
less who came up with what, as long as they have the excellent effects
that help them get things done! LOL, but then Microsoft has a real
problem with actually writing software originating from them. Usually
they have to STEAL it from someone or another, LOL. (Just take a look at
the lawsuits!..Not to mention their history in general! LOL. LOL, LOL!)
...Still, they could at least do SIMILAR useful Compiz effects, and just
adsorb the biased critical BS. AGAIN, MOST people could care less who
came up with what, what they want is what works. BUT the self centered,
self important, moronic, dick-weeds better known as Microsoft
Corporation, thinks they know better. Well, as a result of their
arrogance, I truly hope they fall flat on their face eventually, as most
arrogant people do. Time will tell; I see that a great many people are
nothing more than sheep, blindly following each other. .. How sad for
them.. Blindly following morons, making them morons? ..LOL!

G'day
