i work with linux systems all the time and i refuse to run cedega(wine) to play games that'll run at 1/4 speed of what it does in windows xp. on the otherhand, linux r0x for everything else... not multimedia related. ;p

good luck... linux on desktop is pretty horrible...
What !!! you think you are insulting me or something? I dont give 2 $hits what you use it doesn't benefit nor harm me, it's a matter of personal choice and I respect that. That is why I have this thread in the off topic because I don't have any intentions of going technical nor transforming this thread into another " Why you should convert to Linux/ Linux vs Windows Article" to the already existing quadrillion articles and blogs out there.
haha insulting you? Start drinking decaf, kid.
You're the one freaking out about bill gates and whatver other bs you think someone is stealing from open source. I use unix about 95% of all time i spent using computers and Linux is about as unproductive as a desktop can get.
I'm willing to bet you're a teenbopper kid that loaded up mandrake on your pc and now you think you're "1337" because you go around blabbering how linux is great and how bill gates is the antichrist. Grow the fvck up :roll:
Chris Jones is fckin lying
Chris Jones : You will not get spyware and malware on your computer anymore.
Interviewer : Why not?
Chris Jones : Because we have great Anti-Malware/Spyware support built into the system!!!
The Linuxator : ; turns off BS alarm; -------------> at this instant the need for a rant on AT was absolute.
its the same BS over and over , at least I will not pay a cent if I did't like what I am getting from Linux.
Will you please shut up. As a linux user myself...you are a moron. Nothing is more secure than anything else unless you unplug it from the internet and reduce the userbase to 1 person. If linux where as popular as windows, everyone would b!tch about how crappy the security is on linux. Look at the IE, Firefox battle. Everyone complained about IE and said how great and secure Firefox is. Before Firefox was popular there where almost NO security updates. Now that it's semi-popular, geeeee lots and lots of security releases. Yes, Firefox is still better, but they still don't have much market share compared to IE. The same thing will happen linux if the day ever comes when it is more popular.
And as you claim, if MS is stealing from Apple, then they will get sued. If their are similarities, big f'in deal. I want you to write a program and come up with completely original ideas every time.
NO YOU STFU, I just had enough $hit form devolopers promising BS to the average user, and hey if Linux becomes as popular as windows, it's not the same BS , windows is weak by archecticture not by being exposed to popularity, they started realsing that everytime they get some hot competetion from opensource, and thats why they started preventing the users from becoming Admin of the local system just like that an example of hot piping competetion would be firefox, and yes in programming you can come up with ideas and thats why patents still exist its because there are still people out there that are not cloners, so what would you say about firefox, IE 7 was a failed clone, they didnt even bother coming up with ideas for years.
They just sat down waited for the mozilla guys to finish up the work, and just copied down.
So a bunch of developers with a public support make firefox the ultimate webbrowser yet, but MICRO$OFT the biggest software corporation in the world didn't even move a finger untill they felt that FF might be be burning them aive.
That my friend is called fighting the greedy a$$holes you watch raping ppls privacy, by spying on them,, and the right to get your money's worth out of software, not get kicked around by instabilities, and having to patch my OS like tire that fell over a box of nails.
Please, learn something about security before stating any statments regarding security. EVERYTHING is weak by architecture. Linux has plenty of weak architecture elements to it. For example you need to use OpenBSD (solaris as well) in order to have a system with a non-executable stack (if you even know what that is). Having an executable stack is one monster architecture flaw. Also the numerous security issues with syscalls. Oh yes, and how long has it taken to get threading in linux? Would you like me to go on? Yes, I prefer linux over windows, but it's not perfect.
Nothing is perfect ,ansd yes you look like you knoe more than me when it comes to Linux, well let me tell you I haven't been using Linux all that long at all , but it just feels good to know that you are independent of the biggest monopoly in the world.
:beer: for five40
