Disucssion on Mirc when I asked for some help for Linux....

....and this is what I got- I replaced a lotta names and things just to be safe though if the person posts here the'll recognize it

but i was suprised at the reaction...btw i did lie about using linux for a month- its been about 1 week now and that was it- just didn't wanna seem like a total newb (Though I did really learn the stuff i stated and then some)

and yes- i really tried (hehe again- i've been trying since drake 8.0 a dozen different distros and i think i'll stick with fedora core 1 since i feel like i've done so much)

<him> ok, I think you should be studying instead
<me> so should I
<me> class in 2.5 hours
<me> no sleep
<him> so im gonna ban you
<him> and let you study
<him> or sleep
<me> sorry
<me> wait
<me> f that
_____________ sets mode: +o him
<me> you aren't even a vooice
<me> oh sh|t
<me> i'm screwed
<me> heh
<him> hi.
<him> huhu.
<me> huhu? never heard of that
<me> hrmm...damn - well u noe of a better newsgroup program beyond PAN? I prefer Xnews for Windows b/c the functionality is oh so much better
<him> yeah, tin or slrn.
<me> hrmm..thanks- later i'll hope yum or apt-get has it ready 4 me 😉
<him> you are such a fvscking retard
<him> why do you use linux again?
<him> why dont you just install windows XP home edition
<him> and be happy?
<me> because tvout doesn't work right
<him> oh fvscking please.
<me> yup
<me> it squishes the TV
<him> you mean because you are too fvscking DUMB to use it correctly.
<me> umm nope
<me> it worked fine
<him> umm yes.
<me> a month ago i updated my old drivers
<him> uh huh
<me> and my pc felt slightly faster and the benchies said so...but i noticed the tvout was fubared
<him> and didnt bohter to find new settings for overscan controls
<me> so i figured "why not try linux"
<me> and i've been using it since
<him> wow, that is the most fvscking gayest reason I ever heard.
<me> tho now i'm in the windoze just b/c i can't find out how to send a file thru Gaim
<me> just because I'm not uber leet total command prompt like you doesn't mean i can't use linux
<me> I compiled Mplayer on my own and i liked that
<him> shrug, I use windows, I dont have time to waste on fvscking with a dying OS.
<me> i got the nts rpm and xmms-mp3 rpm done easy but that wasnt' anything hard
<him> i run linux hwere it belongs, under my desk on a half-dead 486 routing my packets.
<him> there is no fvscking reason to run it on anything modern, with a monitor, or anything of that type.
<him> desktop linux is a fvscking waste of time
<him> and you are one of hte reasons it sucks.
<gleam> heh
<me> i found out how to edit the XF86Freeconfig to setup the tvout...I guess its a nice change of pace and interesting
<me> I am a reason it sucks? Sounds like someone hate the GUI
<me> and you prolly bitch at the ignorance of Windows users too
<him> no, i love windows GUI
<him> cause its done right
<him> linux GUI sucks ass
<me> Really? I like Gnome- I'm planning to Fluxbox it up perhaps over x-mas break when i have free time...i'm thinking of a MacOSX skin of a sort
<him> me: see, I use my computers for getting work done.
<him> that involves coding, network administration, random thigns that just need to get done.
<him> with linsux, I'dbe spending 4 hours a day just trying to change backgrounds on my desktop
<him> i *like* how windows loks.
<him> I dont need transparent menus
<him> or other gay sh|t
<him> i fvscking hate how all the linsux GUI sh|t is unusable from keyboard
<him> I fvscking hate poinitng and clicking to do sh|t
<me> well it seems you are a ICS person 🙂 that is fine
<him> and with windows I can do 100% of what I need from keyboard without ever touching the mouse
<him> unplug your fvscking mouse from a linsux desktop running some gui
<him> and see how far you get.
<me> either way just saying ignore linux seems werd...i tried mandrake 8.1 on an old pc for the hell of it and i'm amazed how far linux has come GUI-wise
<him> im not.
<him> it still sucks fvscking ass
<him> in 2003 linsux dudes are getting sh|t windows people had back in 1995
<him> thats progress for ya
<him> !math 2003 - 1995
<him> fvscking 8 years ago
<me> I still don't see your point as to why i shouldn't use linux
<him> BECAUSE YOU DONT NEED IT
<me> all you say is because linux is inferior in the GUI
<me> why don't i need it
<me> give me real reasons
<him> because you DID try it, so next time some idiot is going to have windows trouble, instead of HELPING you'll say "just TRY LINSUX"
<me> no i won't
<me> I've told people to NOT try it because some people think its that easy
<him> and you will contribute to the problem of fvsckWITS like you using an OS they hsouldnt be using.
<him> if all the fvsckwits in the world ran windows, linux wouldnt be so fvscking ANNOYING AND POPULAR that it is now
<him> which brings even MORE retards in.
<me> I still don't get u- Microsoft invades our privacy (i've known of DRM and things of the sort even b4 making the switch) and things of the sort yet you don't mention anything....
<me> besides...what is wrong with a change of pace
<him> oh fvscking please
<me> everyone starts out as a fvscking nitwit
<him> how does DRM in windows affects you
<him> or me
<him> or anyfvsckingoneelse
<him> except fvscking PIRATES
<him> i never had problems with DRM.
<me> I'm not concerend with short term implications
<him> ok, i gotta get back to work. arguing wiht you is a complete waste of time.
<me> where do u work?


He told me he was a programmer who wrote windows software....why is there such hatred towards linux or something?

Probably because he thinks people are probably doing what he does and doing it better/faster/easier in linux and giving it away for free and it freaks him out.

Either that or maybe a visual studio programmer and people who use perl scare him. 😛
 
If I saw that argument in a channel I was in, I would have dismissed you both as dumbasses and just ignored you. Although the conversation up to the point where you copy/pasted it is important, and you didn't paste it (nor do I want to read that much 😛).

hrmm...damn - well u noe of a better newsgroup program beyond PAN? I prefer Xnews for Windows b/c the functionality is oh so much better

^^^ Typing like that immediately causes me to assume a person is not worth a significant amount of my time.
 
Ok, most would agree that although I'm not a zealot I'm definately one of the more pro-Microsoft people around here.

That guy was a tard.

can't be helped 😉 Downloading Foreign Dramas are an impossible task without bittorrent which is blocked so Newsgroups are my only method to still obtain them 🙂 As for that comment now tha tI think about it I think I should have said

"I prefer Xnews for Windows b/c I've used it longer which makes it easier for me"


As for my ignorance, well I don't know everything about Linux so I guess I am

Ignorance is bliss :wine:
