Well HTF was I supposed to know that? With all the anti-MS stuff that gets spewed here I figured it was another militant penguin at work.

Note the avatar. Ameesh is obviously just one of the herd.

i know what you're talking about, but it wouldn't hurt to be a little less hasty to flame.

So how many linux programmers does it take?

A fewer than 472, but in.bchanged will not work with your light bulb or your bulb socket. Also in.bchanged v0.2 might work with your bulbs and sockets, but noone knows how use it. v.03 works with bulbs and its lot more usable, but you need the newest electrical system to use it...

It will go MS-DOS style.

Invalid bulb
Invalid bulb
Invalid bulb
Invalid bulb
Invalid bulb
.
.
C:\Lightbulb\change\MS.exe

Since it doesn't have instict to know what light bulb would fit

WinStatusQueryLightbulb wattage
WinStatusReturn, invalid wattage code, enter code again.

Changing lightbulb is easy for us, but it's outstandingly difficult for Windows programmers.

Type: Fluorescent, HID, halogen or incandescent

sub cats..

watts..

designations..

ballast type..

socket type..

Here is one I just made up. How many Linux users does it take to change a lightbulb.




It never gets changed because they argue over which 'distro' of their open-source light bulb is better.
