couldnt type in the old topic


anyways

I havent seen a Windows crash in 6 years, of course, we only use MS
logo approved apps and hardware, but still

MS logo approved apps have the windows logo on the box, like Symantec,
Adobe and Dragon Dictate

Is the blue screen still blue? in XP? in Vista?


tried to instal linix yesterday, took me all day, and I had to resort
to command line

COMMAND LINE IS FROM THE 1960'S!!!

LONG LIVE THE GUI!!

anyways, now I'm in a linix chatroom, and they are telling me I have
to recompile the colonel (whatever that means)

OMG

Dunno what those are. Well, Adobe rings a bell.

What's a blue screen? What's XP? What's Vista?
This is a Linux newsgroup. None of those terms mean
anything to me... though I'm sure many of the M$
converts will know what you're referring to.

What does instal mean? What's linix?

Wouldn't know about that. Linix may be some odd
Unixish OS I've never heard of. Do you mean Minix?
Or... since this is a Linux newsgroup, do you mean
Linux (rhymes with Linus)?

> and I had to resort to command line

I would say judging from your typing skills that
something as powerful as the CLI could really mess you
up. Better not use it.

> COMMAND LINE IS FROM THE 1960'S!!!

Command line is for power users and for those with
a curiosity about the engine underneath that shiny GUI
hood and for those interested in scripting. Obviously
you're WAY out of your league.

> LONG LIVE THE GUI!!

Sure for people who care more about the color of
their car than the type of engine under the hood.

> anyways, now I'm in a linix chatroom,

Again, what's linix? What chatroom? You should ask
THEM what they're talking about.

> and they are telling me I have

I think it means they can't spell any better than you
can... but maybe there's some kind of Windows thing
known as a colonel. Anyway, how are WE supposed to
know what kind of discussions you're having in some
chatroom?

> OMG

I know you're a troll and all, but...
On the very remote chance that this was a serious post,
forget about Linux (rhymes with Linus) and go back to
your Redmondware... or better yet, buy a Mac.
When my father ran into problems with Red Hat many
years ago (RH 5.1, IIRC), and I was thousands of miles
away so could no longer go over and rescue him, I
recommended Mac to him, and he's been happy and
productive with it ever since. Use the OS that suits
you best. Obviously it's not Linux (rhymes with Linus).

If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. The last six Linux
installs I've done were without 'resorting to command line'.

Not telling you that you HAVE to do a ****ed thing - you have a choice!
Long live choice! Long live Open Source! Long live Linux!

Yeah, I actually DRIVE the car, and get places, and meet girls

I dont sit at home and try to take apart the freakin engine, and
modify the cylinder heads

ok, linux (rhymes with linsucks) is that better?

we will soon take over this world you boomers, so take your command
line, and telnet
and go die somewhere

we will be using voice recognition, and then thought recognition,
while you are telnetting your way into the 1970's

GUI is easy to use, just point and click, but what if you want another program
to process the data you got from another program and then let a third program
to generate a nice report, can you do that with just one mouse click?
In best case scenario you can configure the programs to call each other, but
don't count on it.
If you use command line, there is no such problems, no need for special
configurations and it always works.

Unix like operating system does support both a powerful command line option
and a GUI for those who hardly know how to operate a mouse.

Then he is a lot smarter than you, sadly you didn't inherit his gen pool.

With your dyslexia you never end up at the right place while you are out
driving, maybe it's better you give up the car, it's too advanced for you.

we? The number of none-Unix desktops is decreasing, so I think you are loosing.

Voice recognition works fine in the Unix world, have myself used it quite many
times.


Instead of whining how much you suck, maybe it's better you use that virus
infested operating system with built in spyware from a company that didn't
manage to develop their own operating system, but had to buy one each time
they released a new one.

OK. I'll bite:

"Vista" is a "skin" for the previous version of Windows ("XP"). Microsoft
were unable to actually write anything new, and had to resort to using much
of their previous code, adding some new pseudo-security nonsense and some
desktop eye-candy, and spending /most/ of their budget on advertising.

As all the competent programmers left MS years ago (the current bunch of
Microserfs believe that Visual Basic is a /programming/ language!), there
was nobody at Redmond capable of /really/ writing anything new. All their
proud boasts of a new filing system (WinFS) and proper security were just
noise and nonsense.

MS claim that it took six years to write "Vista" - this is pure advertising
rubbish. It was thrown together in just over seven months, based on the XP
codebase. They were desperate to get /something/ into the marketplace and
this was the best they could do.

/Most/ of the development time was spent adding the DRM silliness which
makes Windows useless for multimedia applications. Vista /still/ contains
the broken TCP/IP stack stolen from BSD (an operating system related to
Linux) back in the early 90s.

> thats right, I have dyslexia, command line is not for me

No. You have stupidity and a lack of desire to bother to learn anything.
Dyslexia exists, but is /very/ much less prevalent than claimed by
ineffective "educationalists" and lazy children.

> it also an old technology. I'm from the GUI generation

No. You're from a lazy, ill-educated generation that has nothing to offer
this world.

> COMMAND LINE IS FROM THE 1960'S!!!

If you actually knew anything about Windows, you'd find that to make /any/
attempt to make it secure, you /have/ to resort to the command line. There
are many parameters unavailable even to the Windows GUI.

> we will be using voice recognition, and then thought recognition,

I've been using voice recognition since the 1970s - it's nothing new.
Windows still can't do it, though. Thought recognition is a scary notion,
but you can bet that MS certainly /won't/ lead the way with that one!

The whole internet /is/ Unix. Linux is a little Unix. Windows is an
ineffective, insecure client for a Unix world. Why do you think /none/ of
the world's largest websites (apart from MS' own ones) use Windows?

If you're happy with Windows Vista, stay with it. You're an irrelevance,
and a dwindling minority. Windows is currently about seven years behind
the current level of Linux development, and falls further behind every
month.

Sure, I've been to Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,

The only M$ product I ever owned was MSDOS 5.0, and
that was for less than a year before I switched to
DR-DOS.
Needless to say, I've never seen this BSOD thing you

I don't even waste my time with n00b trolls such as he. He's too stupid

He's a worm, to be ground underfoot and then forgotten.

HA!

Here's some fun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernal

The KERNAL was known as kernel inside of Commodore since the PET days,
but in 1980 Robert Russell misspelled the word in his notebooks
forming the word kernal. When Commodore technical writers Neil Harris
and Andy Finkel collected Russell's notes and used them as the basis
for the VIC-20 programmer's manual, the misspelling followed them
along and stuck.

According to early Commodore 'myth' and reported by writer/programmer
Jim Butterfield among others, the word KERNAL is an acronym (or maybe
more likely, a backronym) standing for Keyboard Entry Read, Network,
And Link, which in fact makes good sense considering its role.
Berkeley Softworks later used it when naming the core routines of its
GUI OS for 8-bit home computers: the GEOS KERNAL.

Thought recognition would require you to actually have any thought. So far, all
you have demonstrated is the absence of any thought, much less any intelligent
thought.

Now get lost, troll.

And here ladies and gentleman is the exact reason why Microsoft is the

Thank the lord for this sort of fcukwit. He's just proven to me that I
made the right choice in installing Linux.

Not necessarily. The Command line is the fastest way to get it done if
you know the command, and often if you do not.

Also the command line allows the use of all the switches, some which are
often missing in the GUI.
