Ermm the windows trolls like Creed who couldn't even be bothered installing Linux maybe?, also putting in a dig as you say about someone else no matter how funny the dig may be at the subliminal level of a lesser amobea just proves that either he is insecure about his own skills and is trying to transfer them onto me (Freud called this the lesser Techie complex) or he is just a fule.

And for all I know, you could agree with me. You never seem to answer my questions though.

I'm not sure I disagree with you if that's what you mean?

Now, tell me how he has lambasted you. He seems to only ask for information (and put a dig in about your use of Windows ME).

Well maybe you and me define lambaste differently, without getting into an etymological argument , I think I may be vindicated in it's use but, whatever.

Also seeing as how I warezd 2k this argument is a bit ludicrous don't you think , haha. ps 2k sux.

What's your problems with the OS's? If you ask for help, we might be able to help you.

Sure JustHalf, help me write a kernel which will supplant existing 9x kernels, and use it's reams of drivers but be as stable as Linux, or better yet help me get rid of this scourge on humanity,.... please, huh?

Also I can't believe you , who proports to use FreeBSD, which everyone who is not a bill_slave recognises is the world's best OS ever can possibly defend windows, when windows sucks so much. Where is the logic, dancing here? with Zephran Cochran? Tell me do you enjoy m$ asking you to pay £500 quid for their bloatware C++ compiler, or £800 for VB 6 minus the helpfiles? Wow what about if we contrast this to FreeBSD, how many compilers/intrepreters come with it 40? 50? 100?

Whats the stack boundary on an integer in your standard windows app 18 bytes 24 bytes and in BSD 12 bytes or 4 if we use -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2?

Or compile this in Vc 6
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc,char**argv)
{printf("Windowz sux\n");
return 0;};

what is this compiled 28k?
what about if we compile it on the command line in gcc?
So if we establish that windows takes up more space on a hard disk, uses more resources, does less, and is less stable than say Slackware 8.0 running 2.4.5 how in any way shape or form is windows anything other then crap forced down peoples throats, because most of us had no choice when buying our first pc's?

Bah but if you people are too insecure to go messing around with your partitions or you are afraid you might break your puter putting on *nix, then I may be presuaded to do an install for a nominal fee. How bout it Creed , JustHalf , need me to install it for you? I mean it's not like you'd be one of those muppets that call Tech Support seeing as how I'm not a Tech anymore, is it?

You now insult Creed, calling him a "lesser amoeba" -- and accuse him of being a troll.

Creed, who isn't bothered installing Linux because he doesn't see a reason to. He asked for one. You haven't supplied him with one.

You have a habit of making no sense. Your sentences are incoherent, the few of your statements that are coherent are from a completely untenable position, and when we do attack the flaws in your arguments you just ignore us and spout more trash about how Windows sucks.

Sorry Typedef, I use the English definition of the word; ie, the correct one. Where's Creeds anger?

I think this argument is ludicrous because you have a disturbing tendency to ignore all the flaws in your arguments. You don't answer questions when asked.

Why should I?

Your point?

Yes, because a regular person gives a damn about this, and looks for this on the side of the box of the OS. What's your point?

Once again, your point? You're spouting more nonsense without actually backing up any of your earlier points.

Mmh, lets insult people. You seem to be getting enjoyment out of it.

Typedef, you continually insult Windows without showing that Unix is any different; and when we point out flaws in Unix, at best you don't respond directly; at worst you attack us instead of our arguments... don't be an idiot. Back up your statements. Lets have a reasonable discussion about this.

Typedef, you are realy going to get far with an attitude like that....

This thread is hilarious. Typedef, a few points. Many people have arrived at a stage where they use more than one operating system, each for its own particular strong points. And so they don't continually harp on about how one or the other is the greatest thing since since sliced bread.

Yes, windows is bloated. But it still does some things better than unix, and with considerably more ease of use. The average user does not want a command line interface, they want a user friendly GUI, something which unix doesn't do nearly as well as it does on other stuff. So for example, can you run down how to get opengl and direct3d working on freebsd?

Also, you have a very narrow minded view of windows. I use it for programming, but I didn't pay microsoft a cent for this. I use gcc and activestate perl, both of which are free of charge. You are wasting your time, typing nonsense.

Also, will you come over and install slackware 2.4.5 on my machine? Like I can install freebsd ok, but I think I need some extra skillz to install slackware. I can't afford to pay you, but I'm sure you won't mind, as I was about to splash out on xp pro before you so eloquently explained how great slackware is.

Typedef

Umm yess thats it, yess, ok, if you are having problems with slack I guess I could stretch to giving you a dig out.

JustHalf
Your point? It eludes me, I'm sure the argument is clear in your own head but, putting thoughts to keyboard may not be your fortE, heres a suggestion,
write down what you mean to say, and then post it. maybe that will help?

yawn.

come up with an agrument that entails more than a two line response to something someone else has said.
Also what are you getting so upset about, just because you think bill gates is a stud is nothing to do with me, hey that's your business not mine, ta ta.
