I'm not sure I ever asked that question...but like other small minded people you just made assumptions.

I was asking one user of one operating system his opinions about the benefits of one operating system over another.

If you would like me to spell this out in Macaroni Pasta Letters I can have my attorney do it for you. I dont have the time to waste it on inconseqeuential stalkers.

:thumbsup

Dont fuck with the fucker .........MrThumbs at least turn on your light..............LOL

Well I leased him that 15" for $45.00/month so he is happy:Graucho

I couldnt tell because that high quality, high resolution digital camera was making it difficult to see.

You know, they've made new digital cameras since 1996.

Actually no we are talking everyday use.

KDE, Star Office, Gimp, and you name it ... Freebsd does a much better job handling the math processes and multi processing going on in large spread sheets and such.

But since you mention hosting yes it rocks there too. :thumbsup

Is that your wallet on the desk or did Jerry Seinfeld lose his "Man's Carry All"?

We got a real fancy lad here folks.

What... dumpster diving isn't l33t anymore? =/

And I think it's a webcam.

No worries, newbie, I am not stalking you at all. If you are Canadian, I should remind you we don't have attorney's here, we have lawyers, both of which I KNOW you can't afford. Now go read Plesk for Dummies. :thumbsup

aww somebody got mad. did poopy get poop in his underpants?

The very first sign of someone who is NOT A PLAYER is someone who brags about their wealth. Everybody knows that you fucking clown.

hmm 50?

Mad? Hell no! :1orglaugh
Just laughing at your feigned intelligence! Please, don't stop! :thumbsup
Oh, JoeE always brags about being a multi-millionaire. I suppose he isn't a player, huh? :Graucho

I think the main reason I don't go for *nix is because I'm lured in by all the coolie apps that Windows has. No matter what I want to do, windows has it - somewhere. Because the user/developer base is so much larger (Because thats where the money/consumers are).

I think if *nix had dreamweaver, flash, photoshop & some way to conduct secure IM's (via icq, aim etc) to windows machines, It would be hard to keep me away.

The rest of the stuff I use are pretty common utilities that Xwindows undoubtedly would have replacements for. Ahh the replacements.. thats the other downside to *nix... theres far less choices for the replacement apps.

Another cool thing about *nix is you have FULL CONTROL over whats going in and out of your network. You could argue that you do with windows too, but only if you had a linux router setup as a gateway :1orglaugh -- windows and 99% of it's apps are closed source, many of them like to 'phone home' for one reason or another.

I mean it all boils down to applications VS privacy/security. With windows you'll have applications galore, but you'll sacrifice your privacy and security. With *nix, you might have to give up luxury versions of various applications or tools, but you'll gain a lot of cool apps and tools as well.

But I aim to switch sooooooooon.

Speaking of "switching"... Apple is also a viable option.. its sort of a little of both. You have the closed source Apple OS stuff (which gives you alot of the cool apps you would lose with PURE *nix -- like adobe/macromedia stuff), then you can run all of the Xwindows and unix stuff as well.. because its built on *bsd anyway. With OSX you can drop to shell and do just about everything you could on a linux or freebsd box.

If your anti-microsoft for some reason but don't want to give up your design apps, go Apple. If your hardcore.. pure *nix (linux, bsd, solaris) is the way :thumbsup

The very first sign of someone who is NOT A PLAYER is someone who brags about their wealth. Everybody knows that you fucking clown. Im not talking about someone else...Im talking about you. Stop trying to deflect from the fact that youve painted yourself into a corner.

Whatever, you've chased me around for about 6 threads trying to insult me. Something tells me you are either saddled with a mild case of OCD or you have some other psychological problem. If I'm such a newbie, and youre trying to make a big point about how un-important I am, why do you keep following me and posting responses to everything I say?

You are weak. you cant come up with new material. you keep going back to that plesk joke which by this time has lost all impact. Do you know what real one liners and web confrontations are about? Check this thread. See Mr.Thumbs? He's coming up with NEW material each time he throws something at me. i can respect that and im trying to do the same back. You on the other hand are a child who has tried to chase me around here. You are either very obsessed or love me very much.

Hmm maybe I'm delirious here.. but wasn't this post #49?
:1orglaugh

It's a webcam you moron. Is it really all that hard? :1orglaugh

yeah dude.. and i STILL appreciate that sweat deal :thumbsup

Bottom line, champ. I make much more money then you do. I have nicer possesions then you do. I am far more intelligent then you are. I am far better looking then you are. I am far more successful in life, and in the adult internet then you will ever hope to be. I fuck nicer looking women then you do. I eat better food then you. I drive nicer vehicles then you do. I eat at better restaraunts then you do......
Really, your posts amuse me, they entertain me. You are very predictable, unimaginative. I think talking to you in person would take me all of 2 mintues to make you cry like a little girl. Now go back to your never never land, ask more newbie questions. And work harder to prove you are a somebody, not a little man who hurls juvenile insults at people who take you as seriously as I do. :)

You are throwing stuff back at me?

Stuff about my '15 inch monitor' and my ' digital camera'
is, beside incorrect, pretty useless and off topic discussion
material.

Mr p00p's last post describes it all and i totally agree :thumbsup

Hrm... how do you know? Maybe MrPOpup is crazy rich from a relative or something & just dabbles in porn so he can feel like he could have possibly earned that money on his own.

Irregardless of how rich he is or isn't, I don't see what good it does you to ramble all this off.


Bottom line, unless this is you:

Then you could be wrong. (And if it IS you, then you are wrong.. cause that guy isnt 'far better looking' than anyone) :winkwink:

But comments about my bank account and wealth are?

Dude...I started the thread to discuss technology. A couple of losers come in here and want to dis me thats fine but just proves that you aint here to discuss business and would rather brag about your dick size.

I'm not the one who veered down the lame path of wealth and bank accounts like so many immature business people often do.

- WinXP has been a hell lot more stable than RedHat 8.0 for me

- Programs for Linux are more likely to be poorly written.

- IE is the application i use the most often and it is the fastest browser out there.

- I like using WinXP but programming for Unix platform, which does not neccesarily require me to install it on my home PC.

- WinXP can be as free as Linux ;)

- WinXP boots in 30 seconds exactly. Linux takes forever.

- WinXP is easier to use, yet it provides many advanced features.

i can list many other reasons to show why i dont have the slightest consideration to move to Linux on my home PC. I've tried it several times, always disappointment.

cheers

How big is your dick too?

I love Linux and have a seperate linux workstation, but the one thing that I really love is Photoshop and Premiere.

If Adobe ported those programs I would seriously consider droppping windows completely.

Your reply to my first, on topic post:

"I guess we wont have to worry mr.thumbs in the future. He's already resigned to fail. Sink or swim friend...sink or swim"

You kid, are an idiot.

I guess you arent good at reading.

How is that off topic?

Adapt to new technology or get out of the way.

Should I spell it in "Crackwhorian" so you can understand?

i had to translate FROM Crackwhorian to understand your crap
in the first place. So dont bother. :thumbsup

You had to translate? Wait a minute....I didnt know Sally Struthers Matchbook School of Learning taught that.

Hmmm I dunno... I'll argue them all just to argue I guess.



1. - WinXP has been a hell lot more stable than RedHat 8.0 for me

>> Try FreeBSD or OpenBSD, or good RHL cbt from Learnkey or something.

2. - Programs for Linux are more likely to be poorly written.

>> I'm not allowed to use enough of these --> :1orglaugh. Lets just say, at least in the unix world there is a thing called full disclosure & problems are usually addressed within HOURS instead of MONTHS, or worse - covered up indefinitely.


3. - IE is the application i use the most often and it is the fastest browser out there.

>> Total shortage of 1:orglaugh's here.


4. - I like using WinXP but programming for Unix platform, which does not neccesarily require me to install it on my home PC.

>> I'm not quite sure what your saying here. I think your saying you like to code (php, perl, C, etc) on windows even though your programming will ultimately reside on the unix box? Seems to me like it would be better to program (and test locally, in real-time) on the unix box no? Like you would have apache on the same local box to test php/perl stuff etc instead of having to upload changes. Unix makes for much faster real-world development (unless your running Windows as a server)

5. - WinXP can be as free as Linux ;)

>> LOL... uh, then your WinXP (and everything else no doubt) is about as insecure as it gets. EULA's don't apply to people who didn't purchase the software.

6. - WinXP boots in 30 seconds exactly. Linux takes forever.

>> Not only is your WinXP box slow, but something is wrong with your linux install as well. My *nix boots up so fast its silly (Barring fsck's anyway)


7. - WinXP is easier to use, yet it provides many advanced features.

>> I spose I'll give it easier to use (for the average computer user).. and that it has more applications.. much more, and through the evolution of these applications, SOME applications or functions are more advanced.

But when it comes to networking and security, *nix has windows beat hands down. And with as much as people use computers for these days, security & privacy shouldn't be taken lightly.

I'm sure more than 25% of the people on GFY, and around the globe, have unknown/unwanted visitors on their computers.

Sally Struthers is teaching again? Nice...I can finally stop taking these courses from Gary Coleman. :thumbsup

Thumbs! How you been bro? I haven't talked to you in forever.
