So, you hate windows because you can't use it? Makes sense, really, Windows isn't really such a good OS for newbies, it has great deal of stuff to learn which most people are unwilling to figure out. Everyone just wants it to work out of the box.

Computers are tools, and you don't hear anyone ranting this kind of crap in other technical fields. "Oh man, my hammer sucks because the nails are getting all bent", get the point? In simpler technical fields, people are more willing to acknowledge that they just can't use the tools when they get bad results. With computers it's all upside down, people thinking they know more than they do, and are blaming the system. Stop being so full of yourself and admit that your computer skills suck, that's a good start. Then you can start trying to figure out how to solve your problems, or just use some easier operating system such as linux.

Linux isn't easier... I don't think people enjoy typing mount /dev/hda or writing shell scripts to get shit working how they want. :tux:

Only the "hard" distributions need you to do that these days...

 I don't consider it "hard" when it does what I tell it to do when I tell it to do it, rather than asking fourty-two million times whether I'm sure; but then, that's my personal viewpoint.  ;)

Or, you can make a link on the KDE desktop that will automount on double click.

It's Linux, you can make your distribution as easy as you want.

Constant need of update? Erm. You have that with Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and everything else nearly. Unless your a moron and want your system to get owned anyway.

 Perhaps he should've said "daily requirement"?

Well, when I was using Slackware, I didn't need to update the system at all. :(

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.
