Muzzy-what is your point?

Quote from: muzzy
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.

I don't think Bulgarian Jacko is full of himself. Don't tell me you're a closet Linux-loving activist like our popular jerk Cuntaro?
His question was:Why do people hate MS. Not-why do people love Linux?
0k-you might spend your days in your bedroom or toolshed (there's no light in Finland) with a torch fiddling around with your beloved Linux.
But some of us don't know or want to know about Linux. We use MS-mainly because we haven't got yours or Cuntaro's technical wizadry.
Stick to the point or muzzy-le your big mouth.

You mean Muzzy,Cuntaro or mine?
Sorry man-if you mean me...check out the first amendment.
I'll say what I bloody well like.
I am here because I hate MS-like Bulgarian Jacko.
The site is called Microsuck.com - remember?
Not Linuxlovers.com.
 
I repeat I joined to hear why MS stinks-not why I should go out and fork out money for Linux. OK-I respect people's viewpoints on Linux. Maybe you're right. Linux is a much better OS that Microsuck.
But the thread Bulgarian Jacko asked is - repeat:Why do you hate Mocrosoft?
 
Seems a reasonable question to a newbie like me.
 
I thought his explanations were excellent. I have exactly the same issues with Microsoft as he does. Either,reminding me of their updates, sending me error reports which they can't explain (yet suggest you use their SP1 and 2 packs-which might  just help to get rid of the error/s which they can't explain!)
 
These are the real issues. Not how great Linux is-and what morons we are for not using it.
 
I am a non-techie. I have an aging second-hand laptop. That's all I can afford. I haven't got the money to build up Linux-like you computer nerds.
 
I want to know how to sort MS? Not how to create Linux.
 
So do Bulgarian Jacko who is a newbie like myself a favour -and answer the q:cool: uestion he posed.
Don't use his thread to Linuxturbate.

You Sir, are a fucktard.

If you cared to read around this forum you would know that muzzy is not a Linux supporter. He is one of the few Windows guys left here.
What he meant by his previous post was that if you hate Microsoft you are probably too stupid to use their products. Muzzy believes that Windows is more powerful than Linux and that this can make it less straightforward to computer noobs.
Contains scenes of mild peril.

RougeB - Well, if you don't know what you're talking about, shut up and listen to what other people have to say.

i have several machines. when my new cpu arrives, i will have xp 64 for gaming, linux on another machine for web developing, a linux machine under the tv downstairs and a win 95 486 machine for testing a massive LED sign i will be building. needs a pc to control it it is that complex. i use whatever is best for the job, or whatever only just does it, depending on hardware restrictions.
Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

There are alot of at least what I'd describe as "Windows guys" here (users. Supporters.).

Like who?
Shout now if you use Windows often (i.e., more than anything else) on your own computer.

But then, it depends on what you meant by "Windows guys".[/OFFTOPIC]

Just FYI, this is a privately-owned forum. Your "first amendment rights" extend only as far as the rules allow.

Nearly all of us here hate MS, bud. Don't act like you're special. Several people have made really damn good points... if you'd actually read a little, you'd know that the majority of the people here ALSO SUPPORT LINUX. I'm a Linux and Mac fan myself. We all want to see our favorite win. For most people here, they want Windows to go away, and Linux to replace it. Get over it.

Fork over money? It's free.

http://linuxiso.org/

Go there, and download until your face blows up.

Then respond to that already and stop fussing with people. Remember... this site is to TALK ABOUT WHY MS SUCKS... not to accost people for talking about things.

Also, why do you find it necessary to constantly press the issue of where people are from? There's nothing inherently wrong about it... just... why?

To someone, though, it is the issue. It's not your place to tell them they're wrong for talking about it.

I'm a poor-ass college kid. I have an aging P3 633, and a Power Mac. It's all I can afford. I can run Mac OS X Tiger, and the newest Linux distros with no problems.

Oh yeah, and once again. Linux is freaking free.

Do us all a favor and don't be so damn standoffish. Just because somebody says something, doesn't mean you HAVE to berate them for it. Quite the contrary... just freaking forget about it.

Oh, and his name is Jack2000, not "Bulgarian Jacko".

Have a great farking day.
