The one time I saw Linux on the laptop, the guy plugged in his USB mouse and

Hmm. I plug in a USB mouse - it works. I attach a printer, Ubuntu already

has the drivers in it.

I plug in anything USB - Ubuntu just sees it, unlike windows which "installs

device drivers" - even for a USB memory stick! How STUPID is that?

 

How long ago was this? Ten years?

Ubuntu sales 'n downloads don't even compare to Windows 7's pre-order. On

the desktop, Linux doesn't exist - to all intents and purposes it simply is

not there. In a defacto sense, no one uses it. No one. Sure there's the odd

guy in Spain, or cop station in Belgium where Ubuntu or some other Linux

distro is found on desktops, but in the scheme of things it registers zero

on the Richter scale i.e. it counts for naught, nada, nothing. No one uses

it. The granola crunching, the politically correct and rainbow coalition

types, once so interested in it back in the 90s , who went on and on and on

about open sores, soon found out that they had no idea how to use Linux,

that it was difficult and unusable on the desktop as a general purpose

operating and it made them look like useless t^its when they went to use a

computer .. have long moved on to being ripped off by Apples Corp. Alias,

long out of the loop, hating the U.S. and living on a beach of Spain,

reminds me of .. of OS/2 Warp .. or of Be OS .. you know, still living in

the 90s and dreaming of some 60s commie paradise. For all I know he's on

drugs, if his posts are any indication.

No, the one and only time I've seen Linux on a laptop was two summers ago

while out doing a bit of research at a specialized library. It was about ten

years before that since I've last seen a desktop with Linux on it other than

the experimental / curiosity installs I've done on my own. I know it (Linux)

is still used as a web and file server, but apparently even in that field

better operating systems are gaining market share, replacing UNIX and UNIX

clone servers.

I answered your question (3) times. I'm sorry you couldn't understand it.

Oh well, that's just a cross I will have to bear!

Did I actually rubbish it? I merely pointed out that compared to the MS

market, it will only be a minuscule competitor. Fact. Now I find that

funny, hilarious in fact. Is that so difficult to understand?

 

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings you should not get emotionally attached to

an inferior OS.

True, and good luck to them I say, although a rare breed.

Don't need to shut up, not a requirement.

 

I think it's very reasonable to find Linux, Oops sorry, Ubuntu, funny,

hilarious, amusing, ironic, strange because of its rarity.

 

Just because you do not like the answer, does not make it any less truer

 

As for growing up, Ditto. Stop throwing your toys out of your pram just

because you do not like a straightforward answer.

Then you must ask yourself the question. If it's that great, why does it

not sell better than MS software?

You might be forgetting that little town in Spain where Alias claims that everyone who needs

computer work comes to Alias asking that Windows be wiped clean and Ubuntu installed. Must be

the only town on the planet where every citizen knows about Ubuntu and Alias is the Ubuntu GOD

who answers everyones prayers.

 

Alias must smoke so much Hash that he actually believes all the lies he tells.

 

Alias must spend some of that imaginary $14k a week he claims to get from the tooth fairy on drugs.

And I'm sure they will have their fair share of the playground, but they

will never have a share of the country estate. MS software, have got it all

sewn up where it matters.

> New to Usenet?

 

I'll answer that the way you answer a question. It depends what you mean by

new. Does this mean relatively speaking? Does this mean metaphorically

speaking? Does this mean compared to you, relatively? Does this mean what

you to imagine to be new? You need to be more specific.

 

You see, it can be quite frustrating when a simple question is dodged, which

may I remind you, you still have not answered.

Yeah, must be lost in translation, though. That little Spanish town is where

the townspeople think "Ubuntu" is the the Yankee term for crack-coc^ain.

 

So that $14k might not be so imaginary - there's a lot of money in drugs.

You know the drill he probably's got going there: young Americans visiting

Europa need a connection - Alias to the rescue - cover story: "computer

work". Sets 'em up with everything they need for their trip to Spain .. or

should I say Spain trip? Every deal comes with a free Ubuntu CD. Stick it to

the man he says. He keeps the woman's so stoned she thinks he's real smart -

a regular computer genius - and on Mescaline Day she's sure he's computing's

God - "Did I do good, baby?" she asks him. She's never figured out Ubuntu

herself, so Alias *must* be a genius. The townspeople tell each other that

he sells "Ubuntu", the town's part-time cop is paid off - everyone is either

stoned or happy. And Alias trolls the Windows newsgroup during off hours ..

that is: when he's not dealing or when he's not twinkle-toeing his end of

the sandy beach blasted on crystal meth.

 

BTW, Alias is convinced U b u n t u must have a secret mystical meaning.

On Mescaline Day, his wife knows it does.

And how can you tell? There's no activation, one disk can install on as many

computers as anyone likes. It's free. You can copy the CD as much as you

like and give it to as many people as you like.

THERE ARE NO RECORDS!!!!

 

So how can you make such an ignorant assumption?

One has to wonder why MS is training their own and Best Buy employees

to trash Linux as part of their sales presentations then. Seems like

MS gives the Linux threat a lot more weight than you do.

That's not your wife, sparky, it's your Mom. Just because she lets you

live in the house as an adult and still does your laundry, cooks your

meals, and shops for your clothes, doesn't change the fact that she's

still your Mom.

 

As for getting laid - you're a weasely little wimp who acts like he's

still in Jr High. You wouldn't have the nerve to start a conversation

with a woman, let alone ask one out. You'll be lucky to get a hand job

before you die.
