Another BETTER Ultimate on the block!

August 31, 200717 yr

People who run Ubuntu shouldn't be in these forums in the first place. They

need to find advocacy forums. My hunch is that Alias knows so little about

Linux that he'll probably get pwned in the Linux news groups. Using another

alias, he perhaps asks like a noob- How do I get my wireless to work.

We have a term for such persons in the English language- Losers. They are

not good at anything. Anything.

Your hunch is wrong. I use the same nick on the Ubuntu group.

A grammatically incorrect way of acknowledging (facetiously)

Used very commonly by gangsta-wannabes and other sorts of

"Jared! Did you drop the baby?"

"Oh. Ha. My bad!"

"WHAT THE F?!?!"

Incredibly annoying phrase which people use when they do

something stupid or wrong

Kim: You just pulled my ex boyfriend

Lucie: My bad

A hipster way of admitting a mistake that sounds

like a two year old who pooped his pants.

Considering that I also said I would include the caveat, the meaning I

meant was "My mistake and I won't do it again".

Of course, the fact that you're semantically nit picking in a lame

attempt to discredit me reveals more about you than me.

Obviously you are replying to Stephan but talking to someone else,

Why do you always react with accusations of "Hate" like some mardy child

who just had his ball stolen. Pathetic and childish, both. You have no

logical argument, only accusations that at least in my case are nothing

more than lies.

You claim it has never affected you so why would "You" feel accused of

theft? Please make up your mind whether you have the experience to argue

this point or not, you say you haven't but then argue anyway.

At one time I would have agreed but ATI got their game together when they

released the Catalyst drivers. Even before that, when the Radeon cards were

first introduced I think their drivers were pretty solid.

With Vista systems, I think that it is nVidia that is having the driver

problems more so than ATI.

What? Windows Update downloads and installs all updates in minutes not

hours. I remember a download of updates for a RedHat system: just under 400

MB of updates. And to top it off the updater would fail. What a mess.

I have issues with the various Microsoft schemes, but only to some extent,

as some scheme is probably necessary. However, the reason Windows is so

pirated is because people want it. Linux can be priced at zero cents yet

they cannot give it away.

Well, there are cheap new computers to be had .. only the specs are a bit

low, comparatively. Here in Ottawa we can get cheap computers w/o operating

systems so it is just a matter of slapping on whatever I want.

12,000 users, considering how many there are, is insignificant in the

Even MS said that one is too much (Did you miss that?). I guess even MS

has more compassion than you do. The 12,000 affected users don't share

your opinion that they are "insignificant".

Note, this happened on a Friday evening when most businesses are closed.

Had this happened on a Tuesday, that number would be much higher.

AND, it begs the question as to when the next snafu will happen. This is

the second time in less than a year.

No, you're telling lies, you keep preaching how Ubuntu is what people

need and that it's better than Windows, but you keep using Windows....

You're exposed and a liar - If you're going to keep Windows, supporting

Microsoft, for any reason, then you don't need Ubuntu - Windows does all

that Ubuntu does, so there is no reason to have Ubuntu - there is no

reason to complicate things with having TWO O/S's two sets of

applications...

You're living a lie and not being honest with people.

If you said "Ubuntu is a good platform for people that don't need

Windows, people that will never need to play Windows based games, people

that will never need to work with Microsoft based document formats other

than simple formatting, that will never need support from MOST people

they come across" then I would say, yes, Ubuntu is good for them.

Keep trying - you're the one suggesting that MS makes you feel like a

thief and pirate.... All you're doing is spreading hate that you feel.
