You are fucking nuts, buddy boy.

Claws is a fork of SYLPHEED which is, hands down, the BEST and ULITIMATE
email client anywhere.  That's ANYWHERE.

Unless Claws, which I've never used, has somehow butchered the fuck
out of sylpheed, then Claws should be the BEST and ULTIMATE.

What the fuck are you doing on this NG?  You are a clueless noobie
and your assessment of Claws proves it.

I suggest that you hang at comp.idiots.and.assholes

If you're packing a Core i9-7980XE, you have to wear looser clothes so 
as to not draw attention to it...

The issue is that back in the day, even though "486" didn't mean much to 
a person who knew nothing about computers, you knew that it was better 
than a 386 and that the clock rate of 66MHz made it at least twice as 
fast as a 33MHz one. Now, they don't even mention the clock rates much 
anymore and they are fairly meaningless even if they did. After all, 
most processors run at 2.5GHz but they might have four cores, six cores, 
eight cores or just two. They might also be different model such as an 
AMD A10 running at 2.5GHz vs. a Core i7 running at the same rate. Even 
then, one's a 6830 whereas the other is a 7820.

Without using a web site to benchmark both, would a regular person ever 
be able to figure out if he was getting a good deal?

On Microshit Winblows it hardly matters.  Microshit, and its partners,
supply binaries that are geared for a generic processor, i.e. no SIMD,
no customized cache. etc.  Any specific processor capabilities are
totally unused.

GNU/Linux, on the other hand, and especially Gentoo and its variants,
allow binaries that are finely tuned for a specific processor.  All
the power of a Core i7, for example, can be fully realized.

Most of the binaries on my GNU/Linux machine (Gentoo) could not execute
on a different processor.

What fool would ever use Microshit Winblows?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Think about the amount of monopoly abuse and extortion, not to mention
the third-world bribery, required to stay on top.  Don't forget
that Microshit HAS BEEN CONVICTED in criminal court for exactly those
activities.

There.  I fixed it again for you.

Also think about how all those hard-working Microshit execs began to
literally shit in their pants when the "hobbyists" came to town.  Their
"free lunch" was being seriously threatened.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  Asking the dumb-fuck stooge to think is like
asking a fish to pedal a bicycle.

That's nothing.  The self-proclaimed "Linux visionary" of cola - Rex 
Ballard - accused MS of:

* fraud
* extortion
* blackmail
* obstruction of justice
* bullying presidents
* making its first antitrust settlement offers to the state of New
    Mexico because Gates was arrested there for speeding
* getting Stallman kicked out of his MIT lab/office
* hiring MS-friendly people to get Linux advocates assigned to dead-end
    jobs
* deciding elections
* ordering embezzlement
* committing perjury
* using their editorial control over 3 networks to shift news coverage
    away from the MS antitrust trial
* controlling $200 billion in advertising each year
* maintaining legal control over all info on your computer
* pulling ads from mags that praise Linux or Solaris
* losing paperwork so OEMs can't get permission to install 3rd party
    software
* disabling Stacker
* threatening to expose CIOs for piracy
* disallowing OEMs to install Linux
* locking out open source apps
* causing widows and orphans to go to bed hungry
* funding the overthrow of Germany, France, almost England, USA,
    Afghanistan, Pakhistan, Iraq, and Japan.

If the hobby code wasn't shit it might be a threat.  As it is, you can't 
even give it away.

The one he uses to spank you regularly? The hobbyist stuff you claim to

What's asinine about it?

It sure seems to keep you awake at night.
