That's because you're smart.

Since when?  You're out of your gourd.

I think I understand the cognitive distortion you suffer from -- because 
you _only_ interact with me on the USENET, that means you think this is 
the only thing I do.  Which is ridiculous.

But you already know that -- you just like to lie, don't you?  Get your 
jollies from being a psychopath, eh?

not only should you be nominated for KOTM, but I think Coward of the

Assuming I could find a phone book in this day and age, yes, I could tear 
one in half.  Because I have the knowledge to do it.

What do you have?  Two auk award nominations and a promise to rain holy 
fire onto a free newsserver.

I should video myself doing it just to show you how much of a moron you 
are -- both about your stupid cracks about my fitness, as well as my 
ability to out-run, out-gun, and out-think the likes of your sorry 
trolling ass.

Has it occurred to you yet just how much of a clown you've turned out to 
be?

You _will_ care when unsavory types -- who aren't as nice as I've been -- 
take exception to you trying to pollute their news servers.

In short:  You just aren't very smart about how the world works, are you 
Andrea?

And of course you had to make an excuse to explain why you are on your
knees once again Little Beaver.

My faith in you becoming a man is waning.

Now I know you are a Linux freak.
They always have these fantasies about women they can't have.

I'm speaking of Chris Ahlstrom just in case you don't know. His father
gave him the CB handle "Little Beaver".
It's no wonder he offers to wipe other men's penis.

I hear ya. Rarely ever come in here, but with so many invites I was a
little curious about the clown show. Lot's of cross-posting recently.
Obviously the little men wanted some attention. Must suck sitting on

I've dealt with a couple of cases of that, on Windows 7 and XP.
My god, what a pain in the ass!

I haven't had those kinds of issues on Linux, whether with Gentoo, Fedora,
Debian, or CentOS.  All these systems have been very reliable, very
functional, and a pleasure to use.

Does "Linux" have issues?  Of course!  Computers with loads of software are
complex systems.  Linux systems can have as many issues as Windows systems,
just different ones.  However, one would expect Windows to be *better*.
After all, each hardware vendor works hard to make sure their hardware
works with Windows.  A massive "market" concentrates on getting their
software to work well with Windows.  And yet Linux, supposedly the product
of "amateurs" and "hobbyists", competes quite well with Windows, and beats
it in some areas.

What a tragedy it would be, if there were no viable alternative to
what is offered by the scumbags in Redmond and Cuppertino.

I mean, their products can generally get the job done, with enough
effort, but they are far from optimal for many situations.

The GNU/Linux ecosystem, I think, offers the ideal balance of
standardization and chaos.  Damn near anyone, from novice to kernel
hacker, can be accommodated with a close-to-optimal solution.

doesn't-mean-it's-better reasons why Windows still dominates the
desktop, here.)

Idiot.  Did you buy the "optimal" car and the "optimal" refrigerator and 
the "optimal" toothbrush?

Of course not.

Funny how 90% of the tens of millions of desktop Linux users find a 
"close-to-optimal" solution in one of just 6 different distros.

Smart people (not you) know that if Windows gets to a blue screen, it is 
either the result of a driver conflict (rare) or faulty memory (common). 
In NO case is it a Windows issue. However, only the people with 
experience (like me) know this and a QR code is essentially a good idea 
for those unacquainted with such problems.

Here you are basically insulting Microsoft for doing something 
honourable and quite intelligent. It's clearly best, in your mind, to 
make sure that problems are constant (like in Linux) and that their 
resolutions are as cryptic as possible (like in Linux). How can an 
operating system POSSIBLY be any good unless users are continuously 
faced with horrendous issues (like in Linux) with no hope of ever fixing 
those issues (like in Linux)?

Jobsworth network admins (And unscrupulous IT companies) love things 
that make them look important and clever. A number of times I've come 
across users saying "That was a really hard problem to fix, it took Joe 
hours" and when you actually get down to it, it's a really simple 
problem but Joe wants to keep his job or make a bit of extra cash out of 
the customer so he makes it look as hard as possible and the poor user 
doesn't know any better.
