Nope, you are the dope.

At least you got your signature sorted, now all you need to do is to 
actually start posting from Linux ;-)

What a Pultz!

It it ain't FREE then Moi is NOT interested in it.

FREE means Linux. 

Linux Mint works great and is very reliable for surfing the Web and posting to these stupid ngs.

What is your problem, Rabbit?  Don't you know that Trix is for Kids?

Try eating Linux for free......

Yup, just as I thought, you are too dumb to install a real newsreader in 
Linux so you've just got a web browser. Big deal.

Come back and talk about and advocate Linux when you are actually using 
it for real work and not just playing.

No problem now this Sheriff has got you to sort your signature out ;-)

P.S. If you don't like the newsgroups why do you stay? Too stupid to 
figure out how to unsubscribe?

You people can't be this stupid.

You snip the part where he shows that he's using R, then post crap about
"duhuh, liboffice!"

There's a reason you people are in readers' killfiles, you know.

Other than the ugly, 4th-grader looks and spelling, what was the 
evidence his 'graph' was produced using GuhNoo-licensed R crapware?

'Cause it sure wasn't produced using the "data" I gave him (which shows 
Windows to Linux at 90:1).

Because you silly lamers can't stand to hear the truth about your shitty 
"operating system".

Probably the "R" (note it's uppercase!). LOL!

Looks like he could use a dose of:

https://plot.ly/r/

If you're into such things, that's actually a pretty cool site if you look around and play with the examples.

What R?  All I see is a plain pie chart and a misspelled header ("Teh 
Doze and friends")

edit: I went back up the thread.  Because of the brackets, his R code 
looked like a thread quote and I ignored it.

ugh.  I figured it was some kind of command-line crapware.

Those two are particularly hilarious. The worst part is that they should 
be relatively easy to fix, but the problem doesn't necessarily appear on 
all configurations of Linux. It might affect a guy running an AMD card 
and not an NVIDIA one. It might only cause problems if you use the 
open-source driver and not the proprietary one. Moreover, it might also 
be caused by the fact that you used a touchscreen rather than a 
traditional monitor. As a result, these problems are essentially never 
fixed after a reasonable amount of time and tend to drag along for years 
or decades until they are COINCIDENTALLY fixed or patched by, get this, 
a _proprietary_ body. NVIDIA, yes NVIDIA, had to fix issues with the 
shitty Nouveau driver.

I can tell...

If what you showed is any indication, it's another user-unfriendly, 
command-line GuhNoo dud.

Here's something to make it more fun:

Learn SAS and earn cash.  Learn R get job in bar.

Dood, how much effort do you expect me to put into a cola joke?
Linux, Doze, and Mack walk into a bar [five pages later... punch line]?

I actually pasted the code from a different job.
The cols line for the chart I posted was actually:
cols<-c("gray50","gray60","pink","gray20")

You don't know me very well if you think I would want to crunch numbers
for a living.

Mack and Doze hookup with honeys.  Linux is punched out for wearing a 
geeky GNU-head t-shirt.

I don't know you very well because you're tight-lipped about everything: 
what you do for a living, where you live, what you drive, etc.  I know 
you have an F1 race-car bed with gold and red stripes.

I saw one online a while ago:  Three [whatevers] walk into a bar.
THe bartender says, "what is this, a joke?"

Another fave:  "A dyslexic walks into a bra..."
