No, it is not.  FatBytestard does not enjoy a good reputation in this 
newsgroup, but he was _spot_ _on_ with everything he wrote above.  
That's how it works, but you obviously don't seem to be getting it.

I would suggest that you either further educate yourself on the innards 
of GNU/Linux, or that you simply stop making such things up and then 
selling them as truth onto people who happen to know how these things 
work.

And how exactly did you ascertain this information, oh Great One?  Did 
you do a hex dump of the swap file and find some strangeness in there 
that indicates that it was indeed touched by the Linux kernel?

I'd really like to see you talk your way out of that one.

Yes we understand when somebody says Linux fails it is always the users 
fault. Isn't that so dumber than dirt Dan?

You are a great promoter of Linux Dan. It is people like you why Linux 
isn't catching on. If we could get rid of people like you Linux would 
actually have a chance. But it is a large part because of people like 
you is why 90% of the PC market is running Windows.

It usually is.

And in this case, it was indeed the user.

I guess that must then be why Android, which is the world's best-selling 
smartphone OS, is based upon Linux.  And I guess that's why IBM 
mainframes and midrange servers are available with GNU/Linux.  I also 
guess that this is why 91% of the world's top-500 supercomputers are 
running GNU/Linux.  And I equally guess that this is why now over 4% of 
all newly sold computers come pre-installed with GNU/Linux.

Even though there is no advertising of GNU/Linux on TV or in generic 
computer magazines, and other mainstream media are for most part not 
even aware that it exists, the GNU/Linux userbase keeps on growing 
rapidly every year.  

So I guess that Steve Ballmer is just wetting his bed every night for no 
reason then, huh?  He'll be delighted to hear that.

More than 90% of the consumer-grade x86 market runs Windows for one 
reason only: because it comes pre-installed on the machine, and because 
Microsoft has a very aggressive marketing division.

     "Microsoft is like a mix between the Borg and the Ferengi.  Except
     that they let the Ferengi develop the software and the Borg do the
     marketing."

Ah... a true Linux zealot! Linux can never do anything wrong and if 
anybody believes that it can, it is always the users fault. How 
wonderful your life must be. Stay away from reality and life is just 
wonderful!

Unfortunately some of us can't live with our head in the sand and must 
deal with reality. And dealing with reality, we must also deal with the 
problems that goes along with it.

Yes, I do have an excellent life, and it is firmly grounded in reality.  
I also don't have trouble doing things with Linux, probably because my IQ 
is MUCH higher than yours appears to be.

Yeah?  Well how about you take your bullshit made up problems over to one 
of your Windoze newsgroups, and whine about how Linux sucks over there?  
I'm sure they'll all agree with you and everyone can be happy!

Or, how about you just fuck off and die, troll.  This is a Linux 
newsgroup, and it's meant for those who actually *USE* Linux.

Really? Mine is 150. The same as Albert Einstein (which by the way isn't 
really that high). And everything I have ever heard he ever said, I 
understand completely. Although I don't agree with everything he ever 
said. Like for example he said nothing can travel faster than light. But 
even Einstein knew about what he called spooky actions at a distance and 
that traveled instantaneously.

Really? First off I didn't cross post this message for starters. Nor do 
I want to be here (on the Linux side) because I know that dumbasses 
would reply. But this is reality and I must deal with it.

And if you are as smart as you claim, you missed the boat *big* time. I 
hate Microsoft for one, and I hate anybody anybody who thinks I am. And 
second of all, if you were really smart, you would know this from the 
get go. So you can't be really smart as you claim, now can you?

P.S. Once I was visiting some relative in the hospital who shared a room 
with a very old lady. I was very young back then and a grandchild or a 
nephew or something visited that older lady. What he was saying was 
really negative about the hospital, doctors, and everything. Everybody 
but me saw him as a super pain in the ass. Although I saw him 
differently and I saw him as a super smart individual. And everything he 
said I completely understood (others didn't get it).

I never interactive with him and I thought there would be a next time. 
But he never visited again while I was at the hospital. The older lady 
would apologize by saying that he is super smart and well meaning and 
all. But he rubs people the wrong way.

Now I can kick myself by not figuring out who this guy is. As he is far 
smarter than I, far smarter than Einstein. And probably living in 
seclusion somewhere. As I totally get that. As why bother?

I also hate Linux and I use that too. But you are so clueless Dan, ain't

Very rarely, by your own admission.

Dan C probably knows a lot more about IT than you do by at least three 
orders of magnitude.

I'd guess, then, that you must be completely self-taught and never
have been subjected to the rigors of the classroom, otherwise your big
old 150 IQ would possibly be able to create complete sentences from
scratch and maybe, just /maybe/, be able to master the use of the comma.

What are those, fourth or fifth grade level skills?

...and that's just in this one small sampling of your 'evidence' of a

Sheesh.

No you don't understand. Superman's weakness was kryptonite, mine is
grammar. I really excel when it comes to logically thinking, but illogic
is my weakness. As my brain can't handle seemingly logic followed by
exceptions to the rules. That just isn't logical to me.

And just look at all of the oxymorons for example. Things like you park
on a driveway and drive on a parkway. Or what about the sun rises and
the sun sets, when in fact the sun does no such thing. And you think my
mental abilities are faulty. No sir, I believe it is yours for accepting
this nonsense.

  No.  Idiots park on their driveway.

  The "driveway" was to get you to the garage.

  Once folks began parking on it...  nothing changed (except for some oil
stains)...  until you came along and thought the two sets of words were
"weird" (you and a bunch of others).

  The term "Parkway" is because you drive on the "way", and the way is
usually constructed next to a "park".  That way, the state owns all the
real estate around the highway, and when they want to expand, they can.

  SO neither is an oxymoron when one considers the actual derivatives.

Really? Everybody parks in my driveway. I bet if you showed up you would

Yes I too have a garage. Although visitors don't park in the garage. And 
neither do I about 9 months out of the year.

Do you have an automobile from the 70's or earlier? Things changed since 
then. As modern automobiles don't leak like the old days. Harleys seemed 
to be the last of the oil leakers. But even them doesn't leak oil for I 
dunno, the last 10 years it seems.

That makes no sense whatsoever. If you use driveway for parking and call 
it a parkway that would make sense.

>   SO neither is an oxymoron when one considers the actual derivatives.

Have you ever looked at an oxymoron list before? Just Google oxymoron 
and there are tons of examples. Funny that other example I used was sun 
rise and sun sets. Yet no comment about that one. ;-)

  I bet I wouldn't show up.  At least not with anything that needed

  I didn't say a damned thing about someone's hoarding clutter turning
the garage into a non-functional matchbox.

  I am talking about organized folk who use their garage for an
automobile or two, as it was intended.

  If you ever lived in New Jersey, you wouldn't say that.

  No.  Those we refer to as "parking lots" and they are not supposed to
be "lane" shaped.  Most are not.

  Now, one might take the parkWAY to the parking lot (or GARAGE).  And
then take the monorail back over to the casino.  There is even a monorail
at a grocery store in Fairfield, OH.

  Just fuck off.  You are worse than a stupid lead guitarist who doesn't
even play all that well.  You have no business in Usenet trying to "hep
folks out", when it is clear you consider a cursory glance at a reference
about a term makes you some kind of expert in its meaning.  You do not
know anything about anyone in these groups.

  Like I would ever need a primer on how to use google,, much less what
an example of one is.

  Certain words were coined long before modern science or scientific
knowledge.  These words do not even qualify for the moniker, so it is
decidedly you whom does not know the meaning of the term, regardless of
your ability or lack thereof to hunt up what you think are 'tons' of
examples.

Judging by what you write here, I would seriously suggest having 
yourself tested for Asperger's Syndrome, also known as high-functioning 
autism.

No, that's not an insult.  I have HFA myself.

The only one talking nonsense here - about GNU/Linux - is you.  Live 
CDs/DVDs do not swap to a Windows filesystem, period.
