Speak for yourself.  Not everyone shares your stale and feeble

With the advent of urban civilization, humans had to learn to
shit in toilets and wipe their asses. 

Some have yet to master these "skills."

You represent only that failed crowd of losers.

Henry Ford, the automotive pioneer, once famously remarked:

"A customer can have any color car he wants, as long as it's
black."

We all know what happened to him.  He single-handedly changed
the world for the better and brought vast improvements to the
common standard of living.

Therefore, there is only one computer OS worthy of the designation
and that is GNU/Linux.

Now go back to your MBA formulas.  That reflexive jargon is all
that your little mind can muster.

GNU/Linux is for the big boys, and that ain't you.

   The bottom like is workflow, not how far you can piss.

Who told you that malarkey?

In an advanced civilization, the bottom line is quality and
excellence.  The modern superior human has dispensed with such
archaic notions as deadlines and efficiencies.

Only in seedy, old-world sweatshops does one hear talk about
"workflow."

You obviously represent the typical throwback to nineteenth century
management style.  The US business sector is full of such antiquated

It wasn't single-handedly and Fords began to sell other colors

Indeed.  That's why the update systems of Red Hat, Debian,
and SuSE, and their derivatives are the "best in the business".

Of course :-).  The same is true of Apple.

I'm sure they miss the $0 Linux users spend on technology.

Your mathematics is very poor.

Linux users represent a NEGATIVE dollar amount due to the
loss of what would have been spent on MS/Apple.

Your mathematical ability is very poor.  That's why you are
an advocate of MS/Apple.

I demand excellence out of my students, myself and the software I use.
That's why I DON'T use Linux.

If your students had any inkling of your true intellectually depraved
character, they would gladly resurrect the practice of fragging:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragging

But your students are most likely demented American brats who are
lost in a world of dreams and who couldn't distinguish quality and
integrity from a hole in the ground.

Yet more proof that using Linux turns you into a socially inept loser 
who can do nothing more than shout and hurl insults. It's that or it 
attracts that sort of person.

How my wishes for a happy thanksgiving devolved into a Linux fight is being my ability to comprehend.

But I had a great thanksgiving with my family. It's so strange to think back to thanksgivings long ago and now it is me who is the oldest one in the room. Life is amazing, right?

I am so glad of the work I put in parenting. My children are respectful, smart, funny and opinionated. Just the way I raised then to be.

We all ate too much.

And the chocolate cream pie!

HVAC has such a fantasy life. He was married once, but being gay it 
never worked out. He has no kids except his imaginary ones (like Herb's 
imaginary friend). So he makes up his "family" and pretends to be normal 
online.

HVAC you KNOW you are gay and need to COME OUT!
