The problem with Linux is most users can barely turn on the machine and get to the apps they use for business. Home users can barely turn the machine on and get to AOL. Ask them to recompile the kernel or a new driver and they will give you an expression that makes Bossy the Cow look like a Mensa member. I did in-home repairs and instruction for 3 years. I can’t count the number of times I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying, “Just put your computer out with the trash. You are clearly too stupid to own one”.

The problem with Linux is the community's poor attitude toward users.

Wait. Don't tell us. Client-centered customer service wasn't your strong suit, right?

I haven't had to recompile a kernel or driver in at least five years. It's well past time to retire that cliche.

The only time I build Linux kernels or drivers is when I'm doing Linux kernel or driver development for embedded hardware; my Ubuntu 'workstation' just runs and runs.

Well, ignorance can be profitable.



Where there's a shell, there's a way.

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

And finally, this, dedicated to the one and only rdb2, whose eyes are growing dim.

Either way, the violin is sweet yet LETHAL.

Do it!
