Planning on watching the Perseid meteor shower this weekend?
You REALLY need to pull your head out of the computer son. Go outside and look around. This hatred of yours is going to eat you up.
The only hatred that I can see around here on display is that directed at Bill Gates, and at me since for some reason they see me as some sort of proxy. I tell people constantly to switch to Apple or Sun or even BSD and they still can't control themselves from attacking me constantly just because they have no other answers at that point. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for not running Microsoft, there's just not many good ones for using Linux instead.
As for other more important events than one's choice of software, you darn right they exist, and this used to be a good place to discuss them till this open source crowd showed up and started ramming these ridiculous Linux posts down everyone's throat. You should have seen all the lies about Linux posted, repeatedly on here earlier this year. That IBM was switching internally, that Dell was selling it on home desktop computers, that Google was releasing a version of Linux, that VMware was based on Linux, on and on, now they're even pushing this chicom laptop.
So if it bothers you that I speak out against foreign products and dispell all the Linux lies, sorry, that's what I feel compelled to do when I see it posted. I comment on other threads on occasion, and would much prefer to do that, but when I see obvious inaccuracies posted, often in defense of leftists or foreign governments or products, I'm going to try to set that record straight first. And there sure is a lot of it these days. You can't be a proud American anywhere these days, not even on FR, LOL.
