Linux guys are under the hood guys. Used to work with an under the hood guy. Every time we were working on a deadline, I’d come in and the computer was in fifteen parts on his desk.
I think it’s like a guy that enjoys working on cars. He may know everything, but the down time is pretty high. When the wife wants to go to the store, the car’s disassembled in the driveway.

Sure didn’t take long for the Mac weenies to start throwing insults. So much for that “its always the windows guys who start it”.

Check post #2. Yeah WTF. Don’t dig too deep ace. Your OS realley sucks... It wasn't the Mac guys who started it on this thread.

I used to get stuff on buy.com. One time, when I made a purchase, they asked me to fill out a survey for a 10% discount on the purchase. Apparently, when I filled out the survey, it signed me up for something called "Tiger Direct," one of those stupid purchasing clubs. They started billing me $10 a month on my credit card. I had to make phone calls and everything to get them to stop.

FWIW, over the last couple of months, I've had to get $30 per month in monthly charges taken off my phone bill. Heads up to any Freepers. AT&T put a block for purchases on our cell phones, as no one in the family knew how we ended up getting charged.

This monthly billing to your phone number is turning into a big problem, and even supposedly reputable web sites are partnering with companies that pull the "bill a CC or phone number monthly" garbage for stuff like sending you a daily horoscope or claiming to give a 5¢ discount if you buy a car through some club. Check ALL your bills every month. Also, I haven't used buy.com since they pulled that on me.

Looks like that was a dig at a Mac owner... Not a dig at a Windows owner.

One of the reasons the netbook I just bought for my son will come with Ubuntu.
