When you say Linux sucks more you are not talking about stability, speed, lifetime, or scalability.

No, I'm talking in terms of general suckiness.

As for all that other stuff, I have to use this crap at work and if they can't be bothered to tell me about this gnome thing and this codescourge then why should I care.

UNIX had its chance and it blew it. I am now repelled by its general geekiness and the need of UNIX people to jargon up their man files.

I will not willingly play ball in their cracked court.

If they ever make anything worth while and put it in a place I care to look, I may give it another look. I just don't see why I should right now.

TCO has been just fine on my new Alienware. Got the VirtualGirl running. Got Unreal 2 running. Got Warcraft III running. Got broadband. Got Windows Media Player. Got Real One. Got that Mac media player. Got Photoshop Elements. Got XP, which is the best OS I've ever used.

So, the only place I have to suffer from the ignorance of UNIX geeks is at work. And I don't really care about work too much any more. If all this is as great as you say, then I expect the swap space problems will magically clear themselves up as soon a as geek comes buy and spouts some incomprehensible jargon and spells Windows as "Windoze" 'cause they are just so freakin' clever.

I'm sure they'll stop by on the way to the next IMF riot.

Well, this monkey has to fly for tonight. The wicked witch is after this little girl and her dog who murdered her [the wicked witch's] sister.

TCO is SOL on the NCEP. Whatever that might mean.

And SNAFU is UBER ALLES.
