Federal Aviation Administration Saves $15 Million by Migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux

That.. and perl rots the brain!

While I know Perl is very powerful, it has to be one of the ugliest languages I've ever used.

So maybe my pic was of a different Airbus line

Yes, lying as usual to try to say that the problem stated in the article was caused by Linux, which it wasn't. This was explained to you on the thread.

I was responding to the lies they use Windows

No, you were responding to Windows jokes. Here's a hint: when someone says "Damn Windows! But seriously..." it means "Damn Windows" was not a serious comment, just a joke. This is basic English comprehension. There's no need to correct people who were making jokes, as opposed to the lie you posted.

Every time you refer me back to a thread I've never before seen claiming others were lying, I find out it was only you who lied.

Microsoft Fan-boy - Millennium Edition

"Millennium Edition" -- Ouch, that's an insult if I've ever seen one.

Don't blame me if you think all the Linux/Windows lies are only jokes. Your judgement will one day come, and you still don't see it coming.

Don't blame me if you think all the Linux/Windows lies are only jokes.

The ones in that thread were obvious jokes. If someone starts saying "Here's one, this guy walks into a bar..." do you even recognize that a joke is coming? I thought "But seriously..." would be enough of a notice of a joke even for you.

I had never even seen that thread before, never even knew that Airbus was running Linux for its entertainment systems, and a simple reading of the posts plus a couple minutes of Googling showed only you lying.

And here's the kicker: I looked at his history way back, and the guy who said "Damn Windows" isn't even a normal poster on these Linux/Windows tech threads. You got a joke from somebody completely outside the debate and took it to be a serious comment from one of our regular Linux advocates. Others were replying to that (thus continuing the joke) and making fun of the experiences you get with tech support.

You are so dense they should use your head for M1 sabot rounds.

BTW, from the FR posting rules:

"Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread."

Damn, you never research, do you?

He's well aware of the deliberate deception in his post.

Whatever you're taking, up the dosage.

Your judgement will one day come, and you still don't see it coming.

Are you making a threat?

At this point, I'm not sure he knows what he's doing. Probably dizzy from the most recent spanking.

Microsoft didn't think anyone would want to have their server up for 50 days at a time?

That sounds like the wisdom of experience.

Bottom line remains - Linux is crashing on Airbus, not Windows.

And the FAA choice to use Linux simply because it's cheaper is ignorant. Unix is far more reliable and proven, and although it does often cost more, we're talking possible life and death situations and I'd rather my safety not be left to a cheap knock off.

He's well aware of the deliberate deception in his post.

Hell Im still waiting for ten from his claim of ten thousand instances of airbus having an issue with Linux...

The man is a flat out liar..

The liars are obviously the linux pushers, blaming Microsoft when it's not even in use on the plane while Linux is, claiming all software updates for Windows 2000 ended last summer when they actually go until 2010, claiming Google is releasing a version of Linux, that Dell is selling Linux on their home desktop computers, that IBM is switching to Linux internally, somehow again, that Windows is the official O/S of China's government when we a know it's Linux, that China can't make infinite copies of the Red Hawk kernel, etc etc etc, all those in just the last few months off the top of my head.

There's hardly a day that goes by on here without some more Linux Lies being posted. What do you have in store for us today LOL.

The Current Golden Eagle Lie/Hypocrisy/Cluelessness/General Lunacy List:
(Now with 48% more ad hominem attacks!).

Lies:

Here's where he says that all GPL copyrights are signed over to Stallman: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1612495/posts?page=44#44

then, when he's caught, says that he's not sorry (or, as I like to call it, a "nopology"): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1612495/posts?q=1&&page=61#62

Here's where he refers to Dell "systems": http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1585665/posts?page=35#35

Then denies his own copied-and-pasted quote: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1585665/posts?page=137#137

then blames me for it all, saying I should have reminded him of his own words: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1585665/posts?page=165#165

Then, here's where he makes more false accusations of ME: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=90#90

and here's where I ask him to prove I said the things he accused me of: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=92#92

Here's where he doesn't provide any proof: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=95#95

And fails again to prove what he says: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=99#99

And yet again, repeating the accusations, but failing to provide proof: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=122#122

And now, where his "proof" of what I said is something I didn't even post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=125#125

and where he has the nerve to ask another poster to back up what they say with specific examples, despite the fact that he refused to do so for me: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=255#255

and here is where he demands that yet someone ELSE provide a link to prove what THEY said: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1568848/posts?page=68#68

and here is where he claims he will admit mistakes, despite the fact that he hasn't admitted this one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592494/posts?page=43#43

Here he is claiming that Red Hat has a couple of hundred Linux kernel developers: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1527263/posts?page=49#49

And here he is claiming no one knows how many kernel developers work for Red Hat: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1527263/posts?page=77#77

and here, he denies that he said hundreds, yet again (21st paragraph): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=131#131

And here he is getting nailed for it yet again:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=132#132

and again: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=137#137

and claiming that I never proved that he was wrong about the number of kernel developers at Red Hat, despite the fact that he said "literally hundreds" himself, but later retracted it: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=134#134

Here he is saying that he's leaving a thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=127#127

and here he is, many days and over 100 posts later, still posting: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?q=1&&page=281#284

Here's where he tries to say that Richard Stallman is opposed to all patents: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=266#261

Here's where he amends his statement to say "software patents": http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1609606/posts?page=22#22

Here's where Jim Robinson tells about creating the Freerepublic Forums in '97: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1011545/posts

And here's where GE, a man on the cutting edge of technology, claims he managed to get a membership at FR two years before the forums existed: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/950193/posts?page=285#285

Here's where he hijacked the Open Source Ping List, and the ensuing discussion: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1571222/posts?page=8#8

Hypocrisy:

Here, he complains that Cedega's bad because it's not free: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1591595/posts?page=115#115

and then, mocks another user for suggesting that Cedega be free: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1591595/posts?page=134#134

then complains that Linux is bad because it is free: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1530486/posts?page=40#40

then says Solaris is good because it's free: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1490554/posts?page=21#21

Here he is, criticizing Linux because it doesn't run Windows apps (despite the fact that it can, in some cases): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1591595/posts?q=1&&page=101#115

Here he is, recommending Solaris, which doesn't run Windows apps: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1490554/posts?page=21#21

...and Apple, which doesn't either: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1573697/posts?page=9#9

and copping out when challenged about Windows inability to run Linux apps: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1591595/posts?page=118#118

Here, he's criticizing others for namecalling: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1584107/posts?page=29#29

And here he is, namecalling: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1583531/posts?page=61#61

Here's where GE says Stallman is a whacko leftist: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1601565/posts?page=24#24

Here's where I agree: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1601565/posts?page=30#30

And here's where he disagrees that I agree: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1601565/posts?page=30#31

And here's where he claimed I defended Stallman (I didn't) and fails to provide a link to back up his accusations:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1607069/posts?page=96#96

Here he is ridiculing another poster for using bold fonts to make a point: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1493462/posts?page=130#130

And here he is using bold fonts to make a point: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=106#106

Here he is, complaining about abortions in China: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=106#106

and here he is, defending Microsoft's contributions to Planned Parenthood: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1492595/posts?page=22#22

And here he is defending Planned Parenthood itself: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1601565/posts?page=35#33

and again, lying about the primary mission of that organization (he says it's to fight AIDS in Africa): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1601565/posts?page=40#40

Cluelessness:

Here, he becomes concerned about security on Knoppix, a live Linux filesystem, written to a FINALIZED (read that: unwritable) CD-R, which by default, runs with all drives unmounted and in unwritable mode: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1536740/posts?page=18#18

Here's where a poster very obviously criticizes him for his closed-mindedness and he totally misses it, instead taking it as a compliment (post 79 and his response, 80): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1539488/posts?page=80#79

General lunacy:

Here is a Linux thread with only one post by GE (notice how pleasant and peaceful): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1500664/posts?q=1&&page=1

Here is a Linux thread where GE stayed and trolled (well beyond 280 posts, totally off the topic. No insults before he showed up, as with many of his threads. He has stated multiple times that he was leaving, yet he keeps posting, because he's a last word freak): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?q=1&&page=1#1

Here are some of his infamous "picture posts", usually made when he is getting beaten very badly:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1536740/posts?page=106#106
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1536740/posts?page=125#125

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1487693/posts?page=163#163

Here he is, suggesting that Richard Stallman "build[s] up his power" by getting "dopes" to download Linux: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1612495/posts?page=75#75

All first-person pronouns in the big list refer to its compiler: FLAMING DEATH.

Thanks FD for taking on such a BIG job!

Yes, I encourage everyone to go look at any threads in my posting histotry, and see where I constantly expose the lies of those fanatically pushing linux and defending radical leftists like Richard Stallman. It never seems to end, these latest lies blaming Microsoft for problems on Airbus are just today's example.

Yes, I encourage everyone to go look at any threads in my posting histotry...

Good advice.

...and see where I constantly expose the lies...

They're not going to find you exposing lies, only perpetrating them.

Nope they'll find me exposing lies, endlessly. Lies aboout Linux and Dell, Linux and IBM, Linux and Google, on and on. You'll also see them attacking me for exposing them, constantly trying to protect leftists like Stallman, and bash US corporations for attempting to protect their intellectual property. You'll find them constantly crying to the moderator too, while they endlessly launch their insults and name calling.
