<div class="IPBDescription">My name is Bob, and I'm really screwed</div> As part of our equal time policy around here, we take a break from everyone mindlessly bashing Microsoft, and instead turn to the ultra safe and reliable Macintosh OS X (aka 'Panther'). Oh wait a second, I was being sargasmotron...

Yes teenangsters, there are other OS manufacturers out there that make mistakes, besides MS. Next week, I make fun of Linus Thorvald's fashion sense. TTFN.

Heh, that was one of the funniest things I have heard in a long while <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
That's why I get great live chat support from them (I tried this out when it was brand new... they fixed my funky problem in less then 10 minutes), FREE, updates, FREE.
Software expensive? God forbid they actually want to... you know... make money...
I guess people just hate for the sake of hating.
I don't care if Windows has security holes, thats why I have a firewall, and a router, and a virus scanner, and a spyware scanner. And aside from the router, all that stuff can be legally had for <b>free</b>.
Open source? Pfft, they have that stuff for Windows too. And guess what, theres even a free <i>visual</i> c++ program you can use, that command line gcc stuff just dosent do it for me.
Now heres the most ironic part about Linux. You can use all the programs you know and love on Linux, Microsoft Office, Photoshop, etc, using an emulation program called Crossover.... but you <b>HAVE TO PAY FOR IT</b>. Sure you can use Wine, if you don't mine spending hours tweaking its configuration so you can crappily emulate the programs you need.
You would think the Linux community would put a big emphasis on trying to lure people to linux by having built in reliable emulation for popular Windows programs. Instead they tell you tough luck, do it yourself or pay us to.

Awww, but Linus looks so cute on the cover of Wired... he's like a big huggable linux-programming teddy bear.

They also think I'm a linux hater for some reason, and every time I say something like "oh okay, now i get that chmod thing" they're all like "OMG pwndid u r coming over to the LIGHT SIDE" and I'm like " ... I don't hate linux, it just doesn't run any games."
yeah...

Um.... great? Maybe you should ask yourself why you paid for an operating system that need so much extra protection. Or don't I really could care less if you use Windows for the rest of your life.

I'm going to assume your talking about Dev-C++, which uses gcc anyway. Oh, and linux has many IDEs for C++ and many other languages, just like windows. Open Source rocks. And some of use really like Open Source and choose to use OSS OSs too, if you don't want to fine.

Or you can use their OOS equivelents. Or you can use windows. Really, you can't fault an operating system because it can't cooperate with programs made for annother OS without a little tweaking or money. When was the last time you ran a native OSX app on Windows? Yeah, thought so.

But unlike Microsoft, we have no real insentive to "lure" people to using linux. Seriously man, if you hate it that much, don't use it, we don't want your kind anyway.
AND WTH DOES LINUX HAVE TO DO WITH AN OSX THREAD!!?
Tune in next week as Monse feeds the trolls again.
And being white and underlined means to click it.
This is where it gets fun. Watch their half - assed arguments, watch them repeat the same rhetroic...
Just remember, I'll be playing Tribes Vengeance and YOU WON'T.
Interesting because T:V is barely half done...
(BTW: Key note there: PORT. Port = inferior)
And by what crazy logic do you come to that conclusion?
Besides, last I checked this was a MacOSX thread, not a linux one.
Yup. Same here. Mac's horrendous.
Um... why do you think that? Do you have reasons or is it some Us vs Them mentality? Is it the examples posted by MonsE?

Here's a question: Why do you defend Linux like it's your unborn child? My god you practically had a brain hemmorhage last time:
"Linux sucks"
