in New lead in missing person case on Daily News of Newburyport
I'd love to give April 40 valium, then dump the rest down his throat. I'm sure he's a real nice guy...

in One bug report to rule them all on Linux Hater's Blog
My little personal experience: I tried Ubuntu 7.10, on a disk with an XP install. I chose the minimum partition size proposed, and the installer poof-crashed before the end, trashing the XP MBR in the process without installing GRUB (deleting the original boot sector long before installing yours is a stroke of genius, but I digress). I cursed, shrugged, recovered the XP install with another PC, and submitted the bug. After a few months of being ignored, a genius wrote to me that I should have included a log, and since I didn't he closed it. Basically he asked me to trash my system a second time on purpose. Make of that what you will.

>> So you hava a needlessly byzantine spec that manages to work cleanly under KernelA but is a total hairball under KernelB.
No ... it works under KernelA because there are smart, paid people working on KernelA, whose first priority is _get it working no matter what_, since _users_ don't care about whose fault it is, just that their computer isn't bootin', their microwave isn't cookin', their car radio is stuck on the boot splashscreen.
read this for a great overview of the subject of specs vs. reality - there is Microsoft bashing, so you'll be able to get thru it: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/03/17....
then you can head there: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tp...
money quote: "[...]I can also point out that when people complain about code bloat in Windows(talking kernel mode here, not apps), much of it is due to having to try to deal with every vender's non-standard implementation(you should see how much hacked code was present in XP just to deal with Sony's f'd up BIOS back in those days)."

Sorry, but I think you should really call yourself damnwrong.
The reason drivers work in Windows is MS gets to see the code in anything they allow to use the Windows logos. With the source code available making it work becomes a lot easier. It's not that they have smart paid people doing it, it's all about having access to the source code. While, I'll not knock the smart people working at MS, they certainly don't have a lock on smarts or ability. If you really doubt the power of Linux to do it right, take a look at the top 500 super computers. One OS dominates, and it's not MS - which has one lonely machine on the list. In fact Linux has a monopoly on the Top 500 List.
Well that's all I can take of this blog, I have better things to do. Like build my FOSS/HW EV.
Salut!

Of course, they pat themselves on the back while shouting “Boycott Foxconn Motherboards”. Uhh, earth to dumbass: Foxconn has been making computer components, outside of just motherboards, for the past 3 decades.
You'd be hard pressed to find any motherboard, gadget, or appliance that doesn't use Foxconn components in them. My Amiga 500's ports? Foxconn.

Yes, everyone is ought to get them.
Many Lusers are like walking comic figures. It's as if the portal between the real and the comic world broke up and suck the lusers into the real world.
Their whining is so unreal.
Reminds me of:

Ha, yeah. As usual a lot of people misunderstood the argument.
Dump the rest of what down his throat?
There was no 40 valium,and all you morons that think you know so much,with all YOUR alias names that YOU use should get your facts straight,or you too can let a 16 year old boy decide what you have done or not done!
Your a complete idiot,you know nothing about what your talking about.
Yes you should be sure,he is a real nice guy! I know you were just making another slam at him,but be brave,come out from behind all your made up names and say who you are.
You dont have a clue what your talking about in this post or any that you have posted...
