Of course you mean it's "crappy" because it doesn't reinforce the stupid
lies you lying cola lusers have been blabbing for years - that 50% of
Windows systems are infected.

Turns out the MSRT found malware on just 2.1% of the 270 million systems it
was applied to.

So I got'cher "viruses" here (DFS grabs crotch and gives Rasker and cola the
finger).

"It's not Microsoft" would be my top reason, by far, to use Linux/OSS.

I wouldn't trust the statistics of some fool Linux-Pimp like Rasker as
far as I could toss a building somewhere.

All these Linux-Pimps, fools and clowns are playing themselves, playing
each other and have pimped themselves into some kind of a belief.

I would say the 3/4 of the crap that's being spewed in this NG, hell,
they can't even believe it themselves, but they have got to back each
other up. :-P

The list is long of those that are the Linux-Pimps.

"Vista laid low" ---> substandard, i.e., no bragging rights.

Roughly 1 out of 4 instead of 1 out of 2. It was a counterpoint
to a troll's take about Vista security.

You can take CP/M, all the rest your crap and embedded all up your ass

Pretty pompous and arrogant for a guy who apparently /still/ thinks
that "sudo embedded in a bash script in HOWTO code" is an automatic
way into anything.

You can watch Hadron "they are hacked on a routine basis" Quark
both brag about stating obvious stuff and show off
his mistaken notions about sudo here:

http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Si...derasc-20.html

Jim Richardson, Bob Hauck, and Richard Rasker systematically
dismantle Hadron's "argument".

Rasker has proved himself totally and utterly incompetent when it comes
to ANY form of statistical analysis. Using flawed numbers he applies
flawed algorithms to reach, well, a flawed result.

His inability to even go to Amazon, click on computers, then laptops
then "best selling" was a lesson to all involved at how little he should
be trusted. That combined with all the stories of foul mouthed women on
trains, friends with sons who are amazed at Linux and how he has
revitalised 3rd world PCs, which look like they were extras in
Waterworld, suggests that little, if anything, he posts can be trusted.

Erm, yes I do know what sudo is. And it is of paramount importance to
the point I made above. If you do no understand that (and I think you do
understand it) then ask and I will explain.

I dont need too. One of my first programs was in Z80 on an RML 380Z
machine. Something to filter data for a school physics
experiment. Trivial stuff but exciting at the time. CP/M was nothing
special. And all the halcyon memories dont really change that. For the
time wonderful. Compared to now? Hell, emacs probably has an emulator for
it ....

The question stands. Are you really trying to tell us you had a gaping
void in your career post mid 90s?

Minicomputers were dumped quicker than Shares in Enron from the end of
the 80s. The CPM machines were used as gym vaults in school sporting
events.
