Are you kidding? The very first thing I do when I see a Linux GUI is CTRL+ALT+F1 (or F2, F3... anything to get a normal tty). In any other *nix, I immediately pop open a terminal and do all my work there.
For those who know why, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not (*cough*MCSA types*cough*), no explanation will suffice.
Actually you now need to know some PowerShell in order to pass the MCSA tests, at least for Windows 2012.
There is a very broken, hazy line between marketing and lying.
I thought they were synonyms...
If you are trying to sell something it's marketing. Otherwise it's lying.
Well, given that 77% of Americans believe in the existence of angels, I don't know what anyone expected.
I believe in Angels. They play baseball in Los Angeles.
And in addiiton, what about the fact that they're eating up your bandwidth?
Knowing Comcast, Wi-fi use probably applies to your bandwidth limit as well.
Well.. even if you're just making a joke, I'm not talking about anything as cosmetic as that, and I'm not even talking about XP, but I think you know that.
It was a joke. My first reaction to Windows XP was that it looked like it was designed by Fisher-Price.
we're being force-fed Playskool-like operating systems for computers

How much "game-changing functionality" can you really work into a fucking coffee machine?
It turns into a coffee fucking machine. See how I did that?
So that's where the cream comes from...
your example of 'validating user input before inserting it into an SQL database" is of course something that should be part of standard components.
What are you taking about. Why should you validate input? I mean I run into people named "Bob;DROP TABLE USERS;" every day.
Not just the Internet. But that guy with the fedora, mink coat and lots of bling.
On one hand he's using Fedora. A Linux user can't be that bad. But on the other hand he's using Bing, there's just no excuse for that.
Google, now has its own navy, to go with its air force and robot army.'"
How else do you expect them to defend themselves from Oracle?
I remember when Bill Gates said that if software were being pirated, he would prefer that it was HIS software being pirated. He wanted to hook them now, so that he could charge them later.
I guess there aren't enough pirates being hooked, so now they have to give it away gratis.
I suspect that they will have trouble even giving Windows 8.x away.
I did not oppose a Federal gay marriage law out of hate for gays. I opposed it because marriage is none of the Federal government's f*ing business.
Since marriage is none of the government's business then why should they be able to tell you who you cannot marry?
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."
Actually, I do press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off on my car. (Nissan Altima with keyless ignition)
