I've never seen a more blatant example of You Don't Need That in my life.

The reason people hate Anita Sarkeezian is not because she is a woman, but because she purposefully misrepresents facts in games

Example?

and posed as someone that enjoys games when there is video evidence of the contrary.

Why does this matter? You don't have to be an artist to criticize art. Roger Ebert seems to have become pretty well-respected considering his only film credit was Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

She lied to the people that financed her videos and then did not even deliver,

Example?

not to mention that it's such poorly made crap that a high school student could have done better.

Oh, well, that's certainly worth death threats. You've convinced me with this one!

I just finished loading a Windows 2008 server running IIS yesterday,

Before you selected the web server role, how many ports did it have open?

Just as a reminder, you yourself said:

When you load windows, it's NOT secure, you have to load other stuff to make it secure.

Windows boxes? They come out of the install process wide open with a whole raft of dangerous services turned on.

If that's true, and if you have recent experience of it, you should have no trouble at all telling me what part of your initial Windows Server 2008 install was insecure. Which dangerous services were turned on? You did this just yesterday, this should be a breeze.

Look. I don't believe you. Nobody who works with Windows Server would say the OS is descended from Windows 3.1. It's not possible for that combination of expertise and ignorance to co-exist. You're lying to me about setting up a Windows Server. I'm not buying what you're selling, buddy.

IMHO Linux is better, both historically (which even you cannot argue with apparently)

I'm making no argument one way or the other. I'm saying that's completely irrelevant.

and currently remains better.

Right, but based on what? Just your humble opinion? Do you have any evidence whatsoever? Have you even used recent versions of Windows Server?

Because your extreme ignorance of it tells me you have not, and as a result your humble opinion isn't worth jack.

Windows 8 isn't a server. You're comparing apples to oranges, and being intellectually dishonest, and you know it.

The truth is: you haven't used Windows Server 2008, you haven't used Windows Server 2012, and you (obviously from your grandparent post) have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about when it comes to Windows Server security.

And instead of just admitting as much and bowing-out gracefully, you pull the "hahaha you are wrong but it's a waste of time to argue with you!" card. Disgusting.

Ok your brain is broken in two ways here:

1. You keep talking about history. Nobody gives a shit which OS was more secure in 1986, we care which is more secure now. The question is, if I were standing up a server today, which OS would be the best choice?

2. You're redefining "Linux" to mean whatever happens to make it best in any given situation. Saying OpenSSL isn't part of "Linux" is both technically correct, and extremely intellectually dishonest.

To be perfectly frank: the grandparent has an extremely good point that you're completely ignoring. In recent years, Linux server security has been measurably worse than Windows server security.

The $80 package I have allows 10 video tracks, which is more than enough for me. I think I've hit the limit once in 100+ videos, and it was really easy to work-around. Without knowing what this guy is doing, it would be hard to say whether that meets his needs or not.

You can buy a basic version of Sony Vegas for $80, one-time cost. It does a *lot* for $80.

I support it. Wholeheartedly.

My primary reason is to spite Slashdotters. Is it working? I'm so fucking shit of the constant "there taking our JERBS!" bullshit and hypocrisy on this site.

The Microsoft party-line has always been that retraining employees to use Linux is far more expensive than paying those license fees...

Does "Microsoft party-line" mean that Microsoft has actually expressed this? Or is it code for, "I heard a lot of Slashdotters bitching about this"?

Or in other words, cite please?

What's stopping him from going on the roof? I doubt the police would try and snag him into a helicopter.

She was apparently in charge of a $25 million budget. Let's hope that money was being spent on more than travel costs for speeches!

I'm also pretty sure:

Luna has been engineered from the ground up to be light on its toes. It starts up quickly, logs in instantly, and uses the bare minimum of resources so that your apps enjoy a speed boost as well. And with Luna, you get the same Linux foundation chosen for the worldâ(TM)s fastest supercomputers.

is a flat-out lie, considering it's using the Linux kernel. Unless they're claiming they had an engineer re-examine every line of code in the Linux kernel "from the ground up".

Actually, no, that is really annoying, because you end up with a computer that does stuff behind your back, and is using bandwidth/processor power when I need it.

The CPU power is a non-issue for an application like this.

Windows solved the bandwidth problem by creating BITS, Background Intelligent Transfer Service, that only consumes bandwidth when no other processes are making bandwidth demands. So if you're halfway through a 2-GB patch, and start up Battlefield 4, the patch download will automatically stop until BF4 is done using the network.

Surely Linux has a feature like that that can be used? This should be a 100% solved problem in 2014.

You do realize that the software product Visio predates the TV brand by a solid decade, right?
