I must say, I'm impressed that this troll has gathered so many replies. Especially as he advertises that it's a troll.
Look at the first letter of the subject and each line in the post: "TROLLED SO HARD".
I don't like to encourage trolls, but this one was quite inventive.
No, it doesn't come with FreeDOS; you can run FreeDOS on it, but it normally uses its own DOS-like shell.
I probably did the same, to be fair. The problem is that a lot of people have attitudes like the one I was (erroneously) replying to, and it gets old. Females are frequently, even in this day and age, objectified and made to feel like they only exist for male companionship (or worse, as objects for men to stare at), so it was easy to mistake what you said as being more of the same.
Nevertheless, thanks for apologising, and for the clarification - it means a lot to know that people do exist on Slashdot who care.
What's wrong with dating a transsexual?
I mean, I'm assuming you're not so shallow as to be dating only for the sex. And even if you were, some have had the operation.
Because of course girls only exist for the sole purpose of being dated, right?
*sigh*
That seems a bit unfair to guys. I mean, I know a guy who's interested in four things.
Only one thing to say to that: http://xkcd.com/322/ .
Girls do exist on Slashdot, you know. In fact, I'd consider myself geekier than most guys.
The GP was likening the usage of the phrase "Real scientists" to the True Scotsman fallacy.
Except that they shut Think Secret down, remember?
That would be Welsh, not English, surely?
I certainly agree about ntfs-3g - I use it too. (I dual-boot, and having access to both types of partitions from both OSes is a lifesaver.) I have absolutely no problems with ntfs-3g either and would recommend it wholeheartedly.
I actually didn't know that ext3 now defaulted to 256-byte inodes; my mistake on that one. I hope IFS is extended to allow for that size soon.
Sure, there's an Ext3 driver for windows, but from what I've seen it's not that good.
Which particular driver are you referring to? There are a few.
Personally, I use Ext2 IFS in Windows (it works for Ext3 too) and it is, hands-down, the stablest and best Ext2/3 Windows driver I've used. Every other one I've tried would have stability issues; with IFS I don't have to worry. (There's been precisely *one* time in pretty much years that the driver crashed on me, and that's when I was doing something weird and stupid; I don't remember what. But more importantly, it didn't do anything bad to the filesystem in that crash.)
Hey, don't knock it. I found out about Cute Overload from that, which is pretty awesome IMO.
