<0> but yeah, i just want an internet box that doesnt require servicing
<1> then dont use linux:P
<0> my friend moved in with her dad recently and has nothing
<1> use win 98
<0> spyware = servicing
<2> ugh, you hardly want win98 as an internet box
<2> why not use linux?
<0> exactly
<0> i set it up, install GAIM
<1> he said no servising
<0> it requires to servicing...
<1> trillian is just as good as gaim
<0> i mean if somethign needs installing yeah i'll need to do it for her
<2> ..that's what linux is great for.. set it up and it works
<1> thats what windows is good for
<0> my point
<0> HAHAH
<2> the setting up part is the bastard
<1> plug and play isnt as bad as everyone says
<0> thats what windows is natorius for ****ing at...
<1> unless you use some obscure ****ing hardware
<1> i admit the generic drivers arnt the best
<1> but they run ****
<0> dude
<1> untill you can find better ones
<0> if shes running AIM
<0> there WILL be a virus
<1> trillian
<0> and on a box like that, itll slow down to a ****all
<2> when does gaim require servicing?
<1> when does trillian require servicing
<1> except when they update it
<0> when does Linux require servicing
<2> and what do you mean by servicing?
<1> good question RogerRabb
<0> Chez, its not trillian its winblows in general
<1> win-**** you ****ing ***hole
<1> you want "no servicing" windows is what you want
<0> she runs windows, shell get spyware, and shell get viruses, its inevitable
<0> if your a decent person, its no problem
<1> linux is getting attacked by viruses now
<1> did you know that?
<0> but other then point and click, shes a goner
<0> and no i didnt, seeing as 3 of my linux boxes havent had a virus in the last year
<1> <1> linux is getting attacked by viruses now
<1> i said now
<1> NOT 3 YEARS AGO
<1> way to read
<2> and what do you mean by servicing?
<0> haha way to be a dip ****
<1> your the one who is confusing everyone
<0> define everyone?
<1> and you still havnt anwsered RogerRabb's very legitimate question
<1> everyone as in anyone who is trying to help you
<3> other than ati, what's that other popular video card brand?
<1> nvidia
<1> lol
<0> thats becuse im too bussy replying to your dumb *** hole remarks
<0> RogerRabb, i mean anything other then pushing the power button, and clicking an icon
<1> umm windows does that
<2> any operating system does that
<1> exatly
<1> and what "dumb *** hole remarks" have i made
<0> but like i've said a good 2 times. when the windows box gets spyware, on a box that small itll be ****ed
<1> you only get spyware if your a ****ing retard
<1> spyware doesnt just magically appear
<0> or you dont know jack **** about computers
<2> once you've setup a system, secured it, and installed all the software you want then you're good to go
<1> as i asid
<1> spyware doesnt just magically appear
<0> Chez, have you a younger sister at all?
<1> ya, and shes a ****ing retard and her system is blue screening on her
<0> my point exactly
<1> i laugh cause i dont feel like fixing it for her
<0> my point, exactly
<1> you have to DO soemthing to get spywate
<2> if you
<1> so what..your saying your a ****ing retard?
<0> ^dumb, ***hole remark
<1> umm
<1> your the one who is claming your a retard
<1> not me
<0> and the friend im builting it for, especialy using AIM, would do this **** you speak of to get spyware
<1> see thats different
<1> you NEVER said this was for someone who isnt computer suavy
<1> and if they arn
<0> HAHAHAHA
<0> the **** i havent
<1> then linux isnt for them
<1> where have you said this box isnt for you"?
<0> Chez then dont use linux:P
<0> MrPockets my friend moved in with her dad recently and has nothing
<1> im trying to help but you arnt really giving us all the pieces of the puzzle
<0> MrPockets but other then point and click, shes a goner
<0> but let me rephrase my question then
<2> since I came in at the middle? of this convo, lets see if I got it right so far.. computer user doesn't know what they're doing..they want a system which is all setup for them - for internet only - that includes web browser and chat client - for IM protocols. And you, MrPockets are building them a system and trying to decide what os to use?
<1> see you kept refering to she
<1> and by she i ment your computer
<2> is that about right?
<0> im looking to built a retard proof Instant messaging machine.
<1> thats impossible
<1> to be honest
<2> it's hardly impossible..
<0> i chose Linux becasue i know AIM is just a target for dumb teenie boppers
<1> then choose linux
<2> with windows xp you can create custom user accounts with no access to anything except email, web, and chat
<1> i gave you suggestions
<2> but then you still run the risk of lots of spyware/viruses
<0> RogerRabb, but thoguh AIM she can click the "I SAY YOUR PIC HERE!!" ****
<0> and gaim wont do that
<1> why not?
<1> and how is it any different then trillian
<0> sorry, giam on a linux box
<0> i didnt specify that
<2> not if she doesn't have the right to save files to the local machine
<1> besides the open sourceness
<1> deepfreeze
<1> or a similar program
<1> would be the ultimate retard proof system
<1> but tahts a lot of work
<0> yeah, thats more then i'd care to learn how to do
<2> I would just setup a linux or mac machine for her.. the chances of viruses is pretty much next to none - that's not saying linux doesn't have viruses, but the chances are a billion to one - compared to windows
<1> i know retard proof isnt impossible but the work that is required makes it pretty close to :P
<2> you can limit pretty much everything
<2> only give her access to a few things, chuck a couple widgets on the desktop
<2> limit everything else, make her a user with **** all rights
<0> do you know if DamnSmall has GAIM on it?
<2> probably
<2> hmm
<0> well
<0> after 15 minutes of my pissing people off
<0> thank you
<1> you never pissed me of
<1> if thats who your refering to
<0> hah
<0> well thank you, and if i did, i apologize
<1> i mostly blame the you refering to "her" all the time
<1> i still say i thought you were refering to your computer
<1> which confused me immensly
<1> >_>
<0> hahaha
<1> thats what i thought
<1> thus my confusin:P
<2> god I want to keep my replacement monitor
<1> lol
<2> they ship you the replacement before you send them the original
<2> so at the moment I have two in dual screen
<0> hah
<2> I even took pictures :/
<0> i ordered a 19" dell CRT instead of the default 15" for +100
