<0> Tronks: I'm more anti-MSFT than anything
<0> Tronks: But I know how to manage it, and it works for me. I fulfills my needs. Like I've said, I run what I consider the best available.
<1> Nanuq: what the heck is the FT at the end of MSFT ?
<0> Tronks: Would I use MSFT OSes for servery things? No. Never.
<0> Emerson: I'm using the ticker symbol.
<1> ahh
<2> Nanuq: of course, if you know how to manage Windows you're fine, I have never been infected in XP
<0> Tronks: What I've found for server tasks does in fact run on OSS and non-OSS systems. That's fine. We're talking strictly about some sort of system with a GUI, where I'm supposed to sit in front of it and use it.
<1> Tronks: I don't touch MS products with a 10ft pole, only reason is that I don't like anything I can do "tail -f /var/log/messages" on :)
<2> Nanuq: but you have to agree with me that some parts of Windows **** hard
<0> Emerson: You have the equiv..
<0> Tronks: I'm not disagreeing.
<1> lol
<0> Tronks: IE ****s hard. explorer.exe ****s hard.
<0> Tronks: The whole "it costs money" and product activation **** ****s really hard.
<0> Tronks: I have to balance these things. Even with all that, it beats what I've seen.
<1> Nanuq: I dont see anything good about MSWindows
<0> Tronks: I'd rather contend with all this.
<2> Nanuq: the registry ****s, uninstalling apps ****s
<0> tavi-san: if you wanna bounce this cap off me, lemmie know
<2> Nanuq: having your app specific data all spread throughout the HD ****s
<0> Tronks: Yeah well, it came no surprise from myself. You see, back in 2001 I had to decide whether to work towards improving things, or just giving up and using Windows 2000. Well, you can figure which I chose.
<0> Why? Less effort.
<1> "stay away from me I have a virus" ... lol
<3> Nanuq: i would, can you please mail me your shipping address and check if i get free shipping to your place
<3> so that everything would get less expensive
<1> hey tavi-san
<3> hiya Emerson
<1> tavi-san: how ya been?
<2> Nanuq: have you never had problems with MS windowing system?
<3> Emerson: trying to buy stuff from the internet
<3> Emerson: and cursing my country, you? :)
<0> Tronks: I suspect you're ignoring everything I'm saying.
<1> tavi-san: lol, fun!
<1> tavi-san: stressed, stressed, and been up way to long
<2> Nanuq: i'm not
<2> Nanuq: but you said that X windows ****s
<2> Nanuq: and I'm trying to compare it with Windows
<0> Tronks: You understand that I'm not some MSFT/Windows fan?
<3> Emerson: i know the feeling
<2> Nanuq: I do
<4> Tronks: apples and oranges, as they say.
<3> last two weeks i had 60+ working hours each week
<2> Nanuq: I just don't understand why you keep on using Windows
<4> Tronks: GDI != Windows just as X11 != Linux
<0> Tronks: Remember it's not one specific thing, but that's certainly a large part.
<0> Tronks: Because things seem complete. Things don't feel like they've been started and abandoned.
<3> Emerson: this is my first weekend off in the past two months
<3> so i must say im happy now :)
<0> Tronks: I do use open source software. A lot of it is absolutely fantastic.
<3> yeah
<0> Tronks: But where it would replace Windows, it just isn't there. I don't even see any progress in the right direction. Just a lot of confused people scratching their arse.
<3> i use windows mainly @ home
<3> try getting a laptop with ati card working right in linux
<3> just a PITA
<2> Nanuq: I'm only felt that Windows was somehow complete only with XP
<5> tavi-san: Wow, do you have that oddest of feelings of not knowing how to relax properly or what to do with your time?
<4> tavi-san: Drivers are a total can of worms, and that's really more the manufacturers' fault than anything
<3> Pizbit: yeah :)
<5> tavi-san: ****s doesn't it?:)
<3> zetawoof: yeah they ****, i have a 7600gt on the desktop
<3> linux works smoothly on it
<0> Tronks: Windows 2000 was the first one with a solid enough core.
<0> Well, NT 4 I suppose was okay.
<4> tavi-san: biggest issue according to some insiders is that if ATI (for example) open-sourced their drivers, they'd be instantly sued by a few dozen other companies they licensed and/or stole code from
<4> at least, for a lot of the newer cards
<3> zetawoof: it figures
<2> Nanuq: ok, I got the point. you don't like MS but aren't satisfied with OSS
<0> Tronks: Pretty much.
<2> Nanuq: but I guess you'd switch if OSS got much better
<0> Tronks: I would have to consider it.
<2> Nanuq: you see? you're biased
<0> Tronks: But I'll admit I still feel guilt for simply giving up.
<0> Tronks: How?
<2> Nanuq: you would consider it, even if it got much better
<4> Tronks: That's as opposed to not considering it.
<0> Er, yeah.
<3> btw i got a new laptop
<0> if I were biased, I would never consider switching. I keep telling you I run what I consider the best available. I re-evaluate what I consider so, time to time.
<3> dell dual core
<4> tavi-san: male birth control edition?
<3> first thing in romania that didnt cost 45% more than in other .eu countries
<2> Nanuq: ok, i got it
<2> Nanuq: now, do you see some light at the end of the tunnel?
<0> tavi-san: geez, and here I am stuck with old hardware
<3> We regret to inform you that your eBay account has been suspended due to concerns we have for the safety and integrity of the eBay community.
<3> "Abusing eBay" of the eBay User Agreement states, in part:
<3> MOTHER ****ERS!!!!!!!!!

<2> Nanuq: i guess you don't like to feel guilty
<3> Nanuq: i had to take a bank loan for that
<0> Tronks: Guilt runs my world.
<2> :D
<3> but i couldnt use the damn CRT monitor i had anymore
<3> my eyes were bleeding
<5> literally?
<2> Nanuq: are you expecting a lot from Vista?
<0> tavi-san: what'd you do?
<3> Nanuq: nothing
<2> Nanuq: are you even expecting anything?
<0> Tronks: Nope. It's more of the same.
<3> i just logged in to shanta and checked my email
<3> and saw that, i was like OMG
<5> tavi-san: After having gotten an LCD to replace my old CRT, well I could *never* go back to a CRT
<3> Nanuq: i think it's just me being .ro
<0> Tronks: You keep on forgetting that I'm no MSFT fan.
<2> Nanuq: oh, ok, sorry :P
<0> Tronks: You have me lumped in with the droolers that wait for every fart Ballmer has to share.
<1> I have already taken Vista for a test drive for a few clients, I like it better than XP...
<2> Nanuq: but I'm trying to point that the MS alternative will eventually be over
<5> Tronks: MS doesn't look to be going out of business any time soon.
<0> Pizbit: You know for me, it's not the image quality itself, though that certainly is superior.
<5> Nanuq: Yep
<0> Pizbit: It's the fact that this TFT takes 1/3 the power, and doesn't heat the room up.
<5> Nanuq: Heh, my room could do with the extra heat.
<0> Pizbit: Oh us bears can't stand heat.
<3> Pizbit: im FED UP WITH HEAT
<2> Pizbit: they don't look, but they will
<3> 36 degrees celsius every day
<3> im melting
<0> Pizbit: Oh, plus I don't need to stress over where to put the monitor.
<6> hmm.
<5> Tronks: I'll sell all my stock right away then on your say so
<0> Pizbit: I can actually have my desk flush against the wall now.
<5> Nanuq: Yeah, the space it freed up was amazing
<1> Nanuq: did you hear about my duel-touchscreen setup?
<5> Nanuq: *nod* having to put my desk against windows for the extra depth was a pita
<0> Tronks: I don't have an upgrade path, I guess.
<2> Pizbit: People are tired of MS
<0> Pizbit: against windows?
<2> Pizbit: and their image is getting worse every day
<0> Pizbit: you had the arse end of your crt hanging out the window?
<1> Tronks: buisnss' will still use MS because it's all they know
<5> Nanuq: Windows, over here at least are inset against the wall
<5> No
<0> Pizbit: does rain not concern you?
<5> Hehehe
<5> Nanuq: Not really, work picks me up and I work inside:P
<2> Emerson: information spreads very quickly these days
<1> Tronks: and as long as buisness uses it, home users will too
<0> Tronks: I might have to settle for what exists. I just might get annoyed enough to fix what I consider lacking.
<2> Emerson: they will eventually know the alternatives
<5> Tronks: Wow, does the internet have anything to do with it?
<0> Tronks: But I just like to keep putting such things off..
