    Try giving in a little and you'll be a better debater.

    For example, I don't really thwart Windows as being utterly destroyed some day; I'm not all negative when it comes to Windows. After all, in the poll I chose the option "Unix will rule half the market; Windows will rule the other half." In other words, I'm very neutral on the issue.

    But some people here would just love to see Unix utterly destroyed or never become mainstream, having not a care in the world for the people out there that have different opinions and very different needs. Some people just have this inability to put themselves in the other person's shoes. That I find to be very arrogant!

    HAVE A DAY.

The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

        Only the BAD sites do that. How can I expect to take something seriously when they are trying to install spyware on my pc?

        Tell me, do any of these do it?

        1) www.ibm.com
        2) www.microsoft.com
        3) www.oracle.com
        4) www.freebsd.org
        5) www.cnn.com
        Put-down humor, eh? If that's the attitude you're going to use, don't expect a reply from me.

          Wrong.

          People use it. People want it.

            You obviously have no idea who you are talking to.

            I do this for a living. I've used just about every freakin' OS on the planet including many flavors of UNIX. I use Linux, UNIX, and Windows at an enterprise level doing very heavy stuff.

            1) Linux IS NOT UNIX. SCO, AIX, HP, Solaris, QNX, BSD, those are all UNIX. Linux is a copycat pieced together wannabe UNIX.

            2) Of the available OSes available, UNIX is the best OS you can find for a server.

            3) Linux is a flaming piece of crap for the desktop. Choos the best tool for the job


            1) You put UNIX on your heaviest servers
            2) You put BSD on your little helper servers that you have to throw in to help administer things
            3) You put more UNIX or Microsoft on your app servers
            4) You put Windows on your desktops and Macs for the graphics/marketing/advertising people

            Keep Linux the **** out of my shop.

              Umm... lots of minis and mainframes use Unix. You want your future tax returns, pensions, healthcare plans etc calculated by hand? Or would you rather somebody keyed it into an MS network?

              Unix isn't great for home use (lack of games) but it is still vital to the continued health of the economy in general and your personal future is tied up in that, whether you like it or not.

                          Haven't changed? Well, I have a changed a little. People change all the time.

                          My opinions on things have changed somewhat. For example, I don't believe that Noah's Ark has been found anymore (but I still believe that Noah's Ark does exist, or did exist at one time), but that's a whole 'nother thread.

                                Until I can have a civilized debate with someone, don't expect my participation. If I can't have a civilized debate, I will just avoid the conversation. Insults, flaming, hatred; it's just makes things worse and doesn't solve anything. So if you want to start trouble with me, go pick on somebody your own size. I'm much bigger and wiser than any bully out there, and I'll knock you for a loop (j/k )!
