Maybe the ballot counters should recieve 10 whacks with a cane,
Singapore style, every time they mishandle a ballot in any way.

| Personally I don't feel maintanance should need to be as constant as it is
| with windows. Weekly scandisks and defrags, viruscans and registry scans.
The registry scans are largely unnecessary.
Scan disks and defrags I've never done since installing Win2k in
January. My system runs very well.
This is why I don't advocate Win9x. It can be kept running stably but
it's just too much hassle.
A good thing to do as well is to keep Win9x system files in it's own
partition and creat another partition for temp filing and swapping. The
bulk of the fragmentation will then be confined to the temp/swap
partition.
| This waste's too much time that could be used doing better and more useful
| things. My home box that I use linux on except for one problem (which was
| HW - dud mobo) has never given me a reason to comlain, once it was up and
| running.
Same with Win2k for me here. This is why these testimonials on Linux
don't really impress me. I need to hear about application support.
Linux's application support is still in the yellow.
| Windows usually takes me more time to get working properly. On install they
| take about the same. The big difference is that it takes me 2-3 hours to

| (this is from recent seting up of my system). With windows, to set up,
| install software, use windowsupdate, start to fix problems that arise
| because of those programmes, and not to mention the endless reboot, this
| figure is close to a day, not a quarter of one.
That's a really gross exaggeration. <vbg>
Do you reboot after each applications installation?? That's unnecessary.
Install them all and then do one reboot. Same with drivers if you have
to install them.

| And who created the registry?
| Who designed the OS that it was so easy to create "lousy applications"?
Easy to create lousy applications. It's just as easy to create lousy
applications for Linux. When linux starts having the same amount and
spectrum of developers then it will see it's similar share of lousy
applications.
| I have never experience either problem with linux, even before updating a

| choice, not so in windows.
There's not much software available for Linux. The type of users and
application developers that Linux presently has will reduce this sort of
thing. I'm not impressed because it's a two edged sword. No apps, no
problems with apps.

That's the case with Win2k. I don't fear my system being hosed by an
application. In Win98, without DLL protection and the general fragility
of the system to errant apps this is not so. I therefore don't advocate
it.

|
| Fair point. Can I have the source to try and find the problem? Oh, ok, I
| can't. Will tech support help me? No, I don't want to reinstall again.
| Damn.... Back to linux!
I move on and find an alternative because there's invariably a working
one out there. That's the beauty of Win2k. I can run Win32 apps in a
stable environment. There's a sea of apps out there. I can therefore get
pretty much what I want to use.

Actually, that precise experiment hasn't been performed yet.

By what logic?
Violent crime, including rape is down, you shit-head.

The default fonts loaded are terrible choices. Imagine having

Guess who the BIGGEST "conspiracy theorist" on the planet is?
The US Government.
Just try to find a criminal case on the federal docket which
doesn't have a charge of "conspiracy" somewhere in the mix.
Conspiracies DO exist....always have, and always will.
Or else, why would we have the word, DUMBASS.

I first programmed on Apple ][+ and paper teletypes to an IBM 370
in high school. My parents and grandmother got a C=64 for my
brother and me when I was a sophomore. My junior year, I took
it to school (with an 11-inch B/W tv) to use as a monitor so that
I could do some programming from my room (1200 baud!).
I found an EXCELLANT programmer's reference book for the C=64.
Covered EVERY special memory location, and the complete functionality
of the sprite chips, sound chips, etc....and of course, a complete
set of schematics.
I was surprised...despite the price, the C=64 was an incredibly
well-designed machine.
If only it had a 6809 rather than a 6502....:-(

premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
