No...that's not part of the definition.  In fact some viruses are specifically
designed to GROW without bounds and/or be inefficient.

Windows does the job it was designed for: Corrupt user's data, and
keep the dimwitted moron's expectations so low that they are easily
impressed by a whole 36 hours of continous uptime.

  How do you make money in a Linux shop?  You are a sysadmin (even
windows needs these guys, so much for ease of use), you program in Java,
Perl, PHP, C++, database admin/developer, etc..., pretty much the same
way that you make money in a win shop.

  I am in the process of setting up a business.  I will be using Linux
servers and using state-of-the-art software technologies.  The
workstations will also be Linux, with a couple of boxes to test
winclients on (web-based interfaces--should not be a problem).  All of
the skills mentioned above will be needed for my project and I will be
hiring people to do these jobs.  So, how do you make your living?

   Did you fail to read the name of this newsgroup?  A nominal
installation of any version of Linux does not take up nearly 1.5GB of
disk space.  I challenge any of you winzealots to install W2K and
install the number of different packages that I have installed with SuSE
7.1 (the best Linux distro on the market) and use less disk space than
what I needed to use.  If you like, I can email you a list of my
installation.  Of course, you cannot afford the software that you would
need to purchase to get an equivalent system up and running on W2K. 
Also,  I have installed multiple instances of similar products, in order
to test them and decide which are best for me.

  When you are posting to a newsgroup, there is no benefit to HTML
encoding.  You simply add to the problem of wasted bandwidth.  In most
places outside of the US, the flatrate is non-existent, by the way, and
it costs these people more to read your crap than if you simply posted a
text file.

  I get so tired of hearing about "regular joe user" being able to use
windows.  Why do all of my friends, family and acquaintances have to
call me to help them get something set up on their windows box?  Linux
is just as easy to install as windows is (check out SuSE).  For either
installation, certain knowledge is required that joe user simply does
not have.  If there is Linux support for the hardware that you wish to
install, reading the INSTALL.txt file will help you get it up and
running.  Much software these days is just as easy to install under
Linux as Win(any), since many software producers now use "Install
anyhwere."  Most of the time, simply accepting the defaults for an
install are just fine.  When you do not wish to use the default values,
specifying other directories (oops, folders--how stupid) is just as easy
under Linux as Win(any).

Why are you so obsessed with guns? We were discussing freedom of movement,
not freedom to possess guns.

So, let me get this straight, you were lying about women in
Arabia being better off, in order to win another argument? How
cheap.

  Spoken like a true MS freak.  BG knows what is best for you and, by
golly, that is all you will be able to do with your box.  MS assumes no
responsibility for your computer if you actually try to use it the way
that YOU want to.

  Would you care to help me out, then?  My daughter wants to play Tomb
Raider on her W2K professional box and it will not run correctly.  There
are many other game programs that simply will not run on W2K and I dread
the thought of having to put Win98 on her box just to have to reinstall
the OS every three months.

  Nope. If that were true, I should have been able to install the
incorrect version that I downloaded.  I d/l'ed DX8 for Win98 by mistake
and it definitely would not install on W2K.  I had to go back and get
the W2K version.  No problem for my DSL connection and Linux, though :)

  So you play maybe three different games with many different
titles--big deal.  MythII runs great on my Linux box (Diablo 2), Quake 3
exists for Linux, Civ CTP runs great on my Lnux box, ports of other
titles that you mention are on the way--check out the Loki website.

  A problem with a W2k driver for my DSL provider caused W2K advanced
server to lock up.  Nothing would help, except the familiar reset button
that winusers have come to rely on.  Where was the improvement?

opinion. Only in your mind can opinion be a negation of fact.

I'm pretty sure everybody reading me understand exactly what I was trying

Individual servers do not have 99.999% uptime.  That's only with a cluster
of 5 or more.  (read the fine print)

This means that in any cluster of Lose2k Data Center, M$ fears that there
will be MORE than 5 minutes out of each year when 4 out of the 5 machines
are all crashing, crashed, or rebooting.

Hope that helps.

Mafia$oft has a 20-year reputation of making unfounded claims.
Mafia$oft advocates have an almost equally-long reputation of
mouthing Mafia$oft's unfounded claims, even when their OWN EXPERIENCE
contradicts what Mafia$soft claims.

Of course, this only works with the truly stupid.  Smart people say
"what the fuck, the OS isn't living up to what Mafia$oft says it would"
Stupid people buy into the "Well, that's just because your machines weren't
being set up and administrated by properly-trained, intelligent personnel"

At that point, the stupid person, knowing, deep inside, that he really
is stupid, is afraid to speak up and say "but I *DID* do what I was 
supposed to do", in fear of being exposed for not being as smart as
his co-workers think he is.

But, you see, that's the gist of the stupidity...because, in fact, there
is NOTHING that *ANYBODY* can do to keep Mafia$oft OS's from performing
as advertised.

If there was, then Mafai$oft's own servers, at least, would produce the
performance and reliability that Mafia$oft claims.

But, for some straaaaaaaaaaange reason, which the typical Mafia$oft
droid *never* questions,....Mafia$oft themselves can't get it to work
as advertised.

Q:  What does this tell you?



Hope that helps.
