I run a $60,000,000.00 a year company off of it.
Perhaps you should do some research before you make a fool of yourself
next time.

If you had even a modicum of truth in this post I would have been willing

Instead of comparing Linux against Window$ technically,
you went to harass Linux's users. This article has nothing
to do with operating system's design and robustness.

I must be atypical, I guess. Suppose we consider your description, point
by point:
1. "mentally ill," I don't think so, but if your post is a sign of
mental health, I plead guilty there.
2. "obese 20 to 30 year old" I'm a little heavy, but not obese - and
I'm 59.
3. "highschool dropout" Nope. I was ranked 3rd in my class, had an
academic scholarship, and earned a degree in electrical engineering.
4. "face full of pimples" Haven't had a pimple in 35 years.
5. "thick glasses" No glasses, except for reading fine EULA print.
6. "no job" I've been self-employed as a vegetable farmer since the age
of 12.
7. "no life" See above.
8. "lives with parents" My 80-year-old mother lives with me, not the
other way around. I make no apologies for taking care of her. She took
care of me for 18 years. I'm only returning the favor. My father died
two years ago.
9. "does nothing but eat junk food" See #6 above. I grow good stuff, not
junk, and I eat what I grow.
10. "sitting in front of their computer all day everyday, trying to make
it do something besides reboot and show screen savers." Now you're
confusing me with a Windows user.
That's OK. It's not your fault. Obviously, your own childhood was
fraught with difficulty. I pity you, for you will never get anywhere in
this life.

Quite amusing, actually. One day they tell us it takes a computer science
degree and an IQ over 160 in order to set up Linux. The next day they
claim that only 'morons' run Linux.

There is some speculation that the OP might possibly have been trying to
start a flame war... maybe.

Hi TJ,
Are you in the USA? Do you sell any of your produce over the 'net? If so,
what is your web site? If you don't then maybe you should consider it.
Several carriers have shipping for food products if your state allows it.
FYI, my wife and I have ordered fresh cranberries from Oregon over the
'net each year for the holidays since finding a site on-line. It is great
to have stuff like that delivered via FedEx instead of having to fight
the crowds at the grocery stores. :)

I'm in the Syracuse, NY area. I don't sell on the Web. I live on a
federal highway and local commuter route and we've had a roadside farm
market here since 1961. We're rather small, just use family labor, and
we have all the business we can handle right here. Many of the local
people tell us they won't buy produce anywhere else when we're open, in
season.

Hallo everybody,
at the beginning I will say sorry for my bad english writing.
I am not a native english speaker but I think you are very friendly here.
I am bloody Linux beginner.
And the rest of my generell PC knowelege is not the best.
But I have tell you that I can work with Linux very well.
The way I can install software with the pakage management is very simple
in my opinion.
My Linux Distribution (Ubuntu) offers me everything I need for working
with my Notebook.
The Notebook is not specially disigned for Linux but it works great!
Of course Linux is not perfect but is it windows?
There are a lot of advantages Linux offers to me
- it is free of charge
- a lot of software is offered
- I am free to use it
- Everybody can find the Distribution he / she wants
- lots of aplications work with a GUI or a terminal
- some Distributions works with old hardware
- There are a lot of communities around the different Distributions
were I can get help
- If need a windows aplication it can run with WINE
I can tell you that I only needed 30 minutes minutes to install Ubuntu.
I have everything I need, a Internet browser, mail client, office suite
media player ...
So I like it very much.
hope, this article was usefullfor the discousion.
David Marien.

You must be one those people who regularly read those far left
hate-mongering liberal websites like Media Matters and The Daily KOS,
taking their every word without checking the facts first, and have
nothing better to do but to bash others who possess a belief in
something superior (Linux) over something that is KNOWN TO BE INFERIOR
(Windows). Wake up and smell the BS you've obviously been sleeping on!
