El_Cu_Guy Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 (edited) While everyone is entitled to their opinion I only take issue with Starman is that he shows his stupid (with half-assed attempts to save face) or his posts are pure flamebait. I tend to lean toward the latter. He blames problems with X or driver issue only the entire OS/distro. He attempts to prove his expertise by claiming to have used Linux since Minix in the mid-80s. Minix isn't Linux and the Linux kernel development hadn't even started yet. For someone who writes drivers for a living (hardcore Unix/NT sh*t I believe) he very well could have solved the problem. The whole Hello, World thing is funny Then there's the whole OSX v Linux deal. Yet he forgets that 1. OSX = BSD (with contrib from FreeBSD community) + Mach, not NeXT +BSD because NeXT is BSD. 2. He forgets that the work was pretty much done on BSD and Mach but Linux was written from scratch (legal issues with AT&T/USL/Novell and UCBerkeley/BSDI) 3. For all the work done already which lead to Darwin, it's development sure took long enough (dev discussion date back to some of the earlier days of Linux). I could go on and on but why? Who cares? Oh and Starman, I dub thee Flamebait! Edited December 24, 2003 by El_Cu_Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMasamune Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I use Mac, Linux and PC equally. I think each OS has their strengths and weaknesses, plus I like learning new things. One OS can things better than one of the others and vice versa. Just because you don't know how to do something in a particular OS doesn't mean you should flame it or spread lies about it. I believe people are entitled to their opinion, but ignorance is just plain stupid. :rolleyes: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Douglas Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 i think most people can see thru him, there is no way a heavy Unix user would rate a OS on its GUI. The best thing to do is to blow his accusations to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight' Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 MxxCon read this: "No Racism, No Threatening, No (citing) Victimization (via PM) or Hateful posts / Retaliation of any kind against a member, or group of members." Why put your neck on the line just to prove a point as lowly as this? You could get banned (again?), is it really worth it. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadishTM Veteran Posted December 24, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 24, 2003 MxxCon - you notified me about that thread via PM, the flames between members and it was closed. Yet you post a link to that thread and are victimizing a member based upon his comments/opinions - this is unacceptable at Neowin. Where is the justice in that?, just because you don't like his comments/opinions - doesn't mean you start a thread retaliating against him. Thread Closed Radish?
