Beware of Upgrading Your Computer

[Justin]

First hoop: WPA

I know what your TRYING to say but it's all BS. This was not a hoop that I
had to jump through. I've had to do nothing because of this.

Second hoop: WGA

I know what your TRYING to say but it's all BS. This was not a hoop that I
had to jump through. I've had to do nothing because of this.

Third hoop, being as you're using Vista: SPP

I know what your TRYING to say but it's all BS. This was not a hoop that I
had to jump through. I've had to do nothing because of this.

Fourth hoop, again, being as you're using Vista: DRM.

I know what your TRYING to say but it's all BS. This was not a hoop that I
had to jump through. I've had to do nothing because of this.

Have a nice day MS hoop jumper.

What hoop? I turn on my machine and it works. I'm able to do anything I
want, when I want. No restrictions.

You've had to activate.

You've had to prove your copy of Vista is genuine.

I know what your TRYING to say but it's all BS. This was not a hoop

Not really sure about how SPP works. Can you enlighten me?

Try burning a CD and then emailing the MP3 to a friend.

Sure. Change your NIC three times and see what happens.

I use linux server for application servers/appliances. I am an avid
linux desktop hater. Every time I try to give linux desktop an honest
go I become greatly disappointed in it. If fails me every time.

I don't believe you use a Linux server package for application servers and
appliances.

As _everyone_ knows, because you told us just yesterday, "The cost to
run/manage linux is MUCH MUCH MUCH more expensive."

How you can successfully run Linux servers and NOT a desktop Linux is far
beyond comprehension, akin to being able to configure and manage MS servers
and not be able to use XP/98/Win2K Pro.

You're an idiot and you prove time and time again that you simply do NOT
understand what you read.

That conversation was about linux DESKTOP.

You do know the difference between a workstation and a server right?
Actually, I don't think you do. I think you know squat seeing as how you
tried to pawn off a THIN CLIENT article as a DESKTOP article.

How about you just give up?

How you can successfully run Linux servers and NOT a desktop Linux

Oh, so you did pickup on the desktop part. That doesn't explain your
nonsense above. So you really can't figure this out? Are you serious? A
handleful of servers versus over 300 windows desktops. ???? Are you really
this stupid?

The servers we have that run linux, do so for very specific reasons. Some,
we had no choice. They simply come that way. We're able to weight the good
and bad and in server level environments linux shines in a couple areas.
You're just going to have to deal with that theory.

is far
beyond comprehension,

Most things are for you aren't they?

akin to being able to configure and manage MS servers
and not be able to use XP/98/Win2K Pro.

akin to able and not able? Confused aren't you?

 

[Justin]

You've had to activate.

No I didn't. 100% seamless. I never had to do anything. Many applications
need to be activated. Yet you only cry about MS. Hum....

You've had to prove your copy of Vista is genuine.

Wrong again! It’s called installation and registration. No different then
plugging in a serial# and it checking the internet that it’s valid. Only
thieving pieces of crap need to worry about it. Which leads us to wonder
why you worry about it???????

Not really sure about how SPP works. Can you enlighten me?

Why the hell would I do that? Change your headers and your name and ask.
However it's good to know that ATTEMPT to discuss things of which you know
nothing about. Good one!

Try burning a CD and then emailing the MP3 to a friend.

That doesn't make any sense. You want me to burn an MP3 to a CD then do
what with the CD? Then go back to the MP3 and email it?

Or did you want me to burn the MP3 to a CD then turn around and make an MP3
from the new CD?

I can tell you right now that I can do all of that. I've burned many CDs as
I travel often and I have no problem emailing anyone anything.

Sure. Change your NIC three times and see what happens.

Change the physical NIC? Swap out the card with something else?

1. All my NICs are built-in it so that's not even possible.

2. Why the hell would anyone do that? You buy such cheap crap that it
breaks on you that often?

Look, you making gross generalizations about subjects, and then picking

No theory, it's a fact, and you have found that Linux does shine in some
areas. As MS may shine in certain areas as well.

No you are confused and obviously didn't comprehend the use of the word
akin in the FULL sentence, that you improperly snipped....(again)...

"How you can successfully run Linux servers and NOT a desktop Linux is
far beyond comprehension, akin to being able to configure and manage MS
servers and not be able to use XP/98/Win2K Pro."

It was an improper snip because the entire context of the sentence is
unclear without seeing the first part before the comma.

The use of 'akin' above is to show a relation between the first part of
the sentence and the second part., which, when viewed in full, can be
completely understood by 99% of 5th graders.

(Of course now when you ask me where I came up with my 99% number, I'll
just have to say that 'I just pulled it out of my Justin !')

 

[DanS]

By now you should realize that Frankie is just a
disturbed kid. <snort><fart><snort>

What I'm really wondering is what's with all the <snort><fart><snort>
stupidity ? And why do you insist on doing that ?

 

[Justin]

You prove time and time again you can not say anything at all w/o

Well, you're now added to the list. So now there's adum, alias and you. So
your statement as it stands is wrong. Once again.

Look, you making gross generalizations about subjects, and then picking
out specific details later on to disprove eveything is getting old.

No I don't. That conversation was about DESKTOPS, you simply screwed up and
addressed the wrong thing. Again, much like the thin client goof up.

More misunderstanding on your part. Who told you I can not run "A" linux
desktop? Which conversation are you addressing? You cross thread often
which creates most of your BS. If you're going back to which costs LESS to
run then what does that have to do with getting something to work?

No theory, it's a fact, and you have found that Linux does shine in some
areas. As MS may shine in certain areas as well.

See, this is where you get all confused. Linux SERVER. You cry above about
not being exact in each post then you continue to generalize yourself? You
wonder why I call you an idiot?

I can assure you that if I had to run 300+ servers, the good would not out
weigh the bad as it would be cheaper to then run Windows. Learn to keep
things in context.

No you are confused and obviously didn't comprehend the use of the word
akin in the FULL sentence, that you improperly snipped....(again)...

Again? Do we really need to go back and embarrass you again on how you
THOUGHT something was snipped when it wasn't?

The plain simple fact of the matter is, I couldn't possible care any less
then I do right now about this particular comment.

It was an improper snip because the entire context of the sentence is
unclear without seeing the first part before the comma.

See above.

Hum...are you sure you're not adam? You both have a disgusting interest in
imagining various rear ends. The fact that you've named your rear end is
proof that you have a much more intimate relationship with your rear end
then most others. You have fun with that.

 

[Adam Albright]

Well, you're now added to the list. So now there's adum, alias and you. So
your statement as it stands is wrong. Once again.

Say Justin, you remain too stupid to understand respect is something
that must be earned. Since you respect nobody, nobody respects you or
accepts anything you claim in your usual wild rants. One of life's
lessons kid. Too bad you're too stupid to learn it.

What do you call some bozo that says he put you in his kill file and
obviously still reads every word in every post you make?

1. I don't "expect" anyone to respect me.
2. That's exactly why you are not respected here.
3. Who the hell was talking about respect? Did you feel left out and had to
invent something to enter the convo?

What do you call some bozo that says he put you in his kill file and

Another invented topic?

 

[DanS]

As long as I'm not on a list wih you, that is fine.

No I don't. That conversation was about DESKTOPS, you simply screwed
up and addressed the wrong thing. Again, much like the thin client
goof up.

No, the conversation was about Linux. My original statement was about
initial cost of workstation licenses.

More misunderstanding on your part. Who told you I can not run "A"
linux desktop?

You said that in this post: (e-mail address removed)

"I use linux server for application servers/appliances. I am an avid
linux desktop hater. Every time I try to give linux desktop an honest go
I become greatly disappointed in it. If fails me every time."

Which conversation are you addressing? You cross

It makes no difference that you said this in a different part of THIS
thread. If you said it, you said it.

If you're going back to which costs LESS to run then what does that have to do with getting
something to work?

Several posts ago, I said I thought it would be a wash. That was when you
stated... "The cost to run/manage linux is MUCH MUCH MUCH more
expensive."

Of which you have no proof anyway, or have provided no proof.

You ask for proof of what I say, but show none yourself for your claims.

See, this is where you get all confused. Linux SERVER. You cry above
about not being exact in each post then you continue to generalize
yourself? You wonder why I call you an idiot?

I can assure you that if I had to run 300+ servers, the good would not

to keep things in context.

It's easier and cheaper to run 300 Linux servers than 300 MS clients is
what you are saying ?

Again? Do we really need to go back and embarrass you again on how
you THOUGHT something was snipped when it wasn't?

No, it was absolutely snipped. How can you say that when it's out there
for the world to see ?

The contents of your post was exactly.....

[Justin]

as I'm not on a list wih you, that is fine.

Awe.... It's ok. I love you anyway.

No, the conversation was about Linux. My original statement was about
initial cost of workstation licenses.

No, it's wasn't. Go back and read.

You said that in this post: (e-mail address removed)

"I use linux server for application servers/appliances. I am an avid
linux desktop hater. Every time I try to give linux desktop an honest go
I become greatly disappointed in it. If fails me every time."

No, that is NOT what that means. It means exactly what it says.
Disappointed and fails me. By your dumb logic just because a KIA Rio
successfully runs then it MUST be able to win the drag race? More BS!

The desktop RAN fine but linux still failed me. Will you be able to figure
that out?

FYI, a search on that link in gg takes me to your last post. Maybe some day
you'll learn how to link info:

http://groups.google.com/groups/[email protected]

It makes no difference that you said this in a different part of THIS
thread. If you said it, you said it.

Well, read above I already threw your BS out the window.

Of which you have no proof anyway, or have provided no proof.

Whose ROI do you want? I don't need to provide proof. It's all around you.
It's the reason most business do not implement linux to begin with. Or do
you want us to believe that most business are comprised of idiots? That
they perform no ROI research and have all f'ed up? Take your pick and
that's the one I'll laugh at.

You ask for proof of what I say, but show none yourself for your claims.

Again, read above.

It's easier and cheaper to run 300 Linux servers than 300 MS clients is
what you are saying ?

NO! You fail. If you don't get it by now then you just wont get it.

No, it was absolutely snipped. How can you say that when it's out there
for the world to see ?

Oh really? Then how do you explain the post that specifically addressed AND
QUOTED what you THOUGHT was snipped? You are pathetic. For everyone's
amusement:

http://groups.google.com/group/micr...windows.vista.general&rnum=4#72397623f9c2ab2e

In that link you will find a post from dans which says:


But then looky here. Here's the post he claimed I snipped it:


OH MY!! what it that we see? The exact text he claimed I snipped. You'll
also note that I COMMENTED ON IT.

The plain simple fact isn't that you couldn't care less, the simple fact
is you did not comprehend what was written.

Keep telling yourself that.

I am Adam as much as you are Eve.

That's a disgusting fantasy you have there. You should keep it to yourself.
Why do these thoughts pop up in your head? Yuck!

No, it's not, although I am sure that MS would be delighted if you paid

Explain to me why it's not. "No it's not" does nothing to prove your case.
Do you scream at the cashier every time you go shopping because there are
cameras in the ceiling?

I can hear you now "WTF are you WATCHING ME FOR??? You assume I am
stealing? Why not just leave a drop box at the door so I can leave my money
there after picking up all my groceries."

understand a plain simple analogy. So sad.

"MS would be delighted if you paid them every time you took your Windows

So you claim the store example is no good yet you try to get us to believe
this pay per use garbage is valid? Wow!

So you claim the store example is no good yet you try to get us to

If you like being accused of piracy every time you update some hardware,
be the fool and comply. When you gas up, no one accuses you of stealing
the car, to use the lame analogy.
