Nigeria Favors Mandriva Over Microsoft Once More

[RobDee]

You can't figure it out. How surprising.

No, I will have to bow to your superior knowledge of third world countries -
only don't tell me its anything to do with the fuel - I don't get mine from
Nigeria.

Really? How do you know? Oil isn't the only natural resource that
Nigeria has. Besides, you're still obviously a bigot. Most Internet
scams originate in California, btw.

A lot of persons in the country seem to still be swaying towards
Windows regardless of the Mandriva deal.


Its another MS stinker. Linux gets the deal so lets drop our prices.
In any other industry it would be called dumping.


So an OS that is free must be the ultimate in dumping then.

Dumping is where you sell below cost price.
The cost price of an OS license is close to zero so unless M$ give it
away they are not dumping.


No in business it is dumping. Linux in itself is not a business. There
to. They don't cut their price to undercut MS.
So then it MS's cost is close to zero why do we have to pay so much for
it?
So MS is either dumping or gouging.

So what's it called when you sell a "free" product ?
Gouging ?
Scamming?

Linux wants to play big business, but doesn't like the game ?
Boohoo

Linux is not sold. Some services are sold or programs that are built for
Linux are sold.
the open source portion is never sold.
If you look at the Nigerian debacle MS wasn't making the deal with the
Nigerian gov't it was making the deal with the supplier. The Nigerian
gov't had to step in and say no our contract was for Mandriva. So MS was
even trying to slip it in under the table.

But as luck would have it, XP disc have the ability to format HD's.
Clever devices, computers are.
What is shipped on a PC doesn't have to remain on a PC.

Because Kuwait doesn't import petroleum products from Nigeria.

A bigot ?
Is that a 2 headed spigot?
Why would you call someone a faucet ?

 

[RobDee]

Linux is not free to the Nigerians.

That's not fair - why should we have to put up with it all - give them some
too!

I am trying to get a specialized copy of Ubuntu out of the country. My
family won't help me and my copy of Ubuntu for some ODD reason is worth
$2,000,000. I am looking for that special someone to help me. I will
pay you 20% for your help. Please provide your name, address, bank
account information and we can get started.

Gotta love those Nigerians

<Show some kind of proof that you know what you're talking about, when

identity theft scams and how they tracked it to where merchandise and
the money was going back to when things were rolling in -- Nigeria. The
other natural resource that Nigeria has is sophisticated scam artists.

I'm sure they import diamonds and other commodities. And how do you know
that the plastic bags you get with your shopping were not made with
Nigerian oil? Why are you a bigot?

Oh yes, plenty of diamonds and plenty of plastic bags no doubt, only they
tend not to supply them as optional extras down at the Mercedes Dealers.

The so-called Nigerian scams are small potatoes. Here's big potatoes,
originating from California:

Here's another one, from NYC:

California has been the fraud center of the world for decades, followed
by Florida and New York. Course, the biggest "legal" fraud center, bar
none, is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, D.C., USA.

Did you snip the question to hide the fact that you're a bigot?

More bigotry. Do you have no shame?

No, of course not. Reread the definition.

a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or
opinion.

One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics
and is intolerant of those who differ.

A person who is religiously attached to a particular computer, language,
operating system, editor, or other tool

Which one do you prefer ?

Spanish: fanático <----this fits you nicely.

I don't see why you say this as I use XP everyday. In fact, I am posting
from XP right now. Disliking an OS like the Vista Virus is no more
bigotry than preferring one type of shirt over another.

The comments about Nigeria, however, are blatant bigotry.

and yet , you somehow manage to get lost and mistakenly navigated to a Vista
newsgroup.
Surely you have never included links to ubuntu ... I mean , why would you do
that ?
