XP SUCKS

[Wesley Vogel]

David;
Aye?
I had a couple of Canadian friends in college here in the US. They
both had to attend remedial English classes because of their spelling.

The Canadians are like us, they steal words where ever they can get 'em.

I live in a State that's the Spanish word for colored. The town is named
after a New York City newspaper editor. There's a river that runs
through town, Cache la Poudre. [While hiding their gunpowder,
French fur trappers named this river the Cache La Poudre.]

What about the chaff? )

Through years of experience it has been noted that most mistakes occur with a lack of basic understanding. Simple problems and even the so called complicated ones have very simple means. The key to understanding is dedicated reesearch in not only your current os but others. Let it be know that Microsoft has taken considerable time and effort to make things as simple as possible.

 

[Guest]

Same as your spelling then

I think the user always make mistakes, that is you. XP has been one of the best desktops I ever used, better than RedHat, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Gnome, KDE, CDE, FWM, etc.

 

[Guest]

Do you patch and update your systems?

hey, man, I used to live in Greely. It was an ok town but I
have never seen so many flies in my whole life.
Feedlots, I guess.

My Office 97 Bookshelf Dictionary gives two meanings - wheat. It thinks
colour is spelt that way but notes color also legal, esp in Nth America. It
says spelled or spelt (and gives almost identical definition as below). (OE
crashes if I paste from MS reference programs - always has on every OS and
every OE version).

My big paper dictionary (it has a 13 long word title) gives two also, the
above wheat one and how I use it. It makes no note of it NOT being a US word
(and it does note British, Chiefly British (means us Commonwealth
countries), or country specific (Americian, Australian, NZ - not seen any
canadian spellings in any dictionary, ever). It's an "altternative (to what?
) past tense and past participle of spell".

Do canadians even have their own words?

Now I can put those glasses away and avoid paper things for a while longer.

good it did!

Folks,

It really is about your needs and what you want to do with computers. XP makes novice users as computer users which is totally a true statement. You may drive a car but don't have to be a genius to crash it, anyone can. Everything has its pros and cons, even you. So, stop fighting like kids and go about do your own business with your favorite OS/Desktop/Application/Browsers and last but not the least, HARDWARES.

Cheers

"British" English (and "British" spelling) is used in virtually all
English-speaking countries, except the U.S. So there are really only
two varities of "wheat". If you see American spelling used anywhere
outside the U.S., it's probably due to automated spelling checkers or
Americans living abroad.

Even the alphabet is different in the U.S. They changed the last
letter of the alphabet from "zed" to "zee" thinking it would be easier
for children to learn
the alphabet if all the letters rhymed. Fat lot of

good it did!

Feel free to post in whatever format you deem appropriate, however, a
request for assistance may go unanswered if you insist upon deliberate
intransigence.

Are you people mad?? Obviously we have way too much time on our hands
The discussion group is about XP, not insults
Move on. Nothing to see here.

It does seem people get too excited about this, but lower case is easier to read - at least
to me it is. Otherwise, I could care less what case is used.

 

[Guest]

Ditto

And how many different dialects would you find in London alone. "King's English" (do the British have a king now?) my ass!!

It really is about your needs and what you want to do with computers. XP makes novice users as computer users which

is totally a true statement.

There are disappointments, though. I find the current security issues to be very disturbing. The concept from Win98, of making the whole internet part of your harddisk, really is a big security gap. And apparently, judging from all the patches and updates that hav to do with security, the security holes are HUGE. I'm not obsessed with security, but I know people (and nations, and their intelligence services) that are. And then we have all these worms that roam almost unhindered through the web and crash thousands of computers. The standard reply to this problem is 'well, people don't take even the most basic precautions'. How can they, if they are novice?

Btw. Funny thing happened when I followed the 1-2-3 steps to higher security. I accepted the 'setup firewall' recommendation, which immediately bumped me off from my local area network, including the local microsoft network. I couldn't even print!

But face it, Microsoft provides the least bad OS out there.
