Clueless.


If this arseclown can give me a good reason why we should use Linux over
say FreeBSD, I may just concede the point.  But he'll probably say
something about driver support, faster development, more applications,
wider community acceptance, etc. in which case I'll just have to say RIGHT
BACK ATCHA RETARD.

Now... I'm converting/have converted most of my network to Linux, but I
know and accept that I am both gaining and losing in the process, and I
feel I'm losing far more than gaining, but what I do gain is more important
to me than what I lose (namely, it's Free (as in, no large company is going
to try and fuck me over with this), and command-line based, which is my
natural habitat).

OTOH, none of that shit matters to most medium to large companies.

And lets not forget that A) this SQL bug was fixed in July or something B)
some retard put a live SQL box outside the god damn firewall C) I read
Bugtraq, UNIX has more than it's fair share of exploits, so get the fuck
off your high horse already.
