Bugger Off. Taking some lessons from DanC are you? But you did forget the
Windroid part.
Buy the way I do play around with Mint 8 I find it to work a lot better than
Ubuntu. And just FYI
I am at work so thats why I am posting from Windows.

You're the one without a clue. Just because 13 million unsuspecting people
downloaded that INFERIOR Ubuntu, doesn't mean 13 million are still using
that piece of SHIT OS. Let's say that 13 million have installed it. Out
of those 13 million, 12.999999 million have uninstalled it because they have
come to the same conclusion: Ubuntu is worth exactly what you pay for it:
NOTHING.

who is this lying POS asshole linutrd loser called alias?

alias is a drug addicted POS lying fugitive ex-patriot American criminal
hiding out in spain because he is a draft dodging loser who proly has
wants & warrants out for his cowardly weak ass. He is living with wifie
#4's relatives on the second floor of a cheap rundown apartment building
in the slums of a crumbling spanish town.
He spends all of his funds from welfare on hash and he is stoned all of
the time.
For extra money he cheats little old ladies out of their money by
telling them their computers are infected.
Otherwise, he is financially broke.
He is a known and admitted liar, cheat and a thief. He is also an
admitted bigot and atheist.
He is also the most active lying linux troll in this Vista general ng.

One other point...he thinks insulting others family members is a
"parody"...which can lead to only one conclusion...he is an uneducated
stupid ignorant idiot moron POS asshole loser.

Oh and he is also a weak ball-less COWARD hiding behind a keyboard.

This is the sick fuckers idea of a "parody"

Because first of all, they are using an IBM OS. They don't use Microsoft on
their machines. Second, since they don't use Microsoft Windows, they need
something to run. Linux is it. BFD. People who use the IBM machines use
it at work. We are talking mostly about home desktop users where Windows is
king and Linux is just a TOY OS written by geeks for geeks who can't get

Look, wasn't Titantic mostly produced like in 1996-97? That's like 13-14
years ago, Alias.

The crowd, you know the crowd, that was supposed to go for Linux? They
didn't - they dumped it for OSX.

The politically correct, haughty, estranged, rainbow coalition types all
went for OSX on those ugly white Apple laptops. You see them in the
cappuccino cafes near the universities. Linux got dumped for something
younger and sexier, Alias. You know, betrayed, as these types are wont to

Sad, eh?
