Maes Posted April 20, 2008 [FLAME SHIELDS ON] First and foremost, I didn't post this to discuss about Linux vs Windows. [FLAME SHIELDS OFF] I just stumbled upon this interesting article: http://education.zdnet.com/?p=908 While there's nothing too original or clever about it (the author is quite misinformed), the ensuing conversation is much, much more interesting: http://talkback.zdnet.com/5206-12355-0.html;jsessionid=6FCYa5dlwI8u_JhTLr?forumID=1&threadID=31199 In particular, for a nice, cheap, fat laugh, look for comments by a certain 'jerryleecooper' guy. You will not regret it. Either the guy is a deliberate troll, or too bestially stupid. Just an example: jerryleecooper said:Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ? That sounds preposterous to me. Entertainment guaranteed or your money back ;-) Update: ah, the importance of searching through the whole story. It seems that this jerryleecooper guy even has his own website: http://jerryleecooper.com/ . Still funny though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted April 20, 2008 I'll go for him being a troll. This post was the clincher for me: JerryLeeCooper said:Its clearly evident that vista is the future. One only has to watch TV for a short period of time and see the advertising. WOW !! I personally love the part where the young man is taking a stroll in the delightful snow covered streets, and sees firsthand a young deer with a gleefull glint in its eye. It sends a shiver down my spine. WOW is all I can say. Vista is clearly the future of enterprise computing. [edit] Hmmm... I wonder if jerryleecooper.com is really his site or someone taking the piss? 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted April 20, 2008 Still funny though. The sad thing is that he is actually throwing dangerous misinformation at the gullible. Enjay said: Hmmm... I wonder if jerryleecooper.com is really his site or someone taking the piss? [/B] Probably the latter, as the title is " JerryLeeCooper.com Gems from the net guru". Unless he's so self-sarcastic to self-define his assertions as "gems". Then again, who would bother tracking all of his rantings spread all over the net, if not him? 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted April 20, 2008 It's a blatantly obvious troll and I've seen this like 1,000 times now. Plus, adequacy.org did this much better years ago. 0 Share this post Link to post
