The most relevant aspect to this group:

knowledgeable users willing to help guide you through the murky waters.
Of course, it's often difficult to find them through the sea of
self-righteous flamers who berate you for not knowing what you're
doing.[/quote]

Sound like people who post here? Like someone who just called me an
"ignorant fuck"?

This ignorant fuck will be looking forward to trying the HUD on 12.04. I
actually use Ubuntu and don't mistranslate the word. This is it:

How many on this forum actually abide by that instead of being snarky
sniper assholes?

Still trying to justify your mistake in attacking him to begin
with, I see.

You are *SUCH* an abject idiot. No matter how nice you play on the
come back. (which you subsequently fucked up on again as well, I see)

You failed... again.



It's interesting to me that, in your mind, when someone is wrong and I
say, "you're wrong," it is an attack. I must assume that you've never
/really/ been attacked.

And I was /NOT/ wrong in my stating that he was wrong for the simple
reason that he /was/ plainly and obviously wrong.

You're defending the wrong point of view, dude.

In article <jl4drq$dgm$, says...


His reply to me seemed to suggest that he was actually never seriously
intending to use Linux anyway so I wasted my time and for my trouble
picked up a few gratuitous insults from one of the usual crowd.



I used Ubuntu Linux exclusively for about four years.

It no longer works properly on a single computer, so I stopped using it
on that single computer.

My netbook and laptop still use Linux, although I have discovered that
my wife's new laptop is not compatible for exactly the same reason this
computer is no longer Linux friendly.

What constitutes a serious user to you?

I tried, and was not prepared to put in the work necessary to make a
domestic appliance, because that's what a home computer is these days,
do what it was designed to do when running Linux.

Two years, seven months isn't in the 'about' category when speaking of
ten years. It is over 255 incorrect.



Missed the <Shift> key. DanS, I await your comments. What I meant was
that it is over 25% incorrect.

You are all worse than the immature Zimmerman asswipe who murders
people based on his dishonorable fucktardedness.



So, you fell into the main-stream media abyss and internet hysteria too?




You are an idiot. Nice presumption there, dumbfuck.

He is an immature, gung ho twit at best. It can be heard in the 911
call.

The reporting outlet, and their opinions have nothing to do with it.
You are a fucking dumbfuck to presume they did.

You "must be up to sumpthin'..." Those were his words. For you to be
blind to what that means is not surprising.

Maybe you are a stupid PIG as well, eh?

Then dropping the ball on informing the public, and the family of the
victim is what caused the civil unrest, and those PIGs are 100%
responsible for fucking up the social fabric of this nation, and THEY
will end up ultimately paying for this mistake.

They are part of the DIShonorable side of America, despite what they
would have you believe.

There are proofs everywhere.

All goddamned oath ignoring, Waco mentality PIGS should have a shit
life. Their destination is hell, and it is a sad thing that WE have to
endure their bullshit during our stay here.

The fucking Gestapo is back, boys. And all you idiots who are blind to
it will wake up one day... soon.



Ahhhh, so you're a libtard commie-wannabe Obambi supporter, as well.



Your ability to read is fucked. Your ability to discern what you thought
you read is even worse.

You couldn't be farther off the mark. I expect nothing more from a
dishonorable,characterless fucking son of a bitch like you, however.

Figures.



You need brains to figure, dumbfuck, and you still need an upgrade to
reach that mark.

Bugger off, koolaid slurper Win-droid troll.



You need to have kool-aid injected into you. The long, slow, painful
type. Perhaps a simple molecule like ethylene glycol. Yeah... that's it.

Have a nice life, One OS Retard.
