I was used to REAL operating systems like RSX-11, VMS... the Control Data and IBM ones, the names of which I now forget... etc... Unix was by comparison just a hack job spawned by pot-soaked Berkeley CS dweebs. So where are RSX-11, VMS, etc. now? helloOOOOOOoooo... anybody home? Yeah. Unix/Linux/*ix ABSORBED them, even though they were *superior* in design, in documentation... *nix is the BORG OS. I guess I've made my peace with *Nix, despite *its* hackjobishess... I've got Debian on two of my home machines and I've for the most point gotten it backed into a corner at phaserpoint, at least. However bad it is, *nix is a work of genius compared to ANYTHING out of MicroSuck. WinHose is just an atrocity, an abortion, a cyberfungus, a weed in the garden of computer science... you'd think Gates & Co. would be ashamed, but of course they have no shame. But I've got news for Microsoft, to wit: You've held out longer than any of the others, but regardless, all of your attempts at resistance WILL be futile. *nix got me, and it'll get YOU, TOO - Gates, Ballmer, NoChin, ALL of you. YOU WILL be ASSIMILATED.

Yeah. Unix/Linux/*ix ABSORBED them, even though they were *superior* in design, in documentation… *nix is the BORG OS.

I guess I’ve made my peace with *Nix, despite *its* hackjobishess… I’ve got Debian on two of my home machines and I’ve for the most point gotten it backed into a corner at phaserpoint, at least.

But I’ve got news for Microsoft, to wit: You’ve held out longer than any of the others, but regardless, all of your attempts at resistance WILL be futile. *nix got me, and it’ll get YOU, TOO – Gates, Ballmer, NoChin, ALL of you. YOU WILL be ASSIMILATED.
