windos is too controlling

[john bailo]

I just noticed something since i upgraded one of my two
gateway celerons at work to rh9.

with windos, if i press the on/off button, it goes into a
windows shutdown. or, more likely, it locks up the system.
half the time, when windos locks up on me, i have to pull
the cord from the back of it, and restart.

with my rh90 machine, the on/off button does what it's
suppose to do. turn the machine on and off.

can't Bill Gates understand that? Is he so old
and greedy, that every light switch has to be
branded with his stamp? Is he such a Scrooge that
he has to covet the BIOS and put it under his
Constitutionally illegal umbrella?

What makes people old and greedy like that????

Stop buying Emachines, then.

Guess what, Columbo, with windows you can assign what the button
does; turn the machine off, put it in standby, shutdown gracefully, etc.

Do you have a specific question that can be addressed in this newsgroup?
You may hate windows/Gates etc, but many of use make our living from MS
Software, and some of us, even write .NET apps for Linux. These newsgroups
are for those people. BTW, and I'm not name calling, but coming ot a MS
newsgroup with no real question or point, makes you look like a typical know
it all CS freshman who's listened to his professor rant about MS and while
real programmers unfairly make so much more than disgruntled college profs
(not saying they all are, but there is definitely that contingency).

You know, your Mafiasoft newsgroup may be for specific questions, but
you don't have to have a question to post in COLA. And discussing the
differences between Linux and Windows, and why Linux is superior, is
entirely on topic for COLA.

BTW, learn to post correctly.

[William Ryan]

I wasn't the one that cross posted to multiple newsgroups
which, in most circles is poor etiquette.

For the record, I like the 'MafiaSoft' quip. I'm not a
blind partisan by any means....I've worked with Berkeley
since grad school ('93, back when the only 'cool'
argument was Mac vs. Windows, back when Unix wasn't even
recognized by 99% of the user community). I'll totally
agree that once you learn it, X and X based systems are
superb as servers. As a matter of fact, I'm writing you
from a 9.0 box.

But professionalism is professionalism and the whole tone
of old boy's post was little league. If he has a rant,
so be it. Rants are welcome here too, if they have a
point. But cmon, even a 3:33t k0dr would have to agree
that it was a little leager's post. From your point of
view... are you possibly going to defend that X is better
than Windows because of the f******g start button? That
has to be the most trivial difference one could come up
with. Moreoever, that post was put on a MS Site and a
Linux site precisely to start trouble, not engage in
serious discussion. I don't think you can argue
otherwise.

Customers, you know, those people who ultimately pay our
salaries, could care less about these debates as long as
the software works. And people write a lot of good, and
crappy software on all OS. REAL PROGRAMMERS get stuff
done on any OS, with any toolset, END OF STORY. They can
write quality code in any langauge, and if they don't
know it, they learn it, and learn it well.

To ignore MS, or to ignore X is foolish, and at least I'm
honest enough to admit it.

Incredible demonstration proving that linux lusers are stupid.

1. Bill Gates doesn't make the software, nor even care, he collects the
money that you linucks crack heads are drooling over and disappointed to
see it go to Microsoft instead your lame garage business linux
distribution vendors, run by incompetent fools and high school
teenagers.

2. You can control exactly what the power button does in your control
panel power.

You stupid linux whore crack head.

Shut the fuck up, douchebag.

It is no one's fault that John shit face Bailo didn't know that he can
go to the control panel and specify what the power button does from
there, it is his fault, and you are even more stupid to argue that fact.

I won't deny that Windows can be useful, and rebooting for most
home users isn't really a big deal, I'll grant you that.

But you have to understand, my background in computing tells me
that *having* to reboot at all, just to solve problems like hung
processes, or interface glitches is just impractical and shouldn't
be necessary in the first place.
I shutdown often ... It's a good thing .

Actually, shutting down and powering back up on a daily basis
causes more wear and tear on your hardware, and it's harder
on your motherboard.

Well, having only the information you give to go on, I'd first look at
whether too many corners were cut to acheive this "low cost". I
wouldn't expect it to be resource leakage, such as that so many people
associate with windows. Hopefully the difference between resource
leakage and insufficient resources to start with is clear to you.
