I got a really big kick out of the almost scripted response of

"I'm AN AMERICAN! I HAVE RIGHTS! IM GOING TO HAVE YOUR JOB WHO IS CANADAS ATTOURNEY GENERAL?"

Whenever I had to explain to them how their hardware company are responsible to make sure it works with the OS.

In a perfect world, everyone would be using linux, and intellectually damned know-nothing consumers would be silenced, or at least castrated for talking out of their asses. LOL JK

I agree that some people are flat-out ignorant fucks. My only problem is that before I made this thread I did indeed install a codec, but I hate how nobody tells you where the fuck to put it. LINUX, WINDOWS XP, & MAC OSX FTW.

Every time I saw those in a sales flier I just shook my head. I'd tell the girlfriend that there was no way in hell a machine of those specs was going to run Vista.

I remember people saying that Vista would like like shit on 1gig, but 512? "Vista Ready" was nothing but a scam.

I enter my world with a "PC" button and have never used a command prompt in my new Linux life. Not to say that I haven't had problems, but not any worse than one would have dealing with a new OS.

I do have to use Vista (via virtual machine) for school.
