Europe can’t get their shiity economy working, so what do they do? Leech off of proud and successful American companies like Microsoft. We need to show those Europeans that we will not tolerate their parasitic behavior.

Write to Microsoft and tell them to NOT pay the latest “You’rePeeing Union” fine.

Linux fans will whine, but Net Applications’ desktop operating systems numbers don’t lie. [Fibber’s note: Yes they can, but that’s beside the point] Linux’s pathetic user adoption numbers can’t even keep up with Vista’s (or Windows 8’s) numbers.

I predicted that Linux would remain comatose, but it’s flopping even more than I thought it would be. So, why has Linux been such a failure? Here’s my list:

  • Gnome, KDE or Unity, pick any interface and it’s still ugly.

I said it before, I’ll say it again: Whatever interface you ...

Showing that freetards are not only zealots but cluless hacks a kernel vulnerability that exists because of amateur programmers is written off as ItsOpenSourceSoExploitsAreFixedFaster. That’s why their code analysis and garbage collection is decades behind professional devs.

Windows 8 is retarded because it forces you to use touch tiles on PCs.
WindowsRT sales are slow as heck.
WindowsRT and Surface are retarted. MS is blindly chasing Apple.

Logical Fallacy. He doesn’t address why the Surface is a stupid strategy, only mentions the slow sales. He is lumping the weak desktop sales with weak tablet sales by confusing the OS names together.

Let me get this straight. Why is MS stupid for chasing tablets and phones? Last time I checked they are hot selling markets segments. Instead of telling MS to improve their abysmal corny-ass marketing or ...

Here we are, the classic FUD. We’re back in peak form with SJVN. Basically, he debunks what is a press-release research firm (see: Changewave providing for Apple PR), while not actually proving his argument.

But, but Stock Exchanges use Linux. So that proves Linux is secure. And all those times Linux got hacked in comical ways can’t disprove it.

I admit it. I made up this FUD because I was lazy to go on a 4 day google marathon to make up for the lazy loons at ipxe.

i tried to compile it on osx, but i got errors. i don’t know under which os was the friggin thing compiled, as the developers won’t answer my questions.

If anyone is interested in compiling the debug version and doing their work for me you are welcome to beat them to the punch.

If you are a university graduate, then I am confident that you have already heard your fair share of the darnedest, mind-bogglingly uninformed things said about Windows by your respective lecturers. No? Well, I have, and if you think you haven’t, then that’s only because you thought the academics were telling the truth.

I am pretty sure you know where this is heading, and I am sorry to break this for you: they were being total gobshites. All of 'em.

Let’s face it – if you teach any of the “sciencey” stuff in a college or a university ...

For a refreshing change, not KrazyKatLady but an entirely different idiot. His name is Rick Broida, and he isn’t a journalist — he just plays one on PC World…

Actually, I can give you a single reason why you don’t need the new Microsoft Office suite. You already have one that’s doing fine by your needs, thank you very much.

See? I can Microsoft-bash with the best of them. But then, I’m missing out on the delicious frisson that comes with making crap up:

A new interface means new learning.

Yup, your employees now have to deal ...

Before I begin today’s discussion, there are two things I would like every reader to notice:

  1. Piestar is gone, so enjoy the Wayback Machine copy instead.
  2. You are probably thinking about this blog entry, but, no, I believe the main reference I have got here serves better as the centrepiece of this entry. Consider this a bait-and-switch.



You have probably heard about the term: “cargo cults” were as much a real phenomenon in the post-WWII south Pacific as they are in the information technology industry of 2010s. Rather than the enigmatic John Frum, however, the IT cargo-cult beliefs ...
