Thread: iPAD vs Tablet PC: Forget the iPAD

Buddy, Pal -- you mean, you don't even know the meaning of those words?

Oh, right -- English speaking educational system. I keep forgetting.

I don't think I was ever your pal or your buddy. I think you lied to me to get me on your side. I feel hurt. You are a charlatan and a slubberdegullion.

People don't queue for the latest Nokia or Samsung. When a new release of Slackware e.g. becomes available the geekosphere tends to get a bit manic though.

Once the Slackware_current freezes they go potty waiting for it and then seeding it all over the place, kind of similar. Trying to torrent it for the first few hours after it is released is pretty much akin to queuing outside a store.

Yeah I think Android 2.2 is going to take that kind of battering as well.

I think you just confused him.

Hey Slack you'll love this - possibly the most modestly named distro ever!

DistroWatch.com: Superb Mini Server


(Oh shit. I forgot I don't know what linux is ).

Ahem. A "friend" sent me this link.

Not sure why you'd think I would like that:

Superb Mini Server (SMS) is a Slackware-based server distribution with web, DNS, DHCP, file, print and fax servers, iptables firewall, mail server with spam filter and anti-virus scanner, and BitTorrent station. It also includes Webmin, a web-based administration tool, but no graphical desktop. SMS, which comes with Slackware's text-mode system installer, is built using Linux-Live scripts (from Slax) and can be used as a live CD for testing purposes.

Sounds like an install of Slackware's first few software sets with a few other easily installed bits and pieces added on. It looks like some Comp Sci project that has been released as a distro actually.

Anyway, we are way off topic here. Maybe you could start a thread about interesting or different distros and their pros and cons.

But it's "superb"! That must count for something!



As to Linux threads, doesn't seem to be enough demand here.

People don't know what they're missing.

Not that I'd know, of course, I don't even know what Linux is. <heh>

Once again, you are confusing the 'expert'

(Oh man, this is going to be so much fun a couple of weeks down the road)

interesting, apparently according to some study, macs users have a bigger proportion of homosexuals than other platform but Linux users are apparently the most social dysfunctional

This is sad, isn't it?

I'm calling fake. If it isn't fake it is a horrible piece of journalism, the things inferred are utterly tenuous, and I find it hard to belive that MIT would link homosexuality to mental health problems.

Also BF, the whole 'gay' schtick is getting really fucking old, it makes you sound like you are 14 years old or something. Try to get it into your tête that it simply isn't an insult to anybody except all those insecure twats who think they will catch teh ghey if they get called it.

I'm calling fake.

Mentioned in the same breath as 4Chan? Yep.

you raise a good point, homosexuality is perfectly natural and normal, agree

I think it's quite appropriate and right into the current state of things, gay is definitely the fashionable thing, like apple

who said it was an insult

^ you are becoming as boring as Jet now. Up your game and stop dialing it in..

Might as well add Barracuda to that club ... Trying to discourse with the envious, bitter and under educated does get boring quite quickly, doesn't it?

Especially when they don't actually read other people's posts, Daffy, yes it does.

What were you saying about ad hominem attacks?

Remember, throw the GRENADE, not the PIN.

I see - you object to a strategy you initiated, once it is applied to you? You don't appreciate it when the shoe's on the other foot?

How lovely hypocritical, and not entirely unexpected, of you.

so you have a problem with mac users being homosexuals ?

maybe you should deal with your own demons, gayboy

Good god Daffy, how am I being a hypocrite? I'm quite happy to use ad hominem arguments against someone who clearly talks out of his arse most of the time.

I just don't complain when other people do it. THAT'S what's called hypocrisy my "buddy". When you accuse someone of ad hominem arguments when essentially that's about all you ever seem to have.

I think I'm just going to dump these iThreads. It invariably ends up with you desperately wanting the last word.

That's probably why you end up talking to yourself, as in

Fill your boots, big man.

There you go again - is it so impossible for you to engage in any sort of rational and intelligent discourse, debating the issues, using facts, without attacking the person who disagrees with you? Where (and why) has your upbringing failed you?

I wouldn't even expect you to substantiate your allegations and statements made in the quote above, anymore. I've just given up expecting rationale and honest debate from you -- honestly, you are just scrapping the bottom of the butterfly barrel (and it is of no surprise to see cozying up to him).

Sad, really.

yes, why don't you leave? Scampering and running away seems to be your best option at this stage, isn't it?

Heard about the HP ISlate and it looks very good, but rumors say it is dead in the water. At least for now!

More likely to surface as a WebOS platform.

But there are several Android gizmos in the pipeline.

I anticipate a flurry of releases in time for the holiday season.\

C'mon BF, you can do better than that. Sheesh, that was a weak-arsed response even by your feeble standards Monsieur 12 Macs and an iPhone 4.

Jet Moron tries to bring something new from time to time (she can't because she is a fucking idiot, but still) you are a one trick pony right now. Up your game mon brave.
