Another word: alternative.

Sorry, pet peeve of mine. Alternate means to switch back and forth; alternative is a different choice or option.

Anybody ever wonder if "bugs" crop up in older Operating Systems and coincidentally the OS developer urges people to upgrade to the newest OS?

I can almost hear the malware writers echoing "Developers! Developers! Developers!" in the background.

If Linux was so great we it would have more then a few percentage of users. Yes, if you care to put up with the frustrations of Linux then by all means install it because it is safer because so few use it. The same goes for browsers, user's should use Opera for the same reason as Linux. Nobody hardly uses it.

Sure for everyday use ie. web,office,etc Linux is good, but until me games run on Linux (WITH OUT WINE) I'll need Windows.

VBscript needs to die, I'm continually amazed at what a steaming pile of cack it is. It's completely worthless for web stuff, and unfortunately, despite it's absolutely amazing shortcomings, it's the best tool for the job on Windows systems for non-web automation scripting due to the fact that M$ spent so much effort forcing it on everybody. Your only other choices are dos/batch(utter shit) and powershell(a complete waste of effort).

Linux on the other hand, has awesome scripting, but M$ isn't even smart enough to just copy that...


Yours Truly,
Professional VBscripter
