Oh, and Sho.. I don't know what that crack was about people switching back to Wndows after Linux is installed, but... No. You don't get that kind of income by having someone come behind you and redo your work.

Oh, and side jobs run $175 an hour, and word of mouth travels fast and well, so again, you're full of it.

Many companies prefer to hire us freelancers over those corporate wage slave techies, we seem to get the job done right the first time more often and only get calls for maintenance or upgrades.

He runs the IT dept for a 2 million dollar company, and does side jobs just for kicks, on both personal computers, and other companies systems...

Between what I know as fact, and Sho's "links", guess whose word I'm going to take? :cool:


you go ahead and take the advice of whoever is dicking you at the moment... I'll go ahead and stick with the reality which is easily backed up with EVIDENCE.

:lol:
 
Shogun, you didn't post evidence of anything, only demonstrated that some companies are still foolishly upholding worthless contracts with MS.
 
When you do make the switch, save all your Windoze drivers in case you want to run Windoze software afterward. Once you install Wine just copy the DLLs into the Wine system folder and you're good to go. ;) However, you shouldn't need Windoze ever again unless you run video games that haven't been cracked or allow their code to GNU programmers.

Thanks but, huh?
I know the terms but that's about it. I'm 55 and I didn't touch my 1st computer till 92. Didn't buy one until 96 which means I'm basically a point and click kinda user. What I know I know from messing up 4 computers, accidentally deleting hidden system files on one and frying one (no surge protector). We won't talk about the other two.
I can take em apart and put them back together again but knowing where to locate the drivers, etc. I really don't know. Hell, I finally just updated my computers from 2000 to XP earlier this year.
This is my challenge with Linux. My software knowledge is limited, actually tried it once a little over a year ago and was so frustrated I gave it up (attempting to utilize Wine to run Win software). I'm giving it a second chance and I have one of the books I downloaded to help me this time. I have it on two of my older computers (desk top and laptop) and have installed XP in Virtual Box, a little slow on the older computers but it works, sorta.
I am a game lover so I keep the dual boot setup for now.

hey, post your evidence and I'll REPOST mine. talking shit as if you have a clue just doesn't impress me.


:thup:

You can pull links to "prove" anything you want, and someone can pull links to "prove" the complete opposite. This IS the internet, after all..

However, in the end.. Money talks, bullshit walks.

What do you do for a living again? Why do I picture you behind the deli counter at your local grocery store?

bitch, i can REPOST post numbers. go put your fucking crack pipe down and learn something.

in other words, "I FAIL Shogun"


noted. thanks.


I hate to break it to ya, hook, but working in tech doesn't mean shit. There are clueless programmers who like to hide behind the title of their position just like there are mechanics that can't rebuild a fucking carburetor. true story. I officially work in HR but I run the network in our branch office. So, I guess you'll have to get over the fact that the guy sliding his cock into you might not be quite as omnicient as you'd like to think.


:thup:


see, THIS is where evidence come in to play.. you know, instead of just nodding along to the pelvic thrust of your man's upload.

The fact that it took you less than 30 seconds to resort to more insults than anything else... :eusa_whistle:

"Evidence" doesn't bring in job security, OR the paycheck, toots. Go back to your gaming, toots. You know nothing.

:eusa_whistle:

:eusa_whistle:

indeed. 30 seconds is all you deserve when i've already covered the lil evidence part pages ago. did you want more pomp and circumstance, ****? Maybe a fucking day parade?

:lol:

and yes, evidence DOES bring job security. Hell, apparently, so does ignorant clients who would throw money at you just to make the big meany cpu thingy go away too.

go back to your vicarious expertise, idiot. I get the feeling that you'd believe someone who tells you that a cock is a usb port at this point.

LMFAO. So now it's all the clients that are idiots, and not Shogun? It's the programmers that know nothing, and not Shogun?

Dude.. You're a riot.
 
Shogut, I was foregoing posting such "evidence" simply because I believe that a person's choice in OS is like their choice in what hair color they want, and that it's your business which one you want and no one elses, but your attempt to show Linux as being worse than Windoze is plain stupid, Windoze is not a great OS, it sucks, plain and simple. There are security loopholes miles wide and their server packages are a joke. Even Mac had better server packages than Windoze back in 1990. As for desktop environments, thanks to Gnome and KDE Linux can now compete with Windoze for desktop and PCs, but the really funny part is that it's not a competition because Linux isn't owned by anyone, though many are making money off using it. Unix has always been the top of the line OS, and Linux is the free version of Unix. Again though, until you have worked with other OSes yourself you can't say shit about them. I know 10 years ago Mac sucked in stability but still had some endearing qualities, namely the fact that they actually helped you when you contacted them, but today all I can do is take those users who have tried it at their word because I haven't test driven the newest OSes from them. Take a hint, you don't know jack shit about computers, even Dis knows more about them than you do.

LOL. J says I know just enough to be dangerous.
 

As I thought, you completely ignored the news articles, completely ignored the numbers, and completely ignored the links just because you are too damned arrogant to admit you are wrong. So, have you run your antiviral program in the last hour?

You're an expert compared to Shogut now.

NICE EVIDENCE!


:thup:


seriously, snatch lips.. i've already made it clear what kind of a fucking tech farce you are. crying abut it now that Dis's labia majora comfort your quivering shoulders won't change that.

seriously.
 
So Shogut, how many people have you helped with technical questions that didn't wind up costing them a fortune?

seriously.

It becomes more and more obvious with each post, Sho, that you really know nothing. However, this is one of those instances wherein your bigger mouth does not net you an instant win by default, no matter how you might think otherwise.

You're reduced to acting like nothing but a raving lunatic.

Dude.. You're a riot.

yes. that is exactly it. By the very nature of appealing to a higher expertise it's pretty goddamn obvious that those clients DO NOT KNOW. Wow. Big into logic, aren't you?

And, again, i've posted the testimony of programmers too. This is what is so funny about your defense of koder by this point. She refuses to post nary the slightest offering of evidence and YOU act like some personal fucking opinion trumps reality as long as the guy telling you something is throwing cock at you. Seriously, that is a HILARIOUS standard you both have. And, draws massive correlations between your computer "knowledge" and the reason one should get a second opinion after a mechanic quote.
