oh lol, Casemods. Check.

But taking a brief look at your MCS posting habits and your myspace page, it appears that you dedicate a good 21 hours a day to this site and social networking sites. I can only assume that you have incredibly lenient parents, or that you somehow collect and cash your disability/welfare checks online, because there is no way in hell that you leave the house. And there’s no way that you work with the kind of time that you dedicate to Web 2.0 time-idling.

Further contemplation suggests that the lenient parent theory is the more probable, as you should know, Bill Gates himself has reluctantly admitted that Windows is less of an operating system, and more of gigantic homeless shelter for even the most conventional and common keyloggers. The windows expert you are, I’d expect you to know never to bank online, thus, I must conclude that you’re not living off disability, but rather in your mum’s basement.

Now, I think that if my entire computer time (or my entire life, for that matter) was dedicated to going into IE and typing ‘myc’ for MCS, ‘mys’ for Myspace and ‘f’ for facebook, I, like you, would not experience the frequent lock-ups, crashes, GPFs and blue screens of death which Windows has to offer. And, indeed, Windows IS targeted at people like you: What the industry has ironically termed the ‘casual user’. But for people like me, who cannot, unfortunately, dedicate their lives to updating their Myspace bulletins and spamming MCS with every passing thought (I’m sure glad we have air its so pleasant to breath), occasionally windows is less then entirely functional, Casemods.

-It wasn’t a hardware issue. I had a sleep and got everything working again with XP, and installed Ubuntu anyway, which went fine this time, for some unknown reason. Seems to work perfectly so far.

-Casemods, your entire life is MCS. Back when postcount was visible, you were the top poster by several hundred. There’s no thread here without you all over it. As I type this, you have every last comment. There’s no need to do research on you. Everyone who frequents this site knows everything there is to know about what a bland non-entity you are.

-You want an OS argument? How about this: Because I have even a modicum of knowledge about computers, I’ve spent more of my life fixing my own and others’ windows systems from viruses, mystery crashes, and any other range of problems,as well as having to reboot every fucking hour because windows is a slow fucking bitch. Or how about the insane fucking registry cleanups? You could list problems with Windows from here to Timbuktu. If there’s even the slightest chase that Linux is even very slightly better, I’ll take it, because I’ve spent too much time dealing with OS problems that could have been fixed if microsoft diverted 1% of their Japanese marketing budget for boring generic dark-corridor Halo games into bug fixing.
