What is Digg?1 Comments
- TheZorch, on 10/26/2008, -2/+1Sadly there are a lot of a'holes here on Digg who would try to get noobs to use these commands. Most are Anti-Linux Micro$oft Butt Buddies who are either afraid of Linux (which is 90% of the time) or just plain ignorant. The point their fingers and laugh at those they called Linux/Mac Fanboys but fail to comprehend that in doing so they are themselves Micro$oft or Windows Fanboys. Point your finger at someone and three fingers and a thumb point right back at you.
The Terminal seems like a thing to shunned or feared by a lot of people. The majority of people today have been spoiled by the Windows UI, they never lived in the days of M$-DOS and CP/M. Gamers today just install their games, upgrade hardware, update drivers and that's it but they've never ever had to muck with their autoexec.bat or create a custom boot floppy just to get a certain game/program to working. Today's users have it EASY compared to those of us who came from the Days of DOS. So bitching about Linux because they might have to touch the terminal shows their ignorance, lack of intelligence and unwillingness to actually learn something productive. The Terminal in Linux and Mac OS X both holds enormous power, 1,000 times more than the command prompt in Windows and with that immense power come great responsibility. Perhaps its this responsibility that the Anti-Linux fools on Digg are really afraid of.
I refuse to apologize for these words, you don't EVER apologize for telling the truth. This is the way it is regardless of how the Anti-Linux idiots feel and say. If this comment is dug down you'll only be proving me right and that you are wrong. The true is a bitch ain't it?
And no I won't calm down, only a fellow Linux user will really understand how we feel so don't even bother trying to tell me to do so.
