Microsoft Problems

[Angstwolf]

I dual boot, though I actually find myself using Vista most of the time these days. Weird.

I don't have the time lately to eff around with Ubuntu.

Wait, you use Linux for everything, and the one thing you don't use it for is PROGRAMMING?? *facepaws*

Yeah, it does sound kind of backwards...

I mean, Linux, much like UNIX before it, is an IDE...

Linux isn't an IDE. Hell, it's not even an operating system, it's a kernel. And Unix should never ever be written in all capital letters (it's not an acronym), unless you are referring to a specific implementation which meets the so-called "Single UNIX® Specification"... and then you'd have to call it UNIX®.

[Arloest]

Wow, and I don't even know what an IDE is.

This is like c8world all over again.

Technicalities... You get the point

[Doc Sigma]

I get the point and I agree with you.

But you know how some people have pet peeves? Unix/UNIX is one of mine. And I know exactly why... on one of my first days of college, this asshole professor was telling us how to write a resumé, and as an example he said "Unix is an acronym so capitalize it!" The guy was 100% wrong, and was a total prick in general, so from then on I still feel a little pain in the back of my neck when I see somebody write "UNIX" when they're not speficially referring to Single UNIX® Specification.

Wow, I did kinda jump down your throat about something so pointless. I'm sorry. What's worse is, I've almost certainly done it before, to other random people (not on here)...

Wow I don't even know what c8world is.

This is like that time I was held for ransom in the hills near Mountain Valley on account that I was believed to be Colonel Jackson T. Rockingham, the president of the Sunrise & Edenville Tap Railroad, mayor of Mountain Valley and chairman of the Perry County board of immigration and public improvements. </obscure>

To me, a kernel is a piece of corn.
