CRITICAL WARNING ABOUT CERTAIN OPERATING SYSTEM

Fulk Upuntoo.

A word of warning if you're like me, own a Dell, Lenovo/IBM or HP notebook.
Do not install any version, variation or anything related to Ubuntu on it.
It WILL fulk your machine good and proper.

The as-of-yet unfixed bug# 43745343802 in Linux kernel for Ubuntu which
corrupts the real-time clock, and causes your machine to boot simply with
the message "Time-of-day clock stopped", leaving you unable to get into the
BIOS, boot from external sources, or do anything even remotely useful with
your notebook - effectively bricking it.

The fix? You can rip open your notebook and extract the CMOS battery, or
call manufacturer to see how good warranty is. The awesome thing about that
bug? It's in Dapper, as you can see.. but I just got it in Edgy, and
according to the comments, it was there back in Breezy as well.
The next cu**nt who even breathes Ubuntu in my presence will receive a punch
in the face. Jesus fluking Christ. In my entire 23 year history of fluking
with PC operating systems, not ONCE have I ever come across one capable of
bricking your hardware. I'd like to support the Ubuntu developers, because
from their mission statements and other crap, it sounds like they're trying
to do the right thing - but folk me, a bug this serious possibly spans three
releases and still isn't fixed? One that, to date, doesn't appear in other
Linux distro's? Get your fluking act together!

Try using the latest Ubuntu instead of a three year old distro.

Alias

One such incident is worth 100000 soft incidents with Windows.
In this case hardware was semi-permanently damaged.

Microsoft has a long way to learn from Upuntoo how to damage BIOS integrated
circuits.
Bravo :LeeNux. Next time try to fry my display.

I was referring to a several year old incident which affected my perception
of FREE or Open Sores software.
Then there was an incident with Suse, not Upuntoo, but still another nail in
its coffin in my mind.
Then I spent a nice summer week on this instead of enjoying the beach.

But even if you forget incidents like falling from your bicycle when you
were 12, the fundamental issue is free software undermining economy,
capitalism.

If you don't care for paying those software engineers who in turn buy stuff
made by othe rpeople who in turn by other stuff... so economy keeps rolling
& one day they buy stuff YOUZR company made, so if oyu don't care & instread
subscribe to Karl Marx who ruled MY COUNTRY long enough to cause the country
with world's largest depositioirs of natural resources to collapse, there's
another reason also:

Responsibility.

Free Open-Sores software is backed by the "community". Good f-g luck trying
this concept on a NASA spaceship, medical, military, power utility or even
home users machines.
Somethign free lives on only because there;s something paid for with which
it competes on moral basis. LeeNux idea is to free society from the
"opression or large coproations".
In that case I recommend moving to Mexico or El Salvador or somewhere and
sing songs about Che Guevarra.

I've lived it for 19 years, and I didn't come here to listen to Alias.

I prefer to PAY $several hundred per several years, which is really CHEAP,
to have a commercial product for which folks in Redmond get paid, and buy
somethign for themselves which my company might be producing - to
illustrate this cycle simplistically.
Software is a product just like a refrigerator or a belly button heater,
except it's Intellectual Property so it's not tangible so it's easy to
steal, if it wasn';t for piratres Windows would cost 50 bucks at most.
The prices are driven up due to piracy.

Anyways,
I want someone to get paid for their work in Redmond, I am happy to pay for
Windows.
I am happy to pay taxes.
I am happy to help the Police.

If someone wants to be a punk, please get on a boat to the country where I
came from where they had no respect for law & much of government is
corrupted.
