1. rm -rf /

   No more Java problems!

2. You probably mean ‘sudo rm -rf /’. Stew would never do all his work as roo…

   Never mind, carry on.

3. sudo if he’s using OS X. which he obviously isn’t, because everything he is trying Just Doesn’t Work…

4. True, true. Maybe he should try a real operating system, like WinXP. I’ve never had any problems with getting Java working on it.

5. Yeah, a little bit of VirtualPC never hurt anyone… especially when running under Mac-on-Lunix. I hear Internet Explorer even comes with a Java virtual machine… how’s that for convenience?!

   Besides, even though XP looks like arse next to an Apple, it still beats Lunix hands-down. Right?

6. *grins* It’s always fun to see how many virtual computers can be stacked up. Mac-on-lunix-on-WinXP-on-BSD-on-C64-on-Novell-on-Win2k-on-MACH… etc, etc. Hmmm. Is there a Java-based virtual computer? That could be fun. (In the same way INTERCAL is fun.)

   Anything beats lunix. It doesn’t even have a decent IM, let alone an interface worth using. Mebee if Lunis Torvaldikov went to work for Microsoft, he could learn how to create a truly great operating system.

7. Or maybe BeOS. Is there a BeOS for PPC architecture? Just get rid of Debian and Darwin, and use Be. Probably looks better than XP anyway, and I’ll bet it runs a fair sight faster. For that matter, what’s wrong with Windows for Workgroups 3.11? Didn’t that do everything you wanted, back in the Good Old Days, and run faster than your current desktop even on old processors? Maybe I should install that on VirtualPC. Is there a JVM for 3.11?

   Agreed about Lunix IMs. Kopete might be vaguely okay, if it didn’t crash all the time. XP is quite obviously the best because it runs Miranda.

8. Oooo, I forgot about BeOS. Like anyone would want to use Debian, anyway. It’s so cludgy, just like Comrade Torvaldikov insisted on making it. Anyone in their right mind would want to be re-writing the BeOS interface, so it could replace explorer.exe, from Windows for Workgroups 3.11. That is a feat truly worthy of the open sores community.

9. of course Mirana is teh triumph of closed source, capitalist proprietary software over that evil open-source clients by those big, horrible communist IM states.

   but smeg it, what was really that wrong with a tape of BSD UNIX? (and i’m not talking 4.3 here)

10. Wait, I forgot about something that decides, for certain, that XP is the best. What other operating system allows you to unmount every drive, including those are in use, such as system volumes? Any that doesn’t needlessly restricts you. With the Mac, sometimes it’s a struggle just to eject a damn CD.

    Yeah, that’s it! Beshell.exe, Begdi.exe, and so on… it would be wonderful! And, make it POSIX-compliant, and 64-bit! Then Stew’s java stuff will work.

11. and besides, anyone not flipping switches on the front of their self-made machine with only LEDs for output isn’t a real programmer.

12. but let’s not forget ‘format c:’, as you’d hate to do that to your system volume!

13. /me now laughs really hard at the title of the window “Ramblings: Comment on fucking great.”

    all the comments so far seem to ignore the title….

14. Miranda is open-source, and GPL, therefore if you ask Microsoft for the Windows code they have to give it to you!!1

    Fucking great is.

15. I am still saddened to admit that Miranda is a product of the open sores community. Perhaps the developers will see the light, and re-write it in closed sores .NET.

    Once again, we see the power that XP gives to the user. Lunix pretends to give power, but it is actually restricting the user. We see why we should be imprisoning those commie bastards as soon as we can.

    Also, Stew, forget Walnut. You should be working on Be for Workgroups.

16. now, that sounds like SCO logic to me.

17. But Walnut for Workgroups Welcome edition gives you the power of the WWW right at your nut-tips. making your powerful capabilities probably secure from crackers.

    ’cause nobody wants their nuts cracked.

18. Are you one of those anti-SCO communists? “Software wants to be free, software has feelings too, blah blah blah…” Honestly.

19. Oh, and FFS, tell flamingspork that it’s now UTC+1100.

20. I’m personally waiting until the Windows FU edition, there’s eXtra Poo already, and their Fucking eXasperating thing is coming, so they’ve got to get to FU soon

    already i can hear the actions of many, placing their pants around their ankles and bending over the car bonnet all ready for the next release……

    Longhorn just sounds like good fun to them.

21. That is unAmerican, to be offering your nut-tips to the world. Think of the children!

22. Longhorn: It’s OS X. But a few years late. And without the piles of expensive harware.

23. I think after Longhorn we’ll be running Windows Live!

    Either that, or the name will be protected by DRM so nobody will know what to call it. Good thing we’ll have hardware DRM to save us from the insecurities of the open sores community.

24. To add to pento’s comment on Longhorn = OS X: it also looks a hojillion times crapper. They use Arial, for fuck’s sake. Arial!

    AND Comic Sans MS! Hideous!

25. but Longhorn isn’t only that – it also has protection against this nasty ‘Freedom’ virus going around, and fights against nasty ‘Privacy’ worms that spread through your life.

    and sure it may *give* you piles, but at least every 13yo script kiddie will be able to then help you treat them.

26. but ComicSans MS is the height of web design – you ain’t cool if you don’t use it!

27. You ain’t cool if you don’t gots two mouse buttons.

28. It’s about time for some slogans, methinks.

    Longhorn: It’s your little brother’s wet dream.

29. you ain’t uber cool if u aint got glowing logo

30. Longhorn: grease up and prepare for entry

31. WinFS: that really smelly kind of fart.

32. Longhorn: Because we want to make sure your computer is secure, especially from you.

33. Longhorn: No more unfixable security holes through design, really. No, this time we *really* mean it, just because we’ve done it more than once, again, and in newer releases, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t trust us – because we’ve *changed* after this last wrist-slapping exercise. really we have.

34. Longhorn: more undocumented features than you can poke a stick at!

35. Longhorn: trust your heart machine to i.BBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP.

36. Longhorn: because poking a stick is now a felony!

37. Why is http://scarygoround.com/ so good?

38. because like many workflows, the absence of pants improve the output substantially.

    Fight for National Pants-Off day now!

39. 1. You people speak in another language!

    2. GET SOME SLEEP! 37 comments by you three… if you read them from start to end they make less sense / get more sad as you go on…

    3. National Pants-Off Day… this speaks for itself!

40. Users are the number one way of destroying machines.

    I’m going to patent grunt OS, where audible grunts are the only way to use the machine.

    Its the future..
