Note To Self 8: Two out of three…

Note To Self 8: Two out of three…

The idea came to me when I found that the new GPL was being released the same day as the iPhone, and then I wondered what Windows users would have to look forward to. Yes I realize that not all Linux people will be as excited about GPL and Mac people are about iPhone, but the joke works better this way.

    This is too funny! I love it :)

  2. dambricourt

    awesome :-P

  3. doddo

    Thats a funny joke!!

    Nice to come up with such a joke the very same day the iphone and gplv3 are announced!

  4. doddo

    perhaps you could make a variant of your joke with the ms geek being all excited about this news (from microsoft blog) http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=543 . I know it is announced a day prior to today but still :)

  5. Aidan

    Boy is that ever true. Nothing like a good Microsoft bashing cartoon to make my morning.

  6. Eh

    Unfunny reverse bigotry. Think about it.

  7. josh

    This is totally retarded. People who use M$ aren’t loyalist. I know lots of people who don’t own macs are going out to get this phone. If only mac people got the iPhone, then it’s sales numbers would suck. Stupid fanboys.

  8. ding

    sadly for the windows users, it is no joke, my company just bought 20+ laptops for people we do business with and they’re all having to buy new copies of expensive software because vista MADE them upgrade things like Quickbooks, shows the quality of Microsoft these days

  9. Lil Timmy Son-of-a-Bitch

    …there are windows fan boys?!?! lol i had no idea

  10. Per Bonde

    msoft still suck..Apple and Gnu Rock…

    there is no reason for josh to be so rude.
    It is not hard oto see that M$ fan boys are less likely to purchase an iPhone than Mac users are.

    M$ fan boys are more likely to be annoyed by M$:s crippled CPU eating Vista OS while the rest of us thinks it is funny.

    And Eh: No offense, but using fancy words does not cover the fact that you are officially lame if you can’t appreciate the funniness of this joke

  13. Huh?

    Doddo, what, precisely, is Microsoft’s CPU, and how does it eat an OS? I have never had a CPU eat an OS…

    @ huh?
    M$ fan boys are more likely to be annoyed by M$:s {crippled CPU eating} Vista OS while

  15. English lesson

    the ^ is supposed to be under the { } along with the description

  16. root

    Hahaha! Very funny. Thanks!

  17. doddo

    Huh?; Noooo you didn’t read my comment properly, I never said that Microsoft had an CPU, I said the OS; Vista, is eating lots of CPU.

  18. doddo

    English lesson: Thanks for helping me sort that out :D

  19. i will never read this again

    ms doenst suck that much, mac is gey and linux isnt half bad

  20. Smiffy6four

    I think it vital to poke the monster that MS has become; otherwise they will only grow ever fatter and more complacent. I run a PC repair business and spend most of my time repairing MS OS’s. I have had lots of customers come in to buy Xp after only a few days of being saddled with Vista.

    Long live Open Source! I run my personal machines on Ubunutu, it rocks!

    If you can’t see the humour in the cartoon, then feel free to leave the site………….

    Hilarious! And yesterday was my birthday too. ;)

    This is funny, sad but true. I was recently recruited to e te sys admin of a very large company. the MIS mngr asked why detested Micro$loth products, I introduced her to Ubuntu, Gentoo &Suse 10., She hasn’t been the same since. Oh btw she is smokin Hot! One $loth down, millions to go. {The revolution is not over}
    else if

  23. Mike

    Java geeks could also be happy about Eclipse Europa being released :)

  24. bugahdug

    vista works better than xp though…. im running ultimate on a intel celeron d 3.06gb with 768mb of ram and its working better than xp did.

  25. Linuxiac

    M$ geeks could celebrate the ease of retrograde to XP from Vista!

    Linux still runs upto 50X faster in all processes, according to more than a dozen Computer and Trade mags, and ezines, and benchmark testing hardware sites in their shoot-outs.

    M$ has no credibility, plus, no person of integrity will deal with multiple convicted felon
    criminal corporation and ‘person’ (a first in US History!) Microsoft!

    Try Ubuntu based Mepis, or Mandriva based PCLinuxOS at http://livecdlist.com

    o.k., o.k. stop yelling!

    I’ll translate for yuh: That unfortunately is true.

    That is awesome! Yet so true. Vista is good, but is not all that great, slow, and XP with better interface.

  30. juu

    >> vista works better than xp though…. im running ultimate on a intel celeron d 3.06gb with 768mb of ram and its working better than xp did.

    … now why would you need 768 mb ram, windows xp only needs minimum 256 mb’s, and 1.6 ghz for opt. performance.

    but I don’t realy care for gpl-V3 kinda agree with Linus, but still very very funny

  36. GFD

  37. rqbhioklps

    Hello! Good Site! Thanks you!

  38. Working Tard

    Go Linux dude.

    Faget about da rest.

  39. Jim

    I am testing Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy Gibbon) and I have been really trying to break it. No luck yet. The only time I do a re-start is when the power goes out. Maybe I could install wine and then try to run some microslop and crash it. That might work.

    The message might be true but it’s still not funny
