Still, you don't need a phd++ to realize that if you don't know how to do something and someone else does, you seek help from that person an do as he/she tells you (of course it is an illogic order like "simon sez set yourself on fire" you won't do it.......unless (again) you need to be held @ an asylum for your own safety and stupidity)

And to MU_Engineer, yup, that guy is well......let's say he lacks processing power, it's "ok" to ignore what to do, but if someone else (who happens to know the guts of what you're using) tells you to do something as simple as click YES and you can't accomplish that, you shouldnt be on a college, more like either an asylum or a kindergarden

Well, he was an accountancy major, so maybe the shock of the unpredicted rattled him a bit too much...



That person should do the honorable thing and remove himself from the gene pool.

By the looks of him, a heart attack at 35 would do that 8O

Not that I'd wish that on anybody- well, maybe a few really evil people like Bin Laden or Kim Jong Il, but you get my point. He is likely to depart before he should, and it wouldn't be a Darwin award that removes him from the gene pool.

I couldn't agree more with your latter statement!!!!

Ronald McDonnald claims another one.

It's always interesting to see the uninformed populous' response when they see my presentations running on "a weird version of Windows". Some have heard of Linux but had never seen it, others weren't even aware that there was something other than Windows, and yet others don't clearly understand what exactly Windows is. It's nice to have that leeway into letting other people know there is a choice in what you use on your pc. Unfortunately I've never been privy to such an entertaining display of utter shock and dismay...

Did you saw "Supersize ME"?

 

[MU_Engineer]

I get a lot of questions about it as I tend to take my old notebook around with me to take notes on and such. 95% of the questions are "Wow, cool, where did you get that theme for XP?" I tell them it's the stock KDE 3.5 theme and came with the OS, and the OS is not Windows. Then comes the next question:"How did you get MacOS on your non-Apple computer?" It's not MacOS either- it's Linux. Now cue the slack-jawed look: "Huh? What's that?" I usually tell them it's a very powerful but free OS that can run on about any computer and is very popular with servers and high-performance uses. Then they usually slowly nod like people do when they have no clue as to what you're saying.

However, there are a few that know about it and ask if $SOME_APP (usually a DX9 game) can run on it. When they hear that the answer is "probably not" or "maybe, with some tools" then they say that it sucks as it can't play their games or run that app.

And a few give me that look and say, "Oh, you're one of $SPECIFIC_PROFESSOR_WHO_USES_LINUX's people- we had to use that in class and it was haaaaard..." Those are the hard ones.

By far my favorite situation like that started like you had said, and then a macophile chimes in with "well, if you think that's great, check this out", shows some expose' and minimizing, I promptly start up my Xgl/Compiz setup on my laptop and show him all the prettiness he can do plus per-window alpha, multiple desktop cube-switching, and the ever-popular "wobble". He was quiet after that 😀
