    are you very rich?

    You don't have to be "rich" to buy a Mac. Where have you been?

    And us? We're "comfortable", but I tend to give away the farm to
    causes I believe in. Try:

    https://aclu.org
    https://au.org
    https://amnesty.org

    And for those about to hit the "flame" button -- you should _really_
    get upset if I mention how many "blue billionaires" there are
    in California.

    So jojo: "If you're so smart, why ain't _you_ rich?"


    so you are rich..

    I didn't say that.

    what would you say is the most expensive thing
    you own, apart from property and financial assets?

    That's a rather personal question, don't you think?

    well.. ok whatever you are comfortable revelaing in terms of
    cost. some fancy car or painting. do you own any painting btw?


    smart is not always equal to rich, i am a poor smart person..
    well not poor exactly, its complicated.

    You're not poor if get 3 squares a day, have a roof over your head,
    and can post on Usenet all day.

    ObLinux: Does a Linux workstation count as "property", in the context
    of your question?


    workstation is work related, so doesnt count as personal income.

    but i totally disagree with 3 meals a day stuff. poorness, just
    like time and space is relative.

    The winodws LTSC IOT windows 10 version updates on newer computers
    but not on older ones. It downloads the updates but goes into error
    installing them. I converted a Chromebook 14 to windows and because of
    the small hard drive I installed windows 10 LTSC IOT and it never
    installed any of the updates but downloaded them but it worked on my
    newer computers. All were with like forced activation. By the way Linux
    is for airheads who think they can shove a square block into a round hole.

    It gets me how Windows 2000 and XP were both reasonably
    stable upon release, but *loaded* with security bugs,
    requiring an overhaul subsequent to their releases; Linux >>>>>>>>>>> never had this problem, not remotely on that scale.  M$ has >>>>>>>>>>> had some of the best minds in the industry, but their

    Any more breaking news for us?


    I didn't say it was only in that instance.  I first used
    Linux for an extended period in 2019-2021, avoiding Windows
    10's public beta test.


    Post something interesting or entertaining or haul ass, douche. >>>>>>>> LMAO!

    get a room

    You knowZ what happens these bozo's with their Linux like square
    peg in the round hole. They stare into kaleidoscopes all day long
    until their brains turn to mashed potatoes and then they run to
    the Linux shit and tell everyone who great it is after their
    brain shortcircuited.

    Linux is everywhere -- it's all around you.

    My phone runs Linux, my Fire TV runs Linux, my Roku runs Linux,
    my DNS server runs Linux, my NAS runs Linux, a couple of my news
    servers run Linux...

    About the only place Linux doesn't dominate is the ever-shrinking
    desktop market. But Linux still has more market share there than
    Sam Adams has market share of beer.

    Handheld gaming? Linux. Unless you buy that new Windows device,
    which smart people are upgrading to SteamOS (Linux).

    And where are you, Tony? Lost in the 90's.


    Only fags use line-sux and apples.

    I know you can't eat apples -- would cause a problem with your

    You would have to have any, first, dumbass. I was once a Winblows
    fanboy, too, not to say I had anything against Linux as such, I thought
    it was too hard to use, which at one time actually was kinda true, and
    still true in some respects, but that's the thing, you *learn*. You get better at it. I wouldn't touch Winblows, now.

    About the only place Linux doesn't dominate is the ever-shrinking

    That's your spin, but you're wrong, Winblows is an awesome OS in the
    abstract, it's just that the hardware requirements are through the damn
    roof, it's impractical to keep up with. Microsoft does take
    sophisticated computing just as seriously as we do, though.

    1) I really wish you wouldn't snip context. I know we played with that
    before, but c'mon...

    2) nohup outputs to nohup.out, which is part of what I want.
