linux, and its way to oblivion
Jumping on the "decade ending linux review" bandwagon of moronic fluffers, only headed in the different direction. Not to mention the fact, that the decade ends next year, but who cares really. This entry was inspired by the "15 game-changing moments of the decade" article of a lamer magazine. The idiot who took his time to pester us with his blind stupidity lists the following items as such:
January 2001: Linux Kernel 2.4
You're totally correct on that, 2.4 was THE kernel that changed the game called Linux. It was the precursor of the massive amount of idiocry arriving with 2.6, like the first annihilating (linux wording: evolving) of the memory management. I remember I had to back off using swap because Linux swapped out everything and never bothered to clean it up. Then I backed up all until 2.2, and all was good. By the time the idiots fixed it and I tried 2.4 again, they began to fuck up the out-of-memory-killer. It actually took 4-5 good years to get it right after that, all because the kernel strongmen had their own fucked up heads-in-the-ass ideals, and they shouted at everyone who thought he knew better. Oh and there was the DONTUSE kernel. You think that's something, but they only thing that's different nowadays is that they don't have to flag the broken kernels, because they have flagged the whole release process as "development, use at own risk". Now that is rich.
May 2001: Nvidia releases binary drivers
Again, dude got it just right. Before that, there was 3dfx, and it was good. There was official Linux support, with a 100% working and supported driver, which drove all their cards. Nobody bitched about nothing, because everything just worked. Linux was a true workstation. Nvidia fucked that up for them, so go ahead and shed your thankful tears, moron.
June 2002: Gnome 2.0
May 2002: OpenOffice.org 1.0
March 2003: SCO's lawsuit against IBM
Where's the famed linux in all this?
April 2004: X.org 1.0
You realize you're actually celebrating a license-fork. Oh, by this time I've already switched to Mac OS X Panther, because contrary to all these idealist young fanbois I could detect a spreading brain cancer as such.
October 2004: Ubuntu Warty Warthog
Yea, the nigger Ubuntu-phenomenon just sums it all up. Pack up a steaming pile of shit, brand it with lame names for lamers. Gain fame and money on the mindless masses, that always works. PROFIT!
November 2004: Firefox 1.0
Again, where's teh linux? The overwhelming majority of Firefox users use Windows. Not to mention the fact that the old Opera 9 was faster, more feature rich (first tabbed browsing), and overall more usable than bugfox even nowadays.
April 2005: Mandrake becomes Mandriva
He lists this because it was irrelevant. Drop that heroin needle!
January 2006: First release of Compiz
Yea I remember this, a mate of mine was constantly asking for my help on how he could set it up. When I did, he was in extasy, until I told him that I already have compositing desktop on OS X for at least 2 years. AND the cube, and without the much-hyped wobbly-windows shit. In the end he had to disable the whole hunk of goo because XVideo video playback was unusably slow. Linux's hardware support was already declining for about 5 years now. This trend will never reverse, and paired with the stubborn idealism and sheer stupidity of the kernel development kindergarden, it will end in the much awaited disappearence of Linux.
June 2007: GPLv3
January 2008: KDE 4.0
Yeah, more braindamage coming right up. An even more viral license which now even tries to spread on your hardware (specifically made for TiVO by the Stallman jew), and the famed KDE release which caught up with kernel 2.6 in terms of releasing a stable version that breaks literally everything, branded as "this is the right way to do it!".
February 2008: The Asus EeePC
I took pity on my aforementioned mate and his constant struggle with the zappy+masky shit called Gentoo, and gave him a Windows 7 install media. He's a happy user now. So yes, eeePC is nice, if you're not a total ass by ruining it.
September 2008: Android 1.0 SDK released
Nobody cares. I use iPhone, and developing software on Linux-driven devices (note the intentional missing of the phrase 'powered') makes the fellow developers cry like a baby in boiling water. Sometimes even the promotional videos of such devices provoke this phenomena. Keywords: lag, slow, broken.
April 2009: Oracle buys Sun (MySQL)
WTF @ linux.
And I'll finish this text of Greater Wisdom with my thanks to our favorite idiot: Gabor Micsko alias trey, the head of hup.hu, the suckiest Ubuntu fanportal on the hungarian internets. He argues that getting a SoundBlaster card working required a great deal of expertise. Well you got it all wron'! Back then it was simply modprobe sb (maybe specify the IO/IRQ/DMA values), and all was good. Now you have alsa/pulse/jackshit, and THAT really is not simple.
But hey, trey is actually a good guy, since as long as people like him are alive, the IT business will continue to spawn more and more hordes of unusable Linux-maniac idiots who can't do jack shit when serious fucking business comes around.
This is the end of 2009, and you've been reading the web's only VMS hosted Linux©® and Holocaust©® fan portal (they are actually similar in being terribly overrated). Get a life already, blogs suck. And now get drunk and shag wasted chicks, happy new year to me, and unhappy slow death to all of you.
