Mine too! I bought the movie because I liked it so much.Prompted me to watch "The Outlaw Josey Wales" again. My favorite Clint Eastwood move.
Your opinion is wrong and I did not speak specifically about Linux. I think you know the behavior of teenagers, in which case you should understand what I meant... But yes, I know we must avoid the generalities and fortunately there are some teenagers who are relatively good/serious persons.monkeyboy wrote:Seriously, this is a classic example of age bias. I know teenagers who are drop dead serious about Linux and lumping them into your "not serious" group is an insult in my opinion.

Come on dude, re-read my post. I have just said: "Using words such this should be reserved to teenagers". Where in this sentence there is a word about Linux except in your mind? Anywhere. It was just an expression with a reference to the teenagers' usual behavior. No Linux here. "You post it you own it."monkeyboy wrote:Come on dude read your post. Your on a Linux board, posting on a thread about Linux and calling people "Linux/(Free)BSD fanboys" and now you want to say your reply was not about Linux users? You post it you own it.
I don't know your age but if you don't know the usual behavior of teenagers, then we can nothing for you. It's serious, doctor!monkeyboy wrote:I cant read minds so why don"t you fill me in on what you meant about teenagers?
Nope. It is what I meant but I just added this sentence precisely to avoid reactions like yours. I say, see above, "usual behavior". But usual is just usual, and of course, and fortunately, some are somewhat "not usual". So I just made clear that I did not put everyone in the same bag.monkeyboy wrote:Here it is again, where what you posted is not what you meant
I have a HP that came from the factory with Vista installed......slower than a snail....I then installed Mint on it and it has been working fine and fast..oysterboy wrote:On my wife's computer, Windows XP SP3 is excruciatingly slow (even after a clean install - it gets worse afterward!). Linux distributions that I have installed on it (openSUSE, Linux Mint) are much, much, much faster - no comparison.
My nephew bought a HP computer a couple of years ago with Vista Basic. He had so much trouble with it he finally threw it in the trash after removing the hard drive and memory.exploder wrote:colyn, I bought an HP computer a couple of years ago, Vista ran so slow that I wiped it out and installed Linux Mint on it after looking at Vista for about 10 minutes! Mint ran nice and fast, too bad a lightning strike destroyed that computer.... It's interesting how you and I both had the same experience.
Yes, OK. But for both, your HP computers had Vista... And Vista was not a good release. Vista was a failure. XP SP3 is quite good and stable and so is Win 7 too. Not sure if you had had Windows 7 your experience would have been so bad... Of course, you would also installed Mint since it's your baby for choice.exploder wrote:colyn, I bought an HP computer a couple of years ago, Vista ran so slow that I wiped it out and installed Linux Mint on it after looking at Vista for about 10 minutes!

I was thinking along the same lines.lmintnewb wrote:Errrrr ... based on only limited experience would have to conclude linux isn't slow.
