Apparently you didn't get the memo, but I'm not stretching this debate. I don't give a crap what a *nix fanboy has to say, and that's all there is to it.
I don't take the high road. I take the correct road.
Go play with your OS, kiddo. Leave the debating to folks who can keep it in their pants.

Apparently, you have not learned anything about being a gentleman as well (or lady depending on your gender).
You really should learn to give proper references that support your argument. I don't think many here will be willing to believe anything you have to say without them. In fact, I've proven that everything in the above is false in past posts.
Basically, you can keep singing the same old tired tune. You just have to understand that just because you say it doesn't make it true. Also, saying it a lot doesn't make it true either.

Well, isn't this just obscenely arrogant of you to say

Um, you are aware this tantrum that you just had, proves everything that I've conjectured about you, right?
On behalf of Canada, I apologize for Sneaker98's behaviour (and any part that I had in this). I don't know what happened to him/her to become the aggressive, bitter, unforgiving person (s)he is, but I apologize.
Hopefully, (s)he is mature enough, to walk away and cool down before replying. Because if it is of the same type as the above, I won't be speaking to him/her anymore, here or else where as I have no time for such immaturity.

Too late to take the high road, kiddo. I'll keep saying that until you get the message. But in the mean time I'm sure as hell not going to get into a silly pissing contest.
Now begone from this thread, and stop baiting me.

Not baiting you or any such thing at this point. Just making sure that these posts stay around that prove everything that I say.
Good-day.

And that's really not good enough sometimes.
So basically the same as MS technical support then...

Lol, sometimes, yes.
Or you get a fellow with an Indian accent saying his name's Mike. *sigh* Why must they hide outsourcing? I don't care if I'm talking to someone halfway across the world, I just want some help with the product!

YES!!! That's why I hate calling SBC Yahoo! DSL support, it's always some guy with an indian accent saying, "Thank you for contacting SBC Yahoo! DSL Support, my name is Jeff..."
And not a one of them knows jack squat about what they're supporting. I had to talk to 3 different people there one day, and didn't get a single one of them that understood what port forwarding was. The crappy DSL modem/wireless router SBC gives out doesn't do port forwarding, even though I set it all up properly it just doesn't forward traffic properly. Spent a bloody hour on the phone with those tards and never got any closer to a solution because none of them knew what the hell I was talking about.

Some of the comments are priceless.

@Anyone interested in the state of Linux gaming:
http://linux.strangegamer.com/index.php?title=Game_List
http://happypenguin.org/
A special version of the "Spanish ubuntu", known as LinEx (it's not ubuntu), has been released and is dedicated to gaming. It has a GUI-based installer and allows easy installation of 3D accelerated drivers. It's called JuegaLinEx.
Where to get:
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http:
//juegalinex.linex.org/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Djuegalinex%26hl%3Den%26hs%3DyYi
%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:unofficial
List of included games:
http://apt.linex.org/dists/cl/juegalinex/binary-i386/
You'll have to install things like Wolfenstien -Enemy Territory- yourself since all the games on 'Juega' are "educator approved" (i.e., no blood-n-guts).
Linux got game baby.
