Son, I've been doing Linux, for a living and otherwise, since 1992.  If
you think I've erred on facts (as errare humanum est), you're more than
welcome to point out specifics, as that would help the community.  Just
calling me names is just a bit pathetic, and not an answer.

What's your basic problem, by the way?  Gamer?  ;->

As I said, you're welcome to have all of that.  As to me, _personally_,
one of my rules of thumb is that I'm willing to be hassled by either
software or hardware but not both.  And dodgy or Linux-hostile hardware
(_not_ to be confused with 'new technologies') just isn't fun.
_Personally_, I'd rather do something else with my time.

But see Lincoln quotation.  Far be it from me to say that your kink is
not OK.  That Mileage, It Differs.{tm}

No, pioneers.  Get it right, man!

Aw, have a virtual hanky:

You're new here, muchacho.  Try calming down.  Maybe switch to decaf.

Heard the standard IT joke about 'Doctor, doctor, it _hurts_ when I do
this'?  With luck, you might find that one equally objectionable.
