Blog Wars

I didn’t know that blogs could be at war with each other, but alas, someone's has declared war on my blog. It seems that this person has become anger with comments and posts from my blog. I did not know such a war existed, but I am determined to win!

Here is the enemy's declaration of war:

I have beef with people...there are a few out there that are taking delight in my anger. Not, pointing and laughing because I'm funny delight(although that is what is expected) but posting my comments and such in there own blog because "you don't update your blog", i mean I any who I declare a blog WAR!!!!!!! I don't know how to do this, but it should be fun! http://reospeed.blogspot.com/ the enemy (boo hiss!) Here is the first rock http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1768170,00.asp (you have to be a huge geek to get/understand this, sorry)


For those computer nerds, the article that he has put a link to is entitled “How to Kill Linux.” Grrr…

Sooo… I need my faithful visitors to join my force to get rid of the enemy. We need strategy. I guess in a blog war, strategy is completely public. Any ideas on how we could stomp him? Oh yeah, he is a live journal user, so it is sort of live journal versus blogger war. I do full except some live journalers to turn traitor and come to my team (Burz and Hash). However, to make my team stronger, I need some Xangans (Matt ) to get on my side…post comments if you are willing to join the war. We will figure out our plan later! I know I have some ex-military readers on my side, so this should be good….

For now, here is my first rock...

Maybe my knee jerk reaction to kill things is my flaw, but why don't we just beat him down? Where does he live? What's the big deal?

Am I missing the point? You have to excuse me if I did, I was diagnoised 11B years ago and never fully recovered.

For those non-military listeners, 11B is the Army designation for infantry. 11B is pronounced el-ev-en bra-voe. I was 67N, which is aviation. (Huey Crew Chief). Thom, I don't know that your first reaction being to kill things is necessarily a flaw!! Why do you think I always carry a .22 rifle with me? (even in Canada) lol.

Anyway, to the WAR!!!

The article is trash, Triv-daddy. How is microsoft, who is concerned with licensing and proprietary code ever going to make open source a part of its offering? There is no way they can take the kernel and make it proprietary! Just ask Mr. Torvalds. If they did make linux interface with Windows directly, Windows would either become Open source or be completeley hacked until it was FUBAR - big time.

Also, there is a great product called VM-WARE that lets you run Linux on Windows. In fact, Thom and I both run it. (I actually use it to run Windows on Linux) It has not spelled the end for Linux.

Interestingly, about the PNP part. There are very few devices that do not work natively with Linux now. If you ran Linux under Windows with windows drivers, the drivers would work only until the next crash!!!

Bear in mind that the two OS's have different paradigms. Windows is ease of use. Linux is power in administration, security, and configurability.

Therefore, I cannot see how there will ever be a MS-LINUX, unless the Open Source guys change, or Microsoft does. Don't hold your breath on either account!!

Thom and Wolfie, I have flanked the enemy emplacement, and raked him with enfilade fire. Now we need to set up a classic "L" ambush with claymores on the reverse slope to destroy him as he mobilizes to engage us!!

Want Linux without the hassle? Try Mepis Linux, it will repartition XP partitions (NTFS) on the fly, recognize most win modems, and automatically install any software you want out of the Debian FTP sites with a single "apt-get install X" command. Of course if you don't want to overwrite your windoze you can boot it as a live CD too!

So the real question is this: Who cares if Microsoft releases a desktop linux?

You can get Mepis here: http://www.mepis.org/book/view/1462

You are right as usual, Thom. Who cares?

Hmmmm...... I wonder what the MS-LINUX blue screens of death will look like.

Thom--

Wolfie and I have laid down some suppressing fire on the enemy website. The forward observer is telling us to drop 50 and FFE!!

Can you establish an OP on the military crest of the hill to assess the damage to the target?

The Princess Bride:

FEZZIK (trying to be cheery):You just shook your head -- that doesn't make you happy?

WESTLEY: My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men, and you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy? I mean, if we only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.

INIGO: Where did we put that wheelbarrow the Albino had?

FEZZIK: Over the Albino, I think.

WESTLEY: Well, why didn't you list that among our assets in the first place? What I wouldn't give for a holocaust cloak.

INIGO: There we cannot help you.

FEZZIK (pulling one out): Will this do?

INIGO (to FEZZIK-- surprised): Where did you get that?

FEZZIK: At Miracle Max's. It fit so nice, he said I could keep it.

So, who's got the holocaust cloak?

We need to send the Spaniard against Triv-Daddy. He could keep saying, "Chello. My name is Inigo Montoya, You kiiill my father. Prepare to die" over and over.

Triv-Daddy then would grow another finger and say, "WOULD YOU QUIT SAYING THAT!!!"

To the pain, Triv-Daddy. To the pain....

*sniff*.... Take thy beak from out my heart, Triv-Daddy. (from the Raven, A.E.Poe) The AOL comment seemed very personal and hurtful to me.

I think we have been VERY creative, Triv-Daddy. Don't you?

All right.... We will not do any more frontal assaults on your "soil".

um... yeah... said...

wow. i am REALLY not a nerd. more than 60% of these posts don't even make sense to me. wow.

blogger is better.

for those of you anonymous posters who continually ramble on in comments on rose's blog, you need to get your own! not that rose's blog doesn't need comments - it does - but maybe blogs made by you would be fun, too.

just don't talk about linux and OSs like you're going to die tomorrow.

fight the power.

um... yeah... said...

oh also i think you should post your new nerd score so people can see you for who you really are. it's time to stop hiding, rose. be who you are! embrace it! love on it!

Anonymous said...

i really have no clue what the crap all of these people are talking about, but you mentioned my name in your post...so i'm on your side.(whatever that means)

Ty:

I have been VERY up front. My Nerd score was a 97 percentile or so.

I am not sure that really surprised anyone, though. lol.

I can stop posting comments to blogs if people want, but I don't have time to maintain my own.

JB

rose said...

Tyanna???? Are you on my side or his? Be on mine be on mine!!! JB dont stop commenting...I like them.

My new nerd score was a friggin 93%..I think I will stick with the 88.

Laura...Thanks for being on my side!!!

... said...

My renerd score was an 88, which shows that I'm a blossoming young nerd but it still shies in comparison to yours. Therefore, I can claim that I am officially not nerdy enough to participate in a blog war. Besides, you belong in the U.S., a country notorious for getting in wars (not exactly for having wars declared on it, what a fool Brian is), and I belong in Australia... a country known for drinking, surfing, good weather, kangaroos, and once being England's penal colony. You guys have fun exchanging "offensive" websites, I'm gonna go play rugby or something. Call me if there's a real fight.

Anonymous said...

Sacul,

Since it looks like the offensive is going well, I think I grab a seat with you at the pub and maybe you can help me improve on my shameful 83.

BTW Rose's link to brianisrockhard doesn't go to a amature gay porn cam site. I know, the name confused me too! Thanks to Sun Tzu and Zach de la Rocha gave me the courage I needed to click that link and know my enemy.

-thom

um... yeah... said...

i agree thom. totally thought it'd be something different. THANKS FOR KILLING IT BRIAN! maybe you should steal some stuff from your work.

jb - don't stop commenting. i just thought reading yours would be swell.

ps - rose, i'm on blogger's side. since you're on blogger, i'm on yourside. bitte.

Anonymous said...

Did Sacul say he wanted to be in England's Penile Colony? What?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

BTW, America always seems to go to war because some little piss-ant country or group mistakes restraint for weakness and unilaterally punches us in the nose. Then we flatten them.

Thom. Save me a stool. I have a need for Killian's coming on.
