Anyone want to decrypt this SQL Server installation error?

    Good trolling knows no bounds! Anyway, I wasn't offended, I'm mostly shocked that someone could actually write that crazy-ass run-on paragraph and think it would positively influence another human being. I mean what was going through his head? "After reading this hundreds of people will drop Windows and start using Linux! I've found the perfect unassailable argument for it! Crowd applauds wildly!"

    You were a few minutes ago. Gasp! Body-snatchers!

    @ASheridan said:

    I think part of your problem is that you take on the viewpoint that anyone who effectively "badmouths" some feature or aspect of Windows is essentially a Linux (or Mac) fanboy.

    Wow. Have you ever read anything I've written in this forum ever?

    @ASheridan said:

    I think maybe you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself if you're not really a Windows fanboy?

    I'm a "works and is usable" fanboy. At the moment, I believe Windows 7 provides the best balance of those elements, with OS X following close behind. In my ideal world, Apple bought BeOS instead of NeXT, Apple's usability engineers (the few who didn't flee during Mac OS 8 & 9) worked with the BeOS' already-excellent usability engineers, and produced an OS that leapfrogged the rest of the industry by 20 years. Unfortunately that did not happen. Instead BeOS had a stuck-up CEO who asked for too much money, Apple bought NeXT whose usability was... eh. The few people who knew usability at Apple all left or were shouted down, and BeOS died. Sucks.

    Sorry, off-topic there. The point is: I'm pretty much the exact opposite of a Windows fanboy. I've used every OS under the sun. After my C-64, I used exclusively Classic Macs until 1999 or so-- you try finding a Windows fanboy who's used Classic Mac in its prime. Hell, initially, I only bothered with Windows because it was the only way to play Tribes! I've used Corel Linux, RedHat 6-ish (6.2?), Classic Mac, OS X (I have a MacBook Air not 3' from me right now), BeOS, Ubuntu (several versions), fucking GeOS, a little O/S 2, and hell fucking OS/360. FUCKING OS/360!

    So no, I'm not a Windows fanboy. If Apple turned their usability clusterfuck around and started producing a good OS again, I'd gladly jump back to OS X... but 10.7 shows they ain't.

    Are you trolling? You don't see that your comment basically says, "I'm super smart and everybody that doesn't use Linux is a moron" and that saying it makes you a dick?

    Yes, blakeyrat is not perfect but your goal should be to be a better human and not to say "If he is kind of a dick, then I can be a dick as well"

    I didn't get that from his comment at all, although it's fun to get in a pedantic dickweedery match with blakey. In fact, I took it as him getting trolled by blakey, who for some reason, seemed to be offended that someone actually bit! Does that mean that blakey successfully trolled himself?

    It seems I was not the only one that read his post that way

    You called everybody who doesn't use Linux "complete retards"

    @ASheridan said:

     

    Not really, I was pointing out the problem with software developers with regards to the Windows Start menu.

    No, you were saying that people who use linux are somehow smarter than most and that.... makes you a dick

    You were implying it and that .... makes you a dick

     I think part of your problem is that you take on the viewpoint that anyone who effectively "badmouths" some feature or aspect of Windows is essentially a Linux (or Mac) fanboy. I certainly have a preference for my OS of choice because I think it does the things I need it to better. Sure, it's not perfect, but is any OS? I think maybe you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself if you're not really a Windows fanboy?

    OS wars are stupid, I use whatever is at hand that will solve my problem.  Other than that I don't care much

    @ASheridan said:

    Generally Linux users tend not to be complete retards

    Which is not saying that all non-Linux users are retards. If you can't figure it out...

    Poor english skill?

     Yes, maybe I should keep my sentence constructs simpler to avoid confusion in the future. Wouldn't want to offend the linguistically challenged.

    Honestly guys "not all Linux users are complete morons" did not imply to me "unlike Windows".  The implied part for me was "like you apparently think we are."  Of course, that being said, all Linux users are complete morons.

    My bad, I meant SQL Server 2008 R2. But yeah, what I was trying to imply was that I've had success installing it in a virtual environment, which seemed different, not that I care about tainting my soul with windoze or anything. Only someone white knighting windows would think.... oh wait nevermind, that's half of this forum. Consider me a fool.
