Incidentally, am I the only one who’s starting to suspect that l337 sp33k is becoming mostly a coverup for bad mastery of language ?? In the olden days, I had no issues following hacker slang, because it follows a certain logic and tends to grease up communication.

But now … dunno, I understand what they want to say, but I wish they’d a) learn to speak their own language and b) at least TRY to be a little more creative.

The real oiaohm has a distinct linguistic flow (no I’m serious) that’s difficult to copy; it’s readily identifiable to anyone familiar with his speech. This oiaohm’s text is too concise and understandable, but he’s done a fantastic job with the talking points and rapidly branching off into tangents. For that, I give him credit. The most difficult part of cloning oiaohm is duplicating the walls of text he generates.

Hypocrisy in Freetardia?? Say it ain’t so!

Although, once rule #2 is enshrined it turns from hypocrisy into plain old dogma.

Since I inevitably hear this pithy little quote being turned on “haters”, I’d like to munge it and spin it around to take a cheap shot at the lusers.

First they laugh at MS
Then they fight MS
Then they Fail

Meanwhile the rest of us just get on with our lives as though the OS crusades did not exist, because they don’t.

Oiaohm, I think I agree with Anonymouse about you being nothing but a troll, so I am not going to bite.

So now what not like call troll. Linux use messaging sockets for advanced video composit at server level. Microsoft make mistake to use processor pipelines and memory shares. This make windows less secure. Linux faster and more secure because it leave compositing in server space where have gpu power.

Paul Thurrott made a good point on his blog about why Apple does what it does and tends to get away with it. Its tactics are those of the underdog, agile and super aggressive. This is what Microsoft used to be like back during the (real) OS wars of the late 80′s and early 90′s.

Microsoft landed an anti-trust suite because even when they were the big dog, they continued to try and act like the underdog. He goes on to point out that Apple may be headed in a similar direction and wouldn’t be surprised to see an anti-trust suite for having a monopoly on online music sales. Especially since its tied so tightly to the world’s most popular music player.

I’m not saying that I think “Apple should be stopped”, but it certainly does make you think about the parallels.

oiaohm has never bothered to back up his claims of “NTFS failures”, meanwhile EXT4 is well documented as having a “large file corruption issue”. The “driver problem” is even more laughable since I can update my drivers on the fly without rebooting.

This is all very ironic since Ubuntu 9.10 is so fraught with problems even the pro-linux tech journalists are giving it bad reviews.

Yeah, I was getting suspicious when I realized he was actually posting under his name rather than being anonymous. Plus he seems far more ardent in his fanboyism, as if he’s relapsed.

I believe this Oiaohmm (or whatever) to be a troll.
Sorry, but i really do. When he’s been quiet for so long time, i don’t believe it’s him.
(though whoever it is admittedly mimics his style quite well!)
