Maq Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 they had to import LITERALLY DOZENS of customer records from an SQLdatabase into a spreadsheet. We managed to do this quite easily byclicking the mouse for a few hours together, setting the ODBC driversup using heaps of helpful GUI tools. That's the funniest part, literally dozens... Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? What...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynewex Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 This is Jerry Lee Cooper’s Un-Offical Fan Site JerryLeeCooper is a net guru with a internet cult following rivaled only by Bill Gates him self. Jerrys insight is often mocked but his wisdom is well beyond his years and will go down in history as one of the nets leading authorities.

Mchl Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I've got this feeling, that industrial automation hardware runs in fact on MS Windows kernel using its drivers and services... Must ask Jerry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Microsoft offers lower costs than Linux April 18th, 2008 JerryLees response to: http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2003-09-17-013-26-NW-DP-SV&tbovrmode=1 JerryLee: This is a rather short sighted move on the part of RedSherriff, Id say. So, they have managed to save a few measly pounds on software licensesover a short term, and they are gloating about savings ? Waittill the end of the month, when it becomes obvious that this radicalshift from a stable, integrated, GUI enabled MS-SQLServer to someshareware database system opens up a big set of new costs - as all theusers of this database need to be re-trained. In the case ofshareware databases such as postgresql and mysql (both cheap clones ofthe original SQL, invented by Bill Gates in his Mum’s garage during hisyears at college - heck mysql even had to steal the name from MSSQL),you will find that there is no GUI at all. This makes them impossiblydifficult to operate - the re-training costs will be huge. Justthe other day, I helped an enterprise client do some work in MSSQL -they had to import LITERALLY DOZENS of customer records from an SQLdatabase into a spreadsheet. We managed to do this quite easily byclicking the mouse for a few hours together, setting the ODBC driversup using heaps of helpful GUI tools. We then managed to get thespreadsheet to AUTOMATICALLY TOTAL all of the postcodes for thecustomer records, and even calculate the AVERAGE of the postcodes. Try doing THAT with your little shareware database !! Hmmph ! Face it - Microsoft offers lower costs than Linux, as has been PROVENtime after time. When will these shareware guys just give it up ? I'm 99% sure, but just to be 100% sure, that was all sarcasm, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 This is so surreal that no one can be sure for sure... Some people take it really seriously though... Maybe that's some form of art? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maq Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You know what's even funnier, the comments people left. Check out this one: # Charles Xavier Says: January 24th, 2008 at 1:29 pm I have to disagree with you. The Linux actually works best on 750 MHz, and even 1GHz may be enough to create virus. Beware of using the Linux on Microsoft XP or Vista, as the Linux replaces important files with Communist propaganda. Never trust the open source pirates with your computer. I think this guy is actually being serious... scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynewex Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Reminds me of the post by somebody else called "How to tell if your son is a hacker." Heh, he says things such as "If your son wears bright clothes and has something called Flash installed on his computer, it probably means that he is hacker."

GingerRobot Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I find it entertaining that as a fanatical Christian, only some of the other religions would be seen as a sin. What on earth is that about? Also, why do hybrid cars "harm America"? Or vegetarians? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hybrid cars are a plot do destroy oil industry, and vegetarians want to cripple cattle producers. Simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hybrid cars are a plot do destroy oil industry, and vegetarians want to cripple cattle producers. Simple Oh silly me, how could I have been so naive Obviously the facts that hybrid cars would pump an awful lot of money into the motor industry and vegetarians support other farmers are irrelevant.
