    You are one of them.

    That's just spew, I'm a fairly accomplished computer user, you
    aren't better than me, you aren't so great. You're just a leftover
    from times past, which is why you make such idiotic political
    statements. You're an emotional thinker.

    You consider yourself an accomplished computer user?
    Like snit you have no clue.

    I would absolutely compete with you, I'm perhaps younger but I'm not
    that young, I have a long history with computer use. You're not
    better than me. You're just a relic, in truth.

    Now now, let's not devolve into a pissing contest/cat fight/whatever
    this is turning into.

    While pothead's politics are atrocious, they do know a thing or two
    about computers. You, I'm not so sure about -- after all, you think
    you're Jesus.


    What does my identity have to do with what I know about computers? I'm
    as good as the next computer nerd, we're all skilled.


    Meanwhile: what was the last large software project either of you >>compiled?

    ObLinux:

    For me, it was Pan, preceded by a few minutes by Linux 6.14.

    (ng snecked)


    I just use Linux effectively, I don't have to compile things from source
    as a general rule.

    Wellugh, okay.

    I hate to say it, but I don't think you _need_ 32GB of RAM -- you just
    have it because RAM was cheap and it made sense to buy matched RAM.

    My number-crunching colo server that I bought for HA experiments has
    32GB.
