Cisco Expands Linux Desktop Use - comp.os.linux.advocacy

Jul. 17, 2004 The Oakland Tribune reports that more of Cisco's 35,000 employees may use Desktop Linux instead of Windows, according to CIO Brad Boston. While Cisco engineers have long had a choice in desktop OS, this news could signal a growing change in corporate America. Boston is quoted as saying that Cisco has a "grass-roots Linux effort going on" and reportedly runs Linux on his IBM laptop. Recently, Symantec's CEO John Thompson publicly mulled a corporate-wide deployment of Linux desktops. Linux makers Novell and IBM have also announced major in-house desktop migration strategies. http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS9537793186.html -- A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C000BD1D in VXD VMM(01) + 0000AD1D. The current application will be terminated.

Do you see how fucked up your linux addled mind is, when it is your attention span can't even keep up with the article you posted not six hours ago? Even the example kindly provided by S.Heenan went over your pointy little head. You may now get fucking well run over and suffer a long and painful death, you prized twat of an ADD victim. -- <Any lame you can conjure, insert here>

Nevertheless, you still waste everyone's time (and a fair amount of bandwidth) with your winfuck idiocy, which by the way, you use to defend other people who did not asked to be defended. As if they were to suddenly care about some pathetic, worthless fuckwit begging for their affection. Are you still in love with Kadachit Cunt...

Show where there is any defence displayed, not least, of you. So, what about the allegations I levelled above about your "linux addled mind" and just how fucked up it is, that you embarrassingly snipped? Answer the allegations, dunderhead. Focus now. > As if they were to suddenly care about some pathetic, worthless > fuckwit begging for their affection. We don't care about you. But, like you cared enough to respond, you mean? Perhaps it is you've already forgotten why you posted. > Are you still in love with Kadachit Cunt... Is he giving you the > attention you crave? You're so easy... and even more so, angry. Hit me with it again, go on, hit me harder this time, come on. <mind your monitor>

'/Who's/ /a/ /pretty/ /boy/ /then/' I would have actually accepted you plagiarising someone else's work in the absence of an original thought from you, but instead, I've reduced you to mimicry. You win, I lose. < happy now?
