How to join directories
On Sunday 07 May 2006 22:11, Harold Stevens stood up and spoke the following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...:
I would personally add to that list that Google should inform its Google Groups users that Usenet is *not* some forum that exists *on* Google's network, but something that pre-exists Google by a couple of thousands years - okay, I'll take back a few hundred ;-) - and to which *they* are *only* offering a (badly broken) posting interface.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Google's current approach and Microsoft's enduring approach is to dumb the users down.
Whereas it was already quite hard years ago to tell the newbies *not* to reboot their computer all the time just because that happens to be the policy in Microsoft Windows, it is now virtually impossible to put some sense or knowledge into the newbie's brain.
Usenet is no longer an NNTP network - it's a forum on Google Groups. GNU-Linux is no longer a Free Software UNIX clone - it's a"freeware"Windows replacement. All PC's need constant rebooting. Every PC needs a firewall, an anti-virus program and an anti-spyware tool. winemust be installed, so that they can run Windows applications, because they don't want to use the native GNU-Linux or UNIX software. Hardware designed for Windows which doesn't run on GNU-Linux is GNU-Linux's fault. GNU-Linux should become more like Windows. Oh, and let's not forget that replies must be typed above the questions... :-
It's a process called evolution. Only with the species calledhomo-sapiens,evolution appears to be headed towards the shrinking of the brain... :-
Sad... Very sad!
