[slug-chat] FREE SOFTWARE SUCKS!

[invisible ink <jdub@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, you heard me. FREE SOFTWARE SUCKS!

Free Software Sucks: My Dad teases me because I can't remember how to set
up his email in Windows. Which version of Outlook Express has the thingy
that opens that dialogue that does that box with the tabs and the icons with
the accounts that do the connections without you asking?

Free Software Sucks: A group of five year olds could beat me at burning CDs
in Windows by at least half an hour, and that's *including* the time it takes
to collect the necessary warez.

Free Software Sucks: People tell me about the latest and greatest
development tools, components and frameworks on their proprietary systems,
and just snivel or snort when I say words like "gee-vimm", "bone-o-bo",
"python", "eee-macks", "gee-dee-bee", "gi-noo" and "gar-nome".

Free Software Sucks: My clients look at me suspiciously when I can't remember
if the Windows NT DHCP service is adminstered through the Control Panel or
the Administrator's menu.

Free Software Sucks: People wonder why ":wq" appears at the end of all my
ICQs, webpages, emails and autoexec.bat files.

Free Software Sucks: I can't let out my bottled up, repressed anger at the
slimy vendor on the other end of the phone line trying to sell me what I
already bought last week but with sharing protection built in.

Free Software Sucks: They serve really fucking awesome weak cordial at
proprietary software developer education seminars.
