Hackers and computers

[Tink]

LinuxMint is Ubuntu based btw, Debian with Gnome.
I don't understand why people keep on using Windows.

I think it has to do with what is installed already on computers being sold today, most people don't even know how to press the start button let alone run a different O/S.

hello .. i have held a record for such
but i am a windows user..
linux works.. but keep in mind that if more people used linux then the "hackers" would get you too..
i had a record once for shutting down 1005 linux os's in 1.2756 seconds on over 2700 networks and 14 isp's with no recovery
but those where the good old days..
people ask me what is the best way to secure there selfs when they buy a new pc.. i tell them reformatt with a clean install no bulk oem crap..
and use something like nod32 for AV..
it's what you do online that makes you a victim..
this should clue to you in to what os is good.. i had a buddy piss me off real bad.. i worked his network till i found him and rewrote his bios on his mac laptop.. oh.. no there went 3 grand down the poop tube.. hahahaha
but i have a new hobby it's renewable energy.. so don't ask me about working someone over..

@kooler
have you ever heard of open source?

Well it's certianly obvious that you must be one of the hackers, prying into others computers.  To make such a statemet without knowing all the facts kind of makes you look pretty stupid.

Or maybe it's just imaturity.



What is obvious is you don't know how to type/spell or use spell check.  The facts speak for themselves.

Name calling will get you no where.
