That being said, we don't care if you find it offensive if someone calls
you a noob. Heck, you can't even set up a monitor in X or see if your
system runs with full DMA on external storage.

What the hell are you talking about?

C'mon, it's not too hard to grasp.


Sure, blame the OS that can be configured to run as fast (or as slow in
your case) as user wants it to be.

I blame the OS when it *needs* configuration for something I expect it to do
out of the box.

Why don't you rather blame the whole sw-hw system for not being designed
to be plug'n'play? Have you ever stopped and found exactly *how*
some GUI system detects monitor specifications?

It's not the OS, it's the interface between monitor and OS that's bad,
and monitors usually have a lousy way to tell the OS what it supports (if
it tells it at all).

You do realize that PC is almost the worst architecture that won
in the marketplace? It's almost sad all those kewl computers died - atari,
amiga, etc. There's Apple, but it too is going the way of the dodo.
Macs aren't even Apple anymore - they're Intel! Intel processor, Intel
chipset, Intel EFI, Intel AGP/PCIx...

Perhaps if Sun and Apple merged all that time ago...heh, wishful thinking.

And then people laugh at me when I say they should learn more about
how computers work than "this is a motherboard - RAM, processor and
various cards go here".

Personally, I blame the education system.
