Lets all install Slackware!

in fact, ubuntu has done a lot for the linux desktop. so much that pcworld suggests ubuntu 12.10 over Windows 8.

i used to hate the Unity interface, but now is very polished and works wonderfully.

Not for me, I don't type on a touchscreen, and I need a screen that is at least the size of two A4 documents.

Well, bad luck then, because from 2013 onwards the only large non-touch screens and general purpose computers are going to be expensive workstations.  Users don't need to type fast, or really to do anything outside of facebook, youtube and a few dozen other similar sites.  PC gaming is also dead, and the release of PS4 and other next-gen consoles is going to finish it.

Please optimise your language!

one A3 document.

Yep and that would be an excellent thing. I feel sad when I see general purpose computers in the dirty hands of facebook users. They don't need a computer, it's a total waste.
I will have an expensive workstation, or I will build a Mad Max workstation with older parts. I am not worried at all.
They will have Facebook iTablets. It will be obvious that we're not doing the same thing when we both spend our days on computers. At my desk, I crunch numbers, in their couch they ``poke'' their iFriends.
I know it won't happen. You know why? Because something like that would make me the happiest man on earth and I don't have this kind of luck.

No! Everything is in the number two. Read-write. Copy-paste. Man page-terminal. I need two windows, two tmux panes... A4 is a nice size.

I just set up a Debian 6 VM image on my Windows 7 (ugh) desktop gaming/dev machine. Got my vim and terminal all solarized. Feels good.

When I go to fullscreen exclusive mode and enable multi-monitors in VMware, it's like I'm really in a native Debian environment.

My laptop runs Linux Mint 14 natively.

Desktop is going to be outlawed in 2013 by Obama. Only proprietary mobile phones and tablets will be allowed. DHS will go door to door seizing people's computer hardware and open source software. Software developers will be sent to the gulag unless they've been certified by the government.

They also make more money than you, have actual real friends who will stand up for them, have a girlfriend/boyfriend, and their quality of life is far greater.

We already know how to program, we'd just need to learn some web development bullshite and get rich easily. I doubt more than 10% of neurotypicals can make >$100k/year.

have actual real friends who will stand up for them
Ever heard of family and business contacts? Yeah, these won't go to a ``woooo e/b/in party XD'' with you, but it's not like I'm missing something important. I'd rather travel abroad.

have a girlfriend/boyfriend
Back to Reddit, please.

and their quality of life is far greater.
See point 1. Living in debt hell while being married to a fat old woman with 2 children sounds way better than a loner living's lifestyle in an actual first-world country.

It actually does if she gives you sexual favours every few days weeks months.

You seem to think ``autistic faggot'' is some way of insulting people on /prog/. Sorry, it only works on /g/.

You can make all the money you want and hire a ``hot gal'' too. I would if I were a horny neurotypical teenager, too bad I'm not one anymore.

Okay, that's it. I already had my fun here today.

As an autistic faggot, you will be hated and shunned by society and you will never make any money. You will never have sexual contact with any female, whether in exchange for money or not.

I don't really care. When they tell me: "You know, Anon, we make more money than you, we have actual real friends who will stand up for us, we have girlfriends/boyfriends, and our quality of life is far greater", I ask them politely if they realize that they could use all those streaming multiprocessors in their GPU to split the computation of an amb procedure. And then I laugh, muhahaha and they leave and I just forget they exist until next time.

None of them can beat my chess program anyway. Even if they'd spend their lifetime perfecting their skills. I can write programs that would beat them at anything. I can make bots to kick their ass in their stupid 3D video games. I can make a program to generate Redcode programs that would humiliate them at Core War. But they don't even play that. Fools.

You're on a programming board and you seem to have no idea what programmers make in relation to most people.
