[23:22:52] <Kr4t05> I don't love Windows, I use it. It does certain things that aren't as easy in Linux. I
[23:23:42] <Kr4t05> I'm sorry if you take offense to that, and if you think I'm about to remove my Windows partition simply because you told me to, sorry, not happening.
[23:23:49] <AmyRose> I never said that...
[23:24:05] <AmyRose> I left because I was threatened to be kicked out because I was a "zealot"
[23:24:21] <AmyRose> Sorry; I admit that a large part of the reason I can use Linux all the time is being able to live without those games
[23:25:00] <Kr4t05> What I am asking you is why you need to judge me or Snake based on an OS choice. I still use Linux as my primary OS.
[23:25:48] <AmyRose> Because I like to argue. It's one of my faults. ^^;
[23:25:59] <Kr4t05> Right... -.-'
[23:26:09] <Kr4t05> Well, anyway...
[23:26:45] <Kr4t05> The reason I'm using Windows is so I can restore my iPod, so I can install Linux on it.
[23:26:58] <Kr4t05> Therefore, the end justifies the means. ;)
[23:27:40] <AmyRose> Ah.
[23:27:47] <Kr4t05> Until Apple makes a Linux version of iTunes (which I don't see happening.) I'm stuck between a rock and hard place. :P
[23:30:34] <AmyRose> Oh. I heard that Amarok can sync iPods
[23:30:43] <Kr4t05> But, not restore them.
[23:31:02] <Kr4t05> I need to set it back to the factory default, because I botched the manual install.
[23:31:08] <AmyRose> Well, actually, I bought my MP3 player after switching to Linux, so I didn't exactly run into this problem since I already was ready to avoid it
[23:31:40] <AmyRose> that's one reason I'm glad I have been using it for over 3 years ^^;
[23:32:18] <AmyRose> well, good luck
[23:32:41] <Kr4t05> It's not so much that I need to use my iPod.
[23:33:02] <Kr4t05> I have other DAPs, that I use primarily, but I want to have this iPod as a toy.
[23:33:08] <AmyRose> Oh, OK
[23:33:14] <AmyRose> I don't really like Apple anyway
[23:33:29] <Kr4t05> Because they are proprietary?
[23:33:34] <AmyRose> yeah
[23:33:42] <AmyRose> and they don't play as nicely as they could with open-source
[23:34:01] <Kr4t05> So? It's their choice. No one says that they have to
[23:34:20] <Kr4t05> Beside that, they likely can't because of legal agreements with other companies.
[23:34:29] <AmyRose> And thanks to them, we have lots of sites that are "Safari-compatible", but they choke in Konqueror (and work fine if I set the UA string to Safari 2.0)
[23:35:10] <AmyRose> Well, maybe that's not 100% bad
[23:35:35] <Kr4t05> You know something... I honestly have to say that people like you are the reason why Linux still hasn't become a mainstream OS... The elitism.
[23:35:45] <AmyRose> I fight off elitists.
[23:35:45] <Kr4t05> You're hopeless.
[23:35:49] <AmyRose> They get worse, fucktard
[23:36:01] <AmyRose> I've gotten made fun of for not forcing the world to use Jabber
[23:36:11] <AmyRose> for webcamming with my friends with MSN instead of WengoPhone
[23:36:20] <AmyRose> for not arguing with people who want Word documents
[23:36:33] <AmyRose> so shut the fuck up before you accuse me of being a fucking zealot
[23:37:17] <AmyRose> I am not forcing you to use Windows
[23:37:20] <AmyRose> I mean
[23:37:22] <AmyRose> to ditch Windows
[23:37:29] <AmyRose> I'm not forcing anyone to do that
[23:37:40] <AmyRose> Linux is not ready for everybody. I know that.
[23:37:45] <AmyRose> It may never be
[23:38:07] <AmyRose> But it's not my fault you bought an iPod. I didn't make you do it, and I am not making you throw it out
[23:38:26] <AmyRose> Most of my friends are non-technical Windows users.
[23:38:31] <AmyRose> I don't make them switch.
[23:39:37] <AmyRose> If you've ever seen XVampireX on this network, he called me a "fucking idiot" because I use MSN, Yahoo, and AIM to keep in touch with my friends rather than forcing everybody to use Jabber. And he's the one who got mad at me for using MSN and Yahoo for webcamming instead of WengoPhone
[23:41:02] <AmyRose> All I am saying is that Linux is good enough for me and for a couple of friends of mine who made the switch voluntarily. and I don't care if you're ignoring me...
