Don't pull the Torah card out. Your metaphor is retarded. Just saying.
When someone can't install the system to work to their satisfaction they
should just buy a professionally installed box and stop blaming the software.
It's not that hard.

Your dragging religious dogma into this is a Chullul Hashem...
do you understand that?
Probably not. This kind of fanatasism rarely understand the damage it
does in public.
Meanwhile, it is an essential lie to say that GNU Desktops aren't ready
for use after 17 years of development when they have been in fact used
for just that purpose, and extensively for over a decade.
And then to post a long message to follow up that subject explaining how
your unique dual head system doesn't work to your satisfaction
as proof is misdirection. You do understand the concept of integrety? Right?
Or has Emes been removed from your definition of Derech Ertez.

Your VERY insulting, and need to learn a little about humility.

Whatever. Don't email me again until you can do a little chuvah.
You're an insulting person.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
