Linux's weaknesses ..

1: Telekinesis .. no matter how I cron echo 1>/proc/coffee it flat
   refuses to push the button on the coffee maker <G>

2: The /dev/remote driver sucks too, still need to reach AFK to change channels <G> ..

3: kill -9 `ps -x | grep netscape | awk '{print $1}'` -- no no, the kernel should know netscape will crash, and kill it before it opens <G>

4: code red .. I like single sentence webpages, it would help me greatly by defacing my own sites for me .. <G>

5: It's too inexpensive, I LOVE to spend money on software that has features such as the ability to seemlessly repeat #4 ..

6: Blue screens, "nuff said" <G> ..

I can come up with many more Linux "weaknesses" if you still don't see a reason to switch to windows ROTFL

HAHAHA
