Heh.. the linuxstore.. those guys are a joke. I met a their 'web guys' at a
bar awhile back and we had a rather interesting discussion. It went a little
like this:
Me: 'Nice Shirt' (he was wearing a penguin T-shirt)
Guy1: 'Actually I hate Linux'
Me: 'lemme guess.... you like BSD?'
Guy1: 'Wow! lemme shake your hand... Linux sucks'
Me: 'Hold on there a sec... BSD is great but they each have their
advantages'
Guy1: 'Whatever'
Sometime later while discussing our jobs:
Me: 'I'm a Perl developer... I mainly work with web stuff (Apache/mySQL)..'
Guy1: 'Perl sucks'
Guy2: 'Yeah.. PHP rules!'
Me: 'Umm.... what happens when you want to do something besides web stuff?'
Guy[12]: 'Ummm.... yeah.. I guess Perl is OK'
Me: 'Anyways... I've been learning C++ and I like it so far..'
Guy1: 'C++ sucks'
Guy2: 'Yeah... C rules..'
Me: 'What? Isn't C a subset of C++?'
Guy[12]: (strange looks on face)
Me: 'The C++ compiler can do anything the C compiler can do... the C
compiler lacks many features that the C++ compiler has... right?' (Note:
this is my understanding.. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong :)
Guy[12]: 'I guess your right'
I don't think we said much else to each other after that... It was kinda
funny.
