RE: Does FreeBSD support Intel E7210 Chipsets
Gary, Maybe if you offered solutions instead of whining and bashing all the time people would be interested in what you have to say. All we've ever seen you do is throw out insults and complain. If FreeBSD is so bad, use another OS. I'm sure Microsoft would be more than happy to have you shell out the money for their products, and you'd get the sort of support you want -er, well, sort of. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

To be fair, most of us just try to ignore you since you have not once contributed anything helpful or productive to this list. People would not get so upset if at least every once in a while you would offer some helpful comments. The constant carping on every question you respond to begins to wear on those of us who would really just like to learn more about how to better administrate our systems. We've chosen BSD, we like it, and we're not going back to the nether regions of MS. If you're unhappy with open-source, why not focus on Windows products and leave the rest of us alone. You're not going to find any converts here. As far as open-open source being the only one in beta, I work in development where our code is closed-source. Even we have to admit that our releases fit better into the category of BETA than RELEASE. The whole world of computers and programming is very new and most everyone of any real intelligence realizes that we all have a lot more to learn. The issue I have with closed-source systems is that when I spot a problem I can't do anything to fix it. Usually that means waiting for one of Microsoft's untold millions of patches and hope that it doesn't blow my system out of the water like so many of the Service Packs have done. That is why I like so much of what open-source is doing. We admit that we're not perfect and we don't know it all, but we will sure work to find the solution when a problem arises. As a final note, I have seen you talk about how much you know. How about proving it? Why not offer some real help to some of the questions posed on this list?

RE: difference between releases
So we went from three losers to four bozos. What's it going to be for five, six, seven, and eight? What I'm trying to tell you is, although I feel no animosity towards you, it would be really nice if you would just be helpful and constructive, rather than negative and whining. The people who have responded to you have only voiced what most of us on the list are feeling. By the way, I've tested our competitions printers. HP's printers are far better designed than anything else I've worked with. The point is programming and computer technologies are very young fields. You're going to find problems whether it's closed or open source. Just don't get bitter about it. Work instead to make it better instead of complaining about everything.
