Annakin4 · « **Reply #3 on:** April 18, 2015, 11:03:01 pm »

I like David! I want to see a bit of him every once and a while! He seems pretty cool and who doesn't love the haircut?

David hates Linux so therefore I vote for making him scrub the toilets with a tooth brush!

In 50 or so years he'll be the Professor Poliakoff of electronics.

huh?! They have right AND left handed screwdrivers?! I thought they only had right handed ones. Can you send me a left handed one? I want to see how it feels in my right hand.

I second this

Wow. Dave finally did it. He found a way to clone himself. Good on David for not having an interest in social media (e.g. Twitter, and Facebook) but too bad he isn't a Linux fan. Perhaps Dave will get David to turn that scope right side up at last before all the electrons fall out of it and it stops working.

... and who doesn't love the haircut?

I would describe it as: not having a haircut.

It takes work to keep that Afro in shape, especially if you actually wash it regularly. You need about an hour each time just to do the drying, gel and combing. Here there are a lot of small roadside hair shops that will do it, and which also do extensions and weaves. The Marge Simpson look is quite common.

OK - observations.

We can forgive the funky hair!

Cheers & Welcome to the PEE pack (Professional Electronics Engineering)

You should ban him, not for the blasphemy, but for not turning the scope whilst he had the opportunity to do so.

Sorry - I couldn't help myself - all in good fun of course.

'The haircut' looks good on Dave

Hello David.

Welcome.

You are right about Linux, but to quote a wise old sage ... "Use whichever OS best lends itself to the task"

Indeed.

As a PC tech and Software Engineer I've used, installed, and developed on a wide variety of operating systems, from MacOS 6 through X, Windows 3.1 through 8, BSD distros such as FreeBSD and NetBSD, and Linux distros such as Debian, Red Hat, Fedora Core, Ubuntu, Mint, and Gentoo.

I use Windows at work and home. My workplace is entrenched in Microsoft products (both user and development oriented), so I must use Windows at work.

If my workplace didn't use Windows, I'd still use Windows over Parallels/Boot Camp or something like Wine/CrossOver to run Windows environment software and games. Why? Because it just works without tweaking configs or worrying about performance on Apple hardware or flaky stability of Windows environment emulation like in Linux. Perhaps that's the fault of the market being so focused on developing for Windows?

The only alternative I see to negate the reliability issues in a Linux environment would be to run only Steam offered apps and games. But I wouldn't want to be tied down to just one portal company (no pun intended for "portal"

).
