I'm not a big game player (I think I've bought 1
game my entire life and downloaded 0), but I ran
this little exec called Lincity. I wouldn't really
compare it to Simcity though the object of the game
is similar. But for a FREE game that loads with the
OS, I think it is fantastic and the authors deserve
praise for the effort. The only bad part about it is
that I'm somewhat *ed to it and am wearing out
my mouse by clicking on all those roads and railroads and
towns. What a blast for a time killer!

That's what linux is good for, a time killer. Fortunatly, I value
my time too much to use linux.

Yes, I can see that your time is very valuable. That is why you read
the Linux newsgroups and post about how you don't like it. That must be
*quality* time to you... LOL

Can't be too valuable if you waste it here hah.

Consider it a public service.

So are the toilets in gas stations. Figures you have so much in common
with them.

We know already. That's why you plagiarise the work of others and
lie:

It makes a pretty good Windoze killer, too. And a pro-winders argument
killer. And sometimes even a great troll killer.

If your time is so valuable, you should either organize it better by
getting linux or by dumping computers altogether.

I'd prefer the second option myself. And you've shown you can't really
use linux or you probably would've tried to by now. So dumping your PC
is probably best all around.

C'mon. You know you want to! Just do it! I dare ya!

Most people complain that there are fewer games for Linux to waste
one's time on than for Windows.

Yes, giving the public the "here but for the grace of God go I"
experience from time to time is certainly a service.

Wow, I didn't think that such an innocuous post
complimenting a freebie little game would bring out
one of our high-powered trolls.

Linux must really bother you. Oh, wait. Linux
doesn't bother, right? It's those you call linonuts
that bother you. So you like* out with
linonuts. Like the abuse you get. That says a lot
about you.

Which is why I mostly ignore them. They just want attention, and not
giving it to them is a good thing in my view.

Besides, you know they sit around and waste time by playing
Solitaire/FreeCell/Minesweeper. :)

But you can do that on Linux ;)
