He shouldn't be watching Brummagam teams anyway, far too close to being from t'North.
Much better to watch Palace, The Irons, Orient or, Best of All Charlton.
Proper football played by yer actual London Clubs.

Good result for the mighty Luton last night, up into a play-off spot.

Well, it's about as close to genius as you'll get from a footballer.
Anything that requires even simple arithmetic or literacy is right out the window, but the "grabbing clothes" type of genius is their forte.

Well, it IS soccer after all. Does it really make that much difference whether it's on the field or in the locker room afterwards?

As I was curious to know why people brag about Linux' "performance & Stability".
A Windows7/8 OS is really no match for a well built Ubuntu PC? My friends say In Linux , Applications never crash. I guess a well written App would never crash on any OS. Or Windows is really bad on this?
How many of you spend time with Linux desktop as much as you do with Windows. Someone who is equally using both the OS are more qualified to comment , brag, flame.
I surfed the web to find the answer.
So this never really happens in Linux?[^]
Linux don't need drivers? [^] - This is misleading , how come every unknown- future hardware can be packed into the kernel core?
Btw, Windows also support most of the existing hardware by default, I think this can't be counted as a plus for Linux. Both are same here.

This argument has been going ever since ... same as Mac is better than ...
Neither product is "better", which is a very subjective argument. I worked on Linux in my last job and it did what we required. I also worked on Solaris: the same, Windows: the same, etc. None was better than the other, each had a job to do and did it.

Still I am able to use my old HP scanner on latest Ubuntu but not on Windows 7 or 8.
However, roughly speaking, the two OSs are too different to make a reasonable 'reliability' comparison.

Just to add my twopence worth:
Windows is better. For some things.
Linux is better. For some other things.
MacOS is better. Again for some things.
iOS is better than Android for...well give me time...some things. Probably.
Those things don't really overlap (as MS has had shouted at it since it released WIN8), so the OS's can't really be compared in any meaningful way, unless the environment and usage is also considered.
Have you any household kit with runs on Linux? I do. Would I try to use household kit running Windows? No - it would be too expensive in terms of hardware (and software licence) to be in the ball park.
Would I replace my desktop OS with Linux? No. Because my apps wouldn't crash, simply because most of 'em wouldn't work without me faffing a lot behind the scenes to get 'em up and running.

I said iOS was better (ie. more consistent), not perfect (ie. totally consistent) and I stand by my opinion.
Use any iOS device with a specific OS version and it is consistent from device to device. Android functionality will differ drastically on the same OS version depending on whether the device came from Motorola, Samsung, Google, Asus, Amazon, etc...

What happened to the desktop?
I must be getting old, didn't get the memo the desktop is dead and the phone is the new desktop!! ^^
Then I will say Windows Phone is more consistent!

What about the desktop? My comments were directed towards the iOS vs. Android comparison. Nothing more...

And anyway, who cares about consistency?

I think you'll find when people talk about Linux 'performance & stability' they are usually talking in context of a server OS rather than a desktop OS. In that arena there are some use-cases where Linux spanks Windows handily; and I've seen some Linux farms where you smack your forehead and say "why?" 
Linux desktop apps crash all the time. Throw in the odd quirks of individual Linux desktop environments and things can get even more spicy. That said it's 'horses for courses' and a lot of people like working in Linux.
I would argue that neither OS is "better", just different and better suited to different tasks.
That site you linked is a bit of a worry for many reasons.
Even some of the HTML looks a bit suspect. Apparently written at a time when embedding image data in HTML streams was in... 
I'd treat it as 'out dated' at best.

Why Linux is Better ... All the drivers are already included in the Linux kernel, the core of the system, and that comes with every single Linux installation
LOL!  Morons.

I had wanted to try Linux but could not find the driver for my video card. So never used it after the install as I would prefer to have more than half a screen of text.
