I was up until 3am in the morning today talking to an old buddy (?) of mine. Which I guess had recently "seen the light" after going through college. Originally he had been pretty open minded about what he used, but it almost seemed now he was one of the types who get in to government conspiracies. An example of this is how he argued that I wasted money on a power supply, when I could have bought a cheap one for $50. Of course the idea of quality seems oblivious to him as he later then made comments referring benchmarks as paid popularity contests. (Yeah, he actually believes that the companies pay to get better benchmarks) All he was doing is bashing everything I had to say, and when I gave him hard facts or convincing points he would counter with indirectly calling me a pedophile (because in his mind, anyone who uses MS products, or the .NET interface is a pedo). I primarily use windows for the most part, but I wouldn't dare open my mouth and bash something I know very little about. I'm starting to wonder, is there any help for nut jobs like him? He seemed to think he was talking to a brick wall, treating me like I was a first time computer user. Knowing full well that I've been programming / using a pc longer then he has (much).
