I call bullshit.  Anyone who has been running linux for that long
couldn't possibly be as much of a newbie as you clearly are.  Without
hyperbole, I can state that my 4 year old has more Linux skills than
you've demonstrated in your trolling rant.

Not if you had any scripting skills, which you clearly do not.  The
only thing in this thread that is a big pain is you.  You strike me as
one of those people who is never happy unless they're complaining
about something, and what they're complaining about is nearly always a
problem of their own creation.
