Slashdot Mirror

"The world is a hell of darkness and death, where the dread force of destruction known as the farbtontier slowly destroy the human race in pursuit of their corrupted ideals,"

"I have merely seen more than most people will see in their lifetimes. I've seen more places and met more people, and pretty much have people figured out...but it's the people frightened by me who intruige me,"

Then you complain about lack of time due to your not attending a "pussy college" and having to "finish these EE questions".

Slashdotters like you entertain me. If I could donate money to some fund to keep people like you making fools of yourselves, I would.

Thanks! You truly are a master of the obvious!

I'm not defending ignorance, but we both have to face the fact that it exists. No amount of wishing that it didn't or pretending that it doesn't will change that. Besides that, you seem to be confusing the issues here. The original poster is absolutely correct -- MSN gets hits largely because A)Microsoft sets it to be the main page by default, allegedly changing it back when certain updates are installed, and B) by using their MSN search when when a server isn't found(which is rather counterintuitive, since most people intuitively use that box to write the correct address in). Just because it's possible to change these settings doesn't mean that everyone does, so MSN undoubtedly does indeed get a large amount of hits that way.

Stop thinking of it as an accusation, it's just a fact. When millions of people, especially unskilled people who have problems with basic computing skills, use your software, and it's set up to go to MSN in many places by default, some significant percentage of those people who for whatever reason won't disable the MSN affilliation(and I wouldn't be suprised to see the number of people who don't turn off the MSN search feature reaches 80-90%), and that percentage will be providing hits constantly to Microsofts site.

As for this...

I stand by what I said. I don't tolerate people who keep themselv's ignorant on purpose. Your response shows me you are one of the affore mentioned people. Have a nice day.

Your own accusation paints you with the same brush. In trying to characterize a complex individual into a single massive and simplistic group based soley on the contents of a single post, you prove that you are truly ignorant about the man who calls himself SJ Zero. I'll tell you what -- check out my site, Powerusrs Gaming. Perhaps you can cure your own ignorance about me. You can't simply wish it away, as you seem to think. Perhaps you will find a kindred spirit who loathes the cult of ignorance our society is so enamoured with. Perhaps you will find a person who has dedicated his entire life to understanding the world outside his immediate surroundings. But then, perhaps you will find the worshipper of ignorance you accuse me of being.

To that end, if you wish to continue this discussion, please do it on the Powerusrss Gaming forums, where we can more easily converse without the logistics of Slashdot getting in the way.

These words from your site:

Winners Circle is a new Operating system that shall be unique in several ways. It shall be a multitasking operating system built specifically to run under dos. It shall multitask by comand, not by timeslice, as windows does. This should make the operating system run faster and with more stability than windows 95 or 3.1

[...]

This is also going to be written entirely (as far as I can code - I already know my mouse code shall be assembly) in QuickBasic.

Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Feel the burn ... of QuickBasic!
