    My X-Box wins as it's running X-Box linux. :) And, the article *does* read like a 11-year-old wrote it thinking he was an "3lit3 dewd."

    Is there a way to mark this entire thread as -1 Troll, just before all of the PC and console zealots arrive? I can smell them coming.

    It would be a kind of flashing warning sign to others entering into the thread. Ya know, safety purposes.

      Think again. OTOH, pizza & sweat are definetly _not_ odourless.

    I wonder if this is an article where the majority of Slashdotters won't mind if you don't RTFA!

  5. Someone stole my XBox by marko123 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They didn't take any controllers, or the dvd remote, or the leads. If the fucktards ever got it to work, they would have found Bloodduster's Fisting the Dead album on the hard drive, among other music only a mother could love their son playing (damn that's a mixed metaphor). Sorry. I suppose I am still upset.

    I guess I just got lucky. :)

    I just don't like seeing that stuff without any kind of warning about what I'm getting into, and then getting the kind of reaction I did to just raising the protest that there wasn't much of a warning kind of threw me off. I have the option turned on that warns me where links go, so I don't click on things that go to dubious domains. That's all.

    Oh, and by the way, I use OS X and love it. :)

    No hard feelings, I hope.
