USB 2 Devices Not Necessarily High-Speed

mgcsinc writes "Yahoo is running a story on how some manufacturers of "USB 2.0" devices are making hardware compatible with the USB 2.0 standard, but not necessarily its high-speed component." Sounds like the complaint raised earlier this year.

    I'm sure this will be controversial, but trolls need love too. In fact, trolls probably need more love than your average slashbot - slashbots get positive reinforcement, after all.

    There. I've stated the painful truth: trolls need love. Now let me tell you why.

    Most of us were abused as children, or are being abused now, or have suffered mightily in some way. We have self esteem problems, we don't have confidence, we don't feel loved. We want positive attention and all the things "normal" people have, but we feel like we are unworthy of it.

    An old saying rings true here: "If the only potato chip a hungry child can have is a soggy potato chip, there is nothing more important to that child than the soggy potato chip." Well, that describes us trolls perfectly. We are hungry for attention and all we know is that we do not warrant positive attention, so we type "fristus postus" and post goatse links and shoot for the negative potato chip of a (-1 Troll), or a (-1 Flamebait). Off-yopic and redundant mods are like half a soggy potato chip - just enough to whet the appetite for more.

    So do the world a favor. end the cycle of abuse. Mod one troll - just one - up, and you will be rewarded for life because you gave a hungry child a dry potato chip. Share the love, won't you?

    Pinko-commies always crippling innocent servers and wreaking havok upon unsuspecting admins worldwide. And all because of that karma-thirsty bastid CmdrTaco.

    Not bad. You've only gotten two so far though, and one of them isn't even a keeper. I'd change lure, spot or maybe even both if I were you.

    Let me save you some time, pal. No one cares if you do or don't support America. You aren't worth shit, and you should realize that. The people that you leech off of appear to support the 'USA' and that's all that matters. Once you are doing something relatively important in this world, besides complaining about the rich/powerful, then your opinion will be worth something. And, no, sitting around tip-tapping on the keyboard or having socialist ideals isn't important.

    Until then, please realize that you are just one of those sheep you probably hate so bad.
