  1. Get rid of drooling fanboy websites that do by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    nothing but drool over the latest "free" software and Apple stuff while making lame remarks like "M$ SUX0RZ!11~" .... oh wait... wrong site to say that on.

    I'm surprised, how did I get to post this first?

  3. Save? How 'bout taking it back? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I say instead of saving the net, the geeks take it back from the mainstream. Anyone who dares mutter "so how do we make a profit from the net?" should be shot before they even get a chance to plug in a modem.

    Then again I suppose the whole Internet would be dull without the population it has. Damn double-edged elitist mentality!

    The internet won't get any better until we start havin' us some KILLIN'S! Start with the spammers, then the HTML email idiots, and then work our way down until we get to the ALL CAPS TWITS.

    Once we're down to ten thousand or so people again, we'll be fine. And the others can go fix the rest of the world.
