The Only Way Microsoft Can Die is by Suicide

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-friday-without-cringely-is-like-a-friday-without-bagels dept.

Bitseeker writes "Robert X. Cringley's latest article is online. He opens with: 'When I wrote last week about my conclusion that the legal system -- any legal system -- is unequipped to change Microsoft's monopolistic behavior, I had no idea that within 24 hours, Sun Microsystem would be throwing in the towel, trading its so-called principles for $1.95 billion in cash. So I guess I was right. Only now, a few thousand readers out there expect me to blithely produce an answer to the problem of what to do to bring Microsoft into the civilized world. Well, I say it can't be done.'"

      You know, as sick as everybody has to be of this bullshit, I'm really surprised Taco hasn't just slipped a 'GAY NIGGERS! first post' filter into the slashcode. Sure wouldn't hurt.

      The sad thing is that this is just copy and paste garbage. I like to read at -1 and I can appreciate a well crafted troll. This is just clutter. Taco should consider a -2 Complete Crap threshold.

      do you think any of the mods is clever enough to differentiate between a clever and a dumb troll? Heck, they even mod wrong or unfunny statements either as flamebait or troll. As long as nobody uses "under/overrated", it's no use to make a feature creep on the slashcode.

      Just mod it redundant. When GNAA first started, I thought these posts were hilarious. They were. Now I barely notice them unless somebody comments.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio -- Radio Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh was found dead in his New York home last night. The coroner has not yet officially ruled it a suicide, but apparently that's what it's going to be ruled.

    I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will mourn his passing -- even if you didn't agree with him, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    You have NO evidence that Stallman wouldn't sell out. Unless you are RMS and like to speak in the third person you simply cannot make this claim.
