Worst Bug or Shortcomings in a Standard?

Alastair asks: "Just curious what the Slashdot crowd thinks are the worst bugs ever to creep into a standard? For mine, the various security vulnerabilities in WEP would make the grade. Also perhaps the lack of a protocol field in HDLC, and which most implementations added in a non-compatible way. I'm thinking here about bugs which result in partial or total irrelevance of the standard itself, as opposed to just a lack of interest in adopting it."

    Cuteseal: Listen to me. This post is directed squarly at you.

    You are not funny. You are encouraging the mindless, raving IDIOTS that inhabit slashhdot. The complete cocksuckers who make stupid jokes about 'M$' and get a +5 funny. The ones who compare modern versions of Linux to Windows 98 and bitch about instability. The idiots who reply to every technical story with either obvious, misleading or totally incorrect information and get +5 informative. The inbred fuckwits who criticize Microsofts Monopoly, and then rush to suck Apples dick over the iPod. The misshapen freaks who repeat the same rant about how copyright is evil every tenth story, and get +5 informative, as if its an astonishing now viewpoint.

    You, cuteseal, are a member of this collective.

    I WANT TO KILL YOU ALL! HUNT YOU FUCKERS DOWN AND KILL YOU BY FORCING LINUX CD'S DOWN YOUR THROAT!

    You fuckers don't know the first thing about technology or marketing. You are scum. I bet you are either a child, or a man who is still mentally a child. I want to pick you up and shake the fuck out of you, whilst looking you in the eyes and screaming "YOU ARE NOT FUNNY, FUCKER!".

    None of you fuckers are funny. You're all stupid drooling retards who think that because they can play with computers (big fucking deal, a mechanic is more skilled then the typical programmer), they are gods gift to the world. Newsflash, morons! Your jobs are gonigto India for a reason. You have no talent, only the ability to constantly while for no fucking reason over your oh-so-wonder Linux. At least the BSD users generally have brains. I've never met a skilled linux user who wasn't an egotistical asshole. "Oh look at me!!! I know how to use linux. Fear me!" And what about your shitty open source? You can't really making money by selling open source. You can only make money by 'supporting' it. CAN YOU SPELL 'CONFLICT OF INTEREST'? Open source companies have no interested in making Linux better, they want it to be hard to use! Becaue then people will pay for support!

    To conclude: Cuteseal, I hate you. I hate all of you.

    WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!
