ALMOST everything you just said is wrong. Yea, you got Linux right, that's it.
Stat trackers and IP logs don't lie...but that's ok, it really doesn't matter.
You think you're so fucking clever, but you're not. Far from it.
Pfft, I KNOW I'm not clever. If I was, I would have a more popular website:P
You're a fucking moron with a fat girlfriend and a lame ass juvenile website.
That may be true, but I'm a HAPPY fucking moron with a fat girlfriend and a lame ass juvenile website. My life is spent reading comics, playing video games/tabletop games, watching movies, and writing up articles for fun...all with the woman I love.
What could a lame nerdy 20-something want more than that?
You're just as wrong about that as you are everything else.
Really? So you aren't on Comcast, running Linux at 1280x1024 resolution, or using::giggle:: Firefox 3.0.1? I see you decided to come back again this morning...you should read some articles about movies on the main site instead of just the blogs... the blogs (man I hate that word) are more like a crappy online journal, whereas the main site are short reviews we put together for fun.
Have fun fucking that fat girl.
Oh trust me, I do...she is quite good to me, and very comfortable with herself;-)
Jesus What a convoluted answer. Did you REALLY convince yourself that you didn't misspell it in the first place and got called out? Is your ego REALLY that large?
Considering you are the one who implied a low user id automatically makes someone better, I don't think you should be talking about egos.
Do you REALLY expect me to believe that you intended to say that MS was attempting to "To evade or escape from, as by daring, cleverness, or skill" a tablet PC in the first place? Is that what you really expect anyone to believe?
No, I expected people to believe they did the second definition listed in that link: 2. To escape the understanding or grasp of. I would have figured someone with such an amazingly low user id such as yours would have known that a word can have more than one definition. After all, you are my "senior", so if I'm aware of this fact...
You're obviously not incredibly stupid. Don't fool yourself into thinking you're smarter than the rest of us bears. (Shh! here's a hint: you're not)
I'm quite aware that I'm not smarter than everyone else...but I did find a perfect opportunity to invoke The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory in a friendly flame-war, so overall I would say it was a successful evening. Good night:-)
Oh, and before you get up my ass again mein Führer, I'm aware that it should have said "the subject eluded them". But having such a low user ID, you must have already known that.
::sigh:: Fine, I suppose I'll have to fully spell it out for you.
Microsoft has ALLUDED to bringing a successful tablet to market in the past, but they ending up completely missing the mark. Hence, they ELUDED the subject.
Was that really too difficult for you to figure out on your own, Mr. Low User ID?
So, according to YOUR definition from freedictionary.org, Microsoft did this: "To evade or escape from, as by daring, cleverness, or skill" They did that to a tablet PC? Wow. Really? That is YOUR definition Not much of a pun there. Which is pretty much what I said in the first place. Yes, your sense of humor escapes me. And every other intelligent person on the planet.
Notice how there are two definitions on that page?
"2. To escape the understanding or grasp of"
You do understand the concept of one and two, yes?
#1: In the past, Microsoft has made attempts at marketing tablets, and failed miserably (http://www.pencomputing.com/frames/tablet_pc.html and http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2002/Nov02/11-07tabletlaunch.mspx). Hence, they ELUDED the subject. My humor isn't up to your standards, person I will never meet.
#2: Sorry you feel that way. We only have a few regulars that check in every day, but like I said that is fine by me.
#3: Having a user id that is an "order of magnitude" lower than mine means you should be setting the standard instead of lowering it.
::shrug:: Try looking through more than the 15 day period over the holidays when we didn't post anything, you might like it. If not, hey, that's cool...we only get around 50 visitors per day or so, and that is just fine by me.
My apologies for causing you so much nerd rage. Have a great evening!
At the risk of sounding like a grammar Nazi... How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't even SPELL the word you're trying to use? It is "ALLUDE" not "ELUDE" (that would be when one is trying to evade capture).
Really. Think about it this way: Try your luck getting a job and saying, "I ain't got no ___.... " (fill in the blank). Do you really think you're going to get hired?
I sure as hell wouldn't hire you if you made such a basic error. Think about it this way: we have ALL made an agreement that we will communicate in this language called English. If you can't learn the rules, get the fuck out.
Key word there being "was"...my launch 360 died long ago after a slow painful death, but my 360 with a manufacture date of Auguest 2008 has given me zero problems.
Don't get me wrong, I love my PS3. I love the power it has, I love how quiet and cool it runs, I love its media abilities (except Netflix, which is ass) and I love its exclusives...but I STILL despise the dual-shock controller.
There were a bunch of games I didn't include (Gears of War, Mass Effect, Bioshock, etc.) since you could play them on other platforms...I was listing games that you could ONLY play on the 360.
Honestly, for me, Shadow Complex and 'Splosion Man ALONE were worth the cost of a 360. Good platformers are hard to find nowadays, and finding two of them that could arguably be considered two of the best ever made is quite a treat.
That being said, Mass Effect was an unbelievably amazing game in spite of its technical shortcomings...Mass Effect 2 can't get here soon enough.
Please tell me again that the 360 is a good product in comparison.
Because limiting your gaming platforms (if you can afford to not do so, obviously) is a silly idea. Again, money permitting, if you can afford the maximum number of platforms to play games on, why wouldn't you? Project Sylpheed, Blue Dragon, Crackdown/Crackdown 2, Ninja Blade, 'Splosion Man, Fable II, Geometry Wars, I Made a Game With Zombies In It, Shadow Complex...and many others. There are a LOT of great games you can ONLY play on a 360. I don't know about you, but I'm quite happy to have the experiences of as many games as possible added to my collective gaming memory.
Not to mention Netflix streaming with a PS3 sucks horribly. It is a much better system for media streaming and playback, but for Netflix? Horrible.
I think if Tablets went the dockable route (i.e. able to dock to a keyboard/faster hardware, then be taken out as just a touchscreen with decent hardware) they would gain a larger following. For someone like my fiance (a 3rd grade teacher), a computer she can use as a laptop on her desk and then just grab the screen and go while walking around the classroom would be quite an asset.
yes, I know there are laptops with touchscreens that swivel, but then you are stuck carrying around a laptop, regardless of how small it is. If tablets are to make it anywhere in the near future, they need to be dockable to a full-sized keyboard.
I fart in the general direction of Diablo's "hardcore" mode. I want the game to literally kill me! The game over screen should include a bright tunnel with dead relatives at the end.

Ah, I see. You're from Jersey. That explains quite a lot.
Have fun living in a hell hole!

Oh, I stand corrected. I'm actually _2_ orders of magnitude more senior than you. So, you see, I will admit I'm wrong when I am.
Ah, so you are just grumpy and old? That explains it. Although I think this might explain it better: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/
Show me how using ELUDE rather than ALLUDE is a pun and I will also admit I'm wrong.
Oh? You can't? What a pisser.
See my above post.
Come and get one in the yarbles, that is if you have any yarbles.
Awesome movie. Definitely the highlight of Malcolm McDowell's career.

Have a great night!

I take it you have never heard of a pun? jeebus.
I think you may have meant "alluding", but it's funnier the way you wrote it...
Nope, I meant what I wrote:-) Who says puns aren't funny?
At the risk of sounding like a grammar Nazi ... How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't even SPELL the word you're trying to use? It is "ALLUDE" not "ELUDE" (that would be when one is trying to evade capture).

You know...headphones work much better if you put them on your head instead of leaving them on a table...

How do you figure? MS has been eluding to getting back into the tablet game for quite a while...
I would like to point out that the OP posted using their account, while you posted as a coward.
Just saying...
My fiance, a 3rd grade teacher, would find unbelievable utility in an Apple slate-style computer (or any brand, for that matter.)
If nothing else, this release from Apple will get other manufacturers off their butts and start designing competitive hardware.
