Is it just me, or is it time to institute a "2nd level" of the firehose to weed out shit like this (and the article posted before this) that somehow manages to get through?
From TFA, first line:
Just lately it seems to be the fashion amongst writers on the internet to compare and criticise operating systems. Joke article, right?
They're not allowing a release of any AO titles simply because they won't make any money off them - The major retailers (Walmart, Target, Best Buy) and game stores (Gamestop/EB/etc) have their own company policies of not stocking AO titles. What sense does it make for the three console manufacturers to allow a game to be released on their system if it won't sell? It'd only make *their* system look bad, and none of them (especially Sony) can afford that right now.
So when will Printer & Ink cartridge manufacturers be investigated for price fixing & collusion? I know that various RAM manufacturers were being investigated last year and this year for price fixing. If it can be proven that they're knowingly telling consumers to replace their cartridges when they're not empty, then they'd be in a world of shit. (Or at least have to pay a hefty fine)... I smell class-action.
Since when does OSI have power over *anything*? This would be like the American Peanut Council complaining that certain products said they "may contain peanuts," when they actually didn't.
When you were a child, you didn't partake in virtual killings of people with "allegedly" (because I haven't seen it yet) graphic footage. Are you under the impression that a snuff film is appropriate for children?
Since you capitalized both NSA and PR, I'm assuming you know where the shift or Caps Lock keys are, so here's a pointer: In English, the first letter of the first word of a sentence gets capitalized. Bravo.
Would you support another breaucracy to take care of electronic threats? Perhaps the EPA - I'd imagine even those tree-huggers could do a better job of securing networks than the clowns in the DHS.
I guess it's true what they say... a mechanic's car is always the last to get fixed. Since this analogy isn't applicable in this case, maybe you're confused (?)... DHS was created in response to the 9/11 attacks, and responds to potential terrorist threats and attacks on US soil. They're not a group of IT guys or white hats.
My boss asked me to order a new computer for our small, non-profit business. Wanting to support Dell in their decision to sell computers with Ubuntu installed, I decided to order one.
It's a good thing they wouldn't sell you one. Your boss asked you to order a "computer." He likely assumed he'd be getting something with MS Windows. Had an Ubuntu-loaded box shown up, your ass would have been reamed out. Oh yeah, and non-profits are called "organizations," not "businesses," which makes me question the entire truthiness of your story.
Bill Gates is the devil.
Down with the evil empire.
Ubuntu is so EASY, my grandmother uses it all the time!
Hmm.. what else...
Oh yeah, I have a picture of Linus in my whackin' stash.
Employees eager to use the cool new gadget, however, may pressure IT departments to support iPhones even if it means incurring more costs and changing policies. Because corporations regularly change their policies based on the flavor of the week, right? How long did it take to get Blackberries endorsed and supported?

Slow news day.

You're afraid of Inspector Clouseau?
It was a tailor-made slashvertisement, duh.
Given that both the UK and Ireland banned the game outright, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

...so I decided to purchase the remaining stocks in Europe. You need to find yourself a girlfriend.Since when does OSI have power over *anything*? This would be like the American Peanut Council complaining that certain products said they "may contain peanuts," when they actually didn't.
Is that marketing-speak for File manager/Windows explorer search function?

You've gotta be fucking kidding me.
So, you feel that a game where the entire object is to 'realistically' kill people in different fashions should be played by kids?

Exactamundo!
No, it's not. Cyber-terrorism is a buzzword made up by idiots.
You're a true American hero. Unless you voted for Kerry, in which case you're a terrorist.
Wrong - Pauly Shore did it first, Budddddddddy. Biodome ftw.
