  1. Re:twitter is everywhere!! on Norway's Yes-To-OOXML Is Formally Protested · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Maybe one of these days I'll waste an hour writing the "Twitter Failure Log" and document all of his sockpuppets.
    Yeah, go do that. Seriously, it just shows how lame you are if you're obsessed by a troll on a website all because he writes bad things about your favorite operating system.

    You do realise you could set to ignore him, problem solved!

    I'm curious why you think opening doors for people should be a male only activity.

    If you RTFA you'd realize that the Sony machine running Ubuntu was the most expensive and wasn't cracked.

    If that were true they would have gotten the ubuntu machine as well, they didn't so it's an OS specific vector.

    Me too. It's not really the suing, it's what they are charging them with and the direction they're taking which is so stupid.

  7. Re:ODF editor on OOXML on ODF Editor Says ODF Loses If OOXML Does · · Score: 1

    No one is forcing you to use it but the fact that you don't like doesn't mean it shouldn't be a standard.
    This isn't about personal use it's about a standard that everyone uses internationally to share documents. You have no choice in the matter as people will send you these documents. Government will be forced to use an ISO standard as well as any companies that do business with a government.

    A standard is open and implementable by everyone. This is impossible with Microsoft's current solution and we already have an ISO on documents that they could use. There's no need for another one just because Microsoft has not invented here syndrome.

  8. Re:Well, I disagree. on ODF Editor Says ODF Loses If OOXML Does · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You've obviously have had your head up your ass for a whole year to not know anything about Microsoft buying of ISO votes. I'm not going to bother wasting my time finding evidence for an AC, do some research next time before opening your flap.

    Any old dusty and hackish code can be thrown away and be replaced with shiny new code.
    ...full of bugs, exploits, memory leaks, etc. Yes shiny new code is superior over that old dusty code that has been debugged and stable for years.

    First hand accounts mean nothing. "Works for me" is the biggest BS line on Slashdot.

    I am glad they rejected you, you obviously have no idea what GSoC is and I am happy you're not apart of it.

    So what I can fastly see, they can track users both with ads and the more hidden (and cleverly disguised) Analytics.
    You think this is a secret? I think you're the last guy to get this and it's not even that smart as all you need is no script installed and their puny user tracking ability simply vanishes.

    From the article..

    Walmart.com now carries an updated version, the gPC2, also for $199
    I assume you meant their site because you said "on walmart" not "in walmart".
  18. More interesting from the article.. on Linux PCs Discontinued at Wal-Mart Stores · · Score: 3, Interesting
    I find this more interesting..

    Walmart.com now carries an updated version, the gPC2, also for $199, without a monitor. The site also sells a tiny Linux-driven laptop, the Everex CloudBook, for $399.
    I think it would sell better with a monitor but, whatever..
