Gasp! Twitter must be on to us! He is starting to use normal English in an attempt to pass a sockpuppet off as human!
Also, I think I have discovered twitter's real identity. He is obviously Adam Weishaupt!
Really, I know that twitter's sockpuppets get annoying, but lets try to not jump on everyone who replies to him and accuse them of sockpuppetry. They could just be newbies who don't know about twitter, or they might know about him and just not pay attention to whom they are replying.
You had it easy! We would have killed to have vocal cords to shout with! All we could do was jump up and down waving our arms while others were trying to figure out how to communicate.

What "free" music from Beethoven is that? Is there any place on the internet where you can legally download "free" music from Beethoven?
The problem with the buffering was that there was no way to stop and let it buffer. It would load up its pre-set buffer size, play that, stop, fill up its buffer again, play that, stop.....
Look. I understand that many people wish that the devs had included an 'off' switch. But come on. Can you honestly say that you have always considered every possible aspect of something you did before others got to look at it? Isn't it just possible that all of the dev team thought that the new address bar was "Awesome" and didn't consider the fact that some might not find it so? It's not like it's a long-standing issue or something, why don't we let them at least have time to work on an update to re-integrate the old functionality as an option before we accuse them of deliberately ignoring their users?
Its pretty amusing really on some level. This is the sort of thing we routinely ridicule our less nerdy counterparts for... we mock them for their refusal to use a product called 'firefox' because it doesn't sound 'professional' like 'internet explorer'... we ridicule their inability and/or blind refusal to cope with even a slight deviation in user interface... we tell anecdotes about how we had to set Windows XP's theme to classic before our bosses could/would use it...because it was scary and different... or because it looked like 'candy' and they didn't want to use a childish OS.
And yet here we are...
My kingdom for mod points. You, sir, hit the nail on its proverbial head.

Wait, wait, wait. You just said 'cunt' but you deliberately avoided 'penis'?
I have a present for you.

Very funny Andy. You can knock it off now.

Um...yeah.
At least google something before claiming it doesn't exist on the internet.
That link is three years old. Fail.
One of the better analogies on /. actually.

Really got annoying.
That would be "Idiots can't write English."
And, by the way, no one care's.
Let them eat cake!
Cake or Death?
Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake.
There are so many good quotes with cake in them.
That one is getting old.

No, Republicans say "Spotted what now?"
How is this different than when airplanes were first available?
Don't worry, I'm sure it will be regulated soon enough.
You forgot one factor in your argument: Time spent working on project.
27 Years VS About a week.
You do the math.
My God! You're right!
You know what's even more dangerous? Airplanes!
Imagine if these things ever were allowed off the ground. People would be flying into houses all of the time. Time to work on that force field!

Dude.

How would adding more votes help?
49.5% would vote for the Republicrat, 49.5% would vote for the Democan, and the other 1% would 'throw away' their vote on an Independent.

Where do we get a list of Foxconn motherboards?
Um, did you try the internet?
Um, well, isn't this the internet?
No, this is Abuse.
