It would be cool if Canonical would put out the ad specifically for Ubuntu. But then every other distro would start to do it and there would be more Linux commercials on TV than people could handle. If you thought seeing ShamWOW! every 5 minutes was annoying...
That's a fair enough point, but who else beside Conanical or Red Hat or the other few big names could afford it?
I wonder if CoS thinks they're above the law... oh, wait, I have excessive reason to already believe that they're unequivocally beyond redemption as human beings.
Scientology is a perfect, absolutely stunning program to systematically turn anyone into a depraved monster or one of the many slaves they suck the life from, from Lincoln to Cleveland, from family to the smallest part of the mind that makes a person a person.
I guess it would be... flexible then, at least. I don't know, my vocabulamary is all bad or something. I'm freaking tired and I have a fever. I'm also freaking out, freaking out freaking tired.
Steam is DRM, but it's very clever DRM. As for not being able to share games, just give your friends your account information. Oh, yeah, I mean, if you can't trust them you might have some problems... but, I trust all my friends... I think...
That's a good question to ask someone, "Do you trust your friends?"
"Oh yeah, I sure do!"
"Yeah, but would you let them use your Steam account you've spent like, 600 dollars on?"
I'm all confused, you said you're not a coffee user then you said you had to add milk to your coffee to cool it down..
You do have to make coffee with boiling water, which is about 210 fahrenheit. The coffee McDonalds serves you, RIGHT OFF THE WARMER, can be towards 250 fahrenheit.
The more heat you have, the harder it is to dissipate. When you add cold water to hot water, you're not removing any heat, you're moving that energy across a larger area which allows it to dissipate more easily.
So, you have this coffee that has 20-40 degrees of effectively more energy, served to you in a cup that is a surprisingly good insulator for how thin and fragile it is, and if you spill this cup on your skin it's that much more energy your skin will receive.
I know some people aren't quite like me, but I have a coffee pot that's open to air after the coffee's brewed, then I pour it in an open top ceramic cup, and let it sit some time before I have it.
At most McDonalds, and many other places, there's very little time between when that coffee leaves it's insulated carafe, travels through the drive through window, and you must find somewhere to put it before you can attempt to quaff the blazing hot, obnoxious concoction.
Microsoft can not be held liable in a court of law because we have too much money. Please desist from attempting to undermine out omnipotence, for you, the consumer, will be ridiculed by our marketing department via clever advertising that essentially says "Fuck you, we're Microsoft" by has-been comedians and former CEOs.
Oh, didn't get that, huh? See, we're way too smart for you puny doo-doo heads. We came up with the most incredible insult in history and it went *WOOSH* over the majority of consumers. You pathetic mortals.
The cup of coffee may be hot was actually a pretty good argument. McDonalds coffee is such a shitty, freeze dried process that it was necessary for them to heat their water much hotter than it normally takes to brew coffee, so hot it really could cause serious harm while 'normal' coffee just hurt, unless directly exposed to the eyes or sensitive membranes.
The label shouldn't just say hot, it should say "This shitty bean soup is so fucking hot it can cause second degree burns".
Anyway, this is just a non-story, but as any MS story, it seems like it's our job to bash them at any price.
That's right, God damnit! Microsoft will receive no clemency from the crowd of highly anti-Microsoft geeks and lesser geeks and posers. Revolutions aren't spontaneous, they come from years of social discordance and are seldom rational.
It's inevitable, many people feel hurt, insulted by what Microsoft merely is and less so what they've actually done, and the voices will cry louder and louder and even more biased.
Whether the majority really decides if Microsoft deserves this treatment or not, there's not a whole lot of people standing up for Microsoft without any incentive to do so.
They're losing, losing customers, losing perceived value, losing touch with reality if judged by those awful commercials. How can't the anonymous masses knock them?

Or just swap out and leave home to charge!
You worry too much, it's not like those asian workers who made batteries got exposed to cadmium or lithium or mercury or lead dust or anything.
It's people like you that really drive down the economy with your fear mongering.
But it's not like we need supercapacitors, our environment is perfectly fine with all the batteries we throw into it.

Oh, that's too good...
Who the Hell tagged that flamebait? It's a perfectly fair question, what company did do that?
Oh, God, the irony, Google Ads gave me a 'What is Scientology?' video from scientology.org.

I conclude you already have with your comment as evidence.

Tell us, how epic was the face-palm when you realized you didn't post anonymously?
No, I'm great at sarcasm, just not at ironic sarcasm.
Microsoft can not be held liable for failure to read the directions carefully. Use product at own risk.

it'd be so easy to ship out repair kits, little styrofoam stickers and a picture of where to put them. There, lawsuit avoided. Maybe.
I see you put down the loony candy, this post had me a little worried about one of the more insightful Slashdotters.

Nothing like I remember but still fun.
Maybe I just suck at irony.
That actually makes amazing sense, it's like some kind of startling gaze into your Id.
Do it more o.o
Well, damn. I can think of some CTO's who'd just buy that stuff up, or at least one...
Isn't there another story about sarcasm going on around here somewhere?
I wonder if whoever called sarcasm the lowest form of wit was demented.
