  4. Who Cares about Rim, when there's Windows? on RIM's Playbook On Clearance · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Windows 7 tablet is the greatest tablet ever. It is the top seller in Listanbul, Elbania, Drateskustan, Simbia and Australasia. It combines the superb technological hardware from Torchiba and the world class Microsoft OS, renowned and acclaimed for its ability to be snappy on all devices - phones, potatoes, tablets, netbooks and hot tubs.

    Android just totally sucks, and I can't figure out why anyone would want an iPad. Like "eewww."

    I'm curious as to why not.

    "cheers" is used as a valediction. So, normally, it would be:

    However, since the nic is inferred, I leave it out.

    Fearmongering?

    Let's suppose someone from Time-Warner decides that "your own photography" resembles theirs? "your own videos" resemble theirs (how could *anyone* possibly have the same or similar ideas as anyone else?)

    Once *someone-with-more-pull ($$)* than you decides that you're infringing on their widespread copyright/trademarks/patents, you're doomed.

    You may feel that you're immune, but you won't be; there simply aren't enough checks and balances to ensure you're immune. The dollars win every time.

    We could go on forever, however, riddle me this:

    When you perused the headline, then the summary...did you have any *inkling* whatsoever, that InterestingFella would have the first post? That it would have the same timestamp as the submission? (ya, it's Firehose! yep, Firehose!). That, despite having the same timestamp, the spelling/grammar is usually good; that the thoughts seem pretty-well laid out, embedded links, sales info? Cursory competitor bash? Shall I continue?

    Of course you did. If it's not frosty piss, it's this weeks incarnation of the same dude.

    Please explain why you want to forbid someone from having a positive opinion about microsoft products?

    I use their compilers daily and couldn't be more happier. Its my opinion that their developer tools are superior to everything else that I've used.

    Only if you explain where I said I wanted to forbid anyone from having any opinion about anything.

    The portion you've quoted is an example of the general tone of the OP's numerous first posts; it's bullshit because it's constant, persistent, and ultimately exasperating, not because it's necessarily untrue or exaggerated.

    Perhaps, rather than "setting the stage", and anchoring every discussion each and every time there's a chance to promote MS and/or dis anyone but MS (google, linux, geese), our wizard can hold off and enter once the discussion has begun. Methinks his "points" may not stand much of a chance, once the tone of the discussion is set by someone else.

  14. Re:Easily explainable: Nokia on Speculating On What a Microsoft Superphone Might Mean · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you cant recognize that Microsoft has made SOME great products, then youre either ignorant or a fanboy, and probably both. Examples: Exchange, Outlook, Excel, Visio (FINALLY there is a worthy competitor in Gliffy),

    Win7 (Hows gnome3 / Unity treating you?), etc.

    Nice try.

    So I'm either ignorant or a fanboy? How's about neither. Try realist. I don't recall saying that MS has made NO great products. The same way I didn't say I hated ducks. But keep demonstrating where your level of comprehension is, and perhaps I can dumb my posts down (even more) for you.

    Gnome/Unity? Seriously? Fluxbox, ftw.

    Keep flaming, tho. Looks good on you.

    This obvious troll is obvious has gotten out of hand.

    Seriously, it would be wonderful, just once, for InterestingInsightbitesCmdPony et al ad infinitum to STFU, and perhaps enter the fray once the discussion begins, rather than rushing to be the first post with all the ms tripe.

    Ducks, "great software" from Microsoft, google sucks, etc.

    All just pure bullshit and astroturf.

    With the added bonus of modding oneself up, with who-knows-how-many aliases, and modding anyone who points out the obvious troll, down.

    Really, it would be nice to, just once, to read a discussion that isn't anchored by some preselected MS astroturf.
