This. I've tried meta-moderating, but it's never worked.
I've received mod points fairly regularly, tho, and they don't always necessarily work - it's a crapshoot.
I know peeps complain about the new style, etc., but I think most of my problems are a result of using Firefox. If I really, really want to moderate a conversation, and it doesn't work, I switch to Chrome or Konqueror, and it works without issue.
As for Firefox, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, often in the same Firefox session; I've tried it with proxy on, proxy off, adblock on/off; there are no "script" type addons (privoxy suits my needs), so I'm stumped.
Whilst I doubt that this post will get modded UP, since there is the scent of hate (normal knee-jerk reaction to ac will be modded troll, or flamebait), I find this post both interesting and informative, and fairly-well written.
Indeed - "Script Your Phone", right there on the beta flash screen.
There's a bunch of us on this board who will easily liken it to basic bash scripting. How long before MS patents scripting and then claims that *nix violates about 236 patents?
B-b-b-but Android has fragments, and open sores, and isn't shiny, and doesn't require chin-beards, nor turtlenecks, nor doves.
And Android has something to do with Google.
And where is the wall to this garden? How can we protect ourselves from ourselves? Who will look after our best interests, if not for the wonderful folks at Apple?
Look, up in the sky...it's a bird!...it's a plane!....no, wait, it's, it's Windows Phone 7!!!! The choice of everyone who will never buy or use a smartphone!
Yay! Microsoft comes to the rescue, once again.....thanks cloud.
cheers,
ps. MS, instead of money, please send me a tablet even though you think they're a fad.
It's early in the thread, so I'll get the astroturfing over with post-haste.
The only corporation that has any clue as to what constitutes effective security is Microsoft. Everything Microsoft does is great. The iPad isn't anywhere near as great as the yet-to-be-released tablet that Microsoft is planning.
Have I mentioned, yet, how great Microsoft is? Google is actually evil, despite what they say.
If Microsoft wasn't great, they would have 0% market share.
And even though I have a 7 year old cellphone, which I use sparingly (prepaid ftw), if I were to bother with a smartphone, it would definitely be something with Microsoft Windows Phone 7.
OK, MIcrosoft: where's my moola?
cheers,
ps - afaict, there are no ms-related products in my life, and there *probably* never will be. Slackware 13.37 RC 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716 ftw!
The original post is actually microsoft astroturfing with a mozilla wrapper. Notice how the comment ends with Microsoft...Windows 7.
An AC pointed out the timestamp issue, was *corrected*, and others have pointed out this type of behaviour from various posters with IDs in the same general range as the OP.
Tinfoil hats? I dunno, but the fact that MobileTatsu-NJG's post was modded *Flamebait*, by anyone (though it's certain to be corrected, since it's become OBVIOUS that it's not even remotely fb....) speaks volumes.
Totally agree...I'm emailing the comment immediately to my kids; probably won't change their behaviour, but will definitely make them pause to think....
Anyone who was in #target should *know* that amazon.com was never a target. I'm sure that this has been alluded to, previously....
The whole amazon.com non-attack was based on someone's (or many ones') tweet that amazon.com was a target, and since mainstream media was heavily monitoring twitter (as opposed to #target...)
Perhaps it was an *intentional* diversion - anyone who may have been monitoring either #target, or even the loic software, on hivemind, knows that the target, (when amazon.com was supposedly being targeted) was api.paypal.com.

I remember walking unaided; now I have other people carry me. I can't imagine walking under my own power anymore.
You: I don't care, so I'll post here to prove it
Me: ?
cheers,
Did someone say that Slackware didn't support grub? Where?
Rather, someone suggested that "no one really uses lilo." This is far from the truth.
Let's make up something else:
No one in this thread is lacking reading comprehension.
cheers,
So, you're saying that no one really uses Slackware?
Really?
I must be no one.
cheers,
I'd like you all to join me in modding this comment "insightful."
cheers,
Doe anyone really find this strange, since my own personal made-up statistics show that most men have some porn stashed somewhere....?
It would be more discomforting if they couldn't find his porn....
cheers,

In related news, WinRumors reports that even they couldn't find anyone who cares anymore.
iRumors reports that dull is the new shiny.
AndRumors reports that root is the end of all evils.

Perhaps they'll run on Linux if Wine is installed....

What is truly unbelievable is that it requires a Facebook login to see a fucking picture.
If that's the case, then how's about a giant "Who gives a fuck".

why can't it be saved? people used to say the same about apple before it came out with the ipod/itunes
You mean, before Microsoft propped it up with a huge cash infusion, don't you?
cheers,
Is it still early where you are? If so, get some caffeine into you, pronto.
If it's not early, you'd better wean yourself from those drugs.
Holy whooooosh, batman.

Perhaps the original story was sent via chinese gmail; it's all messed up, or so they say.
Yes, piracy is responsible for everything.
B-b-but, what about piracy's children? Can we not think of them?
cheers,
I can't wait to set up my Tim Horton's trailer; coffee, donuts, and all the Bieber them troops'll ever need.
cheers,
What are these Valentine's Day and girlfriends you speak of?
Can I use the drill press to kill my wife? There's a bunch of stuff my friend put on my hard drive that I have to save for him.
