We'll forgive you. Except for the French. No, not them. The rest of you Europeans, okay.

I also find the adjustments aren't that good: it doesn't allow you to lock the back in a fixed position, only to limit how far back it tilts.

Mine locks back in the fixed position just fine.

No more submissions from this dipshit. Although, reading his rants were quite a scream, not to mention "kewl!" My favorite, in no particular order:

1. Cluetrain is Clueless (24 "yers" in one rant)!

2. Common Shallow Phrases Translated (I'm guessing he's been rebuffed by women on more than one occasion).

3. The Fallacy of the Techno-Slacker (alt.Carl.Steadman.ate.my.balls) (J. Scott is the KING of all he surveys)!

Re:No impact

On: ICQ Banishes Children Under 13

Putting incorrect data on there is a crime. If you're a kid and you change your age in the profile then they have a responsiblity to contact the appropriate LEA and report the attempted bypassing of a federal law. That itself is a felony.

So, exactly which federal agency has enforcement responsibility for this law? I don't know where you got your info but do you really think the feds are gonna slap FELONY charges on a 12 year old for lying about his age on ICQ? I work for a municipal LEA and I can just imagine the laughter if you called us attempting to report this bs...

Your average desktop user has the IQ of a lobotomized flatworm.

The average desktop user has an average IQ.

The average desktop user does not have the computer knowledge of most of the self-proclaimed geniuses that post on this site. That does not make them "clueless," "losers," or any of the other comments that people with less-than-genius computer knowledge are called on this site.

If you have such a poor self-image that you feel compelled to make comments like this to make yourself look superior, get some therapy. Otherwise, please lose this attitude. It doesn't help.
