  1. For Shame, Timothy! on Hard Drives Preloaded With GNU-Darwin · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What's this guy paying y'all? I almost never post, but I read very often. I've never seen you stoop so low. This is sad.

  2. Katz, when speaking to a techie-heavy audience, on The Widening Tech-Savvy Gap · · Score: 0

    you REALLY should avoid open insult. We in Tech Support deal with twits like you who decide they'll "fix it", and then scream at us over the resulting evil mess they made.

    Go to your doctor with such a tale. You'll be lucky if he ever agrees to see you again! No professional takes as much unmerited abuse as a tech support person. May you reap what you sow, you unmigitated ass!

  3. Hey, Johnnie! on Online Retailing Comes of Age · · Score: 1

    Over-generalization sucks. We get customers who are abusive and arrogant. They call and tell us what we should do, instead of just letting us find out what's going on. - A Tech Supporter

    Some of us, my dear moron, DON'T PROGRAM!!!! (the exclamation points are to get this thru your filters, ie. that thick skull.) Why is it that half the people on this site think everyone is either stupid or lazy if they can't immediately whip out a piece of code?

    Hey, AC, I'm straight myself, buy I really hope you open that cavernous, gay-bashing mouth in front of someone who leaves you a PERMANANT place for your soda straw (by removing a few teeth.)

    My, my, my... from stupidity, to paranoia, to banality... B.E. is simply a VERY bad movie that someone with the ability to write wants to trash! You know, kind of what I'm doing to your alleged intelligent comments...

  9. Re:What's the difference? on Criminal Libel, Free Speech And The Net · · Score: 1

    This isn't a lawsuit, this is a criminal charge that they're talking about. That's a whole other thing. Also, no matter how offensive, if this kid can prove what he claims then it ain't libel, baby!

  12. Re:Fair labelling on Four Arrested For Internet 'Theft' At OSU · · Score: 1

    Try a legal dictionary yourself. Theft does NOT apply only to an item you can hold or touch. Try electronic currency theft, for example. Those criminals get theft as well as computer-related charges.

    theft
    n. the generic term for all crimes in which a person intentionally and fraudulently takes personal property of another without permission or consent and with the intent to convert it to the taker's use (including potential sale). In many states, if the value of the property taken is low (for example, less than $500) the crime is "petty theft," but it is "grand theft" for larger amounts, designated misdemeanor or felony, respectively. Theft is synonymous with "larceny." Although robbery (taking by force), burglary (taken by entering unlawfully) and embezzlement (stealing from an employer) are all commonly thought of as theft, they are distinguished by the means and methods used and are separately designated as those types of crimes in criminal charges and statutory punishments.

    My, oh my, what an INTELLIGENT response. Why don't we ALL just resort to mindless name calling when there's nothing smart to say. But you're an ANONYMOUS COWARD, so it's OK, no one will know who's being such an idiot.

    Sorry, Mr. Malda, it appears I'm back again. Just a little frustration gone astray. Ignore me. - Diplomat

    Hello, Mr.ANONYMOUS COWARD, why don't you stand up and tell us who you are? (web sig, email address). If my sig doesn't show up, it's because Malda & friends appear to have lost me somehow, and since it's the 3rd time, I give up. But if I DO appear as "anonymous coward", my sig is Adiplomat, and my email is at hotmail.com. You, sir, are the kind of mindless flamer who makes /. such an unrewarding place to be lately. By the way, if you are bothered about the wrong people answering your mindless flames, try ADDRESSING them to the individual concerned, as I have. This would take a little bit of IQ, though, so it's probably hopeless. Why don't you, (and all the others like you on /.), go bother someplace where people aren't actually trying to get things said. - not much of a DIPLOMAT

    Kudos to an Anonymous Coward!! The previous poster's comment would have been just as (or more) effective without the doggone flame! I didn't know how to fill my tooth, but the dentist didn't call me a "dumbass" he just fixed it! (By the way, I do have issues with all the "Anonymous Cowards" out there.

Ask your local charity if time and $$$ are worthless! He invested his money for the fees, and his time to make sure the domain went where it should. I DEFY you to say that his money and time are not equivalent to "work". BTW, I hear that Red China is allegedly still Socialist in the way you seem to admire.....

    Define "work". Is buying and selling stock "work"? Is writing a hit single or game "work"? Please be careful how you use my language, I don't want it broken by someone misusing it. By the way, the true "worker's paradise" is where everyone like their work so much that they don't think of it as work. This is why there will never be a "worker's paradise"
