Dude don't waste your time posting pro-microsoft stuff on slashdot and then expect rational moderation. It just does not compute. Everybody moderate according to their own agenda.
Next time you call technical support be nice and don't swear. Technical staff is much more effective went they are treated like human beings.
Being called a mother fucking asshole does not make me feel sorry for the client. I won't plead their cause to the supervisor. I just write the case as "Client was swearing and cursing at me. I told him to stop, he refused I was forced to hang up on him."
That goes for every people you will meet in life. Swearing at people will get you only the minimum to shut you up and leave.
Actually, in my opinion, The register is worse than slashdot to troll Microsoft but they are less funny : they don't show Microsoft ads while they bash them.
Oh yeah I forgot the hammer analogy too. Very flawed. Hammers are not ideas they are material like I explained. I can't argue with material analogy because ideas aren't.
I know about your constitution being about everybody even non-citizens. That's very cool. I also know there's an exception for the part about voting too because that wouldn't make any sense.
I'll keep you on my friend list. (The enemy list is for stupid peple only !) If you have a journal I'll read it for sure.
I was talking about the ability/inability of the Xbox to play burned CDs. I should have been more clearer, sorry. Microsoft gave their users the right to play only legitimate CDs and DVDs on their machine. Why ? Because the last company (Sega) that let their users use burned media where literally raped my their own users. ISOs were traded on the internet, shop sold burned media at 5$ each instead of the original software. Nobody's interested in that kind of business. I'm not talking about constitutionnal rights here. I'm all ok about human rights. Stealing is still a crime and coyright infrigments is still another crime. No problem there either. I'm just saying you have to punish a few to stop the mass of lardass that want to throw shit in the fan just because they don't want to pay for what they want.
You want something ? Make it yourself or pay someone for it. That's the way it's supposed to be. Chair, food, whatever you want you have to pay. Pizza's don't grow in trees you know. Make something less material that hits more the mind and the imagination. If it deals more with ideas and your brain and everybody want your stuff for free. Song, software, movies, books they have the same thing in common : they have a part that does not exist in the real world. Songs express emotions (some good some bad, let's not judge quality here), movies and books tell stories (some are goods). Software tells a computer in which order to add 0s and 1s to give us interactive pictures and song (some have bugs in them). But somehow it must look really stupid to pay for an idea because everybody's trying to warez stuff and trade music and videos instead of paying the people who made it. You have to work like crazy to protect your ideas.
Then everybody use some lame excuse that they don't do illegal stuff they only listen to their own music and videos they ripped. Some really do and it's for them that I felt sorry. They had the right to do whatever they wanted but other abused it.
Sell more device maybe. But they won't sell more license to game publishers because their game are now easy to copy and traded on alt.games.xbox.iso. Xbox won't follow the way of the Dreamcast. I feel sorry for the people who wants to do legit stuff with their Xbox but last time people were given those liberties they abused it and raped those that gave them these rights. It's normal the balance goes the other way now.

How dare do you question moderation and meta-moderation ?
Only a [Microsoft fanboy/Linux hater/Pro Xbox/DRM lover] would say such a thing.
Wasn't Master of Magic 2 made under the name Age of Wonders ?
This is slashdot : trolls get's modded +5 Funny or +3 informative. It's better than TheRegister who's written directly in troll.
I don't feel sorry for you.

Amen brother.
I've seen a lot of grid in the last 5 years but the VsFlexGrid beat them all.
Also, you forgot the passage where he talk about Al Gore inventing the internet.
Does he live in a van down by the river ?
But Unreal Championship is P2P.
You can set your Xbox to be a dedicated host.
Aren't the US asking Iraq to be open source about their military installations ?

Since you've seen both sides of the fence, I'd like to know your opinion about the security of each framework.
What ? did you expect moderation to be fair ?
He comes from Vega the brightest star in the constellation Lyra.
Hey michael a good troll would have written "Microsoft terrorize New-York".
At least when you do a partisant article do it to it's fullest.
Fuck Karma.
In the word of Homer J. Simpson
"It's funny because it's true."
How can this be insightful ?
ifconfig = Linux.
Game software = windows.
Does it have a cloaking device ?
