    That's true, but the preferences set in your operating system on your computer are exclusively the responsibility of the user. If it's detrimental for Windows to download updates without telling you, you should not have selected that option when prompted at install.

    The point he was trying to make was a semantic one. I'm positive he realizes bandwidth and congestion thereof can affect throughput and "latency," but strictly speaking, bandwidth and latency ARE separate measurements ENTIRELY. Latency has a very strict definition in addition to its in practice definition.

    (Win7 decides to background download some new service pack and hogs too much bandwidth and you're done with no understanding of why).

    Your fault, not theirs.

    60fps is bare minimum?

    You've lost your damned mind. Maxing out at 60 fps wouldn't have anything to do with "lag," you or the people you're referring to are completely clueless.

    Pretty lame. I always laugh at people with like 600 friends, since it really just seems like some kind of popularity contest at that point instead of some actual attempt at keeping up with people.

    I acknowledge that I'm in the minority, but I also frequently prune my friends list of people that I don't have any interest in, or accepted on a whim but am not furthering my relationship with.

    This nested discussion stems from an Apple fanboy bringing up how much better the OS is than Android, actually. Kind of silly to say what you said, isn't it?

    It's more insulting to the marine to suggest that he wouldn't be able to control his violent temper than it is to suggest you should be afraid to say something to someone. That's what all this, "Ooooh, I wish someone would punch you!" nonsense boils down to, and that's what it's always boiled down to on the internet.

    It's like those embarrassing chain letters where someone punches out the liberal/atheist/controversial figure and champions it like some kind of victory for their cause, when it reality, it just makes them look like violent, petulant children.

    But that's all trolling is. Name-calling and what boils down to "Say that to my face!" is used almost exclusively to get a rise out of people over the internet, and somewhere along the way, someone decided they didn't want that kind of drivel on their BBS and outlined such in the rules.

    I'm not arguing for or against your point, just that it's trolling, or at the very least, flamebait. You can surely convey your opinions on the subject without sophomoric insults and threats.

    Well, where the dollar is used, saying "a dollar bill" refers to $1. "Any dollar bill" would be widely interpreted as "Any $1 bill."
