You don't suppose Windows has enough PC marketshare to warrant producing hard-drives specifically compatible with a feature therein?
There sure were a lot of hardware manufacturers trying to fit inside that "Vista Ready"/Vista Compliant or whatever bullshit for that to be true, weren't there?
I'm not sure why Microsoft producing a Windows-only product would in any way harm their sales.

Why is Mr. High-And-Mighty bothering to post on/. with such important world matters such as the oil in the Gulf, world hunger, nuclear proliferation and North/South Korean relationships escalating?
You must live a very busy life.
Because "Stuff that Matters" is right on the subtitle for the website.
The victim first has to click on a malicious link while logged into Facebook.
I won't be sinking investment capital into the new countermeasures just yet. This is the same survival-of-the-least-retarded that was in effect when all the computer resource whores stopped running antivirus apps in the first place.
(When the hell did "I disagree with your opinion" become the reason for modding someone flamebait or troll? Get your shit together, stupid moderators.)
Realistically, the only reason to ever mod someone down is because you, in one way or another, disagree with their views.
I believe we can keep it mostly civil, since I don't give enough of a shit about the iPad to become a target for you, but look at what you posted in response to Zironic's first post there.
Look at it.
Tell me that isn't the most trollish, childish nonsense you could think of? That's why I called you a fanboy. If you're not, that's cool, but you're really acting like it.
Your posts in this discussion have been numerous and overwhelmingly pro-Apple, so I'm not too sure about some of things you're saying here.
How about instead of flagrantly insulting people we discuss what's good and bad about the damned thing? Instead of calling people fucktards for saying, "It's an underspecced device," or "I'd gladly pay a THOUSAND dollars for a competent notepad viewer!" we make it a little less obvious which side of the fence we're on. It's basically just creating a bias against our user name's when we post in the future.
I'm not sure why it's so important to you to reshape reality to your whims, but...
Who is this ubiquitous "slashdot crowd," then? I would say my statements contribute to the "slashdot consensus," as much as any other nerd's, and I never said what you're saying I said. You're basically insisting that we think this thing that we don't think, and I'm not sure I understand why. No one's "retconning" anything. I don't have any sense of pride revolving around whether or not Apple does well, or Dell or Microsoft who whoever you happen to be opposed to, and therefore affiliate me with, succeeding.
How is it a troll to bring up the price when the person I'M REPLYING TO said it was great for web-surfing and e-mail? Get your heads out of your asses, mods.

The micro-discussion was actually regarding Microsoft's ReadyDrive, and the mention that it was a selling point to Vista.
Actually, this whole thread is an offshoot of a comment comparing the drive's function to ReadyBoost.

Case in point: see above.

So what is the bad point of this "disease"?
I wouldn't call extreme flexibility a disease.
Someone already posted this.
Non sequitur. He asked if ANYONE saw that, and you said MOST OF US can read.
Is anyone else tired of people making stupid "lol I misread the title this funny way" posts in desperate attempts to whore Funny moderations?
Remember, I asked if ANYONE is, not if EVERYONE is.
Did anyone else see "Wikileaks founder Assassinated" before taking a second look?
No, most of us can read.
DS games are basically SD cards.
You're thinking of the MicroSD card you stick in your cart-loader. :)
No need to ride in to protect the innocent here, Mr action hero.
Isn't that exactly what you're doing, just from the opposite side of the argument? :/

Because the "lol Apples are for people that HAVE A LIFE" mentality is the most obnoxious thing to come out of the Apple vs. Everything else dichotomy.
That's...exactly what I just said.
I truly hope you're being sarcastic, but am terrified that you may not be.
Don't even reply to that guy, he's the most rabid fanboy I've ever seen.

Stop being a fanboy.
You're mixing up your dependent and independent variables.

Any more bizarre personal pride in the success of a product you have nothing to do with that you want to throw our way?
Settle down, Cujo.

Being wrong about what? They have the exact same specs and operate in exactly the same way they were projected when everyone decided they were crap.
