Well it actually is a straw man because he sets up a case, the junior admin screwing up the machine, as a reason to avoid rebooting. That by definition is a straw man.Trust me, I'm a trolling expert and I know a troll when I see one. He's trolling for page views.
They're careless dumb assholes who don't do shit. That's what's wrong with slashdot. Don't believe me? Email them. If you get a response I'll suck your junk ASAP.
Dude I'd say this in person no sweat. I'm a real life fucking tough guy that has done multiple bids in a couple different prisons. Whereas you're just a bitch that knows how to work the dick like a microphone. So be thankful you aren't here talking out the side of your neck because your ego would get checked big time.
That being said, you never read the article. Congrats, you made a point that people buy the iPad. Now move along bitch.
You touted the Apple stock price in other posts, so I guess my reading skills are fine. It's you, talking down your nose because your stock portfolio is doing well, that needs a kick in the ass.
The OP stated that he thought they were a niche and probably over priced as a whole. You just quoted Apple stock prices over and over. Okay they made money. Many luxury brands do. But since you never read the FUCKING ARTICLE you never realized that it was OTHER tablets they were talking about such as the Motorola Xoom.
So who's the fucker that can't read now? Oh, that's you.
Something to consider is that most answers here will be "it's not too much" because most people here are privileged when it comes to both salary and technology.
Jesus H fucking Christ the next guy that quotes the Apple stock is going to make my head explode. Apple stock does not equal the iPad being a good device. It sells well. You know what else sells well? People magazine. Spray on tanner. Britney Spears albums. Bubble Gum. Need I go on? Your logic is illogical dumb ass.
You made a wise investment. Congrats. Now get your head out of your ass and realize it has NOTHING to do with whether a tablet is good purchase or if some of them may be priced too high.
Seriously, is this the best we can do? Quoting stock prices? And you come off in this "well I'M doing well so fuck you guys" attitude. No sir, FUCK YOU.
I'm not an Apple hater. I'm a guy that decided to not buy an iPad and that's all. My point was that market sales don't automatically equal a great thing. Unless you think the Ford Taurus was the best car ever and the pet rock cannot be equaled.
Get off your "we are apple" horse. You ain't shit. You're a guy that bought things from Apple and you think it identifies you like the guy that drives that big truck thinks he's a fucking cowboy. It's not my problem, your delusion. Only pointing out that the idiots in America don't collectively turn into the gurus of decision-making through numbers.
So what? Why do other people buying them make me not buying one a bad choice? It's that kind of dumb shit that sells these things. Are you investing in these things or something? Because from my viewpoint you're just a person that bought a toy and I fail to see how quoting Gartner means fuck all in this context..
That's fair and totally your choice. I commend voting with your wallet. I hated the older versions of WinMo so I can relate. I like the new Phone7 OS though over iOS but less than Android. My personal phone is Android but I develop for all 3 platforms and I'm pleased where MS is going, basically copying the good parts. They still have a way to go but we'll see.
Teams of assassins have just been sent from various parts of the world to kill you. This type of thinking must be dealt with. Choices? Freedom? Cease and desist immediately!
Well in fairness to them, who will assist them more Google or MS?
Microsoft has to really make some huge inroads into the territory after losing so much of the market to Android and iOS and I think they will do whatever it takes. So yes, technically Android is probably a better choice. But business-wise? Who wouldn't want MS coming in as a pinch-hitter? You're already up against the wall and MS has a track record of going the extra mile for its partners both financially and technically. Even if you "lose" you've won and you walk away richer.
How does one allow another to use a word exactly? Language evolves my friend. Evolve with it or you'll be very very angry in life. You obviously understand the meaning so the message was conveyed properly. So what's the big deal?

Well they do own the thing. Here's what defines ownership: one who can apply the most force and physically control it.

I speak Ste-phen Haw-king you in-sen-si-tive clod.
If a server going down is a big deal then perhaps you aren't as good as you think. Just a thought..
Seriously, if your setup isn't virtual save the preaching because you're stuck in the past.

They don't need to use Windows to be an idiot.

No we're telling people they're fucking stupid, not how to spend their money.

Sorry sorry I had that all wrong. I can only debug your mother's chip using JTAG. The code I write requires ANSI C.
I code on your mother's chip using JTAG.
He said he loaded a ROM. I read it just fine asshole.
