He needs to watch more Northern Exposure. They had a good couple of episodes with a character who suffered from the same thing. As usual, TV provides all the answers.
I agree with you completely, Sun has every single one of us backed into a corner and is screwing our brains out with their voluntary $20 download deal. Those Suns of bitches should rot their asses off in prison for this type of shit.
Yesterday I was driving past a hamburger stand and they had a sign out "2 Chesseburgers for $2". Bastards are screwing me all to hell I figure. $2 for some cheeseburgers. I swear I get screwed like that every time I drive by some store that has signs.
Flipped open the newspaper this morning. The damn grocery store was advertising buy one get one free cans of beets. My big problem was with the 'buy one' part. That kind of hook is just a set up to screw a guy. Indeed, I think I was being screwed right then and there, while reading the paper. They act all nice with the 'get one free' part but behind your back they're standing just there just screwing away.
I say we stand up for our rights. No longer should we let people screw us by asking us to enter into a completely voluntary retail contract where in return for a price determined by the market we receive some good or service. That kind of shit has to stop somewhere or next thing you know web sites will be asking you to give them money in exchange for not serving you ads. I don't want to live in that kind of world and neither do you.
I have logged your last line into my archive of the reasons why Linux will win. It has been assigned ID #3927721834430493, right next to reason #3927721834430492, which was 'Linux is teh roXor5!'. If you wish you can update your prediction with an expected date of triumph.
L. Ron Hubbard is more along the lines of the J.R.R. Tolkien of the web.
A lot of his writings are published on the web, like OT III was here at Slashdot, and he spells his name in a funny fashion. The primary difference is that Tolkien didn't get around to creating a religion to bilk you idiots out of your money. Luckily Hollywood recently stepped in to do it for him.
I'm a high school student with a C- grade average. My lack of a social life allowed me to do some quick calculations based on some figures I've seen bandied about by my fellow Slashbots.
I figure so and so sells such and such amount of stuff in a year. They take in X amount of money, so unless they are losing money it can only cost them such and such to make this. I am getting ripped off if this is the case.
I think that no one on earth is better qualified to fill me in on the validity of my logic than a company that loses money hand over fist and has changed its core business at least a dozen times since it was founded a few years ago, backed up by the minds of thousands of people just like me, who have never owned anything more valuable than a semi-rare Greedo doll and who spend the majority of theie time debating the relative merits of elves versus hobbits. Please let me know what you all think of my logic.
No, I don't plan to start a competing company so I can put these guys out of business. I think I'll just go back to masturbating to hentai porn and complaining about shit all day. The Man would just hold me back anyway.
Wait until they actually start using the shit software they picked. Like all Open Source software, the screenshots look great until you realize that it doesn't actually include any features.
They be back! Another qualude, they love MS in the morning!
I cannot think of a more rewarding career for a young man than working for Microsoft.
Not only are they a great company to work for, but you will contributing to the advancement of the world's most popular software. Your work will bring happiness and joy to billions, as the work of thousands of Microsoft employees before has.
Yeah, I'm sure it is an electronic book that you want to read in bed.
On second thought, maybe it isn't. While you are up there in the top bunk, curled up under a Spongebob Squarepants comforter, lying on top of rubberized sheets, just having quaffed down your nightly mug of warm milk, I bet it ain't a book you prefer. I'm thinking more along the lines of a hastily downloaded pirated MPEG'd full length clip of some basement dwelling pre-pubescent Japanese guy's wet dream. That's right: I think you'll be looking at anime porn.
The wank off muse of pretty much the entire geek population. Certainly just the stuff for a guy who would post some "now they can come out with..." crap in response to yet another in a line of a hundred thousand Slashdot vaporware articles. You'll be tucked down under the covers with a dual screen laptop, tatters of Christmas wrap still stuck on the back, furiously massaging your cock while anatomically impossible tightly clothed warrior-whores blit back and forth across your LCD screen in all their sprawling glory.
Go ahead, admit it. Nearly everyone else here will be doing the same thing. And you'll be doing it with Windows.
You could learn from this experience though, get yourself a copy of Windows 2000 and the bone-o-rama and maybe one day you'll be sitting alongisde me in the Slashdot Hall of Fame.

The guards are most likely unionized, which is why a guy with a torn achilles is still on duty.

Why would they do that, when their current product is light years ahead of anything Linux has to offer?
I'm sure the Linux operators will enjoy the company.
I eagerly await the revolution.
Linux: The Death Knell for Profitability.
They probably have products in this market, just buy their stuff. You can't go wrong with MS.

If you want to step up, get a copy of Windows and forget about spending all your time installing the newest point release of 700 different packages.
Like most other hardware designed after 1997, this will not work with Linux. You'll need Win2K or newer.

You are now on my Foes List for that post. Hell with you!
When all else fails, hope the Feds force everyone else to make their stuff as shitty as yours.
They used Linux.
Or you could just buy a copy of WIndows and spend your free time trying to get laid.
Don't even ask.

There is a much easier way than reading this boring ass book: Pop in a Win2K CD, crack open a brew and relax.

I'd like to thank the bone-o-rama, cyborg_monkey, and Elijah Craig in general.
I agree with this post.
Thats it, you're on my foes list for that comment.
