    I suppose all electronics can be bricked by removing batteries then.

    Not saying thats necessarily bad, but what do you feel you need to anonymously like? Oh, I know! You like Nickelback.

    And if you do, I don't feel sorry for you when your privacy gets violated. I used to think Facebook was using innocent victims but I know now that neither side is particularly likeable in this issue.

    Why would you sign up for something that is designed to push your personal life into a wider audience then complain about any privacy violation?

    I like this place for the discussion - not the news.

    You just described Roman numerals, which were deprecated because they are te suckz. Try doing even basic math with Roman numerals then try the same operation with Arabic ones. I can't imagine what a Roman numeral based calculus book would have look like if they were still used widely today.

    No. Counting the number of o's in lol to calculate a coefficient of funniness is retarded.

    Yeah the level of retardation being shown in this study is awe inspiring.

    I'm torn between the fact that this is a blatant scam taking advantage of public ignorance and the fact that its helping the world by consuming the money of those who advocate public ignorance.

    That reminds me of how it used to be ok to make bots that automatically clicked your own pay to click ads.

    They aren't too stupid, they just haven't been exposed to enough of the underlying framework of the world to know there is one.

    We shouldn't have to use less energy. That defeats the entire point of progress. Using more energy is a good thing because its a sign you are capable of things that require that much power. But we do need to make sure we can provide for our power needs.

    You're making M$ out to be some kind of war criminals on a genocidal campaign against the pure and noble OSS community when in reality they're just greedy. They don't want to get rid of OSS competition, they want to get rid of all competition. By the way, I am a huge OSS fan and have been using Linux as my primary environment for 6 years.

    This is the 21st century. Traditional TV is going away and its becoming easier to get followers without taking out millions of dollars in commercials. We are approaching a critical point where the little guy can get as much exposure as the big guy if they use the medium intelligently.

    Also, there are these really cool things called 'elections' in which you get the chance to periodically vote for a candidate you like. The majority rules and the candidate that pleases the most people is elected. Did you know that you can even run for election?

    Hi! Skilled people can find jobs. If you can't find one, it's because you suck, you're not trying or you have unreasonable expectations.

    Have a nice day.

    Nice post. Asshole.

    Except that he's absolutely right. This guy quit his job because they are switching to MS products. If he was any good he could learn the new system and continue his work, however he has decided to quit and come appeal to Slashdot's anti-MS mentality. He has unreasonable expectations and probably lacks the skillset to do the new job. He didn't even try.
