What the hell! You seem to be saying that issues might not be so black and white and that knee jerk emotional reactions are not the best thing to embrace. Please, don't suggest such things, you might make me think. I have found so much joy in just being effortlessly pissed at everything, and thinking is so much damn work.
Has always been the user who *thinks* he knows too much, and is out to prove it - usually causing problems, havoc, and destruction in so doing. You know, the kind of guy who gets pissed when you won't give them root/Administrator priveliges because he thinks he's a real big-shot. Just one? I don't call that personal castigation, but a blessing, perhaps even a miracle. Just read a few posts on this story, many will be from someone who believe they have a God given right to make the lives of others a living hell... err, I mean, responsibility to FIX the technology they encounter. There might even be a correlation to the fact the poster has mistakenly self diagnosed with Asperger's to explain something.
so I happen to spend a whole day on the computer doing nothing but playing one first-person shooter and I'll get cut off from the net? No, you don't get a whole day, just a few seconds. It had already determined you were going to lose anyway.
There are products out there that already do this and trend using seasonality and anomalous behavior already, I don't know why anyone would call this new. oh, wait, this is/. q1labs.com as a great product for this, found a compromised host doing call home to a p2p control network without any signatures and that was rather new behavior at the time.
It seems he is doing neither, he is utilizing a practice called "Generalization" , originally made infamous by mac cultists in the act of proselytizing.
If, in five years, Apple has proven to be as unreliable as MS, you can bet people will be complaining just as loudly about them.
Uhm, are we in the same universe? There is nothing that Apple could do short of becoming MS that would make Apple users complain. It used to be that MS was this horrible evil entity because of the monopoly they hold and abuse. But then Steve Jobs did a group hug with the *AA's of the world and came away with the STD affectionately called DRM, and leveraged it to a online music monopoly. Apparently He was just doing us all a favor and saving us from that evil called "choice". MS is evil for abusing a monopoly, but Apple is good for creating and abusing one as well? If you are expecting logic from the Apple cultists you are not sane.

It would seem you are right, was feeling a bit peevish about replying because of that implication. Perhaps /. has changed over the years?

Please, someone, make the bad man stop?

He was actually pointing out that the point of your argument was dull. His point was a bit sharper.

Tinkers were also the early traveling "consultants" who could and would fix or build just about anything.
Always thought that Tinker was far more approriate than "hacker" with all the lugauge that the term carries nowdays.
