What does XP have to do with this? With XP at least you can expect a product based on your past experiences with Microsoft. How were people supposed to know the lighting for a GBA was horrible? The original GameBoy and GBC were pretty good handhelds in my opinion.
What? "If you're dissatisfied with the Game Boy Advance... Why did you buy one"? They already bought it, you can't be dissatisfied with a product you never tried and to try it, most people would have to buy it. If you mean why don't they return it, then it still doesn't mean they shouldn't petition for a change.
What's wrong with petitioning a company to change? Not every consumer knows about things like Prodigy using IP protcol suite, so forcing a company to change can benefit those who are clueless. They don't want other people getting something they feel is a crappy product. Nothing wrong with that.
Thank you. thank you. thank you. I've been wondering how to stop all these log requests on my server. I'm pretty much getting hit by every windows computer on the RR network I think.
It might cause a chain of people doing the same to "boycott" the government's decision. Who knows, maybe he has a couple of friends who are lining up to do the same thing that we don't know about. Who knows how effective that would be, though.
At a deeper level though, Smith is ranting about postings on Internet message boards, made even more ironic by the focus of his site [viewaskew.com] which contains an extensive message board, to which he posts. (And occasionally answers questions.)
Well, that's not really true because while he is ranting about message boards, he's only specifically ranting about message boards filled with people who say nasty things about people just because they can.

That's a pretty cool story. Damn NASA:).
So does NASA compensate people in any way when stuff like that happens? It'd be really bad if the budget satellite went through the same thing and NASA just shrugged their shoulders and said, "oh well, we'll get 'em next time" to the disheartened people that just saw something they worked so hard on (mostly for free) blow up cause of some stupid little piece of electronics.
Well, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech, the other two specialized high schools in New York city have.edu domains as well. I don't know about any other high schools so I thought it was common for high schools.
Don't forget how it hurts people looking for information that's very recent. I don't know about most people, but I find it hard to look through all the magazines and newspapers at my nearest library mainly because there's way too much to look through and most of the recent ones aren't even there half the time. My nearest library is also a pretty big one, too, so what about those people who live near libraries that aren't as big and don't have as many resources except one computer with internet access? There are books on subjects people might be looking for, but most of them are probably outdated by now except for the encyclopedias.

I'm sure those displays were well-lighted, though. Lots of people pre-ordered them or bought them online, too.

He means the PC adventure game from LucasArts, btw. In which case I think he would want it to be based on Atlantis since that game was really great :).
Well said. I and I'm sure a lot of other people forgot about the effects that one book had on us besides being a really good book.
I was trying to get a friend of mine to read Hitchhiker, but now I'm going to try twice as hard to get her to read it.
