Nobody knows something until they learn it. You can't be an expert in everything. Calling someone who is not an expert in your field of expertise an idiot is, basically, moral idiocy.
I find the notion that many college students are ignornant of technical things a blessed relief from the stifling monontony of Technopoly.
For everyone life is full of little constraints and oppressions. We geeks tend to loathe any of those on our computers: we want and like full control. These aren't just tools, they're our toys. That's why we have a problem with DRM. It's not because we're just so smart, or that geeks have such a love of liberty in general over the masses.
For the non-geeks a computer is just another item in life, and the little constraints and oppressions on a computer don't mean a thing. Hey, that's how life is.
You can now have the luxury of installing vista, uninstalling it(whatever the crap that means), then - are you ready for this - installing it again on another/same machine.
Most leftists, living in urban areas, are really afraid of armed blacks in their cities. They can't say that, though, so have to go on about the "gun nuts" in the heartland...
Users absolutely hated the first iteration of the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) program, and their protests pressured the company into revising it about a year after it launched in July 2005.
Yes, users hated it, so they expanded the program to cover other products. Thanks, MS!
Not long ago I was wondering, "whatever happened to the ozone hole?" It seemed that Global Warming had taken over as the looming apocalypse. So the obsoleting of Freon hasn't helped?
Now, before helping an old lady across the street, the scout will question her. If she is in fact "pirating", he just pushes her out in front of a bus. In the RIAA's eyes, he was helping her across the street.

Nothing like an ignoramous appointing himself the Grammar Nazi. Messing up something so basic as subject-verb agreement!
Split infinitive.
The words are, but the sentence isn't.
Lionel Barrymore played a wonderful Kentucky Colonel opposite Shirley Temple's "Little Colonel." I try to recall that anytime I see the KFC logo.
Solzhenitsyn is a hero. Torvalds is a good guy. Big difference.
Kind of a reverse DoS, eh? Clever devils there in Redmond.

They forgot Goldstein.
Is there a compelling non-marketing reason to go away from paper voting and manual counting?
Clever, because we all know our soulless corporations would do that.
Do a quick scan of the posts. The moderators are taking a break. IOW, there's little insightful or interesting or funny going on here. Next!
Get me a bag, I'm hyperventilating.

People would pay more attention to politics if we had canings and duels, like in the old days.
Maybe the hamster powering his server is taking a break.
Even before the first post.
Another excellent reason to use Debian. You'll never fall behind.

We could call it "Phoenix."
Sorry folks, we'll have to wait for the Boomers to die off before things can start to return to normalcy.
It was originally only 17 lines, but he had to make it 1,000 so it'd be readable.
