Hey dude, you know they DEFAULT to ordering 10 x86 CDs? It says right there on the page that shipping costs more than the CDs. Easy on the attack there champ.
Not so much... You're really insulting yourselves more than/. or me. You're saying that you're too cowardly to put your name to any of the troll/flamebait/goatse links/random crap that you morons post, you have no honour since you cut up and deride other people (like you just did to me, not that I'm that hurt inside), and you have nothing better to do since you sit here posting useless garbage. You're the reason/. has started declining in comment quality. Rest assured, I'm pretty firm in my belief that Taco is doing the same old thing he's done since I've been here, and doing a good job at it.
That kinda confused me too. As far as I know, I haven't been corresponding with any pedophiles in prison.
Anyway, I'm a little confused as to why he's opposed to pedophilia, yet corresponds with them in prison. Maybe, as you said, he's just trying to gain a look inside their heads and see what makes them tick. Maybe he's just a little off.
Oh, sorry. I forgot to realize that they owed you anything! What the hell guys?! If you don't like the 'Stalinistic' and 'Naziesque' approaches, GO THE FSCK AWAY and make it a little nicer for the people who actually still enjoy/.
It doesn't run on the standard EXT2 fs, but rather a strange variation called NTFS. It runs a non-standard X, closed source GUI that isn't very stable. It also comes with leading edge programs such as a solitare simulator and productivity applications such as Wordpad and Calculator. Promises to be great!
Wait. That was Win95. 'Scuse me, I need to go gouge out my eyes. Why exactly are they attending!? That's like the NSA attending Defcon.
...if they found him to do an interview, couldn't a crack team of geeks be a 'reputable media outlet' and contact this guy? We go to 'interview' him, and leave him with a token of our appreciation. A small incindiary device should do the trick. Or maybe just have him drawn and quartered.
Stupid Spammers. How many people actually read the crap that's sent? I mean, who wouldn't like a Penis Mighter? Or why go to University when they can just mail you a degree? Spammers could enrich our lives!
And I know there's going to be some troll out there saying "You read them because you know what they're touting!" You know what? I work at an ISP. We read all the spam we get and have a hall of fame for the best stuff. Virii also get one.
Thank you. Everyone being mean to these poor people, while fun, is not cool. One of my friends was a telemarketer, and she did perhaps the most productive thing in the fight against telemarketing; take the company down from the inside. She told the customers that the product wasn't good for them, they said thanks, and she still got paid. Everyone she talked to, she put on the do not call list.
That works so much better than being nasty and rude to the poor people, don't you think?
At ComDex Canada (yes, we have ComDex in our igloos) I tried these at the Olympus booth. Suffice it to say, they suck.
Firstly, they are far too heavy, and the supports for your skull feel quite flimsy and are made from poorly manufactured plastic; they could snap off at any time. They are also uncomfortable. The supports jam themselves into your skull just above the ears, and hurt like a bi*ch after a while. The resolution ain't that great, and even with about 5 minutes of playing with the focus controls and adjusting them on my face, the picture still looked like there was vaseline on the displays.
These are definatly NOT suited for computer use, and barely suited for TV viewing.
You're sitting at your desk, fraggen away in Q3, spin around to rail some poor fool, and your head slams into the wall! I can just see the headlines now: "Proof That Computer Games DO Kill".:)
Still, it would be kinda cool.

What's really funny is that you missed Windows ME.

Wait, did I miss a memo? When will everyone be using this? Count me the hell out.
Thank you, AC. You just made me fall off my chair laughing. Got wierd looks over the cube walls. That just made my day. :)
I always knew that NT would wipe out all life as we know it.

In short, leave.
I find your lack of taste disturbing. :)
Ads for whom, pray tell? Remember, this isn't exactly set on or near earth. It's a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Drink DarthCoke? Hmm.
Yeah. I, uh, realized that after hitting the submit button. My bad. *looks sheepish*

RTFI. Read the fscking interview.
[The following question was added to "the list" by Craig -- ED]
The interviewee added that question, not some sexually repressed teenage nerd. Oh, and it was humour. Yep.

No, the screen's the same size. Just more pixels crammed into it.
My bad, my bad... I was thinking of... something else when I wrote that. Whoops!

Yes. Because we should take Simpsons as truth.
There's holes in that show that you could drive a Mack truck through... and then some!
Uh, sorry, you're wrong.
I live in Ontario, and I get the pause before the telespammer picks up.
So, they do use auto-dialers.
Another rather strong point is the fact that the TeleZapper is sold all over southern Ontario in Radio Scrap, and Canadian Tire.

This may have some consequences...
