Why should your advice be seen as any more valuable than that given by pro-Linux pretentious pricks?
Tone it down if you want to be effective.
Stuff like, "never going to get past the childish l337 h4x0R pimply-faced nerd image that I imagine the average person (or at least those few who actually know what Linux is) thinks of Linux users" is not only a value-laced and inflammatory opinion to express, it could very well be wrong.
You're only feeding the people who want to fight about Linux and not affecting those who really use it.
In any case, even if you don't get anything out of this, Linux will continue to exist regardless of how moronic some of its proponents and detractors are. _That_ is the point that needs to be explained.
I see your point, but please give me the benefit of the doubt. "News for Nerds" started when "nerds/geeks" ran this place. Yanks, OTOH, have always got the shit end of the stick (as far as terminology goes).
Are you retarded? It's not zero-sum at all from any perspective.
Consider the viewer, if they see _one_ piece of programming on another channel then they have won. There is no way to lose.
You could only have a zero-sum game if, perhaps, you could argue that when you see a part of another show you are distracted from the original show in such a fashion that it detracts from the quality of the first so that the perceived benefit of viewing regular programming on another channel in lieu of commercials is counteracted (this is real, but difficult to quantify). Or, maybe if the channel surfer was such a fool that he/she couldn't make it back to the first show at the time that it resumes broadcast (this happens all the time).
Think about the zero-sum nature of this situation from the advertisers' persepective and you will see that it still doesn't make sense.

Dude, you have problems.
Dogs are no good for kicking. You should try little girls.
This is awesome.
I feel like a virgin again.
Thank you Big_Ass_Spork, can I have another?
The new version of the same pictures every week has been there for at least three years now. Jesus Christ.
"I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" (John 10:10b).
SO sexy.
I usually come just for the FUCK of it.
U R Retarted!
We wodnt' awysal b saying "Ugg!" we wold be saying, "I don't know!".
I thought it was funny.
Moderators suck these days. I feel sorry for you.
Who's the "they" in the assassin organization?
... start your own game.
... it's your "friends" that must suck.
Here's a concept
Oh, wait, you did
You really missed out. Nothing like some psycho in a sheet with sunglasses and a hat on running across a lawn trying to squirt you with an uzi.
That fucker, he ruined a perfectly good volleyball game.
You did!
Ha, gotcha.
> You know, I am going to have seen this already, and it is willian on-coming to have been AWESOME!!!
Use of the transitive par-past-prefect in the first clause:
I am going to have seen this already
necessitates the usage of an entrance stative par-past-profect (note: profect!) when describing the status of the predicate, as in:
and it is willian on-coming to have been AWESOME!!!
should be changed to:
and it is willain on-coming to have been AWESOME!!!
I know it's subtle. And, it could have been a typo, but sometimes it makes all the difference in the world for intelligibility.
Please see the post in a different thread about the average American being able to make meth although they can't spell kemistry.

Man, you're cranky.
Wow, now that was impressive.
I used your card to buy a 40' sailboat.
I bet you had a hard time explaining that to the wife, eh?
You come across as a pretentious prick.

> Transmeta, now THERE is an underdog.
No, they are an alternate warrior in the background doing their own thing, like the green suits in GI Joe cartoons.
They have to be pitching a battle with someone else directly before they're an underdog.

Are there two CFO's?]
Can you repeat the question?
I wondered.
You made my brane hurt.
I'm looking for a "hell, yeah" from all the niggaz in the house!!
HELL YEAH

Niggaz say, "L T S P"
Yeah, boy.
One's political, the other's social.
Are you trying to say they're equivalent?

I ope this gets modded up because it's just the sort of tongue in cheek humor that this site needs to revive.
'Course I can't mod right now. But HEY.

Zero-sum games are RARE.
