Yeah, and I bet Nietzsche hated you. Even DESPITE being utterly unconcerned with what level you read Slashdot at. Even not giving a shit about what has got to be the single most annoying aspect of your meticulously disgusting character, I'm pretty sure all Germans hate you.
You sure you don't want to tell us how many squares of toilet paper you use?
I think when you say "reading at 0"... that's your grade-level right? What would that make it, preschool for you? Have you gotten to the part with the crayons yet? Or are you still watching the Teletubbies?
Post again when you decide what level your brain is at... *BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!*
Yeah, I feel that same way, too. I look at the LA times and say to myself "Someone fucked with my/etc/hosts file!"
It makes me want to lock out all the spammers who want to take over my computer to steal my credit card info. But then I just get high and play "Smack the Anonymous Dumbass" and have a much better time.

You're not drugs! You're PEOPLE! Anonymous coward is PEOPLE! ANONYMOUS COWARD IS PEOPLE!!!!
It was GIL AMELIO who nearly killed Apple! It was all Power Computing to do to keep people buying any kind of Mac at all!!
And Power did their own R&D, thank you. Sure, they ripped off most of the early MLB layouts, but after Alchemy, the boards were all Power's own. And they were adding the features Mac users wanted -- like faster bus speeds and modern RAM. Not to mention decent video performance. Power was doing the Mac community a favor by getting the RAM ceilings out of the double digits.
If Apple was happy with less than 1% of the total PC market, then fine. Because when it comes right down to it, to hell with Apple. I go to Apple's computers because they're the best, but at that time, they weren't. The best you could get was some 8100 piece of shit and THEN what, you're stuck with Nubus expansion and a lot of proprietary video hardware. Meanwhile, Power was producing cutting-edge machines... some of which had hardware on them that wasn't even available for PCs yet.
Power gave half a shit about producing USEABLE machines, made they way they were supposed to be made. Meanwhile, Apple was sitting around being weak and spineless. They got scared when the market was getting away from them, and so they yanked the licenses and killed the baby.
I know a guy who was at the top levels of Power's Technical Response department. (His business card said "Grand Technical Czar."). I know at an intimate level what was going on at Power, and it was not any kind of plotting effort to undermine Apple's success. They just didn't give a *fuck* about all the pissy little things that were wasting Apple's time. Most of the people working for my friend were recruited from Apple, where they were disgruntled and lethargic. But at Power, they found renewed energy for not Apple, but the Macintosh platform. And they made it better than any other out there. By the time Power closed, their machines were running not just MacOS, but BeOS and LinuxPPC as well. Would that have happened with Apple getting in the way on things like bus speeds and cache sizes? While Apple was making machines that didn't have caches, Power was redeveloping the whole concept. We have Power to thank for the Backside Level 2 Cache technology, don't forget that.
The clones were all that keps Apple alive through its darkest time. Thanks to power in particular, there are now more Mac die-hards than ever, and the mac has made tremendous progress in its technology and features thanks to people like those who used to work at Power.
If anyone's to blame for Apple's problems, it's Apple.
