I've learned most of the slick little shortcuts to do things, and probably all of the well-known methods for accomplishing things.
On Linux, I still haven't figured out how to create a desktop shortcut icon.
I'm not stupid, before you go off on a rant here. I just don't have much luck in the couple of minutes I'm willing to spend searching for clues. I can find out how to do that in Windows in a couple minutes, so why not in Linux in the same time frame?
As long as Linux remains harder to use than Windows, the average user will tend to think it is not worth the effort.
And the Linux zealots who disdain average users and make pompous statements that they shouldn't be using computers if they can't figure out simple things like that? Well, you guys make it soooooooo much easier for Microsoft to retain its stranglehold on the consumers.
Way to go, guys. Bill Gates loves idiots like you.
Google is not forcing you to do anything. They ARE giving you advice on how to get the best search results, and they ARE willing to punish violators whose shitty tactics reduce the value that Google provides, thus harming Google's reputation. That's a good thing.
You are saying you should be allowed to abuse Google's site just to beat out your competition that doesn't abuse Google's site. That's bull.
Actually, you seem to be arguing as though you are a victim when you really may not be. The pages that you put up For Google's Eyes Only contain the same content that actual readers will see, right? If so, then it doesn't sound like Google would have a problem with your site.
But if you are trying to lure Linux users to your banana factory site, then you are a vile scum-sucking piece of recycled dog-vomit that needs to be blacklisted, not just de-listed.
Not that there's anything wrong with bananas, mind you. It's the deception that hurts.
of such luminaries of ecological science as Michael Crichton, because he wrote a fiction book about it, rather than the actual scientists, well... I think worrying about actual scientists slightly overreaching their specialties is not as big of a problem.
You aren't going to be a very good grammar nazi if you simply parrot all the things your Junior High School English teacher told you. Do a little research. After all, you don't still labor under the impression that ending a sentence with a preposition is "wrong", do you? The origin of English rules is as complicated (and often as senseless) as the rules themselves.
When people say "actually getting off your ass and doing what you are expected to do IS USELESS", they need to follow up with "so, instead, do $X".
You didn't do that. Thus, it seems you are one of the teeming masses of idiots who project "Oh, I'm too smart to work with the system, and you're too stupid for doubting me simply because I don't tell you what my super duper idea is to get things done for reals".
So pony up a solution or fuck off and die. Useless cynicism just gets in the way of everyone else.
I agree that almost nobody deserves cancer. I except the tobacco company executives, who deserve every kind of cancer smoking can produce.
For public smokers, I hope only that they are forced to sit in small, poorly ventilated rooms filled with smoke of a type they find unbearable for hours on end, every single day of their lives, until they die or quit smoking in public.
It seems to me that Franklin would be unlikely to have uttered such a statement.
First, he was not so sure of the divinity of Christ, so he would not have urged people to "believe or go to hell". He _did_ think that Christ's message of peace was worth adopting, but that it had been corrupted by other people thru the ages.
Second, he participated in the framing of the Constitution quite late in life. I don't see how he could have lived long enough to see it ignored or trampled to the point where he would make such a bitter statement.
Do you actually have some link to a source for that quote?
Are you insane? What a crock of crap!

Next thing you'll tell us that your readers are so lame and stupid as to propose to each other in your forums! How pathetic is... Oh, wait. Didn't that already happen here?

Because what I was going to say to that terrorism enabler was a lot less nice and would have prevented any kind of rapport.

If you signed up for it, it is something you want to get. Spam is UNSOLICITED email.
If you don't mind not being a free person, at least you'll stop interfering with the rest of us who actually cherish freedom.
You know, we who admire the Constitution, not the Government du Jour.
To think all those thousands of soldiers who have given their lives for freedom and people like you come and try to piss it all away.
Disgusting.
They seem to be unstoppable in that regard.
Do you know what a Strawman Argument is? If not, you have a natural gift for them. Bravo!
Ooh, I like the way you think.

If only that were the biggest problem here.
And will it run on Windows XP?

When Clinton lied, millions of sperm died! I bet he is a secret OSS user, too!
Ha ha, no you wouldn't. After the first puff, you'd choke to death on your teeth. But what I wouldn't give to see that. ;-)

But that's just me.
Just change. But perhaps the simplest explanation is not always the right one...
