Since the damn thing is a single seater (so to speak) who is the "we"? He sounds like Gollum to me...I kept expecting him to refer to it as his "precious".
P.S. "month-iversary" doesn't make sense. Each year does he celebrate his wedding "year-iversary"?
There doesn't appear to be a single capital letter on his site. What statement is he making? I love ee cummings? My shift key is broken? I'm too cool for grammar?
Given the link associated with your name, are you sure you aren't just pushing your own solution?
"Adverts"? Please refain from using british terms unless you are british (thank you for not using "whilst")...though given that you said you're "keen" on finding songs that "take [your] fancy" perhaps you are british. Or gay.
"google" is not a verb, no matter how many geeks use it. It doesn't make you sound techie, just lame.
I've read a couple of his books (Neuromancer, The Difference Engine) and I think he's overrated. Granted, the Difference Engine seems to be generally regarded as not good, but even Neuromancer I thought was fairly boring. So he coined a word, yee haw. He might have a vision but his expression of that vision is lacking.

Is there a large group of people forcing themselves to purchase and watch movies they dislike?
That was my question actually. It sounded like you were stating you are boycotting the powers that be, and you now only see really good movies. Perhaps I misunderstood your original post.
That's silly. It takes no energy to boycott. It takes energy to support them (going to movies, buying cds). So...if people are lazy the boycott would be automatic.
...did the NYT require free registration? Well it's a good thing every single person posting a link to a NYT article mentions the free reg requirement. I'll certainly avoid these stories in the future...I hate giving away my personal information.
The bastards! Who do they think they are requiring free registration to access content they've paid to have written and hosted?

Parent said:...what good is Microsoft's computer aid to children who don't have food, clean drinking water, and an education.
To use your definition:
MS donates computers/software to 3rd world countries
"What good is Microsoft's computer aid to children who don't have food, etc?"
The implication (attack) is MS doesn't provide aid in these areas

If it gets slashdotted the whole damn forest could go up in flames taking the activists with it.
Hey, wait a minute...
I was just at the site and they have pictures of the activist chicks doing the traditional wood nymph blessing dance...in the nude. Check it out...streaming video too!
There is no such thing as a "stronger geek attribute"

Slashdot Mirror
At home and at work I run the United Devices client as it works on the Cancer Research Project. (sorry, Windows clients only)
It looks like he already has and is using slashdot to push his solution...check the link associated with his name in the article...

Have you coined a word? Want credit for it?
Sigh...I was joking Bob...
Bob, what are you doing hanging around here? Back to work...Chieh-san will be most displeased :)

Now running Red Dot Linux
Ok, I'll stop now, time for bed...and tomorrow's my wife's sleep in day! Ack. (those with kids will know to what I refer)
Sorry, couldn't resist...

You can't. Next question.
Is there a large group of people forcing themselves to purchase and watch movies they dislike?
That was my question actually. It sounded like you were stating you are boycotting the powers that be, and you now only see really good movies. Perhaps I misunderstood your original post.
So...you're downloading your music instead of buying it and you're limiting yourself to buying/seeing only movies you like.
Oh wait, what's that noise? Oh, must be the sound of RIAA's knees buckling!
Cool. Is it hard to type when you're peddling, Gilligan?
That's silly. It takes no energy to boycott. It takes energy to support them (going to movies, buying cds). So...if people are lazy the boycott would be automatic.
In other words, people as a whole are selfish.
So why are you AC? Afraid a friend might see you getting popcorn for the late showing of LOTR?

So what powers the car battery recharger? A Honda generator?
