you're an idiot. Your intelligence quotient is a percent. 100 would be average intelligence, or 100%. if your IQ was 12, that would mean you are 12% of normal.
interesting... i think in the LONG run that would be good if this thing took over all tobacco farms... but for like 10 years we'd have a couple billion suicides before there are no more smokers... which isn't good...
you never denied hating MS... and i still know that you do. You hate them because you think the way they shaped it is evil. You would not be arguing with me right now if you liked MS over linux.
i think you know what i'm getting at here. I'm not the only person. You know for a fact that the windows interface is far better than linux. The only arguments going for linux are "open source" and "stable" - while the UI sucks balls. And with windows XP, which is far more stable than any and all linux's, takes away one of those arguments... so all you've got is "open source"... and still no UI...
sorry, i just have to bring this up again... was this you?: it's flamebait cause you're a flaming homosexual....? i still don't see how you arrived at that conclusion... and why anything would be modded down flamebait because of that...
i still don't see how anything i did was queer... i never said my posts were intelligent pro-MS comments. and i know for a fact that you hate MS, because why else would you be wasting your time arguing with me?
that would be humility, genius... i was comparing myself to the rest of humanity, which doesn't take a genius to understand that some people are smarter than others, and that intelligence is can be measured, and if my measurements are higher than others, then I'm guessing that i'm intelligent. the human race as a whole is very very stupid.
I'm not trying to profit myself. I'm trying to knock some intelligence into you microsoft hating retards who think just because MS exists on more computers than all others combined, and is 100x better than anything you could write means that they are evil. I'm doing this for the good of slashdot's future. I know I'll never convince people like you to actually think about something before you post judgements on it, but I want other people to benefit. My prediction is that my karma will never become positive, ever, because of moderators who just don't think about stuff. If you don't agree that comments that are pro-microsoft get modded down a lot more than pro-linux comments, then you need to re-read every single comment on this site. The most intelligent pro-MS comments get modded down simply because it makes MS look good. comments like "linux rules!" get modded up insightful all the time. Again, i am not gay, which is what i'm sure you meant by "queer" - by the real definition of queer (unusual), sure, i am, especially compared to the majority of slashdot visitors. for all i know you switched computers to post your AC comments.
I don't think you're smart enough to understand what I was getting at there. Since I am smart, I should be able to grasp things easily (i don't have ADD either) because I have common sense (yes, i also have common sense) - but linux is just retarded for home use. (great for webservers, i will admit)
which dictionary are you using there cheif?
1.) No, I am not gay in any way shape or form.
2.) If that comment does not get modded down flamebait, then I seriously doubt the IQ of any person with moderatorship reading that comment is above 12%.
3.) You are most certainly attracting flamers to flame yourself, so that better get modded down flamebait.
4.) what the heck did that comment have to do with anything, and why the heck did you waste 2 minutes of your time saying that? You people have serious issues. How old are you? 9? I'm guessing you're the one who modded me down - get a life, and do something productive with it.
i don't quite understand what your comment is getting at there, AC. crumbs you say? Microsoft will feed me until i'm full until the day i die. It took me less than 10 minutes to figure out windows when we got it back in '95... i tried to figure out linux a year ago, and it took me a couple hours to browse the internet - I am not a stupid person, believe it or not. generally they say people who excel in math/science are also good at computers... AP Calculus BC as a freshman in highschool (in the US (i understand in other countries they do that material when you're 8 years old)).. does it sound like i'm stupid to you? I'm not trying to brag about my smartness for any reason except to say that most linux OS's or whatever they're called have no interface that even remotely resembles what common sense would tell me should be the way it should be done. I thought linux was cool and all, but by no means an OS that should be used by anything other than my webspace.
interesting view there... only problem is that the microsoft mothership makes the best software and upgrades for its own software. Even for linux stuff, the best updates/upgrades are not made by outsiders, but still by the "mothership"
oh yeah, that's definitely flame bait. just like the comment above this one is not flame bate. C'mon, whoever runs this site, have some sort of way that's MORE effective on moderating moderations. they don't give a crap about their moderations as long as they're modding down people who's views conflict with theirs. I don't understand how the above comment is flamebait (or overrated at -1...) this is starting to get ridiculous.
Linux release cycles are of course pretty fast, and Linux is either free or cheap, depending on whether or not you feel the need to add to your manual pile
in other words, whether or not you feel like being able to use it.
ok, read all the comments on this board right here. if you believe 100% of the ones that do not present evidence are "flamebait", then i think you're an idiot. just because he doesn't like linux doesn't mean it's freeking flamebait. we get modded down for stating our opinions, but you freeks get away with "M$ sucks" (as the body of the entire commment) comments - and get modded up insightfull for those.
you are one of the stupidest people i know. not a single one of those moderations was a good moderation. flamebait=trying to attract flames. this person was stating the truth in his/her opinion. the 2nd one was not offtopic - he/she was replying to an on-topic post. discussions go on tangents sometimes - but as long as there is a link to the original topic, it is still ONtopic.
but no, you won't get modded offtopic because you are going against people who are going against linux. the only possible way you'll get modded offtopic is if a person with any common sense gets moderatorship, which doesn't happen very often.
it's funny how this parent's comment and that parent's comment got modded down.... just goes to show how incredibly blind linux users are to the rest of the world...
windows wasn't made for things as stupid as a car. linux was made for things as stupid as a car. windows was made with ease of use for stupid people, BUT, it was especially made with people smart enough to not crash their computer.
they sell overpriced games to make up for it. It's like compact flash cards - you buy the reader for $20, think you're gonna get infinate storage space the size of a cracker, but a good amount of storage costs $800, but you HAVE to buy it cus you don't want to waste $20.
first of all, no. All the stuff you mentioned goes back a couple thousand years. The main thing inspired by tolkein is the setting - middle earth. It will probably not contradict tolkein (in many ways), but it will not be from the professor himself. So it's in middle earth - so it's inspired by tolkein.

This sounds like a collection which will become more valuable as more people have access to the actual content of the collections.

because it's an interesting article retard. the fact that he disagrees with one freeking adjective doesn't mean he shouldn't post it.

and this of course does not apply to microsoft; you can still yell at them.
