in the car - yes. the car is not a good place to do it. that's why we're on our way to utah in the first place. it's obviously a family vacation to spend time with the family. does everybody hate me? this is like the 4th comment that is just randomly aimed at me for no apparent reason other than to make me look evil.
what name calling? i called him a moron, but it's true - he is. You can't apply certain rules to yourself and other rules for other people. Linux users don't get the benefit of fabricating bullcrap about microsoft whenever they want if microsoft users get modded down for the same thing.
no argument there - i'm not the greatest person ever.
thank you to whoever modded me up again - and sorry for saying "they suck" - not all are so stupid, and it's not sucking, i guess, just a really bad logical approach towards modding comments intelligently and neutrally (not taking sides on linux/MS topics - which happens WAY too much. i just got modded -1 flamebait for saying MicroSoft is better than linux (flamebait, maybe as in "what do you think is gonna happen on slashdot???") but it shouldn't have been -1)
HOW THE FREEKING HECK WAS THAT FLAMEBAIT??? you freeking faggot moderators. just because you disagree with my opinions doesn't mean my comments are evil. that was NOT flame bait. How do i know that it wasn't flame bait? because i wasn't trying to attract a flame. I was STATING MY FREEKING OPINION. I'm sick of you guys modding me down because i don't like these morons who say microsoft is bad because it's better than linux.
ok, i have something to say to whoever modded me down. What are these comment sections for? they are for people to state their opinion. What did I do? I STATED MY FREEKING OPINION. Just because i didn't add detail doesn't mean the comment is overrated. Whoever runs this site better get some new moderators - the current ones suck.
lol, gotta agree with you there... i just have the feeling that people don't spend 100% of the time in the car actually driving. like if you stop for something to eat, you could go through drive thru, park, and watch TV... but yeah, this would definitely encourage morons to watch TV on the road.
we have a TV in our car - well worth it... those 12 hour road trips to utah would be a pain with 2 little girls in the back screaming about how they want to be there already... trust me - TV in the car is one of the best things ever to happen to this world.
just because most servers are apache doesn't mean most content comes from them, buddy. The average user DOES know what a browser is. That's like telling me that the newbie car mechanic doesn't know what a wrench is.
the server doesn't ignore other requests just because another computer sends a request first. they go in order. your cross walk analogy has no place here. The server places the order in which computers get files - not the computer.
and like linux boys never take unnecessary jabs at Microsoft? please!!! you freeking moron - you guys do it ALL THE TIME... and there's not enough people at slashdot to tell you that you do it WAY too much, and in all the wrong ways.
for example:
"Microsoft doesn't use the same TCP/IP stuff as everyone else??? OH MY GOSH!!! it's FASTER??? THEY MUST BE CHEATING"
almost as bad as saying Bush is lowering taxes???? WHY! that's ridiculous! they NEED more money in the government
which, btw, is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. (but still comparable to what you guys say about MS). so keep your fork tongue behind your teeth. I did not pass through fire and death to bandy trick words with a witless worm
good. I'm glad you think that way. I agree with you. But what point were you trying to prove that contradicted mine? and how am i trolling? i made a very logical statement - which you can NOT argue with, so you call it trolling because there's no other way to make people not agree with me.
these are not rules. They are the standard that was built a long time ago thinking that this was the most efficient way for things to work. Just because microsoft found a better way of using valid requests does not mean that you have to get all offensive about it. "OH MY GOSH! MICROSOFT MADE SOFTWARE THAT'S PROVABLY BETTER THAN LINUX? WE BETTER TELL PEOPLE IT'S ILLEGAL SO THEY STILL GO FOR LINUX".
your supermarket analogy has nothing to do with where microsoft makes their browsers go faster. keep in mind that this is tenths of a second we're talking about here - so no one's getting EXCLUDED from any content. and in fact, they're getting MOST content faster than they would with crapzilla. If people can't stand that 1/10 of a second difference, then they would try to get a new browser. There is NOTHING illegal with sending a request before the other dealy. It does NOT hurt ANYONE else. It's simply a way of making their browser run FASTER in MOST conditions.
this is not a law, it is the original standard that was set back in the day. microsoft has found a way to make it go faster. so what's the problem? it doesn't hurt anyone. it's THEIR servers, they can do whatever they want with them.
this doesn't hurt anyone. Why does it matter if they're smart enough to make my browser go faster? all of the sudden you find out why microsoft products are better than linux products and you call it cheating.
even if you're right, it's not microsoft's problem - it's the universities, AGAIN, they can buy from someone else. Microsoft knows that making the price public will hurt their profits
Slashdot Mirror
no, it was TORNed like a week ago. slashdot is pretty late on this news.....

i did not know that. thanks. How do i get mod points? can I?

wait, let me guess how that was flamebait... can't think of a way to reply to my comment? i guess i win

this is great. very cool.

that's not what it says for me. for me it says With Microsoft's clout and programming ability, this product will be nothing less than top notch.
where in that does it say open source software is never top notch?
good. I'm glad you think that way. I agree with you. But what point were you trying to prove that contradicted mine? and how am i trolling? i made a very logical statement - which you can NOT argue with, so you call it trolling because there's no other way to make people not agree with me.

you still fail to explain how this hurts anybody else.
so? they can do whatever they want with their own program. If you don't like it going slower sometimes, then don't use it, buddy.
this is not a law, it is the original standard that was set back in the day. microsoft has found a way to make it go faster. so what's the problem? it doesn't hurt anyone. it's THEIR servers, they can do whatever they want with them.
it doesn't hurt anyone! what's the problem?

read the rest of the thing. it's talking about purchases.
