Funny how you can't use these names at all on/. anymore without someone jumping in to make sure your comment is depracted. "Troll" ? Hey, I think there's probably quite a few people who share this general feeling - not trying to prove blame, or anything - just generalized disconent without a target.
It isn't just that he used the names, he was obviously insulting the readers of slashdot. Furthermore he was muddying the waters by comparing Bill Gates and George Bush, two people who are very different.
Also, I wasn't making sure of anything. I rarely post, was checking out slashdot on my lunch break and saw an obviously ignorant comment. I intended to say something concerning it.
That's not a vendetta, that's an occurance. Stop making everything seem like some cordinated attack.
I haven't heard anyone blaming e.g. Bill Clinton or Martha Steward for the.com crash, for instance... Of course, having brought this up here, I probably will, now.
How could George Bush have anything to do with the dotcom crash? How is what he said relevant?
You're justifying an unjustifyable statement. Kudos for your dedication, but get a clue.
"The dot.com crash was caused market maniplations by Osama bin Ladin and the Saudi Royals at the behest of Dick Cheney in order to soften up the amerikan public for 9/11 - millions of people laid off, fortunes shattered, lifestyles irretreviably lost - by the time lives were lost, the nation was already chronically depressed. 9/11 led to hopelessness and apathy, which in turn made the public malleable, easy made a tool of Cheney's drive for Empire..."... or so they think in 2027...
But everyone knows that geeks know everything about business, and the PHBs are the ones who destroy business! How could all these big geek corps go out of business? I blame Bill Gates and George Bush.
If you are going to be sarcastic, could you please try to either be informative, or funny.

I hope this was Flamebait, because if you're serious, man.
I personally run firefox, so I don't get most of the garbage. These are tools I run for all the people at my work on their home pcs, which I do quite often.
My ex died several months ago. I knew the password for her email accounts, so I went through her last emails.... Very ackward reading messages up to her driving, and subsequentally being killed.
This is pathetic... I like google just as much as the next guy, but at the end of the day it's just e-mail. Before I'd fork over $200 for an e-mail address I'd register my own domain and create a tricked out one of my own.
Like: No spam. Not a single freaking message. Either they have an excellent filter or I haven't spread it around enough. Let's try an experiment: sclifford@gmail.com. Guess that'll be a good test of their spam filter. Cringe.
I was going to do the same thing. You beat me to it. Good luck.
This is the best webmail account I've ever owned. It has spell check, it's mail function saves each message in full. You recieve and send mail as part of a thread of messages. You can search through those messages easily.
You can put a special tag on messages that are important.
It auto completes addresses you've used before. It's spam function I half want to see in use, and half don't.:)

I don't think the dot com bust proved that.
I think it proved that there were a lot of companies who sold software that people were not willing to pay for.
That's what it proved.

Ahh yeah, that's surely relevant.
Who was being sarcastic? Haven't you read your slashdot manual?
No, but you've certainly read your troll one.

kthx.
Most serious people deploy PostgreSQL on Windows, if they're deploying anything on it at all.
Solid reliability, transaction support, and a good security track record. Probably the best thing short of switching to an AS/400.
You are a chewley's gum representitive? and you're here stiring up all this commontion for what? To sell more gum?
Get outta here.
EA did not solicit an exclusive contract!
Unlike the rest of their licenses for sports, like Nascar?
The NFL announced that it was going to SELL an exclusive contract, and only one company could win it. So of course EA had to bid, or they were sunk.
If EA seriously doesn't want this to happen, they can easily sell rights to TakeTwo. There's nothing against that whatsoever.
Don't blame EA (whatever other evils they have performed) for the NFL's crap.
For both of their crap.
Noone ever promised me that life would be fair, nor do I expect it to be.
So that means we shouldn't fight so that it is?
Without a doubt at all. In the world.
Live is tired and old. Live 95 was amazing however.
Because it's true?
if only i had mod points. if only.

I disagree with you. If you were to have used only the products you mentioned, the last 3 machines I cleaned would still be infested, heavily.
I've never wanted a company to actually build an extensive solution so much as concerning spyware.
Each company does 1-2 things well, and the rest poorly. Someone needs to come out with a real end all solution.
With the new spyware packages coming out, Spybot and AdAware simply DO NOT cut it.
I have 8 tools currently to get rid of spyware together, and each one does something another doesn't.
Spybot and Adaware are a part of what I use, but thinking those alone get the job done is just wrong.
Well, it is in Beta. Let them know.

I agree. I really doubt that after I have given this out to multiple people as my sole address, they would go and delete it, and start over.

I have yet to be able to invite anyone, and I'm using it extensively.
The person who invited me had two invitations, so I think when you get to the part of the tree I'm in, you fail to recieve them.
The nicest thing about my gmail account is the way messages are handled. Every email is like a forum post.
It is very ackward to get used to, but once you do it is very nice.
I have an account, you cannot use anything less than six charcters.
All I want is at least one Evil bit post. That's it.
A "pure IT job" of sitting in front of a screen all day would drive me bonkers.
I constantly get asked why I do not use VNC to do all of my work when it would improve productivity.
Because it would lower my happiness. If I'm incredibly busy, sure, but I would MUCH rather walk around and talk to people.
