    And on top of that, the grocery store tries to CHARGE me for bottled water!

    It rains from the sky and runs through rivers, so I could get it at no charge from there. Why doesn't the store give it to me for free?

    They're restricting public access to the water!

    No, I'm doing this from my WinCE handheld, you insensitive clod.

    I use it on a box to run apps that I developed that our M$ monkeys haven't matched(or can't) match.

    ...I just bring out a new app coded in Perl that the green suiters can't live without.

    How do these things relate to Linux? No one's arguing that it isn't a good development environment, but perl runs in Win32 fairly easily.

    You say superior services, not platforms, but it sounds like you're taking programs that could otherwise be cross-platform using them to push Linux for its own sake. Or, are you doing something with perl that would tie it to Linux?

    (Ready to be modded into oblivion for implying that Linux should exist just for its own sake...)

    The balloon is sitting RIGHT ON TOP OF THE GODDAMNED MOVIE IMAGE. It goes away after a few seconds of frantic clicking...

    Good job. As we all know, clicking frantically is the correct way to solve every problem. If that doesn't work, try rebooting, or possibly kicking your computer. Remember to take our cup out of the built-in cup holder first.

    Worse, I enter 23 hello on a new line in Word, and hit enter, it auto indents, adds a 24 and positions the cursor after. !?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?

    Whoops! You kicked your keyboard and broke the punctuation keys instead. The computer is that big beige thing on the floor. No, not the foot pedal. To the left. There you go.

    By the way, why were you writing "23 hello" in your document?

  6. revolutionary on Understanding .NET: A Tutorial and Analysis · · Score: 5, Funny
    It frustrates me how web services are often described as revolutionary, when built on technologies such as UDDI and WDSL which in turn are based on relatively mature technologies such as XML and HTTP.

    Remember, revolutionary also means to go in circles.

  8. short on details on Blacker Than Black · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Why are all the articles I see on Ananova so short on details? They amount to 'Someone told us that XXX exists!! Cool!'

    Here is another example.

  9. Re:Score one for script kiddies! on Kevin Mitnick Answers · · Score: 1

    This is flamebait, why is it modded up? Mitnik was not a script kiddie, he was the exact opposite. In fact, the very notion of script kiddies didn't exist at the time.

    Leave it to slashdot to mention someone's blog, newsgroup, and peronsonal FAQ before the fact that they have a nationally syndicated humor column read by millions weekly.

    I don't want charity or political organizations calling me either, why can't we get rid of them?

    Because we elect people to make these kinds of decisions for us, and they do not always listen to what we want.

    Yes, because if there's one place where Linux is lacking, it's that there are not enough scripting languages.

    He was held without a bail hearing for four and a half years. That is WRONG no matter what his crime was.

    Did he deserve his time in prison? I think so. Did he deserve to have the U.S. government trample his basic rights and freedoms? No.

    Read the sample chapter that someone posted a link to earlier. Remember 'Free Kevin'? Did you think it was just because everyone thought breaking the law was Good Thing?
