  3. STOP on What Kind of Tablet PC to Buy? · · Score: -1, Troll

    You don't need one, every tablet manufactured removes one acre of rain forest from this planet. Pointing devices however, like the 'Microsoft Intellimouse Trackball' on the other hand regenerate the wilderness on your very own workstation.

    BTW I didn't read the article as I have tendinitis from using a trackball.

    You've got admit the /. polls have been a little, well frankly very, pointless of late. So I think it's time for a 'Your Favorite Editor' poll. Timothy gets my vote because the others are just plain lazy, they don't check links, dupes, grammar, and importance of a story. I'd like to hear other /.ers views.

    Thank you,

    Micheal took the 't' out of motorists, because he doesn't like the idea of me being a little bit more up-market than himself.

    What possible use could you have for a 340-350hp car? Apart from:
    1. Annoying other law abiding moorists
    2. Breaking the law
    3. Killing pedestrians
    4. Impressing young boys
    Have I missed something?

    car hack you!

    Well maybe if you're a pedestrian, the majority of road deaths are pedestrians, this will do nothing to improve those figures, if you need to prove your ability to drive fast, perhaps due to small penis size, then please use a race track where your ineptitude will not result in the maming and killing of other human beings.

    Thank you.

  10. REDUNDANT????? on Delays Hurt Video Game Business · · Score: -1, Troll

    YOU DEEMED YOURSELF DIVINE ENOUGH TO MARK UNNECESSARY DEATH REDUNDANT? Life and death, I'm sorry; such unwarrented banality on my part. Who gives these ignoble halfwits mod points?

  11. Re:Not just games on Delays Hurt Video Game Business · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Delays don't only hurt business, take for example brother and sister Peri and Mupela, their lives depend upon aid reaching their village in Sudan before they die. The cause of their impending death is immaterial, they are of no use to the gaming community, their lives cannot be saved by the latest shoot-em-up extravaganza, but yours could. Don't spend $50 on the latest piece of uber violence from the house of mammon; give that money to the Red Cross or another organization that can save a life for the price of a game.

    Thank you for your help.
    Tarquin.

    That would have been really funny 12 years ago.

    Wow. That would have been around about the last time Microsoft gave a shit about its customers. Surely only a coincidence?

    Of course it does, it now gives Redmond full access to your hard drive. And they snitch to RIAA for bucks per bust.

  17. Re:"Show your boss"? on Linux Going Mainstream · · Score: 1

    How is this funny? Windows is no longer the OS for business, Microsoft products waste too many man hours, end of story, I don't see anything humorous about companies going out of business because of poor, ill informed management decisions.

    Unless Microsoft have paid their next years dues in advance, I'll wager they don't have it. However, it may be that they know the culprit will never be found.

  23. Re:The question is... on Linus Speaks Out, Calls SCO 'Cornered Rat' · · Score: 1

    Large academic institutions with their huge bursaries from proprietary software vendors, aren't; perhaps for the better, the powerhouses of the economy, my experience lies in the field of commerce. A field in which a certain company has, with their ludicrous licensing schemes, lackadaisical approach to security, and indifference to customer reliability concerns, driven themselves out of market share. As an aside, I also know many Windows users, who seem mostly to bemoan its very existence, I enlighten those I can.

    I actually don't know many people who use Linux or any other operating systems very much besides Windows.
    Not wishing to cause offence but, I think you'll have accept that with the above statement, you have classified yourself as displaying signs of risible ignorance, and a sureal amount of arrogance in your apathy towards the well being of your fellow internet users.

  25. Re:The question is... on Linus Speaks Out, Calls SCO 'Cornered Rat' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do people really still use Windows for anything other than games? Surely it must now be considered at the very the very least to be anti-social to connect a Windows PC to the Internet, and at worst either; downright incompetence or risible ignorance?
