Fucking whiny jerkoff. "Well, it's MY stuff and they're touching it. WAAAAAAH! Mommy!" Jesus fucking Jones this is the stupidest fucking shit I've read in a long time. They're not changing YOUR settings, retard, they're disabling the options to change THEIR settings for THEIR content. Fucking idiot.
Ummm... MMORPG's ARE PC games. For that matter, so are MUD's, but I'll go with it. Most MUD's are cobbled together in free time by one or two people. MMORPG's have multi-million dollar budgets and are put together by teams of 20-30+ people. They are in no way comparable, and this entire argument is stupid. It's basically "Well, it's ALMOST like a MUD, except that a MUD doesn't have graphics... or an interactive combat system... or any sort of visual stimulation whatever except for text... but it's free!"
There's a reason it's free. It's IRC with stats and nothing more.
Shut the fuck up. Not every goddamned motherfucking piece of software has to be free. Get the fuck over yourself already. This isn't fucking MIT, this isn't a fucking VAX. This is the real fucking world where real people make real money to pay for real things through software. Get the fuck over yourself. Either use it or shut the fuck up.
Insulted the gamers? Give me a fucking break. Nokia had NO experience with handheld gaming, or even gaming in general. It's a failed first attempt. Get over it.
Tiny screen, shitty form factor, stupid design choices, excessive cost, and games that look like mildly warmed over feces. See also: 3DO, CD-i, Atari Jaguar, and practically every other failed system. Nokia is a phone company, not a gaming company. They tried to meld a phone and a game system and it failed. The hybrid of the two is a horrid design. A much better design would be to either add game functions to a standard phone or add phone functions to a handheld game system. Don't combine the two form factors.
Then why didn't they break Opera 1-5 and 7 as well? Also, why not break Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, Mosaic, and EVERY OTHER FUCKING BROWSER OUT THERE. This stupid fucking conspiracy shit is the dumbest goddamned thing I've ever fucking seen on slashdot. Seriously, Opera has about the same browser market share as MY URETHRA. Which is to say, VERY FUCKING LITTLE. Why the FUCK would MS break Opera, but not any browsers that a sizable group of people use?
First of all, those that moderated this interesting are fucking stupid. It's a joke. Second of all, it's not a particularly funny joke because it's pretty fucking obvious that what is meant is that nine out of ten web users use IE.
They'll continue on, because Mozilla is a bloated piece of shit. Unfortunately, it's also the best thing going on Linux. Galeon used to be good, but the developers apparently suffered some brain damage and half the fucking features are gone. Opera is mega fucked at the resolution I use. So, I'm stuck with this shitheap browser called Mozilla until I can get XP reinstalled on my system. Excuse me while I vomit blood and pass out.
That would be like locking out Netscape 4.50, but allowing all previous and later NS versions to still work, along with every other oddball browser in the world. It doesn't make any sense even from a position of *trying* to damage the competition.
Ys, but that's a sensible and well thought-out argument, and we can't have those on Slashdot.
FUcking Christ in a blender I'm tired of this stuck-up, self-aggrandizing, masturbatory horseshit.
People are not stupid. They just don't fucking care. Most people have a life that exists beyond their monitor. As long as they can check their email and go to the few sites they frequent, THEY DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT THEY ARE USING. They don't give a fuck about standards, they don't give a fuck about MS being 'evil', they don't give a fuck about any of this stupid fucking bullshit you moronic fucking geek.
If people are too stupid to install shit, then how the fuck do you think Flash got so popular? Hey, that's right! When they go to a site that uses it and they don't have it, THEY FUCKING INSTALL IT.
Since you're too damn biased to notice, IE isn't the only non-standards compliant browser out there. In fact, I'm not sure there is a SINGLE browser that is fully standards compliant.
On a slightly different note, when did PDF go from being the devil to being accepted? I thought PDF was horrible because... like... it was made by Adobe and stuff... and they're bad. Or something. *COUGH*
Actually, child labor laws were put into place to keep young people from screwing around with dangerous machinery that was being built at the time. The concept of children is a byproduct of the Industrial Revolution.
Bullshit. You obviously don't have too many non-techie friends. People buy shit based on what their friends own ALL THE FUCKING TIME. If you're looking to upgrade your computer and your friend owns a Mac, you're far more likely to buy a Mac than someone that's never seen it before.
If you're going to be a humorless pedantic tit then the acronym is actual HYMA. Then again, none of those are funny which was the entire fucking point of the grandparent.

Morons. I would have sent it back reading
3. You may not use the Software on a FUCKING LAN YOU GODDAMNED PEDANTIC GEEK-ASS DICKWEED or more than one PC.
But, that's just me.
Try saying that with a straight face in any thread regarding P2P apps.
No. If there was, they'd have done one already.

The difference is that a text adventure has a linear story. A MUD is basically glorified IRC.

Neither. I have about 25GB of stuff to backup first. I don't have a DVD burner, so it's going to get spread across CD's.

You do that, fuckface. Your psycho paranoid delusional dickheaded bullshit probably won't be missed. Grow the fuck up, retard.
You need basic English comprehension lessons. How about this. Remove the comma and the because. Insert a period. Now read these sentences.
IE's dominance has also created fallout for Web standards. Microsoft delivers the Web to roughly nine out of every 10 people who use it.
Even as a joke, your comments are fucking stupid.
Since you're in such a tiny fraction of a minority of users (i.e. Non IE users), I don't think they really give a fuck about you.

Meh, whatever.
Nah, it's the tagline for Pedo Master 5000.
And they go to the neighborhood dork when their computer fucks up, so there you go.
Actually, child labor laws were put into place to keep young people from screwing around with dangerous machinery that was being built at the time. The concept of children is a byproduct of the Industrial Revolution.
Okay, you go ahead and kill all the lawyers and politicians. When you grow up you'll understand why this is a bad thing.
