    No piecemeal computer kit thrown together by others will ever quite match the integrated holistic approach of Apple products.

    I get moderated troll/flamebait every time I expression my opinion on Apple products but it haven't stopped me. Do I think it's correct? No, but it's not like I will shut up because of it, and my karma is still excellent.

    What we should do is meta-moderate more.

    Regarding anonymous things I got so fucking upset in a game of WC3 when I fast creeped three mines and exped at all of them and then my fucking team mate whined how he wanted one of them and I told him to creep one of his own but instead he killed my exp. But since I had more money I just killed his new exp at the same time and started to attack his units but later for whatever stupid reason I helped defend his base instead of letting others ruin it which already was my own intention (heck, I was attacking his town hall when the enemy came and then I started to solo-defend his base... Retarded I know :D)

    Anyway, we lost the game but I still had the highest score in it and we would still had won if he got to keep the exp he stole and I hadn't fighted him any more but he was such a retard. Norwegian, "svettesvein", was his username.

    Right then I so wished I could had smacked him IRL. A loss isn't a problem but I was so fucking upset on this idiot. Same for removed forum posts/crashed browser/failed AJAX-crap/useless Apple power cord not charging killing the battery/... and what not, I've put in effort writing them, you better have a damn good reason for removing them.

    I wouldn't have blamed you for, and probably would have encouraged you to, post anonymously.

    I don't care, do with it as you please.

    If true, and not by choice, I'm sorry.

    True? Yes.
    By choice? I wouldn't say so, though I guess my whole sex drive/partner intrest/.. may be lower than others, some special preferences (preferably non-animal eating to begin with) and I don't see why I should have sex with someone I find unattractive or don't like for whatever reason.

    I guess it can feel ok even with ugly people you don't have anything in common with but well, don't seem much worth it.

    Suck that I haven't found any attractive one or was to harsh on the vegan judging though, should probably had less restrictive filtering =P

    Small hacks and what on Windows would be something like "my first VB-project" and they are asking for tens of dollars for them.

    Of course there is their total right to do so but it's kinda sad then it's not an hobbyist platform for fun but something there even the user focus on the pro users and companies which would be able to pay for crap like that.

    It removes plenty of the fun from trying new things out and fiddling with your tools (no, not that tool) just because you can =p

    But it's not stealing unless they try to prevent it. If they have some sort of login or something such and you worked your way around that it would be stealing, not so if it just simply works.

    Same for linking an image of someone else webserver, some people consider that theft of bandwidth, I consider that preservation of eventual copyright since I don't copy and host my own copy of the actual image.
