Thanks for that brand new tool to use in my arguments! Sure it's intellectually bankrupt, but that hardly matters when you want to say something stupid to rile people.
For instance:
Books cannot carry ideas, they are merely processed dead trees with embedded ink marks in a prescribed sequence.
That doesn't really address a flaw, exactly. It more or less states a personal objection, but that objection isn't derived from reason, it's derived from a belief. Or the opposite of a belief, really, but without backing from proof it's still just a belief.
You can't reason gods away, try though people will. That's what makes the whole religion concept so damn fascinating.
Many would disagree that the move to CD's was an improvement over LPs
Yeah, but those are the same people who pay 100 dollars a foot for fancy audio cables. Stupid people making stupid decisions may not be the greatest example you could use.
Comparing AJAX to DHTML isn't valid. They address different areas of technology entirely. You might as well ask someone to compare the taste of oranges to the responsiveness of a Mini Cooper.
Ah, I see a luddite got some mod points. I heartily apologize. It's wrong people who shower are allowed to use computers now, and that we aren't satisfied with your cryptically arranged 70s legacy. We'll promptly stop wishing for progress and join you in your desire to keep things as they were 30 years ago.
Fortune 500 companies buy desktops for their workers, who they shove into cube farms and treat like crops. I think a trailer park is a pretty good analogy on a lot of levels, actually.
I'm hoping Unix dies the ugly death it deserves long before then. It's alright in most cases at this time, but it's showing its age all over the place. There are better possibilities, and I'd hate to think we're stuck with what we have now.
And it's modded funny at that. A sterling example of a statement from the deep philosopher Barney Coopersmith: Everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, even people who don't.
Truly, a display of intellect unequalled in Slashdot history. Someone hasn't been caught, so the people that have been must be innocent. Were Johnny Cochran still alive, he'd have you on the frontline of high-profile criminal defense cases.
I thought they were about as cheesy as the "M$" jokes that go on around here. Certainly not clever, and they make the rudimentary marketing mistake of defining themselves in terms of their competition. That's just coming out and saying "We're losing."
(I am a Mac user, but I don't subscribe to the cult that surrounds my choice in computers.)
No, it just means the conspiracy goes deeper, obviously. They're covering up signs of investigation to lull people into a false sense of privacy so they can use the old double-double bluff later on. It's transparent, really, when you know what to look for.
The difference in capability between the Macbook Pro and the Powerbook is enough to convince me that Apple made the right decision. I can only sit and stare at a spinning beachball for so long.
Holy shit you Sony fanboys really take this stuff personally.
You should relax a little, maybe unsnare your identity from the game console you apparently love. It's not healthy to be so wrapped up in something so stupid.
I hope you're not a Java programmer. If you are, I recommend you read up on java.lang.ClassLoader and start realizing just how it can solve the problem you're worried about, completely.

I like it! Thanks again.

(For the record, I'm on your side.)
What scares me is the possibility that you believe you actually addressed the point.
Many would disagree that the move to CD's was an improvement over LPs
Yeah, but those are the same people who pay 100 dollars a foot for fancy audio cables. Stupid people making stupid decisions may not be the greatest example you could use.
That makes the presumption that people care about not using Windows. Since that obviously isn't the case, you're tilting at windmills.
The hidden message: I would like to start a flamewar. Is this a good question to ask?

Craziness with the sheen of rationality is still craziness. Presentation of ideas only counts in advertising.
Or to put it crudely: a gilded turd is still a turd.
Your ideas are, for lack of a better term, stupid. No amount of calm discourse propagating them will change that.
And it's modded funny at that. A sterling example of a statement from the deep philosopher Barney Coopersmith: Everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, even people who don't.

Having faith in a company is like having faith in pulling out.
Vista's security scheme works like sudo or the OS X admin password dialog. You're out of your element.

Is the reson the subatomic particle that carries thought?
That's not real Swedish. There's no "bork, bork, bork" at the end.
Try to fool me...

I've got another game idea! You can tug and pull on the wiimote to dislodge the stick from some people's anuses! It'll sell millions.
That site isn't worth pimping so often, man. Give it up or make it better.

Yeah, but it makes you sound effete.
Come to think of it, I'm sure that helps you fit in.
