great writers can. so what you're saying is that authors of graphic novels can be crap and still get their point across. woohoo....
also, often what makes something more powerful isn't what the author says, but what they don't say - what is left to the immagination, the blanks the reader fills in with personal details which leads to a kind of bond.
1. 200 (XP Pro, Full) vs 60 is irrelevant when I said I wouldn't even use it for free.
2. aaaaaaaahhahahahahahahha are you joking? within the last 24 hours we had a story about an exploit via Firefox, but only on XP/2000. also, I don't want to worry about it "silently" breaking something.
3. the authentication is annoying and I refuse to buy something that nags me even after I pay for it. it's even more annoying since I know it's completely worthless, not least of all because I was able to use a pirate version to see what it was like.
I don't refuse to "upgrade" to XP because I'm cheap, it's because XP is a pile of shite and offers nothing for my 200 quid than having to be constantly worrying about the 10 new exploits found every day and needing to ask Microsoft if I can use some different hardware.
I wouldn't even use it if it were free - I threw away my "educational purposes" (i.e. pirate) version and hated that I had wasted a CD-R on it.
and a militia was needed to keep the King of England from invading, and a black person counted as a fraction of a white person, and a native counted as nothing.
if the concept of regulation is antiquated then so is the concept of having armed civilians.
...contains IMO Seraph's coolest moment - "first I must apologise" to one of the Captains with a gun, then backwards somersaults and knocks the gun out of his hand. Then quite a good fight to "get to know him" like he does to Neo.
>Linux / Mozilla / Evolution is not secure, it's just not a vector of attack
you're making a tired FUD argument. and using jargon like "vector" doesn't make you any more right.
linux and mozilla are fundamentally far more secure than their MS counterparts. they were designed by people wanting to make good software, not by people wanting to make money. get over it.

and you thought you'd use your karma bonus to tell us that!?
jesus wept.
for all intensive purposes I could care less about the difference between "mute" and "moot" so try and impress someone else
so... many... holes...
is MS trying to buffer overflow our minds in order to run arbitrary advertising in our brains?!?!?!?!
Click me, you 'tard!

yes, the model of receiver pays has got to be the most retarded thing ever.
it makes so little sense its invention must have been motivated purely by desire for profit, bypassing all consideration of anything else.
don't be a fucking retard, SMS is one of the greatest communication advances ever. I'd rather live without email than SMS.
I used to use someone@something.org, but will now use this.
others I've used are things like fuck.you@leave.me.alone.you.twats.com
...the patent office makes more money allowing retarded patents to get through than by being sensible.
I think PowerDVD is fantastic, I use it under Windows.
speaking of which, Windows just lost its major feature for me - DVD playback. (I know about DeCSS, I want legal solutions and don't care about money)
if I weren't addicted to Virtual Pool 3 MS would be dead to me.
YOU: ...because IE isn't worth the problems anymore.
..because Windows isn't worth the problems anymore.
I've been using Firefox for ages, and now:
ME:
not trying to be a linux zealot, just honestly seeing no reason to bother with MS at all any more. YMMV.

Ben Franklin was a fucktard. he's the original soup nazi:
"You value your safety and loved ones above my principles!? No liberty or security for you!"
er, last 10 or 20 times I installed it on linux all I had to do was unzip and run.
then isn't having to provide financial information assuption of guilt and testifying against yourself for tax evasion?
and isn't license and registration testiying against yourself for driving whilst disqualified and car theft?
and isn't a passport testifying against yourself for illegal immigration?
what about politicians having to declare funding? isn't that assuming they've done something wrong and unconstitutional?
no.
how does that work?
"hey that was disgusting, put a tape in quick and record 5 minutes ago"

no, not at all. I hope the quality of your endorsement in no way reflects the quality of Wikipedia.

I cared about hearing other people's opinions a couple years ago. Please stop.
PDAs and mobile phones have already (imo) been almost perfectly converged in the Sony Ericsson P900
indeed. Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain.
presumably trying to fight for Windows' security is also in vain.
