I have? In what context? I'm not sure if you're being facetious or not, but if I did, I apologize.
Maybe some of the people you think are twitter are, but maybe you're seeing things that aren't there.
Maybe one of these days I'll waste an hour writing the "Twitter Failure Log" and document all of his sockpuppets. God knows he's dumb enough to post things likethese that make it easier. But no, I'm not seeing things at all. Take this thread, he's posted with three different accounts so far, plus two AC posts. twitter thinks he's clever, but his writing patterns give him away immediately.
Just look at the posting histories for Erris, twitter, inTheLoo, Mactrope and gnutoo. It's just amazing how they keep replying and running to each other, isn't it?
Maybe, in fact, there are people who really don't like being screwed by Microsoft.
Without a doubt. However, this has nothing to do with Microsoft. How would you like for me to create five different accounts and then have a conversation (about any topic) where you think you're talking to five different people? That's the epitome of dishonesty, which is amusing considering he spends all his waking hours bemoaning the fact that Microsoft is dishonest.
Anyway, I've gotten all my well-deserved offtopic moderations for the day. Unlike twitter I don't post AC and I don't have five different accounts that can shill each other. So peace out.
Wow, that's interesting. The only other person on Slashdot that cleverly calls OOXML "M$XML" is twitter. Oh, and "Erris". But then we all know what's going on here, don't we?
Cool, thanks for the info. AdBlock is really the deal breaker for me, if 3.0 doesn't have it (or it doesn't work well) then I might as well go back to IE7. I'm pretty sure eventually they'll all be updated.
I have to say I'm impressed that they've reduced the memory usage by that much. On the other hand, it's a bit ironic that they fixed all these leaks that before you'd get flamed for even suggesting existed.
Since you can save your session, is there really any reason to be keeping your browser open for 3 days.
The correct question here is why should I have to restart my browser every three days.
I rarely see it go past 150M of memory usage. I suspect it's probably some extension you are running that is consuming all the memory.
On this machine FF has been running continuously for 4 1/2 days. I have one tab open (this one). The Windows task manager says the process is using 430MB of memory, with about the same for VM. That means it's been a good week, since I've see it go to 700MB.
As for extensions, I have IEView, AdBlock Plus and CustomizeGoogle, plus Google Notebook, which is installed but disabled.
Cool, then the Firefox developers will be able to blame not just memory leaks but everything on plugins. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
Personally I'll wait to see if Firefox3 doesn't consume 700MB of memory after being open for three days before I think about buying into the idea that the Mozilla foundation should be pushing any envelopes.
has Microsoft ever produced a product where they focused on providing better quality than the competition?
Ah, the canonical "I don't want to sound like X, but has Microsoft ever done Y?" question. Always a winner among people who have managed to convince themselves that the only software products Microsoft has ever released are Bob, Clippy and IE6.
In the meantime, you can pry Visual Studio 2008,.NET 3.5, Biztalk, HIS, SQL Server, Windows Server 2003/2008, PowerShell and XPSP2, out of my dead, cold fingers.
The so-called "Irish Music" dispute concerns the portion of US copyright law that lets restaurants and shops play broadcast music without compensating the copyright holders. As previous coverage of this issue shows, Europe takes a fairly hard-line stance on these payments; a UK car repair chain was even targeted by collecting societies because its mechanics played their radios loud enough that customers could hear them.
Pretty much the very group of people for whom this is an anathema are taking the opportunity to complain that the US has not implemented this draconian bullshit because, well, it's fun to say "the US ignores what it doesn't like".
I have trouble understanding the amount of time and dedication it takes to have that many accounts on the same web site. I mean I can barely juggle all my different accounts and passwords on different sites as it is, not to mention all the ones at work.
Wow twitter, you've posted in this thread with three different accounts already. Why don't you invite your other sockpuppet and make it a party? Then you can pretend you find your own tripe to be extremely funny.
All that incessant blabber of yours about how everyone around you is "dishonest" and actively gaming Slashdot comes to mind. How do you reconcile all that with your obviously fake holier-than-though attitude?
Seriously though, how do you juggle so many accounts? I'm actually curious. Do you use four different browsers or just one and have to log off and log in to reply to your own posts?
twitter, the whole point of using sockpuppets is to make people think that someone else is posting the same things. So when you say
For some reason, they keep pointing at and saying nasty things about you. That makes you my friend.
People will think that you are:
a) Slightly retarded
b) Slightly gay
c) The same person
Either way, you fail it.
By the way, I have to chuckle at the fact that the only way you can get your sockpuppets to be modded up is to dispense the usual "M$ Windoze LOLOL" tripe. I can almost see you hyperventilating when you have to spell them correctly.
Except for say UAC, all the DRM and the fact that the thing runs slower on more powerful hardware then XP?
Um, I used to run XP on a dual Xeon with 4GB of RAM and installed Vista on it. After shutting down some of the services I don't really need, I can't see the difference. As for UAC, you can turn it off if you feel the need.
It employs many design concepts from *Nix that weren't present in 9X so in a way it is very similar to Unix. Now granted there are only a finite way of solving problems present in Windows 9X so making it more Unix like is one of the ways to make it more secure.
Since KDE looks much like the Win32 shell and ACL-based security seems to be all the rage, I supposed that goes both ways.
2000 probably won't run on the same hardware that 95 ran on,
Maybe because it was released five years after Windows 95. Perhaps you can show me KDE 4.x running on a Pentium II 450. More importantly, W2K ran on the same hardware as NT4, which is what it was meant to replace. It also ran on the same hardware as Windows 98 SE.
It is, it is basically Windows 2K
It's not, there are thousands of improvements between XP and 2000, and claiming otherwise because you can make XP look like 2000 is right out of the armchair "evangelist" cookbook. New versions of MSMQ, IIS, COM+, improvements in DCOM, expanded group policy settings, QoS providers, better WMI coverage, better wireless support, a firewall, the security center, better multi-user support, etc. etc. Oh, and themes, yes.
A bit off topic, but I can't help replying to such blatant lies. Or opinions passed as facts.

twitter, I've said it before and I really do mean it, you should seek professional psychiatric help.
You can do whatever you want, just don't create five accounts that high-five and shill each other to do it.
Wow, that's interesting. The only other person on Slashdot that cleverly calls OOXML "M$XML" is twitter. Oh, and "Erris". But then we all know what's going on here, don't we?
Keeping track of all those sockpuppets is hard, isn't it?
The conversation you're having with yourself? Not including me, this thread has six posts by four different accounts, three of which are yours.
This thing you're doing is just mind-boggling, and you're going to get caught soon enough.
I never said it was the developers.
I have to say I'm impressed that they've reduced the memory usage by that much. On the other hand, it's a bit ironic that they fixed all these leaks that before you'd get flamed for even suggesting existed.
That's bloody impressive, if they've gotten it that far down. What plugins do you have loaded? Do the 2.x plugins work with 3.0?

Good thing the good guys like Mozilla don't do that.
Oh wait...
You need to stop now.
I'm not sure I wanted to know, but thanks anyway =)

The chuckle factor is definitely high here.

He has another one?? No kidding?

Is he your friend too?
Apparently, all these copies of Vista that no one is buying are connected to the internet somehow. More "M$" shenanigans?
Shilling your own posts. How lame.
I think your humour detector is broken, twitter. Maybe it was smelted the last time you threw a tantrum over Vista market share numbers or something.
People will think that you are:
a) Slightly retarded
b) Slightly gay
c) The same person
