See? I can make moderation suggestions without evidence too!
Aside which, I think a judge hearing this case in the first place is making a mistake. People shouldn't have the right to complain about this sort of thing, much less get monetary compensation for damages to their poor civilian psyches. But hey, while(true) { nanny_government++; }
It's also quicker than FF and doesn't leak memory like a sieve.
False as well.
While it's true that FF2 leaked memory (a lot more than any other browser), the team has overhauled that in FF3 and it now uses less memory per loaded page than any of the other browsers. The remaining memory holes are still mostly in the plugins (Flash is a good example, google browser sync does a nasty job of it too). However, "quicker than firefox" is an outright lie. Firefox process HTML faster than IE, runs Javascript faster, cleaner, and better than IE, and loads images faster, cleaner, and closer to the standard than IE. Furthermore I don't call the gaping activex holes in IE "Security and reliability", unless getting hit with loads of spyware and having the odd practice of locking up all the freaking time is your definition of "reliability"
Sorry if your troll wooshed over my head, you seem wrong enough that it may very well have been such.
I have yet to see anything intelligent written in "message board language."
Argumentum ad Ignoratum
The only real reason to quote such tripe is to make fun of the writer's lack of education.
We do that already. It's called "replying". You might have done it once or twice.
it is a question of ethics. If you feel it is ethical to mock someone, then quote them verbatim. If you do not feel that this sort of treatment is ethical, then write about something else.
So based on your apparent standards for ethics, it's more ethical to quote a Nazi who writes like Tolstoy than a food bank volunteer with a spelling problem? The problem with your calculus is that it cannot come to a question of "ethics" because you'd have to draw some line at how much paraphrasing you'd have to do, which (in a plurality of cases) would break semantics, simply because the journalist is not qualified to interpret every possible utterance that any person could say.... and this isn't a fabricated problem, either. You can look at the blatant lack of reporting on communities speaking the so called chicano and african-american English vernaculars as evidence of how journalists, following your example, simply avoid the subject and underrepresent entire social groups in the mass media. You can look at journalists paraphrasing candidate statements to see how the media displaces speeches from their original intention. Also, I think it's also mentioned somewhere in this thread that direct quotes are necessary to avoid libel litigation. [sic] was made for a reason, and if you have to quote a message board post like so:
I a mothr of 5 n atlant a, GA. mc cain is a jurk nd nobudy shud vote 4 him [sic]
Then that's how you have to do it. Rules is rules [sic].
You just say that because you're a far-(right/left) radical NUT.
Liberal and Conservative have no definition and are therefore useless as argumentation techniques. Watch: National Journal voted Obama the most liberal senator in office. This is bullshit on face, because Obama is still tied to the democratic party line; Bernie Sanders is probably the most liberal senator because, and get this HE'S A FUCKING SOCIALIST. THE ONLY FUCKING SOCIALIST. Oh, but National Journal can place an actually fairly moderate senator (dennis kucinich and his friends were far more liberal than obama) on the "most liberal" side, because you can't argue with it. Most in the republican party simply call someone Liberal if they disagree with them, but then again, republican leaders inserted that definition into their heads, so you can't blame them too much.
National Journal, therefore, is a rag. Liberal and Conservative mean nothing. Left and Right are names for your arms and legs, not political associations.
Well yeah, we had refugees. That's to be expected after any disaster. I just think it's hilarious that all my neighbors tried to say the crime was a result of the refugees being black. That is, it's hilarious they say that and then turn around and wish everyone a happy Black History Month in February. Louisiana isn't the only backwards community around here.
Remember Rita and how everyone evacuated and nothing actually happened?
lol wtf are you talking about? I live 2 hours from the state. Of course I can hold it against them. Unlike all of you yanks, having lived nextdoor to this backward state all my life, I'm not one bit surprised that they did this.
yhbt lol Are you serious? Nobody caught this? The poster's name is MENSA BABE ffs!! His signature uses BRITISH SPELLING!! His writing style comes straight out of Hillary Clinton's campaign!
As an NLP guy I'll second this- TFA is just Slow News Day stuff; yeah the science is more theoretical than practical right now, but look at what happened when you started giving NASA shit for taking so long- lol finding water on mars.
The parent will never reply to you, because the kind of people who say ignorant garbage like that like to imagine that gays don't actually exist and that you're just having sex with your own gender to piss other people off, because they think you're exactly as self-righteous as them.
You know what, I have too much karma, I think I need to change my sig to +5, Truth.
That's fine, apparently the only one you've heard about is a bigot so if you treat every woman computer scientist you meet based on that assumption we'll reach a nice state of equality in the industry.:/ What a fucking bitch. Seriously. It's not even like she has a study to back it up. I hope she gets thrown off the board for sexual harassment.

Ah, department of homeland stupidity.
You do know that being first post doesn't mean you have to make your post a troll. :)
Then again, I'm betting about 80% of the subjects in Project Mojave were like "Yeah, this is vista. I can tell because it f**ked up my settings."
This post is not Insightful. It is flamebait.

Wow, that didn't last long.
This concludes the FOX News Commentary on this article. Next up: Barack Obama, secret muslim, or just a terrorist?
Do you have trouble introducing yourself in Spanish?
I'm going to lose hella karma for this post.
"Japan is superior", +1, Insightful
Not that parent shouldn't have been modded up, it's just when a funny post gets modded insightful, sometimes it scares me.
You've clearly never used IE before.
False as well.

Google (doing what they promised to do in the first place), at least they (don't want to lose their super-loyal customer base).
Google isn't "evil", they're just motivated the same way every corporation is: Legally bound to their shareholders to make a profit.
If having bad grammar and being offtopic and unfunny is what qualifies for legit these days, then yes.

So, what would be the coolest and most far out thing you would do with this kind of hardware?
Group sex. Next!
