You're a fucking dumb idiot, and you and people like you should be exterminated forthwith.
Not only do you hold society back by bullying and ridiculing people for being cleverer than you,people like you skew the averages so that genuinely average people are prevented from achieving their potential by our stupid "lowest common denominator" and "learn by rote, don't THINK!!!" education systems.
I realised that Earth wasn't the planet for me the first time I was bullied at primary school for being "too intelligent" or "too serious".
Then I left school and discovered that employers have the same attitude to critical thinking and intelligence. And people wonder why I'm a bitter trolling bitch???
I'm still chuffed with one of the wittiest comments I've posted yet. Think about it, there's layers there, that's unusual for me! Open sores, you know, vulnerable infection, so it might as well be Open Source.
I've never seen anyone use Open Sores to refer to Windows like that, especially with the comparison to the correctly-spelled version. I know, I know, over-analysis of the joke, but I didn't see just how good it was till I read it again,,,
Thank you. Hi, I'm the "There ARE girls on the internet, and some of us can code too!" troll. Pleased to meet you, Macgrrl. While I'm trolling, I may as well add "Nice. There's another girl here. Shame about her choice of platform..." lol.
Isn't this the planet you designed, and if so, knowing how false the whole thing is, why bother visiting?
Sorry, but I've never seen you post before. That would be because I'm young and naive and all the stuff the troll want to add to that.
I will say this though: The first thing I thought was "This IS his blog" and that's because I do the research, I've known for years who wrote it. I'm mucho fascinated by/.'s history and culture.
No, he got the joke, he just didn't find it very funny. He recognised the old line and pointed out the fallacy of the meme, thereby whooshing over your shallow, sarcastic head.
In other words, he effectively dispelled the joke.
Everybody needs to read something twice every now and again, especially when skimming a list of headlines or an RSS feed, for example.
Sometimes what we mis-read is amusing or insightful, either in or out of context, and gets posted because people like to, you know, share their amusement or insights (that's what/. is for, you know, sharing). I know this first-hand, because I've done it myself.
I read "rioters" as "routers" expecting a map of the internets in Vancouver, then read the summary... I guess I'll just have to carry on doing my own wardriving for the time being...
Hmmm, I believe you just bit a very common troll, how does it taste?
Surely you've seen the "BSD doesn't support xyz" (where BSD clearly does support xyz) troll before? The other one we see a lot here is the "Netcraft confirms it... BSD is dying". That one never gets replies, though.
Just emo vampires, as opposed to other kinds? You, my friend, are a trad goth with a chip on your shoulder, aren't you? The swooning tween girls remark gives it away: jealousy, the oldest emotion.
What's even more worrying is that there will be no way to prove anything was redacted or censored, or is or isn't the original unedited email. They will just release 25,000 pages of mundane drivel for journalists to pore through for months while she gets elected, but the really bad stuff was simply <SHIFT>> <DELETE> 'd before printing.
HEY DONT MENTION MY FRIEND THE HOSTS FILE TROLL, OK? - Rachel
Why does the lameness filter stop me from posting the above, but will allow others to do it? HTML entities for capital letters? Maybe this will balance it out...
"I wonder why Slashdot can't make posts editable..."
Probably because someone would post the best troll ever, causing flames from here to the wayback machine, and then edit the post to something sensible, succint, and on-topic, and proceed to reply to all the biters...
And they should then punish that 14yo accordingly, preventing him from doing worse in the future.
I'm fed up with people being hassled by society for something harmless like smoking pot, while people make lame excuses for other people, who can get away with far worse because it's considered less harmful.
In the long run, which hurts others more, personal use of natural herbs or script kiddies and what script kiddies will become if they are allowed to continue to get away with it, and learn to become full-blown black-hatters? Add spammers to that and w've got a recipe for actively encouraging crime and criminals.
Although I'd love to see a post by my favourite black-hat troll, this isn't one of them.
apk, where are you? What's the point of somebody HOSTing this thread if you won't attend? Rachel...
ps... check my posting history for lots of apk baiting goodness...

Fire back. I deserve it...
Red Hat Enterprise Server is corporate, but open source. Windows is corporate with open sores. I see no conflict there...

You can relax. I think he means "counterfeiting". :-)

I can't believe that no-ones pointed out the prior art. I mean come on; Tagged anyone???
How about bebo? Plenty more where that came from ....
Nice troll. Bit obvious though...
GIFY.
There, FTYF (sic)...

My theory is that this is an attempted page widening troll. It goes something like this:
I read "rioters" as "routers" expecting a map of the internets in Vancouver, then read the summary... I guess I'll just have to carry on doing my own wardriving for the time being...

Your comment is informative, however.
Yay! Someone got my geeky reference!
"LulzSec"
Are they like C-Sec, but just for the "Lulz"?

Surely trying every doorknob on a terraced street qualifies as intent to tresspass and steal??
Whoosh^2!
