You're definitely more likely to be a shill, based on the comment you replied to, and your carefully written but spurious argument and "high horse". You reek of "corporate responsibility" and all the duplicity that goes with that.
First of all, why have we got any reason to believe that if someone were promoting Pebble for reward, they'd make a dumb anecdotal comment and ju st give the link?
Since the Pebble is a) more open (computing-wise), b) a lot cheaper and c) a commodity (replacable) item, as opposed to the iWatch's inevitable proprietory platform and vendor lock-in (Will it work fully )with anybody else's smartphones?), anybody promoting it would likely point out these things, and others, giving us REASON to click the link and buy.
You're using words like lamer, implying things you can't possibly read into the comment, like whether he understands what "we" want - this also simultaneously implies that you speak for all of us (if you want something like and iWatch, iPad etc. - you definitely don't speak for all of us!!)
This is the exact same manipulation technique used by shills (government and corporate) to control our purchasing and thought patterns - resulting in the system of control and manipulation Apple et. al. are at the top of right now.
tl;dr: He accuses the parent of being a shill, his comment makes it look more the other way round.
Come on, Grammar Nazis, if you're going to do it, do it properly.
It doesn't matter worth a damn if my ass is in the seat if you're driving. And it doesn't, from the same example, even matter who is occupying the driver's seat.
However, your mileage may vary based on who's driving - and that person's ass is likely (but necessarily) in the driver's seat!
HP used "badgers" in leet-speak for an NSA backdoor? Smells like they wanted people to know, to me. Maybe they didn't like what they were supposed to be doing, and stuck their tongue firmly in cheek at the implementation stage? "Screw the NSA - we'll give them a back door if they want it so much - and we'll make it so that researchers find it easily, so our business isn't damaged in the long term ("If we wanted you data so much, we'd have done a better job of hiding it - blame your government")
Unfortunately, I held out on actually registering, and have a rubbish UID as a result. I still see logical, rational and funny discourse, and I've got quite a loose leash when I post silly things to cause trouble - things could be a lot worse for me here, with the things I post sometimes!
I got the username I would have chosen though, I was webmistressrachel at Excite dot com while it was still going!
It may be simple, but it works, and I can take my SQL (pardon the pun) anywhere from there.
Don't underestimate simple, reliable data formats and methods. Look where all this commercially-driven proprietary crap, and the attitudes that have come with it which now prevail in other industries, I.e. software patents, waste, the environment is taking us...
Backup and restore are new features in this latest version of the Oracle Database??
How on earth did they manage before?! Seriously? Is it just me or am I the only person who writes programs from scratch with data security, portability and safety in mind? Gosh, My data has been separate from the program since I was loading out to 90-minute Type II's!
I mean, seriously, from this article can we assume that mysqldump offered a more sensible backup than every version of the mega-expensive Oracle, until this version?
That's great, better than no TARDIS. Couldn't you link up and trade some destinations from another TARDIS' memory? You're welcome to my, er, dusty, devastated, flight path. I'd try to arrive before I did, though, after all, you know what they say - some of it may be true!
Thank you, unfortunately my TARDIS is having trouble manipulating the article / thread in further amusing ways because it's risky crossing my own timeline, so now I'm stuck going forward with the rest of you for a while!
And, as an aside, even WITH a TARDIS I still can't think of a way to abuse my 15 mod points without causing a paradox and undoing my first post (and all of yours!)

Godwin's Law is still Godwin's Law even when the obvious name isn't mentioned. Discussion over. ;-)
Solutions anyone?
APK won't come anymore unless I personally summon him... APK, u there? ;-)
Worst. Karma. Whore. Ever.
You actually replied, to the reply to a post, with exactly the same statement and quoted text? Wow, that must take some brass neck!

Oh wait... I thought you were joking!

1,4Gb downloaded already, and only 11 Comments? What's wrong with this place? ;-)
Do you pray that one day, just one day, your program will compile and it will happen on the same day, or are you praying for someone else to do it?
You do realise that praying won't help you one bit, right?
Probably. ;-)
What, 23 is cold??? You Yankee wimps, 23 degrees Celsius is warm for us Brits...

I know what an XT is, after all my first PC was a giant compaq "laptop" AT clone - yes, I used it on my knee!
But what is a "walk-up XT" please?

Agreed. I'm happy with 9700M GTS.
I can't imagine anybody NEEDS this latest iteration, unless they want to play "John Madden 2017" or whatever.
Hang on a minute, I just noticed - it wasn't posted AC! And I posted the comment without reading properly...
This (and many other things like it) are why anonymous coward should never be removed from these forums. Bravo!
(no Karma bonus, not Overrated!)
Originated, get that, like all of the tech YOU have is English originated, like, they don't need you anymore, just like you didn't need us!
You just validated my point, plus, you ain't the Lord of anything, either. ;-)
No, it's made in the US. Soon, you will be a second-world nation, and China will be a services-orientated economy...

I got first because I went back in my TARDIS... ;)
