    Pure genius. This is a call to arms to all the blackhats out there!

  3. Re:The bubble was never there. on Has the Desktop Linux Bubble Burst? · · Score: 1

    True, but it won't be the customer who'll need to choose. It'll be the retailer telling the customer which is the best version. Or worse, it'll come bundled with the computer. This is so unlike having to choose the best Linux distro, then choosing the best desktop environment and all the way down to the single apps. And all this out of opinion found in web-forums.
    People love to be told "This is the best for you". And they'll get told Windows Vista is the best for them.

  6. Re:They're mostly Windows users, too on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Memory leaks? Not to me. It's very easy to limit the amount of memory FF takes for itself if it's really deemed a problem. My computer has 128Mb RAM and FF is running like magic.

  7. Re:Pets? Similar to gadgets? on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    What about Homo Sapiens having relied on technology for one million years now? Has the discovery of the wheel been such an evolutionary tragedy? I don't think so. Well, apart from SUVs.

    So the hamster I shut down in my microwave when I was a child oven didn't really die but is now travelling in time.

    Maybe they were female gay rapists. Or maybe transvestites.

  13. Re:I don't believe in dodos on Scientists Find Preserved Dodo Bird Bones · · Score: 1

    You can change the name "Satan" for that of "God" and your sentence doesn't change its meaning. Therefore we can infer that Satan is God.
