I wonder if the moderators have agenda's. I edited the article for Internet Troll to include an example of a real life troll that would aid in the understanding of online trollish behavior. I added a point that on irc.chatjunkies.org in channel #linuxhelp there lies a troll known as lowkey. It was removed and I was warned not to use the Wikipedia to attack or defame someone. This is an outrage!!

Actually, PCs are far more technically advanced still. While consoles are as fast or faster, with prettier graphics and whatnot, a PC has many more components than just CPU/memory. A PC has a more complicated archetecture because it has to deal with more devices. There are harddrives of types, USB, Firewire, serial, parrallel, PCI, IDE and then there are the internet protocols and all sorts. A PC is expected to run an operating system and a bunch of programs. It's expected to have an environment that a user can interact with. A console runs one program at a time. This program uses up as much of the CPU and memory as it can to be as fast and pretty as possible. There is much more that goes into PCs so that a PC can function as it's expected to, than goes into a console. PCs are only slower because harddrives and other busses are slower. The archetecture and complexity of a computer is what makes it slower. After buying all those components, the CPU and memory look expensive. A top of the line computer goes for way more than a console, and is faster. A computer at the same cost is very slow, but has much more functionality.
I can't wait for Google Pharmaceuticals (sp?), Google Nation Air Defense, Google Studios, Google Power Inc., Google Steel, Google Oil, Google Nanotech, Google Computers, United States of Google, The Google Stock Market, and maybe Google Motors.
I know I'm probably beating the horse a bit but... Google Adsense is a service and not a partnership. Those that pirate Perfect 10 and have Adsense are not partners, they are costumers. Therefor, Perfect 10 is full of shit.
I'm just bitterly pissed that "coopetition" might just make it into common English, and I'll have to hear 'doze lusers use the word. I can just feel it now when the first luser comes up to me and actually uses the word like it was proper.
M$ actually doesn't know anything about it's own SMB protocol. That's probably why the information they gave up was confusing and why network drives don't really work well.
Well, it's certainly good to know that a little ignorant mistake like this won't result in a World War of all the billion and a half Muslims. Sometimes it feels like you have to walk on egg-shells in respecting others' cultures. Sometimes it feels downright hipicritical too.
Having chosen English as the preferred language in the EEC, the
European Parliament has commissioned a feasability study in ways of
improving efficiency in communications between Government departments.
European officials have often pointed out that English spelling is
unnecessary difficult; for example: cough, plough, rough, through and
thorough. What is clearly needed is a phased programme of changes to
iron out these anomalies. The programme would, of course, be
administered by a committee staff at top level by participating nations.
In the first year, for example, the committee would suggest using 's'
instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants in all sities would
reseive this news with joy. Then the hard 'c' could be replaced by 'k'
sinse both letters are pronounsed alike. Not only would this klear up
konfusion in the minds of klerikal workers, but typewriters kould be
made with one less letter.
There would be growing enthusiasm when in the sekond year, it was
anounsed that the troublesome 'ph' would henseforth be written 'f'.
This would make words like 'fotograf' twenty per sent shorter in print.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are
possible. Governments would enkourage the removal of double letters
which have always been a deterent to akurate speling.
We would al agre that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the languag is
disgrasful. Therefor we kould drop thes and kontinu to read and writ as
though nothing had hapend. By this tim it would be four years sins the
skem began and peopl would be reseptive to steps sutsh as replasing

vitsh is, after al, half a 'w'. Shortly after zis, ze unesesary 'o'

I see, thanks.
Rectifiers take up that much space and cause that much heat?

Is that like something M$ will do to RSS?

I have an abacus cluster. 35 abacuses linked together and they run Linux. It rules.
Linux is what he or she should learn. Get a crappy old box, slap Linux and let the kid go to town on it.
Huh?
"Think Differently" Fer Shakespear's sake!
RSS is actually XML. That's the beauty of XML. XML is anything you want. What do you want today?
It's true. I returned to the future and found that they soon will become common place in our society. You will have a sex change, btw.
Damn. :p
I can see it now. Unipages with virii in them. If you can stick code in them, you've got a medium for virii. Just like M$ Word.

Culture is very powerful, respect cultures because people will die for them.
