Does anyone even use the "anti-phishing" mode? I've turned it off on both browsers. Who needs this except for complete internet n00bs? Is there any such thing as a complete internet n00b anymore? Even my 71 yr. old mother knows enough not to fall for phishing.
Electronics have a HUGE markup - especially in the early adoption phase. They try to recoup R & D expenses through outrageous initial pricing. Then their 60-70% markup after prices come down is just profit taking.
I used to manage a home electronics store. [/credentials]

GODDAMIT FUD!
Friggin' looney tunes publicity hounds!
I've never seen a more shameless attention grab since FarenDUPE 911.
Hey! Moron! Maybe giving away stuff for free isn't exactly the best way to MAKE MONEY! MS is a FOR PROFIT business. They are a public company that answers to shareholders. What a douche. I can't stand the mamby pamby do-gooders on this site. Go hug a friggin' tree or something ya pussies.
...and while I was voting without any problems at all, some old man started using the booth next to me and immediately called someone over and told them his machine kept automatically choosing a republican candidate and exclaimed that the "same thing happened during the presidential election!" Meanwhile the volunteer showed him what to do and told him to press harder on the screen and then he says "Oh...okay", and he didn't make another peep about it. People need to realize that there are a lot of crazy people out there that make crazy accusations. This guy was one of them. This to me is a perfect example of how some of these stupid stories get started - by kooks. with agendas.
That link was to a gay website and now there's a gay cookie on my harddrive that I have to manually search for because I don't feel like wiping out all my cookies because I like some of my cookies, especially the chocolate chip ones (yeah yeah, that was lame, bite me). Damn. I hate when that happens.
Coke is a trademark and proper noun, whereas coke is a slang term for cocaine. I realize that here at Slashdot we have no use for accurate spelling, but let's at least show a tiny bit of regard for the actual subject matter we're referring to in our "articles". Some people who couldn't properly describe their bowel movements with a noun and verb would still consider themselves educated because they can use someone else's script with an updated tweak to write a lame shareware app.
Now I'm pissed.
...this sounds a little scary to me. I'm sure it's completely innocuous, but when this stuff becomes an advanced science many years from now then what? What could happen in the hands of naredowells?
If those companies didn't do it "voluntarily" then they wouldn't be able to do business there so it's not only censorship but extortion as well.
We all know it's just semantics. And they know that we know, they just don't give a shit.
The sun will go supernova in 5 billion years and burn up the earth, then, if that doesn't kill off all humans - even ones that escaped the earth - our galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy effectively destroying all remnant life and if that doesn't do the trick the universe will end entirely in 10 billion years by folding in on itself, so, why do I give a shit about some insignificant atmospheric event that MIGHT threaten our species that won't even be a real issue until long after I'm dead. I've got bigger fish to fry, and more gas to burn in my large displacement sports car. Alarmist schmucks.
He was obviously faking this whole time. His low self esteem must have driven him to fake a malady for attention and it seems to have worked. Seems like a pretty good idea since Dilbert hasn't been relevant for years now.
If anyone thinks I'm serious, you're just being silly.
Yeah, that's helpful, and fanboyspeak, and unrealistic, and loser-talk, and obnoxious, and generally childlike and immature. Did I mention that post was stupid? I didn't?? Well it was.
You're just an idiot in denial and not worth the effort of typing this. I don't give a shit how much music or how many movies you steal. It's none of my business. Knock yourself out. Literally. Duplication of files blah blah blah...delude THIS moron.
Oooh, so you're the one guy who uses the game for educational purposes. Oh wait, that's right, it's just another rationalization for checking out of reality. Hey, if it works for you that's great.
It's just semantics and pirate babble. You know damn well what is meant so cut the pseudo-intellectual bullshit. If you take something without paying for it, and that something is produced for the sake of being sold for profit , then you are stealing it. No amount of rationalizing can dispute that fact. Look, I hate DRM as much as the next guy, maybe more, but I'm not delusional either.

I abused the shit out of some chocolate chip muthas after lunch today.
It will probably improve their lives now that they're banned. They should thank Blizzard for giving them their lives back.
How could anyone screw that easy task up?
I want one!! Two even!! One mounted on each side of my front gate.

Must be the salt on the skin. Bacon and prosciutto have a high salt content. [/serious post]

Um...yeah...that would be bad.

Censorship is never an alternative.
Seriously, this is just more hoax crap. I've never seen so much garbage posted as serious news.
