I love that someone modded you up. So, if I give you a box of matches and you set fire to your house on purpose, you'd blame me? Kind of like people who pour hot coffee on themselves and file a lawsuit for a million bucks, right?
acer is not exactly off the hook here either.
That's an interesting way to put it. But I guess that's the only way to rationalize it if you were desperate enough to pin this on Microsoft for some reason.
twitter, I thought I'd point out that you've forgotten the fact that you started this interesting thread using your sockpuppet account, and now you're posting to it using your "normal" account. Sometimes that happens, when you just lose track of who you're logged in as.
After wading through the apparent hatred in your post I have to conclude that you are positively threatened by the Zune. I mean, "brown turd" is clever and got old after a week. You do know it comes in three colors, correct?
Why do you feel threatened by the Zune if it's so likely to fail? Are you some sort of Apple astroturfer? And don't get me wrong, I own an iPod and a Shuffle and I love them, but let's call them like they are, shall we?
Oh, and the "M$" thing is fanciful. Really brings an aura of credibility to your post.
Not that it's any consolation, but you come across as a troll created by Microsoft (oh, "M$") to disrupt Slashdot and give the free software community a bad name. No one can be as close-minded and utterly petulant and ridiculous as you. Ergo, you are being paid to post.
So what you're saying is that it's really OK to publish and spread FUD about something because you dislike the idea that originated the FUD to begin with. So it's OK to lie about something you don't like because, well, you don't like it to begin with.
No... no, I don't. You "proved" that it's faster to do something with the GIMP that is completely unrelated to the OP's point. Did you have something else to add?
Interestingly enough, this does not involve "M$", and IBM is the world's largest patent holder. Microsoft has never used a patent offensively in the legal arena, on the contrary, patents have liberally been used against them to the tune of billions of dollars of losses. Perens' mention of the company founded by an ex-Microsoft executive serves only to introduce Microsoft into a discussion in which they have no stake whatsoever, but then it was also Perens who had that pitiful attempt to tie Jack Abramoff back to Bill Gates, which obviously crashed and burned.
Looking for the "M$" angle here is nothing but the usual FUD.
Here's an idea: Don't use it. If it bothers you enough to fly off the handle with your "M$" and "Windoze" conspiracy theories, then don't use it. Don't. It's that simple. I fail to see where the "bad faith" is here.
According to the article you linked to, was caused by a divide by zero exception on a database. It escapes me as to what that has anything to do with the OS, but whatever. Interestingly enough, this story was widely reported with no technical backing or reliable detail as to why the particular system had failed. See this.
If using NT was such a disaster for the US Navy, surely you can point us to evidence that this was not a one-time occurence. So let's have it. Let's see some links and research that the US Navy is "shut down" by "closed source junk". There have been at least three major military operations that involved the Navy since 1998, so surely you can find more up to date "proof" of your claims.
Otherwise, I'd suggest you stop lowering the Free Software community to the level of Microsoft, spewing baseless and ridiculous FUD ever time you get a chance. This "evangelizing" of yours that compares the Gestapo and the Chinese secret police with Microsoft helps no one.
Of all the 200+ posts in this article, yours are the only ones who mention Microsoft at all. Are you that far gone that you can sit there and type this crap with a straight face? What exactly do you gain with these hyperbolic offtopic comparisons and stupid, childish "M$" bashing?
Oh wow, those images definitely look very legit, and we all know Rotten.com is a veritable clearinghouse for hard-hitting, well researched, quality investigative journalism.
This really perks up whatever is left of your credibility. Good work!
I would not be surprised if it was part of a M$ smear campaign
Perhaps you would like to provide some proof of this? Otherwise I'd suggest you keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. You've been down this road before and it didn't go well then, either.

Are you really suggesting this is Microsoft's fault?

Let me know when you're done going over each line of code. Because you will do that, right? Otherwise, what's the point?

I guess that's a really bad deal for you.
That's really great.

Anything else?
hi twitter. I was just wondering if you were going to reply to the other person. I think his comment deserves a response. Thanks.

The comment addressed the lack of value in the article, not the lack of value in a Wiki.

Again, the comment addressed the lack of value in the article. You do understand that, yes?
Also, we were wondering if you were going to reply to these replies.
Thanks.

twitter, please respond - why don't you comment on this link as well? Thanks.

Oh, that's funny. Are you implying that he's a troll? Wow, if that's the case then what does that make you?

Wow, looks like you have all this figured out.
twitter, are you going to reply to this soon?
twitter, we were wondering if you were planning on replying to this. Thanks.
