Yeah, that's a really good point.
Look at the whole WMD in Iraq debacle.
Maybe someone with a little more clout than The Daily Show needs to be confronting these guys. Someone who can bring about actual consequences would be a start.
If the Whitehouse is putting more down in writing, on the Internet where it can easily be archived and searched through, will this lead to greater scrutiny from the public? Will they be more likely to be called on their backtracking?
Or, more likely, will they just make sure to never say anything of substance?
honestly it was full of cliche's(sic)
Yeah, so is Citizen Kane.
"The guy" also wants nothing to do with the film versions of anything he writes.
It could very well be that the finished film is closer to his original intentions, but 1) he will in all likelihood never find out and 2) I'm under the impression he would argue vehemently against that statement.
I just found your comment hilarious because he's been portrayed as very critical of film adaptations.
...the movie is probably closer to what the author originally wanted.
Okay, I need to see that again to be sure.
Yep. Still hilarious.
I'm annoyed because people are continually replying to one of the first >0 rated posts so that their comment is at the top.
Realistically, I'm not sure Slashdot can really do anything (Allow mods to move the comment so it's not a reply? That sounds like it could be trouble). The only reason I suggested it is because asking people to exercise self restraint is even more foolish. Just look at those guys who use the code tag over all their comments.
What the hell does your post have to do with the parent post?
I'm getting really tired of this type of thing. Slashdot should really fix their commenting system.
What the in hell are you talking about?
The original comment you replied to said this:
Bundling doesn't crearte market share?
Tell that to anyone who refers to the blue 'E' as "The Internet".
And then you ask: Why yes, there are some really ignorant people out there... and? What about them? Oh, that's it?
Well obviously the point is that there are several users who will use whatever you bundle with Windows and therefore bundling does create market share. The comment gives an example of a type of user who is affected by this bundling and who we've probably encountered personally. Where in the comment's two sentences did you miss his point?
Here's mine:
