These kinds of claims make it all the more pathetic that the only users to ever have difficulty connecting to my wifi network had an iPod Touch and OS X 10.[4567]. In the end I had to disable WPA2 to allow the Macbook to connect - Windows XP caused no such grief.

I propose that they should be killed. As in literally. Drag Chris Dodd out onto the street and put a bullet through his thick, cocaine-lined skull as their corporate headquarters goes down in flames with everyone inside.

They won't stop until everything we (the entire world) say or do is illegal, so we might as well jump the queue. And besides, murder carries a lighter jail sentence than copying audio files in America. This is the better way out.

It's an ostrich problem.

It's nice that a handful of ISPs like Comcast have a clue (they even "get" open source), but 99% of others are too stupid to understand IPv4 is a sinking ship. Mine still does installations using bottom-dollar trash where the firmware's crippled by design -- it'll be in a landfill before it ever supports IPv6. They just wasted a fortune shipping those boxes out a year ago to every single one of their existing users.

I wonder if Firefox will live beyond 9.0. Neither Netscape nor AOL did.

They can't be any more idiotic than the unremovable sourceforge.net ad currently hogging screen space on Slashdot's front page and trying to push Windows software at me. (And yes, I have the "Ads Disabled" box checked)

Yeah, so far Valve's credit card database has been stolen, but EA customers are the ones getting money stolen from their bank accounts.

An ARM platform fast enough to run Windows Mobile!

Yeah... even something as brain-dead as Windows 2000 supports multiple IPv4 assignment.

I can count on one finger how many photos I've printed in the past year. Then again, the only printer I have access to is a Kodak - it only prints 2MB images from the SD card reader, no Linux driver, and the Windows driver crashes halfway through the bloated .NET installer/ad-viewer.

Yeah, it's hard to stay "anonymous" when his stilted writing style sticks out like a baboon's arse.

They do? Well it's about time they switched to a more stable system.

Rendering precompiled bitmap data to screen.

That's a very bullshit definition of "parse fonts" you have there, MS apologist.

A mid-range GPU pulls about 10 gigaflops. This is a million times that.

They go "PW PW PW!"

Vimscript. Ewww. I know it takes backward compatibility seriously, but what I'd give for PCRE and syntax highlighting that didn't suck my netbook's CPU dry...
