Woah. Over reaction, dude. I never said Win7 didn't 'just work'. I said I got a BSOD recently. And I installed Linux on a different machine. That's a lot of hate you got stored up there. Glad you got some of it out. I'm not a microsoft hater. I just decided it wasn't for me anymore. I'm liking Linux a lot more than I did Windows 7. My preference, not yours. I don't push my OS on other people, I was just saying Windows still gives the BSOD. Great story though, bro.

lol 2010* I guess I shouldn't post on /. when I've been drinking... [gets back in his 'time traveling' phone booth]

Everyone always leaves out that it's voluntarily collected information when they're google-bashing. It's like these people have never even installed a google product, or they'd have noticed the opt-out checkbox. Right? And in addition to blasting it out over unencrypted wireless channels, don't forget twitter and facebook. There's a branch of market research that uses something like google realtime search to collect product/service opinions. Oh no don't talk about your opinions on Twitter! Companies will STEAL your OPINIONS! OH GOD! THE HORROR!

It's spelled Hallelujah, dude. Can't you read the hymnals you sing out of in church?

If I could mod you up, I would. Nicely done.

My last BSOD: Windows 7 Home Premium. October, 2011. And I had to reformat. It would not boot, even in safe mode. I installed Linux.

You know you can change the interface, right? I've got mine set to match my desktop.

Yes! My GPS constantly thinks I'm in South America or somewhere in Europe when I'm in the United States! Uhg! Directions: 1.) rent a canoe 2.) canoe across the pacific ocean...

I agree. Their brain wants confrontation. If they're ignored, they pump up their game and try again. When still ignored, they go elsewhere for their stimulation. The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them completely (or delete/hide their posts before they can provoke anyone). And people with the aggression-seeking brand of ADHD can seem perfectly sane face to face. For a time, anyway. Then you realize you've somehow entered an argument where you're both on the same side of an issue, yet it's unmistakably an argument.

I'm with that guy up there. I think this poll is biased. :)

But no, it's German.

First off, some hilarious comments. I laughed really hard at the trolls trolling this article about trolls (though TFA wasn't even about trolls, it was about people who are loud and have opinions). Second of all, have you guys ever met a troll in real life? They have ADHD like 90% of the time (Temporal Lobe ADD). Since TFA is plugging a psyc book: if you have any interest in actual science in Psychology check out Daniel Amen's book "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life". If you like pseudo science and half-baked Cognitive Behavioral methods buy the book from the article.
