There are few people I have *less* respect for than this asshat. THE rule of nix systems is: create software that does one thing but does it perfectly. Instead, he created malware and a virus and a system that's a solution searching for a problem. Just asinine from stem to stern.

I tried using the Clipper Tool once when I first got Vista. I have never used it again. When do you want just a tiny piece of a window? Not very often. Alt-PrtScn works just fine TYVM.

Based on this information, I'm officially switching. The first time I came across an advertisement rather than a failed DNS lookup I was not happy. It's incredibly annoying.

In other news, a handful of well known FOSS projects are reported to have been given an incredible amount of money. Apparently the sum total of the donations is remarkably close to equaling Microsoft's cash reserves. Microsoft, however, has not commented on this claim.

"Good enough" is the enemy of great.

Wow, there are games that require you to have a certain number of friends? That explains a lot... I kept wondering why people that I didn't even know - friends of friends - persisted in attempting to friend me. What an idiotic system. I can't believe facebook allows that crap... wait, yes I can, they don't care.

Who cares!? It's the First of May!

Huh! I should think that you Jedi would have more respect for the difference between knowledge and... heh heh heh... wisdom.

Hmm, this is an interesting concept. However, to carry it to its natural extreme.... what then would we do with Microsoft? I've wasted hundreds of hours of my life trying to fix their crap.

This is true, at least he managed to RTFM.

What's this MTV that you speak of? Are you talking about that channel that only makes trashy reality shows for teens and drunk college kids?

Maybe the astroturfing garbage will finally stop... or at least be more obvious.

Receiving a text is very different than sending one. I'll read a text or a brief email while I'm driving. It's not much different from looking down at your stereo. Actually composing a text requires that you focus both on what you want to say and hitting the proper buttons to say it.

The money from all those firings is never passed down to the devs either. It always goes up the chain.

That sounds better to me too. Punishing these people is a start but the reality is we need to do a better job of educating consumers. As long as there are suckers there will be people trying to scam them.
