I don't know .... for myself, I've never been over to the new forums,
and never expect to visit them. I realize that I'm missing a certain
amount of traffic, but I find that the community here is plenty large
enough to meet my needs; and I don't have to deal with the @$*! web
forum user interface.
Just because MS decided the world needs to change doesn't necessarily
mean that it should.
This is the same sentiment that made me want to sue Cox for killing
their news servers (they made them video on demand servers, the greedy
bastards) It isn't like they are low on dough and it isn't like Usenet
New servers are difficult to maintain when you have that kind of cash
behind you.
The bastards advertised "Full Internet Access".
That term used to have a real meaning.
They should suffer a class action suit from everyone that used their
service for cutting away a huge portion of it. Instead, the idiots
'played it off' as if it was some kind of upgrade to their systems.
They get hundreds of millions of dollars every month, and they can't
afford to keep their servers up? The severs that our "Full Internet
Access" subscription fee dollar paid for?
They better hope I don't file before the deadline is up.
Usenet is NOT that hard to keep running. And hell, MS only carried
their own groups anyway. My friggin' old 386 could push that workload.
Whatever brainiac dope that got it in his head to kill off Usenet, that
has now caused other providers to begin following suit, should be brought
to the public square for a stoning... and his little dogs too.
Some cell phone company exec. Real cute... let them monopoly dope just
have the whole world... all paid for by our wallets.
Folks that used to complain about and hate MS were idiots. I always
contended that, and always told them that. I use MS products, and Linux
and open products, and I know what computing is, and that BOTH are
'robust', so I am NOT some follow the flock loyalist to ANY platform OS
code block, ad infinitum.
The little chips toggle. WE have made them toggle faster and faster
over the years, so what we use to make them toggle and control how they
toggle really doesn't matter much as both perform reasonably for whomever
decided to use it for that task.
As to which has thus far done more for the world, that goes the MS as
a hundred thousand companies around the world sprung up as a result of
handling one's business better using computers.
Rah Rah Rah for computers. Now stop sucking everyone dry, world.
Reduce gas and electric prices if you want to boost the economy!
STOP TAXING Insurance premiums at nearly 50% (we should ALL be mad
about that one).
STOP sending out Johnny Law to screw us over on the streets just
because you bastards can't work within a budget. The LAST thing this
nation needs to be is a PIGGERY NATION!
OOOPS! Too late for that one too.
Tell the US Governemnt AND the FDA to stick their goddamned archaic
Schedule 1 LIE up their asses.
Cannabis DOES have medicinal benefit, therefore CANNOT even be on
Schedule 1!
Cannabis seed is second only to Soy in protein content. It is also
packed full of Omega 3s Way more than anything else!
Hemp fiber is grown in thousand acre crops with no flowers, just for
the fiber stalks, the strongest vegetable fiber known to man (IIRC)
They make "particle board" from it that has a far better R factor than
pine chip based particle board.
Hemp grows one right next to the other, and it hoes NOT deplete the
soil (like tobacco does). Hemp grow two feet per month, Pine grows two
feet per year.
They want their money engine to remain in place. I think it is time
the people of this nation demanded redress.
The FDA can shape up or ship out. No more goddamned lies to keep their
DEA screw the citizenry money engine going.
Obama must resign. He committed felony perjury the day he claimed to
not know who Ayers was (he was still under oath as a Senator).
YOU ALL HAD BLINDERS ON! TAKE 'EM OFF!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
