    Re: shutup mike

    Um... sorry. I don't actually think there was any Microsoft bashing in that post actually. Just a lame little joke. And what whining are you talking about? We've been having lots of great discussions about Napster. I don't remember any whining on Techdirt...
    
    Besides, don't you think that "Shutup Mike" is a little on the harsh side?

    there'll be no shushing around here

    techdirt works best when people with different viewpoints and intelligent ideas contribute worthy posts and comments. try some constructive critism or better yet, find some interesting articles for the rest of us to read and add your insight. otherwise, your post adds as little value to the rest of us, as the article apparently does to you.

  Micro$oft bashing

  It would have looked like this.
  
  Now we know what happens to the code from the micro$oft campus that leaks out of the bit bucket and into the earth. It makes the planet itself unstable.

    Mr. Spaz, mind your language! Nobody is whining here. And nobody wants to read your dump comments.

      Actually, the quake has been renamed Microsoft Earthquake XP.

    MORE Micro$oft bashing

    Just so you'd know what M$ bashing looks like....

    hat appeared at, appropriately enough,
    MSNBC; while the story has since been updated with newer information, it originally
    included the following entertaining little snippet: "Screams erupted at a nearby hotel,
    where Microsoft founder Bill Gates was addressing an education and technology
    conference. He was whisked away as his audience bolted for the exists. Some
    audience members were knocked down by others trying to get out." To which we'd like
    to append: "And then the earthquake hit." Ba-dum ching! Tip your waitstaff!
    
    But was the earthquake's timing just a coincidence, or was it actually prompted by
    Bill's Windows demo? When asked to comment, God reportedly issued the following
    statement: "Missed him by that much."

  Look Closer...

  If you look closely at the stage (an LCD screen -- like a laptop -- is best) you can just make out a well-dressed individual standing at the front of the stage. When the shaking starts, he looks around, then calmly (and slowly) walks backstage as ceiling tiles and lights start to fall around him. That's most likely Gates.
