Teh f|_|nny 7|-|ing i5, 5c077 c4n'7 |234d 7|-|i5, but I bet most of you true PC-lovers can. Knowing how to read �leet-speak� � or even knowing what it is � shows the very start of the division of the computer world and the undeniable superiority of the PC.
Everyone is familiar with those "other" computers. They come in a variety of colors � gray and white � and have some fruit symbol on them: the Macintosh � the bane of the computer world.
Apple Computer and all 3 percent of its market share are giving the other 97 percent of the computer world a bad name.
[�]
Most Mac users only do the most basic of tasks. This isn�t their fault; it�s the computer itself. Try doing anything useful with your Mac, like programming a class project or creating a Web site.
I hope you have plenty of time and money on your hands, because you'll either have to buy new software or find a free program that won't work.

Why do people bother posting these troll articles?

Because it's interesting to know of other peoples' opinion.

It sure is, but not when the automatic response is what has already been posted.
Might as well just become a mouse and touch the electric current thinking it's a piece of cheese again and again forever until the end of time.

His article does not warrant a reply as it is merely fluff to infuriate Mac users. Ignore him.

CD Hanks, you're probably the worst MacNN member there is, you have no self control, like a child you lash out whenever somebody responds to your posts (its a good thing that so few do respond to you). Like a monkey, you chuck your feces at everything to get attention, even at things that aren't threatening you. My reply to your post was merely an agreement that this thread is indeed a +1 thread, but you in your quick temper and limited mental capacity, thought I was insulting you.

I hope you never get to realise why that is such a dumb thoughtless thing to say

Given everyone here, I think that statement goes way past me.

Damn straight, that one still makes people laugh, including myself.
edit: Male G-Spot stimulator, please. If you guys will throw fits when ever someone refers to a "Mac" as a "PC", then atleast give me this much.
edit 2: Come to think of it, ONLY YOU WOULD BRING THAT UP.

Not if the article is from a troll. If it was an article with a valid point, I don't think you would see such anger.

Most people and their opinion are just background noise. But this guy here looks like such a huge loser in life that it becomes worthwhile to note his existence just to mock and ridicule him.
His portrait becomes a punch line without need of explanation. When people like him speak others snicker at the thought of him even taking himself seriously. His opinion doesn�t command any respect. His life and being doesn�t matter. So what would lead you to believe anyone would give two shits what he has to say?
Ugly, fat, and balding at 21?
Please speak to us about 97% of any demographic giving something a bad name.

Captain Superior has spoken. We now need no further comment, as the definitive word has been proclaimed.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Why? Because he, and you, made a judgement about someone based on their picture, and you need to feel better about yourself, so you can justify putting someone else down?

Awww Karl, you need to stop getting so excited about things like this at your age. You might have a stroke or something. Just because you happen to fit a similar description as the Kansas guy doesn�t mean I was talking about you.
I am sure your opinion matters a great deal under the right circumstances. Such as a thread about gapping a sparkplug or fixing an alternator.
Anyway, your self-esteem bit is getting old. Why not just link to one of the other dozen times you�ve tried to use it here with absolutely no effectiveness whatsoever.

No, because the visual description of him was correct. The uneducated story that the guy wrote confirmed the rest of it.

You know, now that I think about it, you're absolutely right. You're doing a fine enough job on your own, to the point that others have noticed it as well.
Don't worry about me having a stroke, though. I've forgotten more in the forty years since high school than you've ever heard of, and I'm still going quite well, but thanks for your concern.

Why do people always say this like it's supposed to sound like a good thing to be leaking brain cells so rapidly?

Judging by the URL (didn't click the link), looks like some college kid's attempt to get a rise out of Mac users on campus because he's too poor to own an iPod.
