I dunno. That lever seems a little too intuitive for a Windows machine.

Yeah , windows is a great big toilet and all thier shit should be flushed.Well good thing we have Paul Graham around to decide what kind of excrement needs flushing. Probably some of those unhappy caged idiots that Paul doesn't have is his lavender smelling claws into. I suppose Paul's toilet flushes pure roses. Get over yourelf man.

I suppose you are aware of the Fry's story, where a guy goes into a local Fry's store, picks up a Philips brand nose hair trimmer that they have at the checkout, and asks if it is compatible with Windows XP? The clerk picks it up, no doubt scanning for the sticker or a printed logo, then hands it back and shrugs his shoulders.

Immature. Scatological humor forces us into "DH0".

That's a pretty low blow. I expected better from pg, especially after the disagreement hierarchy essay. Go ahead and criticize Windows if you want, but do so in an intelligent manner.

  I agree. While I don't like Windows very much, I'd expect a criticism to at least be mature, or clever even. However, those stickers are annoying though and should be dealt with accordingly. Perhaps if we all mail the stickers to BG's private residence in Redmond (or wherever) along with notes asking that they not be included anymore?

    "While I don't like Windows very much, I'd expect a criticism to at least be mature, or clever even." It's not criticism, it's mocking.

  "I expected better from pg, especially after the disagreement hierarchy essay." Well, that was posted way before the DH essay.
