A tech analyst who doesn't know the difference
between flash and Flash qualifies as a WTF under the "gross
incompetence" category. This guy has been writing for years, for
people like CNET and Z-D, it is astonishing that he can make such a
fundamental category error.
And you don't think it's
possible this was a mistake made later on by an editor who was prepping
the article for publishing?
Nope,
I don't think it's possible that's how it happened. That was the
main substantial content of the article, not just some throwaway
comment in a sidebar.

See, CNN isn't your personal blog
because 1) the posts aren't made directly by the authors and 2) people
actually read it.
I like the way you employ utterly irrelevant red herrings in debate.
Nah, wait a minute, I'm lying. I don't admire it at all.

@DaveK said:Wow, and there
was me thinking how morb's pedo-laming ways were pretty damn tired even
on usenet ten years ago.
Wow, you must some kind of wizard, having using the Internet in 1998.
You missed the point:
I've gotten some new material since then.

Oh
crap, I didn't notice his account was registered in 2006! We were
such fools to think we could call him an idiot -- no one who has been
here for 2 years could possibly be a dipshit! Woe is us!
You
missed the point. It was MPS who claimed some kind of sense of
authority by being a "regular". Such claims are stupid to make to
someone who qualifies just as much as you do. Duh!

Hey, I'm not insulting you for not posting more frequently. In fact, I don't think anyone
here thinks you don't post enough. Besides, we understand that
you're only going to post from the public library when you're there for
your monthly sink-bath.
[/quote]Hey, you almost made a joke there! Keep going, you'll get it sooner or later!

that you have a hard time detecting humour.
My
knee was aching early this morning and now here you are! I'd say
I'm pretty good at detecting impending, humorous situations.

only you could create them too! But like I said before, you
really will need some new material before that happens.

user="DaveK"]You oscillate wildly between po-faced FAQ-thumper and
foul-mouthed flame warrior, which is indicative of your tendency to see
the joke much better when it's you dishing it out than when it's anyone
else.
Really, why in the fuck are you still posting
here?
[/quote]What, like there's some special reason why you're doing it? Hah!
@morbiuswilters said:
You threw some tantrum because I "didn't get" the "joke",
even though I was the one who posted the actual fucking quote so
everyone else could read it.
Oh, don't evade the issue. I didn't "throw a tantrum", I said the OP
was
a WTF despite your attitude of pretence to not get it and that your
mugging was baseless self-aggrandisement. Do you remember the
words "I figured it was, but there wasn't any hint"? There was
plenty of hint and no need for it for anyone actually in posession of
clue one; I don't actually believe you are fatally clueless, therefore
I believe you were faking your so-called non-comprehension.
¿Claro?

Thinking back, I don't think I've
ever seen anything useful come out of your mouth. In fact, I bet
if we asked anyone who has ever known you they would say you're a
dead-weight, worthless sack of shit.
What odds you offering? I'll clean you out!
