I've been banned because I'm against the mindless m$/Gates bootlicking. Nice. How do you feel as a person? Can you sleep? Don't you think that your shitty rules just create a hivemind? Nevermind, HN is full with retards who think they're geniuses.

Btw, you're quite famous for being a shitty moderator. No doubt you're part of HN's problem: you're just a shill who tries to keep the bubble intact.

That child abuse thing wasn't that common at all and don't act like today's people care about their kids more. You can see serious child abuse in the poorer parts of the society every day.

Yes huge role: but not a good one.

> Microsoft got so incredibly many things right

Like the FUD, EEE and the rest of the nasty stuff? Ms gets too much positive credit for all the bad things it has done.

So, not microsoft then. Which's the one you're implicitly promoting right now.

This means you're not immune to PR. Sorry, but the world doesn't work like that. Ms constantly says how it'll change the world for the better and look at the software industry. Support those who don't do evil things to get rich, how about that?
