		<description>Roy, I would suggest you set up the thread to hide the comments with a rating less than -2. Such posts could have a link next to them so one can open them if one so desires. 

Thank you.</description>

		<description>Well, people actually did say things like that about Intel recently.  They said it was good that Intel&#039;s losses were not bigger and claimed that it signaled an economic turn around.  This fueled a couple of weeks of stock market pumping as housewives ventured to stick more of their money into &lt;a href=&quot;http://slashdot.org/~twitter/journal/213707&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;black holes like M$&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Microsoft has reported spectacular results for the April to June quarter, say completely independent tech journalists.

&quot;With profits down by almost a third,&quot; said Rob Enderle, &quot;Microsoft is absolutely poised to make a brilliant recovery next quarter. Windows 7, man!&quot;

Revenue came in at $13.1 billion, down 17% from the same quarter last year. Net profit on this revenue was $3.1 billion, down 29% from a year earlier. Microsoft shares fell 7% in after-hours trading.

&quot;Wall Street analysts claim these numbers don&#039;t match their expectations,&quot; said Mary Jo Foley. &quot;What do they know about business? They should be &lt;i&gt;grateful&lt;/i&gt; that Microsoft made their so-called numbers twenty-two years running, and not whine because they haven&#039;t made any of them in the last year. It&#039;s their &lt;i&gt;patriotic duty&lt;/i&gt; to raise Microsoft&#039;s stock price. Wall Street are a pack of un-American communists.&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m certain he&#039;s going to appreciate your email, by the way.

He really &lt;I&gt;loves&lt;/i&gt; it when people &lt;I&gt;instruct&lt;/i&gt; him.

本当だよ！Linusさんはそれが大好きだよ。君はそれを信じられない！君はLinusさんととてもいい友達になるだろう。君は若すぎる日本人の女の子が大好きだろう、ね？倒錯者。</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;Linus fails to understand the Microsoft threat to Linux...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

So.

I see.

Mr. Wakizashi is prepared to &lt;I&gt;explain &lt;/i&gt; to Linus just how &lt;I&gt;confused &lt;/i&gt;he is about these matters, is that right? His email address isn&#039;t hard to find, maybe you ought to &lt;I&gt;write him&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;I&gt;tell him.&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;d strongly suggest that you select some sort of &lt;I&gt;sobriquet &lt;/i&gt;which doesn&#039;t have quite so effulgent an aura of, shall we say, a bit of a &lt;I&gt;Nihon-mono fetish, &lt;/i&gt;hm?

I personally suspect that Linus might possibly take such advice coming from a &quot;Diamond Wakizashi&quot; with something less that the &lt;I&gt;full seriousness &lt;/i&gt;it so &lt;I&gt;clearly&lt;/i&gt; deserves. Try something a bit more pedestrian, something like, oh...&lt;I&gt;Mark Fink&lt;/i&gt;, say.

&lt;I&gt;I &lt;/i&gt;just dropped him a line to &lt;I&gt;thank &lt;/i&gt;him for calling you folks what you &lt;I&gt;are&lt;/I&gt;: extremists; haters.</description>

		<description>&quot;The way Roy&#039;s desperately rushing stories on Boycott Novell out...&quot;

Hey, Max, Linus says that hating Microsoft is &quot;a disease&quot;; he won&#039;t refer to what he does as &quot;free software&quot; because he doesn&#039;t want to be linked to &quot;haters&quot; and &quot;extremists&quot;. I guess that makes him a definitive non-supporter of FOSS (although he&#039;s a strong supporter of OSS, like me...)

What do you think? Is Linus a Novell shill? He &lt;I&gt;does &lt;/i&gt;draw his pay from the Linux Foundation, and Novell &lt;I&gt;is &lt;/i&gt;a member.</description>

		<description>Linux is destroying Microsoft&#039;s margins, it&#039;s much more difficult for them to charge absurd prices for their garbage products. As the worldwide transition to superior open source products continues, Microsoft&#039;s problems will get even worse.

Also, Linus fails to understand the Microsoft threat to Linux, he should read this guide to GPL3 and change the Linux kernel license.

		<description>Are you laboring under the impression that Microsoft is liable to go out of business anytime in, say, the next decade? You know what this bad quarter means?

A &lt;I&gt;terrific &lt;/i&gt;year-over-year quarter next year, more than likely, and then you&#039;ll (I suppose) be weeping tears the size of cabbages...

I bet you watch a lot of &lt;I&gt;anime, &lt;/i&gt;doncha, Mr. Wakizashi...?

Did you hear that Linus thinks that folks who hate Microsoft the way you do have &quot;a disease&quot;?</description>
