"Use [...] the Internet, etc. to heighten the impression that the enemy is desperate, demoralized, defeated, [...] associated with mental deficiency, as in, "he believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny". Just keep rubbing it in, via the [...] newsgroups, [...] make the complete failure of the competition's technology part of the mythology of the computer industry."

Watch
this user account in Digg.com. As you can hopefully see:
- It's used to troll GNU/Linux topics
- It contains insidious messages (e.g. Resider murder)
- It uses my (warped) photos
- It's being used to harass me directly
People have complained a lot about Slashdot, especially recently. Digg is the same. There are several more examples like this
here (further down in the updates). About 4 such accounts got terminated before (the staff confirmed they were replications/abusive). As we pointed out the other day,
Microsoft hires agencies to do its trolling.

Who's supposed to use DX10.1 ? Nvidia still doesn't support it...That is a real FAILURE.
