| schestowitz | The troll's aim is to destory techrights | Sep 08 19:21 |
| schestowitz | He makes it very clear | Sep 08 19:21 |
| schestowitz | He has a site dedicated to attacking our site | Sep 08 19:22 |
| schestowitz | and he helps people who knowingly libel us and threten me | Sep 08 19:22 |
| schestowitz | So I have no sympathy for that disgusting cretin | Sep 08 19:22 |
| schestowitz | ender_2600: they advertise the brand | Sep 08 19:23 |
| schestowitz | And it's not like we have flying shoes now | Sep 08 19:23 |
| schestowitz | Self-tying lacrs could be done ages ago | Sep 08 19:23 |
| schestowitz | Maybe not at consumerism/mass production level | Sep 08 19:23 |
| schestowitz | I don't tie my l;aces | Sep 08 19:23 |
| schestowitz | my work shoes have none | Sep 08 19:23 |
| schestowitz | And my sneakers I can put on by force, as do many people | Sep 08 19:24 |
| schestowitz | It's a gimmock, no matter what name Nike gives it | Sep 08 19:24 |
| schestowitz | Remember Nike Air? | Sep 08 19:24 |
| schestowitz | All those silly "air" gimmicks? | Sep 08 19:24 |
| schestowitz | Look!! My shows have holes inside them!! | Sep 08 19:24 |
| schestowitz | They try to promote this as 'health' aspect | Sep 08 19:24 |
| ender_2600 | Nike was the brand of shoes in the movie | Sep 08 19:55 |
| ender_2600 | not too surprising that they decided to actually make it | Sep 08 19:55 |
| ender_2600 | flying shoes? | Sep 08 19:55 |
| ender_2600 | what the hell are you talking about | Sep 08 19:56 |
| ender_2600 | do you hate brands for some reason? | Sep 08 19:56 |
| ender_2600 | generic shoes pay sweatshops even less | Sep 08 19:56 |
| MinceR | i prefer lacing manually -- it's more reliable | Sep 08 19:57 |
| MinceR | or rather, tying | Sep 08 19:57 |
| MinceR | lacing can be done once and they tend to do it well by default :> | Sep 08 19:57 |
| ender_2600 | you guys just hate stuff if a company wants to make money off of it | Sep 08 19:57 |
| MinceR | i don't | Sep 08 19:57 |
| MinceR | i used nike shoes today | Sep 08 19:57 |
| ender_2600 | well maybe just roy then | Sep 08 19:58 |
| MinceR | or maybe you just don't have a clue | Sep 08 19:58 |
| MinceR | or you're pretending because you want a flame war again | Sep 08 19:58 |
| ender_2600 | i've seen him attack branding all the time | Sep 08 19:59 |
| ender_2600 | he was accusing slashdot of advertising for nike when it was simply showing off technology | Sep 08 20:00 |
| ender_2600 | just like when he accused IBM and Jeopardy of advertising | Sep 08 20:00 |
| MinceR | and of course it could only be because of branding | Sep 08 20:01 |
| ender_2600 | yes, an IBM branded AI | Sep 08 20:02 |
| ender_2600 | he might not have bitched if it was an AI from a non profit organization | Sep 08 20:02 |
| MinceR | speculation | Sep 08 20:02 |
| ender_2600 | let me look up what roy wrote | Sep 08 20:02 |
| MinceR | afaik IBM has its history of shady stuff | Sep 08 20:02 |
| MinceR | (not nearly so shady as m$, of course...) | Sep 08 20:02 |
| ender_2600 | right, it got sued by the US government and won via attrition | Sep 08 20:07 |
| ender_2600 | they also provided Nazi's with calculators | Sep 08 20:08 |
