It would appear the shroud of the dark side has fallen. ;-)

The war seems to have taken a tea break. It\'s interesting that when you are told you can continue fighting only do it in the corner, away from everyone, no one wants to continue fighting.
It\'s about the attention not the merits of the argument.

I\'ll fight with you...
what should we fight about?

Let\'s throw out a few ideas:
1) Zaurus Sucks *
2) PocketPC rulezzzzz. *
That should get us started.

Possesion of a PocketPC should be a criminal act / Ownership of a PocketPC is a sign of underlying stupidity.
Anyone slandering the Zaurus, should be loaded into a trebuchet and fired into the sea.
I\'ll fight anyone, I\'m on the darkside of the farce.. I mean the Force.
Bring it on...
LOL

Bring it on...
Oh yeah! Your Zaurus can\'t do PDA stuff 1/2 as well as my Ipaq! And it\'s too big! The iPaq fits fine in a shirt pocket. If you tried that with your Zaurus you\'d look like a big dork! People with big PDAs are covering up for something... And it\'s Microsoft, man! It\'s actually supported! There\'s tons of software available. There ain\'t jack shit for your Zaurus! Fidding with command lines and bogus tweaks and hacks - bah, who needs that! Ipaq rulez!!!!! Zaurus sucks donkey droppings!
-
You are right. I need a big PDA to distract people away from my big penis.
-
LOL!
You talk POO.. Microsoft make feature-bloated software with the stability of a jellyfish and all hardware that runs their stuff is an abomination and should be smashed at a public ceremony of cleansing. I condemn anyone who pays money into the pockets of Bill Gates, that evil oligarch. They either rip-off or buy out ideas, stifle competition and issue restrictive licenses, while accumulating the wealth of nations. Your ipaq is like the wind from my ass, worthless and it stinks. (ho!)
I\'ve still got a WinCE machine somewhere, I am going to smash it now with my \'Hammer of Corrective Justice\'*
I\'m telling my mum.. I ain\'t playing with you anymore...
;-) LOL!
BTW Zaurus rulez :twisted:

You better be talkin\' about your donkey, cuz that\'s all you\'re gonna whip!
Don\'t you know we kicked your British butts once and for all over 2 centuries ago? And now your prime minister is our president\'s bitch!

And might I add if we had not betin you, the European Union would not exist. As we saved you\'r asses during world war 2.

Yeah, I\'d fling that bastard Blair with a trebuchet too..

..we\'re the only friends the US has got at the moment, may I remind you it takes a crisis to find out who your friends really are, even if you are in the wrong..
Keep it on the Z, or..... not..
Upto you, but I\'ll point out that you would not exist without us over here. Who\'s language are you speaking? Mine. I hope you speak it more coherently than you write it. ;-) Let\'s keep nation bashing out of it, both our countries are in the shite at the moment and run by fundamentalist international war criminals. People will get offended, not me, I criticise and condemn my own far more viciously than an ill-informed foreigner ever could. ho!

You took a joke too far..

OTOH, what exactly do you expect from a thread titled \"Flame Wars, Episode I\"?
Just wondering whan does Episode II start?
JP
P.S. what does OTOH mean?
-
I\'m ready for it. I don\'t know about international politics, wars and all that crap that men in suits go on about, nonsense, I know about my Z. I know about crappy Microsoft.
I fight whenever... the Force is my ally...
OTOH means... ah sod it, I ain\'t tellin ya, on the other hand...

Somehow or another I managed to miss this thread. You guys crack me up I can\'t stop laughing.
But I\'ll put my 5600\'s up against your clamshells and 6000\'s and meet you all out by the flag pole. (old joke from work when we threatened to kick someone\'s backside)

Well I got an old Palm IIIc if you really feel the need, otherwise it does make a great paper weight
-
I\'m building my trebuchet in the back yard right now, I got a hankering to catapult myself some PDAs.
Palms and Clies first.
AND YES THAT INCLUDES THE UX50 WITH ITS LIT UP KEYBOARD!
:-)

I believe it\'s called a TabletPC. Has side effects like moronism and stupidism, plus it shrinks your tackle. ;-)
I got my medication via a dodgy import off the internet, keep your Viagra! My Sharp Zaurus C860 keeps me going all day and night ;-)
Wifi causes impotence.
Ko/Pi is crap (that\'s done it)

No!! Not the lit up keyboard! How will I ever see my keys again in the dark without making use of the LCD flashlight? :wink:

Let me know the range you get with the diffirnt pdas. It would be cool to know if the palms out fly the clies or if the clies out fly the palms.

Lynch movie? Interesting

Has the \"all clear\" sounded yet? Is it safe to come out of the shelter? Have the forces of darkness ceased to bombard us with cheap used PDAs?
Film at 11.
Lynch movie? Interesting

Haven\'t seen the miniseries. Was disappointed with the initial part of the film (talk, talk, talk) but once the action started it was pretty good.
Noticed an aweful LOT of people exiting the theater with very confused looks. They obviously had not read the book(s) before seeing the movie.
Hows the beast, BTW? <G>

This is the funniest shit I have seen in a while! A flame war that totally ignores the original \'perpertrator\', but instead, meanders into some really funny stuff. Thanx guys, I need a good chuckle today.
BTW, anyone with a Pocket PC, deserves it. The Z is much too complicated for them to operate, correctly.

Damn right! Obviously you are a wise man. That\'s exactly what I do now, when I see someone running \'bag-o-crap\' MS this or that, I smile, say \"mmmh yes\" with false sincerity and think to myself \"You deserve to run it\".
But not everyone has the ability to run a real system... PocketPC, MS Office, XP, finger painting, not being toilet-trained and playing in the sand - what is the real difference?
My trebuchet awaits....

Take a pocket PC, put some feathers on it, nail it to the floor of a bird cage, and then argue with someone about whether it is \"dead\" or not.

Apparently, I walked through the wrong door. I was looking for an argument but ended up with abuse!

Why, say on, stout fellow. Such a brilliant conversationalist should most definitely be encouraged rather than stifled! Vent that nasty old spleen. Why else call it flame war?
Lead on, McDuff, and cursed be he who cries first \'Hold! Enough!\'.

Sounds like one of the better, if not the best, uses for a Pocket PC (except for trebuchet fodder, that is). :twisted:

And isn\'t THAT the honest truth! Robin Williams says laughter is one of the few things our governements haven\'t figured out how to place taxes on yet.

Ahhhh, now you\'ve entered a domain of my expertise. Why settle for something wimpy like nyquil when there are so many alternative downers?
Although, if you are jaded and feeling bored, rather than a downer, I would prescribe a \"Hunter Thompson cocktail\" (purified extract of adolescent iguana pineal gland with a dash of scopolamine). Guaranteed NOT to be boring! :shock: ...... :idea: ......... 8)

All of the offensive posts were deleted (AFAIK)... at least the ones that I took care of were deleted. I don\'t have a log of the posts, but I do have a log of the usernames and IP addresses.
I can\'t remember specifically what the exact words of the post was that sent me over the edge (and made me change the permissions that day), but it was offensive to me... and I don\'t think I get offended easily.
Maybe I could find a South Park episode that could effectively encapsulate the scenario...
