With all that talking about Apple using child workers in China, who is supporting that kind of company?

Me. Because :
1) If you stop buying stuff made by poor china children, you have a fairly small life expectancy
2) That's called propaganda. Did you know that windows was the one who invented the iConcept? Simply, the company said to the researching branch it wouldn't work, so they sold it to apple. I'll support Apple for being much more efficiet than windows.

A message to all of the "people" who keep responding to Angelus's trolls:
You are proving that he (she) is smarter than you

I find myself actually liking this person a lot! That's not sarcasm btw.
This guy is even getting reactions out of the admin : )
Keep up da good work my man.

Why do you go and support/encourage the troll?

Like watches over like?

In more pressing news, and utterly unrelated, we could rather do with a purge of spambots. There seem to be a lot of similar 0 posts accounts with links in their signatures - I'm quite worried they could all start posting some time and lay waste to the forums... Perhaps all accounts with 0 posts should be e-mailed and deleted if they don't respond within a certain timeframe? Seems like the entry question for the forum should be changed too since the code has been cracked (and thus will be leaked to numerous more bots).

I'm posting this here in the hope that TB actually notices

> Why do you go and support/encourage the troll?

I already spelled that out : )

I even pointed out to everyone that he only has a
few posts in this forum, and they are almost all,
um, kinda contraversial. Yet he still continues to
get reactions out of everyone. It's like people think
they owe him explainations, or feel like it is their
duty to correct his wrongheaded thoughts. I think
that's hilarious.

It's like someone saying "Hey everybody, there is a
bee hive here, don't step on it." Then they hang a
sign over the hive saying "DON'T STEP HERE, YOU
WILL ANGER THE BEES!" Finaly, they set a recording
on autorepeat, blaring "GO AROUND THIS BEEHIVE!"
So they travel along their merry way, thinking all is
safe for bees and man alike. From the distance they
hear "Arrrgh! Stupid dees! How could I have known!?"
Then they hear frustrated grumbling about the bees,
threats to exterminate the bees, and curses on the bees'
ancestors and descendants for years to come.

Comedy just doesn't come better than that

EDIT: at least the 'javascriptbank' bot tries to be useful : )

I have no clue who this guy is to begin with. Am I supposed to keep track of usernames of "known" trolls so I know to ignore them later?

Works more like this:

Poster1 - I think TB iz a big fart head! Give uz da zource!

Poster2 - Hey everybody, I just found a bug in the
keybindings file. It says:

> # \Mx -- press the control key and some key x (for letters use the the lowercase letter)
> # \Cx -- press the control key and some key x

but it should say

# \Mx -- press the ALT key and some key x (for letters use the (only one 'the') lowercase letter)
# \Cx -- press the control key and some key x

See how much better that worked out

But doesn't encouraging him just make you like any
other, and if not, be even worse? It'd be like going and
annoying the bees in your bee hive example now and
then (maybe from a distance) so they'll go and sting
somebody. Though you might not be going in there,
you'd nonetheless be encouraging other people to do
it, or ensuring that "harm" comes to them?

Basically, like yelling "YEAH YOU KICKASS BEES STING THOSE FUCKERS! RIGHT ON!"
