Those guys are actually like that.
I listened for as long as I could take it.

All I can say is it is a lot like using Microsoft
Products ... unproductive and sprinkled with
profanity.

Much better content when they are writing.

meaning clarification
javajunkie@... 19th Jun 2009
we know "Bastard" can mean

1) disagreeable person
2) child born out of wedlock

I presume you mean #1 but is your use of the word "bastard" implying an less-than-favorable opinion on #2?

Given that #2 can be an issue with certain groups of rabbid conservatives, I would ask you to please make better word choices.

Happy Jason is not one of us
Richard Flude Updated - 20th Jun 2009
Listened to the first 30 seconds of the podcast. Drugs, alcohol and cheap
language. Jason better you stick with your own crowd. Unusual to be
attacking others from such a low position though.

Further confirmation of the ZDNet standard. Pathetic really.

I was wrong
Richard Flude Updated - 20th Jun 2009
I'm very sorry for my misunderstanding. I confused your podcast for the
offensive podcast and I wasn't willing to listen to it long enough to
uncover my error.

Listening to your podcast I could NOT have been more wrong. Not that I
agree with many of the positions presented but it was eloquently and
professionally done. Again I'm sorry.

Angry Mac bastard = lame, stupid, and fake
croberts 21st Jun 2009
Ra Ra for the angry mac guy. It takes true skill to sprinkle profanities into a blog for the sole purpose of manufacturing a lame web persona.

Give me a break. That bum needs a life, and anyone who follows that piece of crap blog needs a bigger one.
