If Chrome OS fails on netbooks it will just make OEMs even more hesitant to use a Linux-based OS instead of Windows. Google should instead build upon its already successful Android platform and provide a system that offers local applications."

I think I will take my advice on Linux and Netbooks from an "independent .Net developer".
NOT.
Why was this "news" even posted? Slashdot editor fail.

Well, I for one like this new egalitarian Slashdot that will publish any random moonbat's frothy diatribe purely in order to troll us into dissecting it.
We bite every time, but isn't that how we like it? Be honest now, would you really want to read a cogently argued article that garnered nothing but "Yup" and "Seems right" responses?

Now I'm understanding of not RTFA, but not reading your fucking parent post is a bit much I think.

Am I a bad person for knowing, before clicking that link, that goatkcd is where they replace the last panel of xkcd with the goatse.cx guy? And that I think that's funnier than xkcd itself?
However, I think http://xkcdexplained.com/ [xkcdexplained.com] is funnier than both of them.

Thanks, but I knew that already, silly. You might want to change the combination on your luggage while you're at it. ;P

Gee so Chrome OS is for kids?
GP said ChromeOS is the toaster of computers. You're saying that there's no use for a toaster if you have a toaster oven. Do you normally use one to make toast? Especially if you already have a toaster?
I'm just glad the discussion isn't toaster vs regular oven anymore. Well, in this thread, at least.

It is actually kinda funny, though I'm disappointed at the lack of image hover punchline.
