    Angry man rants about phones

    Randall Ross is one of Ubuntu's "community managers." (What an odd title.) He is also, apparently, a real sourpuss. He's rage-writing a whole series on why smartphones aren't smart.
    • Reason #1: phones and cars are lethal.
    • Reason #2: bus passengers answer callers who ask "Where are you?"
    • Reason #3: phones still operate in cinemas.
    • Reason #4: people next to each other use phones.
    • Reason #5: butt-dialing happens.

    What a curmudgeon. Of course, in each post, he hints that Ubuntu Phone has the "potential" to solve each of these purported "problems," if only people would just do something about them. Commenters are calling bullshopt, correctly pointing out that some of his proposed "solutions" are draconian. If this is what "phone freedom" is all about, keep it far away from me.

    "Yes," this post is full of "air" quotes! "Deal" with it. LOL

    Well old friend.....

    YOU REALLY DO................invoke///////////////

    SEMINAL THINKING.....................................

    Soeminal: adj. Wikipedia:nothing except a seldom contributor who we cannot determine her or his bias.
    Just because a british band sang about him doesn't mean that the man has any context whatsoever.

    THE PROBLEM.....................with "the media savvy" is..........that they have A TRUMPET...............to sound their "idea".

    I was at Sears tonight.........."paying my bill"........I do that to maintain some small connexion with a person as opposed to a "don't know what"....

    And in that "big evil box store" were..........MANY........."up and coming" "African Americans"........buying "stuff" for themselves AND their kids.....

    I did not "ask" ......I merely "observed"............

    There are many "angry people"..........who "rant about CRAP"..........and you............and .........I.........."read their stuff"............

    But..........."the rest of the people"...........just get along with their lives............

    AND ...............JUST WHO IS IT.................

    JUST WHO IS IT.................

    that propells a "captitalistic" society?

    The African American women and men........the "American" women and men..........who purchase stuff at Sears............


    The Angry Rants about phones.........may.................."MAY" propel Cannonical to do something.........

    From the Isle of Mann......................

    or not............

    But the African American couple...........and the "white couple"............in Sears...............

    Maybe they are REALLY more important than the "curmudgeon".........and guess what.....................his "sthick" may or may not be important ten years from now...........

    I........personally think............that the people in line in front of me........

    would probably purchase that phone if it was available...........

    YA GOTTA REMEMBER BLACK FRIDAY...........

    BUT...........BUT...........the women and men are wearing "man purses"...........

    LINUX POWERED................to hook into "the cash register".....

    IF................IF

    AS BILL GATES SAID..............In his seminal book...........

    "It does the job".

    just my thoughts of little worth smoke

    NOTE NOTE NOTE............."did the curmodgeon cause the effect".............I HAVE NO FU#$%^G clue...................it is the bird in the lower half of the globe frilling its feathers and ten years later Usama Bin Laden wipes his "A^^" with Northern Tissue.........or.............
    COMMANDS his college buds to fly planes into the New YAWK towers.,...
    or...........order pizza out........with no pork.........duuhhh

    AND YESSS..........I QUITE REALIZE THAT PROBABLY ONLY STARWOLF will understand what I posted....

    But then.........as R. Buckminster Fuller once opined...........art and science are merely the two sides of the same coin.........

    I LUVE THE WALLYS!! lol

      Mr. Ross is a village idiot ( ubuntu seems to be a lightning rod for these type of evangelists ).

          As for number 2, this has been the case ever since bus riding folks got hold of phones. Where I live and ride the bus, I seldom here this, and the number of "dumb" phones without any location capabilities are still extremely common.

          I ignored his other posts (until now, damn you Steve! ) after the rubbish in the first one.


          An interesting addition to this, which is I think appropriate, if you believe it is actually true. Taco Bell has a way to fix this issue though

                    Actually, you can post anywhere in here, just no links until after first post
                    Or I should say nothing that the sometimes daft wysiwyg text editor thinks is a link

                      Actually, the Vulcan Death Grip is a ficticious technique, used to fool some Romulans into believing Kirk was dead.

                          Yes, and I one-upped you on the nerd quotient by linking to Memory Alpha, the One True Authority for all things Star Trek. Wikipedia? Eh, that's for commoners
