h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You know, I was proved how right I was to make this club by the very act of making it. The computer I was working on was too slow as it was, and Internet Exploder was being an utter jerk about letting me put this in the Guide. Then, it put it in the Guide twice!!! Well, anyway, at least it's here, so join up already, ok?

Wow.. this place is looking quite respectable... your HTML skills are impressive, young Jedi...

I will volunteer to help this worthy cause, and I shall vow to assist this endeavor as the Chief of Explosives Procurement.

No sooner said than done, and thank you very much for the compliment. Even though my skills are a bit rustier than I'd like...
Interesting choice of rank. I like it. You're MUCH more creative than me.

Copious quantities of alcohol will do that for you...

I see you've wandered into the Ask H2G2 forum about Gates. Don't be discouraged by the negativity... those people who started that forum were all sympathizers. Anyone who would say that Winbloze is the best operating system around has very little knowledge or experience with computing.

Many thanks, cousin--I couldn't believe exactly HOW negative their response was! I'm staying out of that one from now on. I agree with...well, I don't remember who it was, and it was way at the beginning...but the section IS called "Ask H2G2" not "Rant on H2G2". Those kinds of arguments belong somewhere like my club...a more appropriate place to argue over that, don't you think?
Speaking of which, do you think I should think about what Siguy said about "toning down my club's name" or do you think I should just ignore that all together?
Either way, I'm starting to get a bit more well known around here, don't you think?

Your club, your choice. After all, the first name for the FFFF was the Antichrist's Support Network. It depends mostly on what sort of people you want to attract... if you want vehement people, stay with the vehement name.

You still have a long way to go to manage my level of infamy, but you're on your way...

Well, as far as your club goes, I think there would have been mutinies against you if you hadn't changed the name! But as for mine, I plan on staying away from those violent Microsoft supporters, so I guess I'll stick with the original name.

So, you think I might actually become as infamous as you? Well, one can only dream...

It wouldn't have inspired mutinies, but it would have failed to become the sort of thing I wanted it to become. It would have been a bunch of disgruntled reformed xtians bitching... and while we still do a bit of bitching, it's the open-minded discussion things we do that I really wanted to be a part of.

You managed to offend somebody within your first dozen posts... I believe you're a natural for infamy!

The FFFF has always had some appeal to me, though I'm currently in such a state of religious confusion that I don't want to really bond to any one religion yet. And I see your point--open-minded discussions are much better than anything else as far as your club goes.
As far as mine goes, I need to keep those people away from me...I've never run into MS supporters before, and wow, they love to fight! Not just argue, they FIGHT in there! In fact, you're one of the few calm ones in there. (all right, RELATIVELY calm)

A natural to infamy, eh? Hmmm...then I'd better keep Mom away from these forums. She still doesn't know about the name, and I should probably keep it that way, don't you think?

Oh, and I'm finally making headway in that infernal game! Wish the barman wanted PARROT puree, though...

I have had a grudge against Bill Gates since before the days of Windows... Back in the late 1970s, he personally wrote a little ditty called "Microsoft BASIC", a language which was licenced and supplied with almost every brand of computer available from the late 1970 to mid-1980s. Sound familiar?

Anyway, this purported to be an implementation of Kemeny and Kurtz's BASIC language. But, Bill couldn't figure out one of the commands, so he just didn't bother to put it in... The "MAT" command, for matrix manipulation, was the core of all 3D programming in BASIC, and by depriving a whole generation of programmers of it, Bill personally set the cause of 3D graphics back by ten years.

I feel your pain...didn't know he was responsible for that kind of thing BEFORE Winbloze. Too bad people weren't able to squish him then, while we had the chance...
Since I love the high-tech computer graphics of today, it really sucks that we could have had them years ago if it wasn't for this dweeb.
Anyway, are you interested in joining the club? You sound like the perfect member to me--but if you don't want to, that's OK too.

I'd be more interested if it was the "Bill Gates must Pay!" society - death's too good for him!

Well said, Peet, well said.

And you know, that might be a good title for the club--if too many people try to stone me over the current one.

(Firey entrance)

What is this? Bill Gates must die? But he is my greatest creation! Windows is a critical element in my plan for universal domination and the fall of heaven! Of course Bill Gates will die, but only when he has fulfilled his purpose. Mind you, he's done a pretty good job so far.

And I give my personal assurance that he will burn in hell.

(vanishes in a puff of smoke, leaving a disgusting smell of brimstone in his wake)

Hey, sign me up! I want to be the Head of the Psychotic Plots and Schemes Department. My computer's being smart enough to be stupid right now for that added motivation. Great idea, Corrupt One!

No sooner said than done...in a manner of speaking, that is.

What a great cause to support!
Sign me up. I want to be the head of the anti-brainwashing and anti-indoctrination division. It's where I have most of my experience...
But wherever my talents are needed to bring down Gates, I shall serve there.

Now that my computer's stopped crashing (I think it detects this club and tries to prevent me from editing it! ) I can add you to the roster and thank you for joining our cause!

Just a quote from a site I recently found..."Have you come to the conclusion that Microsoft is an evil branch of Sirus Cybernetics Corporation?"

Atleast your computer is getting wiser, Corrupt. Mine is still being the damn idiot it is and being too damn slow.
