Humor Since I think we haven't been having enough fun lately on OSNews, I decided it's time we do something fun for a change. We all have our little pet annoyances when it comes to other people's comments. Fixed expressions or comment styles that annoy the living daylights out of you. Here are mine.

This is sort of the "ditched Windows" thing, but I pick when people describe their hardware for no reason, and in excruciating detail.

"Yeah, I just ditched Windows on my Core i7 Bloomfield (oc'd to 3.2) with 6GB of OCZ DDR3 CAS8 (1800 @ 1.72v) plugged into my Foxconn BloodRage X58, cooled by 7 Antec 120mm fans (dropped to 5v) in a heavily modded Cooler Master Storm, powered by my PCP&C Silencer, with a Saitek Eclipse III keyboard (red LED). Linux rocks on it, though it did take me three days to get sound (RealTek ALC889), and it still only plays out the left speaker. It still blows Microsoft Windoze away."

"my 2c" ;)

(Just for my own protection, no, I don't own any of that.)

Well, those listings are a testament by first time, juvenile money spenders on stuff they don really need, but are so proud of owning. Don“t worry, It'll pass. I know from personal experience ;)
