A few things
1) Gormless idiots who, for no reason a sentient being can fathom, randomly stop in the middle of the pavement to chat/fart/dribble/whatever.
2) Gormless idiots who hog the middle or outer lanes, use a mobile whilst driving or tailgate.
3) Gormless idiots who break the speed limit, get caught, then blame the camera. Take some personal responsibility you fucktards.
4) Gormless idiots who forward me chain letter (usually racist or virus warnings) without out first engaging their brain and checking it out. And these are the same gormless idiots who get all huffy when I point out what a monumental shithead they have just been.
5) Gormless idiots who are too thick to secure the PC against being a drone in a bot-net. If you cannot do this one, simple thing; then you are too retarded to own a PC and should be banned from using them for life.
6) *nix fanbois. Too elitist and up-themselves to understand that, no matter how good *nix may be, it is still not ready for the neophyte home user. If these intellectual cuntbubbles are so smart, why don't they help out *nix by writing some documentation in plain English (or other language, just not fucking Klingon) and making sure it is easy to find? My guess is that they're all probably too busy beating themselves off over their latest bash script.
7) Mac fanbois, for reasons similar to the above.
8) Gormless idiots who can't tell the difference between a "fanboi" and a normal user.
9) Gormless idiots who moan about not having voted Brown in. They simply do not understand how the political system works in this country and are just too plain dumb to vote.

Good point about number 9
Though politicians should be made to stick to their election promises rather than buffeting about on the slightest breath of change. I mean he could at least stick to his own party's political views...

And as to point 6, I completely back this idea. I'm a professional engineer with a decent background in computers/programming and I still can't fathom some of the crap instructions you get. Then again, with a bit of streamlining and standardising (say, everyone use .rpms to install software unless they explicitly don't want to or software writers assume that the user's using a certain distro and other distros have to adapt round this) then Linux could really take off. Certainly Ubuntu and the like are there for day-to-day using-at-work for the majority of people. You've got an MS Word-compatible text editor, Excel-compatible spreadsheet app, web browser, VOIP/IM if you're allowed to use it, and a familiarish interface. Plus its available pretty cheaply for commercial use.

*hopes he doesn't sound like a fanboi. It's just intended as an appraisal based on my humble nerdy opinion*
