Microsoft Du Jour - Talks, Upgrades, Salaries
Jeff writes: "CNN is reporting 'In a dramatic move, the new judge in the Microsoft case Friday ordered the government and the software maker into five weeks of intensive settlement talks, until Nov. 2.'" Other MS submissions coming in today: USAToday discovers the new upgrade scheme, designed to milk every last cent out of those who've locked themselves into Windows; tech-report.com goes a bit more in depth on the same subject; ZDNet hoists the black flag; MS discusses its plans to control how you compute (by the way, the license agreement for Windows Media Player now allows Microsoft to disable any software on your computer - you do read those license agreements, don't you?); Gates got $666,000 last year but won't have to apply for welfare just yet.
they're all a bunch of jews!
Psarianos kicks all of your asses.
We shove Jimmy Dean® Homestyle Pork Sausage up Mohammed's ass. Then while the Giver strokes me off I shoot my wad in Mohammed's face, after which we force Mohammed to fellate an 800 pound Chester White. Simultaneously, two Hasidic rabbis open their kosher bowels, unleashing torrents of gefilte shit on Mohammed's head and back, while The Giver pumps Mohammed from behind. After the hog shoots its wad in Mohammed's mouth, The Giver shoots his up Mohammed's ass. Then, unexpectedly, the Chester White roots out Mohammed's penis and testicles, hungrily biting them off, gobbling them down with full porcine fury. We bury the newly castrated Mohammed up to his nose in pig manure. Two AIDS infected Bowery whores stuff their used condoms and clotted tampax down Mohammed's throat, and crack a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 over his skull. We then leave him for the hogs to munch on. Mohammed is swine feed, and by tomorrow, he will be swine manure.
shakes from fear realizing that probably a large number of people out there are eating this garbage up as if it were as natural as poop
Your statment is illogical! Humans do not, in my experience, naturally eat poop! Only monkeys do that!
Humans and monkeys both masturbate however, though monkeys prefer public masturbation and humans are less efficient masturbators than Vulcans.
Please obey logic and be more vigilant.
I DO NOT GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His only companion is a large, black dog named Farmer. Farmer chases away the young boys who come to the hut to perform rites of passage. If Farmer is a good dog and kills a boy, Theo rewards him with "no bum-hurt tonight." (Farmer doesn't like the bum-hurt, as he can only lay on his side for days afterward, and so avoiding the bum-hurt is always in his canine mind.)
His main box is a 33MHz Pentium which he stole from an office-supply store. He also has a SPARCstation 2, which is the main OpenBSD webserver.
He can't code very well, and mainly spends his days downloading NetBSD source, replacing the names of NetBSD developers with his own, and performing his "wiggly goodgood dance," an elaborate ritual which involves running around in his dooryard, throwing himseld in a pile of mulch, and then writhing on the ground for hours.
He spends his nights working with Osama bin Laden (or, as Theo calls him, "Sneaky-Oh"), planning to destroy the United States. He concocts detailed plans and stores them on his Pentium box, encrypting them with software that he stole from US companies.
Theo "writes" OpenBSD. He takes the aforementioned NetBSD source code, adds in some security features "borrowed" from secure Linux distributions, and then copy-and-pastes every piece of stolen crypto code he can find. The only original work in a OpenBSD distribution is the fish art -- Theo is quite the artist, and is a master fecal painter. (Note: Theo's art is located on the installation media. The package art is actually drawn by Theo's cousin Deo, leader the infamous "Gay Deo and his Faggy Friends" variety troupe.)
Once a month, Theo ventures into the "big city." (Toronto.) He loves to sit on the curb, stare up at the big lights, as people if their name is George, and stuff the pockets of his overalls with objects d'art found in dumpsters. (His "smell-treasure," he calls it.) On these visits, Theo sometimes drops off new versions of OpenBSD at the Calgary Computer Shoppe of Greater Faggotsburg, a quaint little store which manages distribution of OpenBSD in the same way that Walnut Creek managed FreeBSD before they went bankrupt due to crappy outdated code and were bought by BSDi, purveryors of even crappier, more outdated code ("SysV? What's that? What do you mean that BSD UNIX died ten years ago?"), who were bought by Wind River, an unknown company consisting of two farm-league professional Mexican wrestlers named "Muchas Death" and "El Pinto Scario."
Theo, The Rat as he would be called by his friends if he had any friends, is a dirty little bitch. No one likes him because he's an asshole. He sticks his fingers up his ass and then wipes his fingers on the jungle-gyms at preschools.
Thank you.

I like to watch.
Why don't you SHUT THE FUCK UP? I know penguins are from the souther hemisphere. I was seeing if I could get people to reply to my post by mixing up the facts. Looks like it worked. Not as well as the last time, but still... YHBT! YHL! HAND!
Look.. I'm not exactly a big supporter of Microsoft, but this brand a blatantly inflammatory rhetoric is just childish.
USAToday discovers the new upgrade scheme, designed to milk every last cent out of those who've locked themselves into Windows.
Translation: Microsoft will be charging for significant upgrades.
And why shouldn't they? They spend time and money creating the upgrades...aren't they justified in trying to recoup some or all of that cost, so they can continue to offer product upgrades in the future? Micosoft is a business, same as any other. They stay in business by making money. That doesn't make them evil. If you happen not to like how they go about doing things, then you use Linux, which many of us do..myself included. Its as simple as that. Theres no point in demonizing a company for doing the exact same thing YOU would be doing in their shoes.
MS discusses its plans to control how you compute (by the way, the license agreement for Windows Media Player now allows Microsoft to disable any software on your computer - you do read those license agreements, don't you?)
Translation: Microsoft wants users to have a solid, consistant computing platform, rather than a disorganized assembly of argumentative standards that disrupt, aggrevate and annoy most users.
Ugh..More fear-mongering. You'll notice it says "disable" and not "uninstall", by the way. Disabling other products is a common practice. RealPlayer, Netscape, IE, all engadge in this. So, of course they're trying to "control how you compute".. So are we. Thats the whole purpose of an operating system. Again, don't demonize another party for something you engadge in as well. Now, the next topic -- Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player is a Microsoft product, designed to work with other Microsoft products. That includes the underlying OS. If something gets in the way of its task, it has a right to remove that "thing" so it can perform correctly. After all, by choosing installing WMP, you're basically inferring that you want to use it, are you not? Why else would you want to install it, unless you wanted it to run? This is the whole point of an 'upgrade' in the first place. You are replacing something that either does not work (or doesnt work well enough) with something that does work. So what are you really complaining about here? Sensical, consistant design? Admittedly, its a heavy handed approach, but XP is an OS for beginners that dont want to worry about how things are internally. They just want them to work. Period. And is that so wrong? Isn't that what we all want for Linux, ultimately, as well?
Like I said.. I dont like Microsoft all that much either. But I know an unfair criticism when I see it. Laying that sort of fearmongering onto a captive audience several hundred thousand wide is not only childish but terribly irresponsible, IMHO.
