Microsoft in Peru, Living Room
Two pieces of Microsoft news today. tfofurn writes "According to this AP quickie and this Reuters story, both on Yahoo, Microsoft is donating 'about $550,000 in money, software and consulting services to the Peruvian government for educational and "e-government" initiatives' to Peru. The AP story mentions the conflict of this with Edgar Villanueva's proposal to have the government use only open source software. Villanueva (/. interview), you may recall, wrote a famous letter to MS Peru a few months ago." And many people have submitted stories about Windows XP Media Center, coming this winter to a living room near you.

How the hell are you supposed to know which links to click and which to avoid? I'm sure there are a few goatse-links in there.
Fucking Gates, he's resorted to bribing people to get them to use his software. Sucks! I wonder what Mr. Villaneuva's going to say about it. Coup d'etat? That would be interesting, a real revolution brought about by Open Source. :o
What time is it/will be over there? Check with my iPhone app!
Why the hell is everything prefixed by 'My' these days? What's the point of it? Every profile on a Windows installation has its own 'My Documents' folder, making the pronoun FUCKING USELESS. Call it 'Documents' and be done with it. It's just retarded to have to say 'Open your My Documents folder' or 'It's in my My Documents folder'..
A tip to all you software developers who think having 'My' in their program somewhere would be cute - leave the pronouns alone, fuckwits. There are a whole lot of you on Sourceforge. Go fuck yourselves and take your mental retardation with you.
My Music, My Videos, My Pictures, My Man, My, My, My, FUCK! MY BOOT IN YOUR GODDAMN TEETH!
Microsoft can suck My Ass.
Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!
What you just discribed is called dumping and is illegal under most international trade agreements and local laws. Looks like there might be another Microsoft court case if they aren't careful.
The Economics of Website Security
1st: All of Microsoft's software that used to be free remains free. What you are claiming you anti-capitalist fuck is not seen, but is burried in a socialist scum-sucker's mind, like yours.
2nd: Linux IS owned. Huge portions of the code are dual-licensed, allowing the original copyright holder to screw up the way (s)he fancies.
But it's a capitalist world mate, and we gonna smash the socialists to the fuck.
The rumors I heard were:
Richard Stallman has never had an off-campus job.
Eric S. Raymond was implicated in that 'satanic' kitten burning incident in Missouri yesterday.
Linus Torvalds' green card is about to expire.
Slashdot is slowly becoming a marketing arm of Apple Computer (look at all the new 'sections' in the past few months)
