Sun Includes Microsoft-Like Automatic Updates Clause

Posted by timothy on from the wool-over-your-own-eyes dept.

Neill_Smith writes "Following on from Microsoft forcing automatic updates on their users if they want to stay secure, Sun seems to be trying to be trying something similar. They have given themselves permission to 'automatically download, install, and execute applets, applications, software extensions, and updated versions' in the license agreement (hit download) for the JDK on linux (and possibly other platforms)."

    Thats not the point, fuckface.

    The point is that MSFT and SUNW are doing similar fucked up shit with the EULA, which is always a piece of shit from any vendor, and Taco and the butt loving cock-licking-acolyte editors choose to backpage the SUNW story and attack MSFT. Fuck MSFT to death, I say, but fuck anyone in the ass that acts like them. I hate what MSFT DOES, not the ticker symbol, fat obnoxious Ballmer, stupid pompous meglomaniac Gates, not the company, not the people, not the technology, I hate MSFT for its ACTIONS, and monopolistic law breaking anti competitive anti-little-people-in-america ways.

    Most slashfools that troll this craphole looking for insight dont know about making all stories appear.

    What it says, though, having strata regarding the front page, is that there is degrees of sucktitude and shit here at slashPUS.
