Microsoft's Vision Of Future Workplaces
An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft unveils their new office of the near future in a swanky center in Redmond. Inside this article you will find clear evidence of institutional navel gazing like never before and a staggering ignorance of current technology (much of this seems retreaded) not to mention actual business needs or wants. Want proof? How about: '"Surround sound is going to be increasingly important in future offices," says group marketing manager Tom Gruver in leading a tour of the new facility.' Right. More chestnuts inside."
Shut up.

[09:03:45] Scabies Vector: The white man. Do you hate him?
[09:04:02] Scabies Vector: I'm conducting a bit of an impromptu survey.
[09:04:16] ciaograzioso: no
[09:04:20] Scabies Vector: Oh.
[09:04:29] Scabies Vector: Then what do you hate? AZNs?
[09:04:53] Scabies Vector: They have super kiki-pride in their rice, women, and slow but stupid looking automobiles.

[09:05:26] Scabies Vector: LOLOLOROOFLES
[09:05:45] ciaograzioso: no i don't know what you're talking about
[09:06:04] Scabies Vector: Oh...
[09:06:28] Scabies Vector: OK, well if you had to pick a race to hate, what would it be? Messicans?
[09:06:34] Scabies Vector: Those bastards are LAZY.
[09:06:36] ciaograzioso: no..
[09:06:40] ciaograzioso: they are you not
[09:06:54] ciaograzioso: you obviously don't live around farmers
[09:06:56] Scabies Vector: I had one try to wash my windshield at an intersection.
[09:07:08] ciaograzioso: so
[09:07:10] Scabies Vector: He didn't get out of the way quickly enough when the light turned green, so I ran over his foot.
[09:07:11] ciaograzioso: they're not lazy
[09:07:15] ciaograzioso: i don't hate any race
[09:07:24] ciaograzioso: that was mean
[09:07:32] Scabies Vector: Well, he didn't get out of the way...
[09:07:46] ciaograzioso: well, you coulda been patient
[09:07:49] Scabies Vector: Messicans are almost as lazy as canadians, when you get down to it.
[09:08:04] ciaograzioso: they are not, they're very good workers
[09:08:12] ciaograzioso: where are you getting your information
[09:08:13] Scabies Vector: But canadians don't even get out of my car's way...
[09:08:26] ciaograzioso: what do you just plain run them over
[09:08:34] Scabies Vector: sometimes
[09:08:40] Scabies Vector: Not out of spite.
[09:08:45] Scabies Vector: Well, ok, sometimes out of spite...
[09:09:32] Scabies Vector: Have you never run anyone over?
[09:09:36] ciaograzioso: no
[09:09:38] ciaograzioso: that's mean
[09:10:01] Scabies Vector: The first time I did, it tore the crap out of my tire.
[09:10:07] ciaograzioso: good
[09:10:12] Scabies Vector: One of their bones lodged in it, and popped it really badly.
[09:10:17] Scabies Vector: not good!
[09:10:20] ciaograzioso: that's sick
[09:10:27] ciaograzioso: i don't wanna know all that
[09:11:00] Scabies Vector: I had to pay like 130$ for a new tire...
[09:11:04] ciaograzioso: good
[09:11:12] Scabies Vector: Well...
[09:11:16] Scabies Vector: I found the guy's wife.
[09:11:17] ciaograzioso: well what?
[09:11:26] Scabies Vector: and beat her until she gave me the money for the tire...
[09:13:42] Scabies Vector: That was satisfying.
[09:13:55] ciaograzioso: i don't wanna know all that stuff
[09:14:00] ciaograzioso: i don't think it's funny either
[09:14:00] Scabies Vector: You should've heard her cry, and the looks on her kids faces were priceless.
[09:15:52] Scabies Vector: But that's all secondary to my real love.
[09:16:10] ciaograzioso: I DON'T CARE
[09:33:49] Scabies Vector: Sorry for the delay, some stupid neighbor's dog got caught in one of my traps.
[09:34:01] Scabies Vector: Anyways, what DO you care about?
[09:34:35] ciaograzioso: i care about people
[09:37:10] Scabies Vector: People are generally worthless...
[09:37:17] ciaograzioso: they are not
[09:37:26] Scabies Vector: Prove it.
[09:37:26] ciaograzioso: people have a lot of value
[09:37:36] Scabies Vector: OK, all I ask is you to prove it to me.
[09:38:06] ciaograzioso: if people were worthless, Jesus Christ wouldn't have died for them, not for you, for me, or for anyone else, but He did
[09:38:23] Scabies Vector: Jesus was a fag!
[09:38:31] ciaograzioso: prove it
[09:38:34] Scabies Vector: OK
[09:38:48] Scabies Vector: He told everyone that a man should never have relations with another man.
[09:38:50] Scabies Vector: You know why?
[09:38:57] Scabies Vector: So HE COULD HAVE ALL THE MEN FOR HIMSELF!
[09:39:07] ciaograzioso: that is so biased
[09:39:12] ciaograzioso: where did you get that?
[09:39:20] Scabies Vector: Uhh, logical reasoning?
[09:39:49] ciaograzioso: logical reasoning
[09:39:56] ciaograzioso: so you're saying that Christ was gay
[09:40:11] ciaograzioso: you need more than logical reasoning to present something as a fact
[09:40:12] Scabies Vector: Well, he sure wasn't interested in the womenz.
[09:40:23] ciaograzioso: He was without sin....
[09:40:41] Scabies Vector: He was just desperate as hell to get laid, but nobody would do him.
[09:40:44] ciaograzioso: which means He couldn't have been a homosexual or heterosexual
[09:40:53] Scabies Vector: So he went gay.
[09:41:03] Scabies Vector: Gay guys will do anything... women have standards.
[09:42:03] ciaograzioso: men have standards too
[09:42:09] Scabies Vector: Not gay men.
[09:42:17] Scabies Vector: Fags will bone anything with an anus.
[09:42:22] ciaograzioso: there's no way you can prove that He was gay
[09:42:28] ciaograzioso: but i can tell you He wasn't
[09:42:53] ciaograzioso: because in order for Him to be crucified, He had to be perfect without sin
[09:43:15] Scabies Vector: no!
[09:44:14] Scabies Vector: Whoah, you're the preacher's DAUGHTER?
[09:44:52] Scabies Vector: Preacher's daughters are usually the most rebellious of the rebellious skanks!
[09:47:04] ciaograzioso: how do you know that
[09:47:25] Scabies Vector: When you sell your soul to satan, he usually gives you something in return.
[09:47:34] Scabies Vector: I got the ability to find out anything about anyone.
[09:48:37] ciaograzioso: how
[09:49:16] Scabies Vector: OK, I lied.
[09:49:16] ciaograzioso: who are you
[09:49:29] Scabies Vector: I just got your screen name from the side of a bathroom stall.
[09:49:59] ciaograzioso: what
[09:50:04] Scabies Vector: It said, "To talk to an uber-hot italian chick, IM ciaograzioso"
[09:50:08] ciaograzioso: no you dodn't
[09:50:14] Scabies Vector: I dodn't?
[09:50:21] ciaograzioso: i'm praying the blood of Jesus over you...
[09:50:26] Scabies Vector: ??!!
[09:50:33] ciaograzioso: i hope God will work in and through your life
[09:50:35] Scabies Vector: You're spraying me with Jesus's blood?
