WinXP SP2 Sacrifices Compatibility for Security
goldragon writes "TechRepublic is reporting that "Microsoft is pulling out all the stops to improve security. So much so, in fact, that it will cause many problems because SP2 will de-emphasize backward compatibility with legacy systems and code for the sake of security." One small step forward for Microsoft, one giant leap backwards for mankind?"

You're such a tool. What an idiot.
Is that you?

Joel had an interesting article recently entitled How Microsoft Lost the API War. He is arguing that a lot of Microsoft's past success had to do with there philosophy of never, ever breaking backward compatibility. However, recently they started to break backward compatibility (especially for developers), arguing that the new frameworks would be better, faster, more elegant, etc. Granted, most of the issues mentioned in the article relate to security (yes, I read it), but this may still be indicative for a new direction Microsoft is taking.
Under capitalism man exploits man. Under communism it's the other way around.
I don't people, before you waste your time on something as worthless as any Microsoft product, why don't you indulge in one of my sexual fantasies... Here's the beginning of a series based on the world of Gor by John Norman. If you enjoy women raped and flogged and treated as slaves then Gor is the place for you. Looks like John and I pretty much share the same obsessions for some reason. Maybe we have the same oversoul?
Anyways: Here it is: Enjoy!

Kelom the trainer was determined to get Kirsty into the optimal position
for showing of her chest with those two deliciously tiny breasts.
The petite brown haired girl had only spent two days of her new life as a source of
male delight in the care of Kelom. Already she had learned that her thighs,
breasts, buttocks and even her beautiful knees were at the center
of mens' attention on this alien world. Barely a minute had passed in the
previous days that a man's hand had not either gently stroked her thighs
or knees while she knelt or had painfully squeezed her breasts
or had applied a plethora of incredibly painful punishment devices to her
body. Kirsty had never before been hurt worse painwise in her young life of
19 years as when Kelom first asserted his male authority over her body
and had whipped her with a black leather strap at full force over her
petite breasts, her firm buttocks and her finely muscled legs.
Yet even the searing agony the leatherstrap had brought her tortured body paled
in comparison to the excruciating almost bone-breaking pain a session
entailed with what appeared to Kirsty to be some sort of medical device.
After its cool electrodes were attached to her upper thighs and calves,
a push of button would be all that was required to cause her leg muscles
to contract into an incredibly agonizing artificially induced cramp. Even
though Kirsty had already spent numerous sessions strapped down on a cot
with Kelom standing over her she never noticed how much his face told of
the immense enjoyment and satisfaction when he saw her twist and
contort her body in response to the electric impulses the device sent through
her beautiful legs. Oh how during those punishment sessions she wanted badly
to shriek and scream in resonance with the agony raging through her legs but
more than often she could not as all the screams and shrieks that desperately
wanted to escape Kirsty's throat were locked right into the middle of her lungs.
Those screams she could not let escape Kirsty imagined burned a hole
into her very being. After being an eternity a prisoner to pain
her body gave up trying to cope with the uncopable and released her mind into
a dark yet comforting void. It would be minutes later before Kirsty's mind
would once again catch up with her suffering and abused body to find Kelom
gently kneading and massaging her thighs if she was lucky. Sometimes when he
felt she did not deserve it she would wake to find him sitting beside her
gleefully grinning at her and masturbating himself.
A hard slap right into her face brought Kirsty back to the reality of the
training session at hand and left her with a shrill ringing sound in her
ears while the skin of her right cheek where Keloms palm had hit her began
to tighten and burn.
"Put your hands behind your head and arc your back! NOW!" Kelom roared.
Oh no! Kirsty heart began to race, oh no! I've been doing it again, Kirsty
thought to herself and immediately her stomach filled with what seemed to
be icy water. I didn't pay attention! No, please, I don't want to be punished
again, oh please just let it pass this one time. Tears began to shoot into
Kirsty's eyes and run down the sides of her cheeks. Kirsty knew she wouldn't
be able to go through another "special punishment" session with Kelom and
the adrenaline coursing through her system made her that nauseous that she
