    I trust Microsoft more with simple things as logins as I trust some random company that has no clear financial background as PayPAL, and ppl entrust that lousy PayPal their money.

    See you in hell cock smokerrrrrrr.....Sincerely, An MS Passport developer.

    In a hideous twist of fate, Mr. Passportdeveloper was run over by an SUV. He went straight to hell, where his cock was indeed smoked.

    More specifically, it was smoked over the smokiest fire in hell.

    However, as one demon remarked, "It's not really worth smoking the cock of your average MS developer. They're so small, you don't even get a mouthful out of them. Plus, we didn't get a side-serving of balls; Mr. Passportdeveloper had already signed them over to Bill Gates via the EULA in Service Pack 2, and they are currently being held in secure storage at Gates' mansion, safe from theft by Mr.T"

    a recent Google cache of the Ebay page you'll see almost the opposite: Ebay announcing a user incentive deal with using Passport exclusively. I wonder if something went sour in the recent past between Microsoft and Ebay.

    God, I think my comments are getting even more stupid. An anonymous apology? And I keep replying to myself like a dimwit. Maybe I should quit while I'm still ahead.

    Sorry again /..

    And yet the apology issued here is vapid. I must once again emphasize that my sorry-ness is in no way eloquent enough in the previous posts. I am eternally sorry for it.

    Slashdot, dear friends...

    I AM SO INCREDIBLY SORRY.

    sorry sorry fucking sorry.
