Why Does Windows Still Suck?
RatBastard writes "SF Gate's Mark Morford asks: Why Does Windows Still Suck? After wtaching his significant other's Windows PC drown in a sea of viruses and worms after only 4 minutes on her new DSL connection, Mark Morford wonders why the masses have not stormed Redmond waving torches and scythes in anger over the never-ending security flaws in Windows. Why haven't they jetisoned the foul beast from Redmond and migrated en mass to the Macintosh or even Linux?"
Writes like the kinda guy who wants da girls in da stable to bring home the money.
"Yeah. I'm friggin' Santa Claws."
"Ho ho ho, hoe. Now get me my fuckin' dough, be-atch"
MSBPodcast.com The opinions expressed here are my own. If you don't like 'em... Think up your own stuff.
Wow, I ask someone what they mean and they grab a dictionary. Only on Slashdot.
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'.
Oh well. I seem to be getting modded down a lot lately. Maybe I should join up with one of those super-l33t slashdot troll gangs...
Or maybe I should just talk about how I like to make out with Linus and how p2p isn't used by pirates.
By the way, I don't run Windows at home. I run Mandrake. I am a Windows Sys Admin by profession, so I guess I'm a sell out. Whatever.
i call bullshit. my wife just bought a laptop w/ xp pro on it. when i checked windows update there wasnt a damn thing to install.
always mosh clockwise
I need a bottle of rum at my desk so that I can take a shot every time someone makes a corolation between my name and the tone in my post. Always makes me smile.
Actually, you're only the second, so I don't think I would be anywhere near as impared as I would like to be.
"saying anything bad about a mac or any alternative is herasey"
You must be new here. *looks at user number* Oh yeah. You are.
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
Unfortunately, console games, to me anyway, are hollow. Every once in a while, a game will come along like HALO that will be interesting enough for me to play to completion but only because I play it with friends cooperatively. Other than HALO, I haven't finished a single console game since... well... ever.
PCs tend to have much better games. Even the FPS games that come out on consoles and PCs are much better on the PCs because they are faster, have much better graphics, and even in the case of simultaneous console releases, have more storyline and replayability.
Console games just typically suck and are boring after an hour of play. Even FPS on PCs get boring to me after playing them for a few hours and that's even with the better graphics, easy online play, and everything else.
Before you go on about it, I have all the latest consoles... XBox, PS2, and GameCube. I haven't played a single game on them that was worth playing for a week. The only ones I've seen that are 'useful' are the DDR and Kareoke games we use to babysit kids when all of us get together to play PC games and someone brings their kids over.
Just another moron MS bashing.
Move along, nothing to see here.
