Microsoft Offers New Data-Security Scheme
bingly_beep writes "The BBC is reporting Microsoft's new user security measure, whereby users sensitive information is stored on their PC rather then online, as in their previous offerings, such as Passport. This sounds like a good idea, but any such system would surely require that the user definitely erases the HD on any machine they sell. Perhaps Microsoft should include an option, like 'Prepare this computer for resale,' which utterly destroys all data."

As I am full of intoxicants may I simply say:
Fuck off Microsoft you bunch of cunts.
Yet again you allowed a company to be run by clueless marketroids instead of principled enginneers who always, always, ALWAYS want to make the best thing they can, to the best of their ability, using the tools available at the time they are alive (and are happy to be shown a better way of doing something simply because it's better) Even if that means they dont get to eat this week because there's nothing ready to sell. But if it's not fit for purpose we're not ready to sell it yet. OR KILL ME.
But you ignored all this to make a tellytubbies O/S just so a drooling, badly educated imbecile in a suit feels competent to operate it courtesy of your fucking retarded "wizards"...
The end result being that anonymous bad bastards (tm) in dark smoke filled basements (tm) can seize control of PCs planet wide because you made an O/S that sits there bent over a wall in "downtown badsville" (tm) with its pants pulled down asking if someone can help it appy some salve to its itchy teenage bottom...
You took the shiny new digital future made possible by the blood sweat & tears of pioneers such as Turing, Fibonacci etc. and fucking sold it for 20 pieces of fly encrusted crap. (hey I'm pissed, the spellings all to cock, and my list of "heavyweight names" is all blurry)
Microsft are digital poison. AIDSx86. Satans binary bollocks complete with trinary cock. The hidden HFUR (Halt, Fuck Up Randomly) instruction but with the shiny, shiny clean "come hither" glamour of all fucking bad witchcraft.
IO Pan ! Evoe Adonai ! IO ! IO !
Yes I have been on the piss. No I will not repent. Praise "Bob" OR KILL ME.
