Homeland Security says 'Patch Windows Now'
gregger writes "Wow, so the Department of Homeland Security is really concerned with Microsoft patches now... enough to come out and tell us to patch our machines. This warning, chronicled in eWeek, was issued less than a day after the release of 23 patches from Redmond. So, if you don't apply the patches, then what?"
Hey, I found a fairly slick blog claiming to be completely independantly produced by an 18yr old university student. However, it's clearly a Microsoft site complete with Apple-bashing, a NineMSN commercial, a video titled "Vista speech recognition screencast: It works!", a story titled "MSNBC deceived the public: Vista's speech recognition demo" and MS-critic bashing, with a few lame attempts to throw people of their fairly rank scent.
...Or you could just flame be and tell me how redundant this is.
Microsofts Faux Blog
I thought you could do your part and call MS out on this one by leaving a comment to the effect of "We know this is a Microsoft astroturf advertisment that intentionally aims to mislead readers to beleive messages that benefit the corporation."
Get your head out of that bucket of ice. Our scepticism has nothing to do with "terrorists" it has to do with a corrupt government telling us what to do! They only act promptly in their own interest - they simple don't want people fighting them to use their own sheeple's resources against them.
And the government IS corrupt! We're conditioned to ignore it, not act on it! Did a crown of angry citizens attack Tom Delay? No. Did Oren Hatch get run out of town? Nope. The last time some corrupt official was reported in your news paper, did you gather up a posse and run him down in the streets? Not likely.
The DHS is a shell organization set up to distract and consolodate power. Period.
You are checking your backups, aren't you?
No body is saying that Bush caused hurrican Katrina. Did he have a huge part in the rediculously irresponsible handling of the situation? Yes. Has he put his trust in people that aren't up to the job? Yes. Are we at war when we should certainly not be? Yes. Have we been fed false information for a good portion of the last 7 years by the current administration? Yes. Do we hear backpeddling and lies from the current administration from month to month? Yes. Does Bush cause natural disasters? Well. Nobody can be certain, considering "God" said he wanted Bush to be president of the United States, but I highly doubt that Bush is of such significance to an omnipotent power that natural disasters occur as a result of his actions. Since we're living a state of affairs generated by those who are on the "far right," maybe we should give the "far left" a chance. Maybe get some stem cell research done and stop relying on oil so much. Just a thought. But then, what do I know, I can't even get married.
