Is Microsoft Office Adware?
An anonymous reader writes "Office may fall under Microsoft's own definition of adware. It links to third-party commercial add-ons, includes up-selling promos, requires cookies for certain functions, and collects technical information. While this is like a normal day on the web, should the commercial office suite be held to a different standard and possibly be considered adware? The article also notes that clicking advertising links in Office will bring up Internet Explorer, regardless of whether or not it is the default browser. We discussed Microsoft's decision to turn Works into adware a few months ago.
GET ON YOUR KNEES! GET ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES BITCH!
(in layman terms, I'm instructing you to knell down and give me fellatio). Thank you for your attention.
Should CmdrTaco be considered a homosexual pedophile? He wears a buttplug at work, likes to have sex with other men, and doesn't like having sex with women. Additionally, he often expresses a desire to suck off pre-pubescent boys and fantasizes about tossing their salad.
"in order to feel fully dominant, they must own it against our will."
So, they're just like niggers having sex with white women?
You obviously haven't been here very long, fanboi.

Microsoft's rise was meteoric. Since its captain has not done what is needed to attain orbital velocity, it is going to come down like a meteor as well. Hopefully it will mostly burn up on descent and not impact the real world too badly.
you know, I was rereading my post and thought I was doing well until a few sentences in. Normally, I wouldn't respond to a post like yours, but you see that is an assumption. I haven't had a grammar nazi attack me thus far... damn, you made me go Godwin on you!... If I am to be attacked on my misuse of words, then I hope that the person doing it would at least try to maintain proper grammar in their criticism. You see, English isn't my first language; however, I assure you that I know better than to use a conjunction to begin a sentence - though I may do so myself, not claiming to be a formal writer. You may rebut this by saying that the post is not a formal writing, but misuse of the proper {"there", "they're", "their"} may lead to confusion; however, I contest that by saying that the flow of the sentence would correct any misconception, and it is the flaws of the English language that pose the problem. Also, I would like to suggest that you include a subject and verb in your sentences. A solution that may appease both of use would be a fundamental change to the English language that leads to much of the confusion in it's written form. For one, the use of the letter 'c' is entirely unessassary as a 'k' or 's' kan be used as eqwivalent substatutes. U may have also notised my use of "kw" instead of the ugly "qu". This is bekuz of my opposition to the letter 'q' beeng used in the langwidg. so, plees help me eliminate the c and q from the language and I will then make sure I double read every post for the korrekt use of {"there", "they're", "their"}. Until that time, I will continue to be human and go more for the content of the post than ensuring I comply with the silliness of the language. I know there are many rooms for misinterpretation, but I already try to avoid those.
When all else fails, try.
