Microsoft Quietly Previews PC Advisor Repair Tool

notthatwillsmith writes "On Friday, Microsoft invited members of the Windows Feedback Program to try out a preview of a new application, the Microsoft PC Advisor. The new tool promises to 'continuously monitor your PC for problems and give you the solutions to fix them, in real time.' After testing on several Vista machines with a variety of problems, Maximum PC has written a full report on the Microsoft PC Advisor. The short version? Like every other 'PC Repair' tool they've tested, the new apps signal-to-noise ratio is quite bad, and it misses the obvious and important problems, like out-of-date videocard drivers."

    Actually, this is how it would really be like if the majority of all people were atheists:
    ATHEIST KID: I'm flying to planet Zebulon to fuck a hooker. Because we atheists can fly. Through space.
    ATHEIST MOM: Okay, ATHEIST SON.
    ATHEIST KID: Afterwards I'm going to smoke rolled up plastic foil with my friends because our super-lungs can handle any kind of toxic smoke and we want to rub it in the Christian guys' faces.
    ATHEIST MOM: Okay, son. Don't accidentally kill too many innocent bystanders.

    The atheist kid leaves the room. The father comes home from work several minutes later.

    ATHEIST DAD: Hey!
    ATHEIST MOM: Hi, ATHEIST DAD! I'm pregnant again becauce our super-gametes were too super for both the condom and the pill.
    ATHEIST DAD: No problem; like always we'll abort by going back in time and zapping the ovum with the X-ray laser vision all us atheists have, which I'm pointing out for no reason at all.
    ATHEIST MOM: Oh, and don't go into the bedroom.
    ATHEIST DAD: Why not?
    ATHEIST MOM: Superman and Batman are making out in there. Again.
    ATHEIST DAD: You really should produce your movies elsewhere.

    Suddenly, their neighbor runs into the house.

    ATHEIST NEIGHBOR: Come quick, there's a Christian outside!
    ATHEIST MOM: We'll be right there!

    The atheists quickly put on a couple of black spandex outfits with an "A" logo. Then they exit the house and fly into the street where a twenty meter tall heavily armored combat Christian is tearing up the neighbourhood with its shoulder-mounted "Stigmatizer" nailgun. The atheists combine their powers to emit a deadly laser beam that vaporizes the Christian in a huge cross-shaped explosion.

    RANDOM ATHEIST: Damn you, Christian! We claim to be tolerant of all religions. But we really hate yours! That's because we atheists really got the short end of the stick by only getting immortality, flight, time travel, X-ray laser vision, telepathy, telkinesis, super-charisma, untold riches, dashing good looks and the ability to understand British English while you got nailguns and dyslexia! Die, Christian!

    THE END

    Super-scary, isn't it?
