Microsoft To Get Malware Bailout In Germany

hweimer writes "The German government plans on paying to set up a call center to help Windows users with malware infections. I think this has the effect of being a malware bailout for Microsoft, discouraging them and other software companies from writing better code and giving users little incentive to switch to more secure alternatives. How much government money is needed to run the call center is also not revealed." The call center, running in cooperation with ISPs (but not manufacturers), is envisioned to have a staff of about 40.

That's quality humor son, not flamebait.

If you doubt my ID ownership read back as far as you like and I think you'll find a pleasing consistency of tone and thought.

I have no such desire, especially if your past posts are worded as to piss people off.

Actually, they are designed to be funny - you see, I have "sense of humor" that allows me to laugh even if jokes were, say, targeting something I liked very much. So they are very much build in the spirit of being fun.

I have no desire to tailor posts to humorless starched-shirts such as yourself, so I'm pretty sure you would find my body of work to overload your delicate sensibilities and thus I would in fact avoid reading them, or frankly the internet altogether.
