Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "A Microsoft Office 2003 bug is locking people out of their own files, specifically those protected with Microsoft's Rights Management Service. Microsoft has a TechNet bulletin on the issue with a fix. It looks like they screwed up and let a certificate expire. There's no information on when the replacement certificate will expire, though, or what will happen when it does."

    So the source of OpenOffice is written in LOLCode ?

    Wouldn't surprise me, geek jokes are rarely *that* funny outside the basement clique.

    Wanna know the funniest thing about this?

    I knew that some people would recognize themselves in “needy loser, who caves to every shit” (Especially in relation to women.), and then try to repress it, because the resulting realizations of how bad their lives are, would crush them. ^^

    If I would have actually wanted to help those, I would have written it in a different (swallowable) way. But since I don’t care... ^^

    What’s also funny, is that some (especially those) people still think that you would get power and women, by caving and saying yes all the time (just to be finally loved). Which is of course absurd. Except perhaps on opposite day. ^^
    But I did not expect a geek site’s users to even remotely grasp this

    Your disagreement essentially just fortifies my position. ^^
