You are given the luxury of super fast, trans-continental transportation, over distances that would otherwise take days or weeks to travel. If you don't like the conditions, pay for a first class ticket. Or better yet, don't fly at all.

Normally, yes. The problem is, in Windows' case, there are now people congregated around the individual pieces of shit in the toilet bowl. They rely, quite heavily, on this shits' magical powers in order to get shit done. So, in this case, flushing everything down and restarting clean would also flush down all the people. The toilet would still be there, but its product (the shit), and supporters would be gone.
Most of us do that every day; On the phone. That's not really slower, or more verbose, IMHO. Then again, I try to use the phone more as an exchange of information, rather then a full conversation.

Yes, we need a third topic bitching about the units.
Wrong. I refer you to http://slashdot.org/faq/editorial.shtml#ed850
Good day.
In all seriousness, this happened in the US, so I'd say it's only fitting that the units of measure are ones that Americans use.
Biggest Frosty Piss ever?
Sorry to be pedantic, but Microsoft has basically given up on MSN at this point. They're now focusing on Microsoft Live Search.
I wish there was a "-1, FAIL" mod.
Indeed, it is.
I disagree. I've always thought that half the fun in sarcasm is that half the people won't get it, and you get to laugh at their stupidity.
A mild side effect is that you have no confidence in humanity, but hey, at least you got a laugh out of it.
Whoooosh!

Easily? No. Microsoft has shoveled TONS of money into passing OOXML.
It helps lower his taxes in the US.
Um, technically, isn't using any sort of medical treatment prolonging the inevitable? We're all going to die eventually.
A year might be worth it.
B-But, but... They PROMISED!!!
Goddammit, I want my flying cars!
No, it *is* expanding from the center, however, this also means that everything is getting further away from everything else.
I still don't see why that would allow it to violate the speed of light anyway (certainly not more then 2x).
"Obama and Hillary would be a great example of balancing out the pain of the Bush years by bringing in the Sith."
Um, you seem to be confused. Bush *is* the Sith.
I really, really hope you're being sarcastic. Or something.
It's not actually that bad. It just means that the universe is expanding at about 5 light years in every direction from the center every year.
Which would seem to mean it's expanding faster then light, the universal speed limit...
Okay, *now* my head hurts.
This is Apple we're talking about. Do I even need to say it?
That's an overused joke!
I believe this is called a 'figure of speech.'
Just thought you should know.

You're posting on Slashdot. I think we already know your gender. :-)
