This is an example of the sort of abuse we get all the time from ignorant people.
I inherited this science from my father, an ex-used-car salesman and part-time window-box, and I am very proud to be in charge of the first science with free gifts. You get this luxury tea-trolley with every new enrolment.
In addition to this you can win a three-piece lounge suite, this luxury caravan, a weekend for two with Peter Bonetti and tonight's star prize, the entire Norwich City Council.
Part of Microsoft's problem is a result of their own short-sightedness: in early 00's they tried to push IE as a platform for publishing intra-corporate applications. My university required IE for all staff because PeopleSoft would not run on any other browser - many other institutions still require it because applications just will not work on any other browser. Their aim since then has been pretty much to appease the business consumer to keep the cash coming - making IE non-shitty would mean breaking compatibility with proprietary web apps written without any form of CSS/HTML compliance.
Of course, part of it is also that their engineers don't know their asses from their elbows.
One of the problems I have is remembering shit I wish I would forget. If I hear a jingle or a song, no matter how obnoxious, it sticks in my head. I joined Bally's for a while a couple of years back, and ended up memorizing a frightening number of Backstreet Boys, N-Sync and Britney Spears songs. I swear I still know the lyrics to 'Crazy'.
Someone, please put me out of my misery.
I propose we stop celebrating Chinese New Year, put an end to Chinese Fire Drill and stop playing Chinese Checkers (Go).
That'll lurn 'em to bust our tomater.
Greed and stupidity went hand-in-hand on this one. Greed is not always enough to completely bankrupt someone - if anything, greedy people don't give up everything they have in the hopes that they will eventually get something in return.
She _is_ stupid, and greedy. At her age, greed especially enhances her stupidity (Stupid +10), as I can't imagine what she'd do with all her money in the time she's got left, if the scam really _had been_ legitimate.
I imagine that at some point in the future, Google will 'fess up to having been a subsidiary of Microsoft all along.

Personally, I think what's wrong with the Internet is the popularity of shit sites and services like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.
As far as I'm concerned, someone who hosts something as simple as Twitter has no right to bitch or moan about "the Internet". Shit, the functionality for the site is simple enough to be implemented within 2 days, by a developer worth his salt.
And you get C# which is actually a much nicer language than J++ ever was, integrate way better with Microsoft platform
Microsoft took Java, did a shitty job at writing a VM for it, ignored repeated urgings to conform, then threw a tantrum and reinvented the wheel.
... gave a much needed kick in sun's behind who realized it was finally time to update Java with some interesting features. Both are now alive and kicking.
Competition's always better, and my point wasn't to compare Java and C#. It was to demonstrate Microsoft's approach to such issues, which is to dissect, then "reinvent".

Yeah, I thought Alan Thicke killed him with throwing knives a long time ago

Usually, minor means no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops... depending on the breaks
/gollum Quoteses is also a plural noun. We're sure hobbitses meant to say, "Rrread... ON! for more choice quoteses... fromtheprofessor. My precious."
I told you they were tricksy. I told you they were false.
So I can't use it to go around swinging, and take on Commander Killt?
Yes, but unfortunately, the stupid far outweigh the brilliant.
Maybe the parent should've capitalized SPICE properly then? Not everyone's an engineer
Did you get the idea when you noticed the refrigerator was cold?

It's called "Billy and the Cloneasaurus"
However, we are reconstructing the source code, and when we succeed, we can compile as many mammoths as we need.
As long as we don't get any linker errors.
Perhaps he's sorting tiny screws?
It's been a huge albatross around their neck....
Do I get wafers with it?

Hmm, Mozart's Fifth Symphony...
Booo-urns!
Silverligth?? Sounds like some creepy relation of cthulhu
They just might be. They both have quite a few followers and are equally hideous.
Because you'd rather control your computer, than have your computer tell you how to control it?

You're the perfect candidate for the Voter Apathy Party. Welcome aboard, brother!

What was your point?
Pay better attention next time
