Maybe they're just fucking idiots, with an IT department that either is utterly inept or had been so marginalized by MBA morons and sociopaths.
Don't worry. Instead of security they have been moved to the online sales department. Now they are all doing photoshop work for the summer swimsuit line now so they will be unlikely to cause Target any further embarrassment...
You have my vote. I was going to vote for my cat but now I'm going to write in Anonymous Coward at the next election. Can't be any worse choice than any of the loosers that have run recently.
Are you kidding? The very first thing I do when I see a Linux GUI is CTRL+ALT+F1 (or F2, F3... anything to get a normal tty). In any other *nix, I immediately pop open a terminal and do all my work there.
For those who know why, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not (*cough*MCSA types*cough*), no explanation will suffice.
Actually you now need to know some PowerShell in order to pass the MCSA tests, at least for Windows 2012.
if it was a phoned in order the labor would be around 1/2 second to select the checkbox to install Firefox. Everything else would most likely be automated.
Well.. even if you're just making a joke, I'm not talking about anything as cosmetic as that, and I'm not even talking about XP, but I think you know that.
It was a joke. My first reaction to Windows XP was that it looked like it was designed by Fisher-Price.
I remember when Bill Gates said that if software were being pirated, he would prefer that it was HIS software being pirated. He wanted to hook them now, so that he could charge them later.
I guess there aren't enough pirates being hooked, so now they have to give it away gratis.
I suspect that they will have trouble even giving Windows 8.x away.
getting the reactor into orbit isn't the problem, just shove enough explosives under it and you're good. The problem is finding enough unobtanium to build the containment cylinder around the reactor to keep it from exploding out disintegrating.
But, Defense contracts are much more profitable than infrastructure projects, so at this moment an army of lobbyist are in D.C. reminding every congresscritter how many defense dollars are funneled into their district and how many defense contractor dollars are funneled into their campaign funds.
...ith the added insult of requiring gestures even on a mouse-based machine!
I've been using Windows 8 for quite some time, and without commenting on my overall opinion, I have never once done anything that I would consider a "gesture."
There is a certain gesture popular with Windows 8 users that is very commonly directed towards Microsoft, particularly before they find out about start menu replacements.
Even a relatively harmless virus in the POS computer of a staff knick-knack shop would be reported as a 'possible avenue for compromising the high-value intelligence networks'.
And yet thousands of compromised POS systems (Target, Nieman-Marcus, et al) aren't sufficient to switch to a more secure payment system.

Oh Noes! it has 1 part in 10,000,000,000 of mercury. It must be toxic!

There is a very broken, hazy line between marketing and lying.
I thought they were synonyms...
If you are trying to sell something it's marketing. Otherwise it's lying.

Well, given that 77% of Americans believe in the existence of angels, I don't know what anyone expected.
I believe in Angels. They play baseball in Los Angeles.
And in addiiton, what about the fact that they're eating up your bandwidth?
Knowing Comcast, Wi-fi use probably applies to your bandwidth limit as well.

we're being force-fed Playskool-like operating systems for computers
Hey, Even Microsoft realized that the default color scheme in Windows XP was a bad idea.
How much "game-changing functionality" can you really work into a fucking coffee machine?
It turns into a coffee fucking machine. See how I did that?
So that's where the cream comes from...
Not just the Internet. But that guy with the fedora, mink coat and lots of bling.
On one hand he's using Fedora. A Linux user can't be that bad. But on the other hand he's using Bing, there's just no excuse for that.
Google, now has its own navy, to go with its air force and robot army.'"
How else do you expect them to defend themselves from Oracle?

I did not oppose a Federal gay marriage law out of hate for gays. I opposed it because marriage is none of the Federal government's f*ing business.
Since marriage is none of the government's business then why should they be able to tell you who you cannot marry?
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."
Actually, I do press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off on my car. (Nissan Altima with keyless ignition)
Nissan are probably looking to understand what people want from a luxury electric sedan.
My first reaction was that Nissan's next EV will probably wear an Infiniti badge.

But whale sharks aren't very menacing unless you are a krill.
What about an OS where everything is a potato?
I tried that once. Unfortunately when I ran it full multitasking on a multicore processor, the timeslicing just left me with a bag of chips....
Besides, I'm pretty sure you were violating several Frito-Lays patents with that configuration.
