    "Almost all attacks against our software are against the legacy systems," he said.
    "If you want more secure software, upgrade."

    It's a good point. Easy test to discover if you are using a legacy OS: Go to a command line and look for "$LETTER:\>" followed by a flashing cursor. If you see that, you are using a legacy OS, and should upgrade to a modern OS immediately.

    Until, of course, someone trips over the raised rug or sees dust puff out when the rug is stepped on.

    Or smells it. This IS Microsoft software, after all.

  7. Sources indicate on Japanese Government Raids Microsoft Offices · · Score: 3, Funny
    A commission official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity,

    Anonymous sources have supplied an unconfirmed statement that the official's name is "Kilroy". This "Kilroy" is rumored to be the recipient of intelligence enhancing implants designed by IBM. This unsubstantiated report was lent minor credence when the official in question walked away from the podium chanting, "Domo Arigato, Mister Roboto" repeatedly.

    Don't like the old UI? It's gone. All new.

    Massive government databases on what beer you drink? Give me a break.

    Well, how else are they going to find which beer would be most effective to dose with the mind-controlling drugs, now that Homer exposed their flu-shot strategy?

  14. ObOldSaw on Upgrading Your Current System To Kernel 2.6 · · Score: 5, Funny
    It's not exactly the most user-friendly system around.

    The SCO-MOLD can cause your toes to itch, and emit a foul odor. Luckily, daily applications of Tough Actin' Tinactin will clean it right up.

    I had to revert old school and use a sheets of paper and a filing cabinet for my database.

    Sheets of paper!?!? Filing cabinet!?!? You lucky bastard! In my day, we had to scratch our records onto limestone rocks with our fingernails, and then put them in our beds to use as mattresses. Kids these days...
