    how much kool-aid have you drank?

    you obviously didn't even bother reading the summary

    professors? thousands? congress? big government?

    ok these are teachers, your lucky if they have a bachelors degree, not professors.

    most teachers do not teach every period, so if they only do 4 classes in a day with ~30 students each your 10 fold off

    this was senate, there is a difference, and it was the local state senate, which I assure you has the time for these sorts of questions, that is why they are there.

    I would say its a win for the management, they haven't produced anything and got even more money to do it ... for everyone else though?

    I am no MS fanboi but whenever I point out a negative about these precious DM's then I get modded down to hell and back, so now that I poke fun of it I am going to get the same treatment cause it was never praised (by the same fucking people).

    although I have gotten several lengthy messages on how I am a Luddite stuck in the 90's and can no possibly comprehend modern technology, but NOW I am a MS fanboi

    fuck you trolls I cant ever win with you people unless I am flipping bits with a god damned magnet (which then I would be bashed for not using SSD)

  15. Re:Avoid 8, there's a pattern on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    that is not a pattern you dumbass, cause you forgot half of the releases

    95 = fine for the time, but issues with anything but legacy hardware

    95 OSR2 = much better, direct X is no longer a patch for a fuckup and usb starts to be supported

    98 = crap

    98 SE = excellent

    ME = really I never had a problem with this OS, most people today just go ME LOLZ!!! but really if you didnt run a fucking celeron with 8 megs of ram it did ok, it was rock solid on AMD machines and I used it for years

    2000 = the fucking best, but you forgot that

    XP = crap, its 2K with a vomit theme and fucking stupid wizards to wipe your ass every time you click something, and when it first came out it was the cumdumpster of all hackers, yea you could send a pop up message box to anyone on the internet, took years to unfuck, SP2 is when it started to be respectable but still ran like a dead dog compared to 2k

    Vista = useless garbage until they service packed it to windows 7

    7 = still does not do a single fucking thing that XP and 2k didnt do, even more retard wizards, popups every time you click, but yet lets spyware install freely, force upgrade just for directX otherwise the only other thing that impressed me was the calculator, just another vista service pack but since vista sucked so bad they changed the name.

    yea thats a hell of a pattern

  18. Re:X86 ... on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    why? do you really need 16 gigs of ram to run fucking firefox? (ok bad example)

    it amuses me people here bitch and wine about XP, but if you actually want to upgrade your OS then you have to buy a new machine, which unless your running 1080p video games and bluray wont make a piddleshit difference.

    if your going to buy a new computer every update of an os just go fucking buy apple and shut the hell up, leave us rational people alone.

  21. Re:x86? on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    no x32 should be supported, there is no reason for many people to buy whole new machines for the promise of 64 bit software as there still is not much of it, what is the compelling reason other than memory space?

    Take users like my father for instance, he has a 2005 machine but it rips XP a new asshole, it runs windows 7 great, why should he have to spend hundreds on a new machine that is not going to offer him squat, just to do the same internet / office tasks its doing now?

    PS: windows 7 pro can be found in 32 bit, and honestly from a user perspective you cant tell the difference, and if your running servers you wont be concerned about whatever MS is farting out today until its 110% solid (from a MS server point of view)
