    Can't you picture it?

    News flash, December 28, 2012
    During this past Christmas season, a band of hackers known to the FBI as "3l33t d00dZeZ" have violated the DMCA bill through the bypassing of password-protected security within Windows 2010 Ultra-elite Corporate Edition. This breach in security left millions of computer systems open to attack during the holidays. During this attack, any information stored in the Microsoft Keep-Your-Stuff-Safe application is brute-force cracked over the Internet in much the same fashion as the early DDOS attacks in the late '90's-early 2000's. Because of the nature of this attack, and due to the landmark ruling by the Supreme Court in 2007 to mandate all computers to be constantly connected to the Internet to gather Microsoft patches more readily, every computer has been compromised. Due to the busy Christmas sales and larger than average Internet purchases this year, credit-card companies estimate any illegitimate charges should be found by Second-Quarter 2013. A Visa representative who asked to remain anonymous added, "We ask our customers to pay any discrepancies, and the amount will be held until the dispute has been rectified."
    In recent news, the stock market plummetted to an all-time low yesterday due to an erroneous document being forwarded via email between Stock Brokers. Contained within the said document was sensitive information regarding the financial records of several companies who will remain nameless. The origin of the document is unknown, however sources say it could have been sabatage by the group of hackers at large currently.

    In my opinion, completely changing Windows(tm), would remove the one reason why a lot of people buy it.


    Oh?

    Windows 3.11
    Windows 95
    Windows NT
    Windows 2000
    Windows XP

    All of those versions of windows *advertised* backwards compatibility, however alot of times it wasn't.

    Hell, alot of times it would have technically worked, but a dialog box popped up saying you are not running the right operating system.

  8. Re:What? Admit to Spying? on Bringing Echelon In From the Cold · · Score: 1

    I agree with you... as it stands, the american gov't (multilevel conglamerate it is) has the ability to sniff out potential "civil disobedience" and eliminate any issues that could occur quite easily. Look at just recently with all the FBI activity related to Militias. (NOT active ones, either.. ones that gathered in case it was necessary to gain our rights back)

    Basically, they've made it illegal to gather together as a militia now, which in it's own is unconstitutional.

    See, that's why it's cheaper, it's a completely different processor.

    Try to stay within the same realm... we're not talking about Athlon vs. Intel here, we're talking PreBuilt vs. Build-Your-Own.

    Athlon 1800 == Intel 1.8ghz (roughly) ?

    Intel chips are ~200 retail, 130-150 online. (256k l2 cache models) A comparable motherboard would be about 50-70 bucks. So, it's roughly the same I guess...

    Okay, I'll shutup now.
