Really? You can't think of *one* real-world situation that requires more than 3 rounds? Here's a hint: it's the most popular activity associated with guns. It's not hunting, and it's not shooting bad guys, and it typically uses dozens - and many times hundreds - of rounds each time this activity is undertaken.

You mean you can click a button hidden several layers deep in an obscure settings menu, then wait a few hours for an incomplete archive containing only content from the last month to be emailed to you? That's amazing.
Maybe it's just a news overload today, but I read that as "Ammunition Is Making Unions Irrelevant", and wondered just what kind of contract negotiation tactics had brought that realization on.
I'm happy that operating systems other than Windows aren't in danger of triggering a runaway quantum baryonic flux reversal capable of eradicating all carbon based lifeforms within an ellipsoid with a semi-principal axis of four point one six light years.
I'm not saying that Windows will do any of that, because everyone knows that's a load of crap, but I am very happy to loudly state that every operating system other than Windows won't.
Yes, I know. MATE and Cinnamon aren't in the official repositories yet, but that's only a matter of getting a bigger hammer.
To be fair, there is a big difference between having a desktop environment and window manager which run on a system and having all of its features fully integrated and supported. I can quite happily run FVWM on my desktop, but things start getting awkward when I run an application which expects to find a dock or notification area from Gnome.
I just wanted to say that I was very excited when I first heard the phrase "Freedom Toaster", but felt sad and let down when I found out that it was actually a CD writer.
Is there any way that toasted bread can be used bring about individual liberty?

True, but how many of us actually make squirrels fly, anyway?
I don't believe Crete is part of the story at all. I believe you mean cretin. And I believe history is a tad more complicated than thugs & cretins.
Or the Thugee and the Cretans, for that matter.

Perhaps you could extend that a little bit and call it a Five Year Plan.
That would inspire confidence.
Congratulations, great analogy! And I wonder, how is this legal?
While it is traditional for Slashdot comments to be filled with twisted and pointless car analogies, there really isn't any law against good ones.
Yes, but remember to be kind to the natives.
We do not even pretend to be impartial now?
The title obviously should be
> Greenspun: Windows 8: a 'Christmas Gift For Someone You Hate'
But that kind of thinking can lead to Colon Cancer.
no, its not. Because now you can type movie names and have it find it on netflix
That sounds like a brilliant idea, and I'm sure that all users will embrace it without reservation.
Careful. You might mess up your excellent karma by pointing out his duplicity.
Receiving Windows 8 as a Christmas gift should illicit a reaction like Chris Farley had
Plenty of things that Chris Farley did were illicit, but that word doesn't mean what you think it does..
Admit it, Bruce. This is all just an elaborate setup to excuse you for using the word "Microserfs".
How about complete audio recordings of all phone calls, and copies of every piece of mail delivered?
Or did you try that before, and ran into some trouble with the Supreme Court, the Fourth Ammendment, and a planet full of Ewoks over forty years ago?
By my calculations you need only the last two :)
Then what am I supposed to do with this rolled up carpet and all these bags of quicklime?
I love automated translation.
Just wait until you see the server version of Blue, "Windows Skynet".

As it is unreliable, buggy, and just plain wrong.
Indeed. If something is going to be wrong, I prefer that it have sprinkles on top. Plain wrong is just boring.
That all you got?

TWM, on the other hand, runs as fast as ever and has no need for useless cruft.
All you kids with your Gee-nomes and Kiddums and Ex-feeces can just get off my lawn.
The USA circa 1980-2012 wants you to know that the more you resist, the more it will hurt.
Your borders, your sovereignty, don't mean shit.
USA circa 1980-2012? The Roman Empire circa AD 234-410 says Hi, and wonders if you chose to learn from history or go with the alternative.

DuckDuckGo is 3 syllables, composed of already existing words, and doesn't really stand out in a positive way.
On the other hand, the parody title for a porn search engine practically writes itself. You can't say that about "Google" or "Bing".
I use a search called LlamaLlamaLlamaLlamaDingDong.
It finds everything for me. LlamaLlamaLlamaLlamaDingDong.
It gets me stuff for free. For it's mine, all mine.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Worst pick-up line ever.
