    There is just no right answer to "Does this dress make me look fat?" If you say yes, you are being mean. She is mad, and you are in the doghouse. If you say no, you are lying to her.

  8. Slaughtering a sacred cow on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    I know the fanboys are going to kill this, but I had to have my say. Linux is way too complicated for the average PC user. First, there are too many distros. Then, you have to pick a desktop. KDE or GNOME or other? That's just too much. To make matters worse, Linux is made by thousands and thousands of undirected tinkerers around the world who do everything their own way, so things only work worth a damn for them. When people giving Linux a try look to the online community for help, they get told how stupid they are and asked why they even have a computer. I wouldn't be surprised if the Linux dorks were doing The Church Lady's "I'm Superior" dance while berating the n00bs. Don't agree? DON'T MOD, RESPOND!

  12. Re:Answering my own question, sort of on The Computer Virus Turns 25 in July · · Score: 3, Funny
    You forgot Monkeypoo!

    VIRUS WARNING:

    Attention: Computer Labs Inc., makers of Virucide antivirus software have identified a highly dangerous new Trojan worm, MONKEYPOO. It will usually appear in an e-mail with the subject, "Congratulations.You have won!" it will then prompt you to click a link to collect your cash prize. It can also freely spread across networks.

    Monkeypoo will read your address book, and mail a copy of itself to every address it finds, and it will look like you sent it. It will then invoke the secret self-destruct command held over from the original IBM PC's 8086 command set. This short line of code will cause the processor, ram, hard drive and any floppy drives to spin out of control and overheat until key components melt together, and will most likely cause a fire.

    James Winklee, a former IBM programmer had this to say. "We developed the self-destruct code so government agencies such as the FBI and CIA could quickly and completely destroy compromised computer systems before an enemy could get their hands on classified information. When we saw how violently a PC executing the command burst into flames, we decided not to publish its existence. It has been kept a secret successfully until now. If you get infected with the Monkeypoo Trojan worm, you may notice your computer going completely haywire. Physically unplug it from power as fast as you can, and send it in for repair. Only a professional can remove this one."

    While Computer Labs Inc and other antivirus software makers are working on a solution, they haven't got one a home user could successfully run yet. "This is the worst kind of malicious code I have ever seen." said Marcus Polan of Computer labs Inc. Use extreme caution.

    It is important that as many computer users as possible receive this warning, so send it out to as many people as you can. The entire Internet and every PC connected to it is at risk.

  15. Re:Nope. on 2008 - Year of Linux Desktop? · · Score: -1, Troll

    True. If you do decide to try Linux in spite of the unavailability of most commercial software, first you will have to pick one of the 73,000,000,000 distros. If that weren't enough, Linux is made by countless undirected tinkerers around the world who are not coordinating their efforts in any way, and program things to work in ways that make sense only to them. This is why Linux only works worth a damn for them.

    Try to find help online, and you will get unsociable dorks and dweebs telling you how stupid you are, and asking why you even own a computer while doing The Church Lady's "I'm Superior" dance. That is for the birds! If you are tired of Microsoft's crap, get a Mac.

  22. Re:Help us serve you better on RIAA Uses Local Cops In Oregon Raid · · Score: 1

    The level of hatred against the RIAA is so intense, that there will be a backlash against anything they do or say. They have gone out of their way to earn these ill feelings, which haven't been seen since the 19th century, when railroads and banks were so hated, that people who robbed them became folk heros. Personally, I think calling the cops on counterfeiters, not picking on kids online, is what the recording industry should have been doing all along. They just need to use real cops, not impersonate the cops. That, too is illegal, and you might get killed by a gangbanger trying to protect his turf. Counterfeit goods are a big profit center for organized crime.
