  3. A 1990s classic joke on Forbes Blasts Latests Windows 7 Patch as Malware · · Score: 2

    With the recent problems being encountered by Windows users all across the country, people are begin to ask themselves if windows is a virus. In response to the high demand for an answer to that question a study was done and concluded the following.

    1. Viruses replicate quickly.
    Windows does this.

    2. Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so.
    Windows does this.

    3. Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk.
    Windows does this.

    4. Viruses are usually carried, unkown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems.
    Windows does that too.

    5. Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware.
    Same with Windows, yet again.

    Maybe Windows really is a virus.

    Nope! There is a difference!

    Viruses are well supported by their authors, are frequently updated, and tend to become more sophisticated as they mature. So there! Windows is not a virus.

  7. Re:Wait, 314 million per year? on Mozilla's 2013 Report: Revenue Up 1% To $314M; 90% From Google · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding me? IE's interface is utter shit, as bad as Chrome. At least on Firefox you can set it up to a modicum of normalcy, especially with the Classic Theme Restorer add-on.

    Nowadays it's not called UI, but UX. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that interfaces are turning into shit.

  9. Been there, done that on Intel Planning Thumb-Sized PCs For Next Year · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So, just like any of the countless ARM-based Android mini-PCs that are already out there right now. Except this is quite more expensive.

  10. Re:More detailed ratings are a good thing on Sweden Considers Adding "Sexism" Ratings To Video Games · · Score: 1

    They sweep it under the rug because most violent crimes in Sweden, particularly rape, are committed by the tiny minority of Muslim immigrants -- and no one wants to be labeled a racist or xenophobe.

    True. I'm puzzled that no one has sued the bastard. I doubt there was ever a more blatant case of breach of fiduciary duty.

    Good grief. "Abstinence-only sex education" is like swimming lessons where they teach nothing but how to stay out of the water.

    A little font change is far from the worst change in Yosemite. Now many apps now do not have a title bar!

    Whatever imbecile made that decision has absolutely no place in interface design.

    People always mention that mouse... but fail to mention that the original iMac's keyboard was also utter shit. I mean $5 Chinese no-brand awful. Particularly sad when you remember how good their old Extended II was.

    You call being assaulted, beaten up, raped, and occasionally murdered by your girlfriend or wife, winning?

    Fixed that for you. Domestic abuse of men by women is as common and as violent as the other way around.

    Alimony delinquency is not a trivial problem in this country when men excercise the option to leave their responsibilities at the state line.

    Alimony is an absurd concept in the first place. What do I owe to someone with whom I no longer have a relationship?
