    Personally, I quit dating American women completely. They're just completely out of control of themselves. Foreign women only need apply.

    But why ONLY "sexual offenders" (which includes anyone arrested for taking a leak in the park, or as happened to an acquaintance of mine, looking at porn, on a laptop, IN HIS CAR). It's completely out of hand. It's all part of the feminist's (and their willing tool-boys) demonization of men as a class...and NOTHING else.

    In the real world, I'm a recall campaign coordinator in a shirt and tie, sitting in the dark with a mouthfull of blood and changing the overheads and slides as my boss tells Microsoft how he chose a particular shade of pale cornflower blue for an icon.
    This is from the book, in case you're wondering; if I remember, the chickened out in the film and didn't make the guy a MS rep. This will give A times B times C equals X a totally new twist every time I see that film ...

    What "innovation" has MS actually produced?

    Deceptive contracts

    Near-Universal Acceptance of buggy shitware

    Distruction of the free market by punishing any vendor who sold any non-MS OS

    other illegal shenanigans

    insipid documentation which is technically correct, but tells you NOTHING that you didn't already know

    So then, what you're saying, is that in XP, Microsoft has finally implemented proper OS design strategies that the REST of the computing industry figured out in the 1960's.

    GM does everything on 8-bit Motorola 68HC11 single-chip microcomputers.

    Before that, they were using 4-bit microcontrollers (upgraded about 5 years ago--and went from using assembly to C at the same time).

    You obviously have ZERO experience in the automotive industry.

    Time schedules MUST be met.

    Waiting 18 months for Microsoft to even ADMIT that a bug exists, let alone start to even INVESTIGATE how to fix it DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARD.

    No automobile manufacturer can afford to wait two model years for Gates and his baboons to get off their lazy asses and clean up their shit.

    Why should companies choose PROVEN responsibility-evaders like Microsoft? When has Microsoft EVER taken financial responsibility for the failure of any of their products?

    a) never

    B) NEVER

    When has Microsoft EVER advertised that, as part of the deal when a company purchases their product, the customer also gets reassurance that Microsoft will take financial responsibility for the failure of their product?

    So having a legitimate company support you over an obscure horde of sweaty hackers who just tells you to RTFM does not count as a reason?

    Your statement is made on the provably false presumption that Mickeysoft provides meaningful support.

    They DON'T, and you know it.

    In contrast, ANYONE can get extremely good support via USENET (which, even at $5/month from commercial providers such as Altopia for access is essentially free).

    And not only that, but with Linux, you KNOW who wrote what...so you can even contact the author of the code if you want....FOR FREE!

    What better support can you get than that?

    From Sun or HP, that kind of support costs $thousands/month, and as mentioned before, that support is UNAVAILABLE AT ANY COST from Mafiasoft.

    What if it's a plain old bug in the fucking driver? What was I thinking, as we all know, the only developers with bugs in their code are Microsoft Developers. Everyone else writes perfect code. Thank you for explaining PERFECTLY why Microsofts DESIGN is the root of the problem. Other than motherboard chipsets and disk drive controllers, HARDWARE DRIVERS have NO BUSINESS being in the kernal space. They belong in users space. In PROPERLY designed Operating Systems, a buggy web-cam driver won't take down the whole freaking OS. Only in Windows is that stupid shit tolerated by the herd of stupid cheerleaders such as yourself.

    If everyone else can manage to write a printer driver that doesn't send the computer into fits of hysterics, why must it be Microsoft's fault? Because a PROPERLY DESIGNED OS doesn't PRINTER drivers in the kernal---a PROPERLY DESIGNED operating system has printer drives in USER SPACE.

    If the driver weren't in the kernal, then a driver bug wouldn't crash the whold freaking machine.

    Truer than you would believe. I worked with INS at a Port of Entry during Operation Noble Eagle (border security) while INS and Customs were waiting for officers to double their manpower at the POE's to get through school. At the inspection booth, some lanes are wide enough for large trucks....so, when there are only cars in line, we put out cones to funnel the driver to the side of the lane closest to the inspectors booth. A good 80-90% of the drivers that ran over 3-foot tall orange cones...while travelling at 2 mph or less...were women. It was absolutely amazing--the utter and complete lack of 3-dimensional cognizence that they displayed. Another thing I noticed...(this was at the Detroit-Windsor crossing)... there are STOP signs to seperate the "quarantine zone" from the line behind it. Although vehicles with Ohio license plates constituted about 5% of the traffic, they were easily 90%-95% of the vehicles which completely failed to obey the STOP signs. Am I off-topic yet? Hello? Anybody there?
