If you want to get rid of IE and make it utterly unusable, enable Content Advisor, set it to the most restrictive settings and password it. Nothing will get through unless you personally authorise it.
You forgot the best link of all...twitter's wife. She looks like she crashed into the ugly tree. Twitter must be desperate, altho he probably put off all those other girls with his constant bollocks about not opening up their pussies and condom$ being evil.
Look, six years might be a long time for Vista, but look at the flipside; if it had been released in 2003, people would have complained about it being rushed. At least they're making an effort to make sure something's going to look right before the world before making a commitment to it, unlike you and your wife.
Well said. If I told my brother that he couldn't use Flash, Sibelius, sound in web pages or a proper MSN client because it's HIS FAULT for wanting any of those things I would get punched in the face.

The whole friggin' thing needs a revamp. Their code is falling apart. I mean, just today, new mail notifications weren't working. How can something as simple as a new mail notification spontaneously break, especially on a 24/7 service?
I got my brother on Linux. Slapped Ubuntu on it, ran fine, but he doesn't like it because:
The MSN Messenger client is terrible. Still the best available (aMSN) but still terrible. Jabber, for anyone thinking it is, is not an alternative in any way.
It doesn't run any of his games or software (they need MIDI and so won't run through Wine, if under Linux at all). There are alternatives, but with what I've seen of them they suck massive balls.
Sound in webpages doesn't work for him (you might say "Good!" but come on, he's a teenager, it's what teenagers do.)
Flash is a piece of shitty shitting shit on Linux and is completely unfit for purpose. This, by the way, is nothing to do with it being closed source, it's more to do with Macrodobe being cunts.
Until ALL OF THE ABOVE are fixed he wouldn't touch Linux willingly in a million years.
As reporting, blogs can be quite valuable, so long as you're looking for specialised stuff like an eye on the ground in Beirut or something. I can see a use there. As a general news source to read while drinking your morning coffee, they aren't all that useful, and indeed probably entirely unsuitable.
Oh yeah, I frequently call Tesco (biggest British supermarket, competitor of who I work for) Tossco. Ha ha ha. Even I consider that a crime against puns.
Calling the Daily Mail the Daily Fail however is all mine. Daily Wail? Puh-lease.
The thing is though that blogs aren't a news source. They are, at best, a collection of other news sources filtered through the bias of whoever owns the blog. They cannot do worldwide reporting in the way actual news sources can.
I am SICK of hearing about blogs being a news source. SICK SICK SICK.
It is not going to happen. Sorry. There will never be some golden age where an Internet fucking diary is the world's favourite news source. The idea, in my mind, is fundamentally retarded in so many different ways. I would really love to hear some decent reasons as to why the filtering of CNN through some 20-year-old's head like some shitty drip coffee (a.k.a. "the media of the people") is better than the BBC, who are at least law bound to be as impartial as possible, because as far as I'm concerned there aren't any.

Do you have a wife?
I'm so glad you asked.
Yes. I'm paid by Microsoft. Of course. God, you're delusional, twitter, you really are.
Shouldn't that be "$talker"?
Pwned. Utterly, and hard.
Oh yeah, Twitter's wife needs a mention.
Maybe if you skinned your wife so she didn't look so fugly, you wouldn't be so bitter.
Rockbox, one day, might be able to Purge your Zune.
Looking at your wife makes my stomach purge itself.

If you think that's funny, check his website.
Because you can't secure Windoze
You can. My Windows is running fine.
btw, did you make your wife wear a paper bag when you were conceiving that incubus of yours? Would make sense.

They bloody well did take the Sky. :S

CD audio is what 128K AAC becomes after it's uncompressed
No it's not. That's not how lossy formats work.
Very much doubt it. How would you recognise another moron round here?
I'll bet there'll be someone who says we have so many slang words for masturbation because we're a bunch of wankers...

Some might say that using an iPod is masochism enough without all the leather shit ;)
(note: not me. I like my iPod. Just not putting videos onto it from DVDs, what a pain...)

because we are advanced, modern intellectuals
Or so you think.
