    Guess you're not familiar with the ability to emulate a cam and decrypt nagravision at the same time, no cards required using your PC. Works for BEV too.

    Last time I deposited money into my account that a sender sent me, I recall it mentioning a fee that will be charged to the receiver. Something like $2.50

  4. My complaint about Microsoft on Dear Microsoft Windows ... · · Score: 0, Troll

    While no statement I'm about to make should be construed as suggesting or recommending that any person commit an illegal act of any kind, you should realize that a true enemy is better than a false friend. Note that some of the facts I plan to use in this letter were provided to me by a highly educated person who managed to escape Microsoft's deceitful, crass indoctrination and is consequently believable. Unless Microsoft should promote a culture of dependency and failure because "it's the right thing to do", it is simply wrong to conclude that disgusting, anal-retentive ruffians are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive. It strikes me as amusing that Microsoft complains about people who do nothing but complain. Well, news flash! It does nothing but complain. "Tolerance" means tolerance of all, not only of a select few. I don't think anyone questions that. But did you know that it spews out so many falsehoods, distortions, and half-truths, that rebuttal requires some lengthy documentation?

    Microsoft possesses no significant intellectual skills whatsoever and has no interest in erudition. Heck, it can't even spell or define "erudition", much less achieve it. Contrast, for example, Microsoft's inveracities with those of meddlesome hippies, and observe that there is no contrast. I, by (genuine) contrast, take the view that Microsoft wonders why everyone hates it. Apparently, it never stopped to think that maybe it's because I indisputably wouldn't want to scupper my initiative to reinforce notions of positive self esteem. I would, on the other hand, love to pronounce the truth and renounce the lies. But, hey, I'm already doing that with this letter.

    If I didn't think Microsoft would undermine the intellectual purpose of higher education, I wouldn't say that time cannot change its behavior. Time merely enlarges the field in which Microsoft can, with ever-increasing intensity and thoroughness, violate strongly held principles regarding deferral of current satisfaction for long-term gains. Microsoft keeps saying that it is a bearer and agent of the Creator's purpose. For some reason, Microsoft's trained seals actually believe this nonsense. Microsoft dreams of a time when they'll be free to control, manipulate, and harm other people. That's the way it's planned it, and that's the way it'll happen -- not may happen, but will happen -- if we don't interfere, if we don't tell you things that it doesn't want you to know. To be blunt, many people respond to Microsoft's grotesque campaigns in the same way that they respond to television dramas. They watch them; they talk about them; but they feel no overwhelming compulsion to do anything about them. That's why I insist we stand uncompromised in a world that's on the brink of Microsoft-induced disaster.

    At the risk of repeating myself, I must reiterate that it's Microsoft's belief that my letters demonstrate a desire to restructure the social, political, and economic relationships throughout the entire society. I can't understand how anyone could go from anything I ever wrote to such an illaudable idea. In fact, my letters generally make the diametrically opposite claim, that Microsoft can't fool me. I've met superstitious, pompous maggots before, so I know that while we do nothing, those who spit on sacred icons are gloating and smirking. And they will keep on gloating and smirking until we bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the current debate. Yes, I realize that even the most rigorous theoretical framework Microsoft could put forward would not leave it in the position of generalizing with the certainty to which it is prone in its politics, but for the sake of brevity I've had to express myself in simplified terms. No one likes being attacked by the worst classes of neurotic, cranky urban guerrillas there are. Even worse, Microsoft exploits our fear of those attacks -- which it claims will evolve sooner or later into biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks -- as a pretext to create a world without history, without philosophy, wit
