An attack on Fox News. Daring. Bold. Original. I think the more classical approach would have been to work in "faux" somewhere in there, as it lends an air of sophistication to the attach. But I see the path you took - it's said but it's unsaid, it lets the reader snicker to himself and think "faux", allowing them to simmer in the self-congratulatory funk of thinking in French.
Bound to be controversial, but I like the cut of your jib!
I get that you think you're snarky and whatnot, that's all very well. The problem is these little turds are going after government systems and committing various crimes that could cost lives, in a few extreme cases.
Amazingly, they can still go after terrorists, though rape - not really FBI's purview but I get the joke. Which particular rich bastards who stole millions from which specific retirement funds, btw?
Lol, these assholes modded you Flamebait despite you being 100% correct. Anyone can justify their treason with any kind of bullshit, and the "I hate America" types will lap it up and make some sophist fucking excuses about how he was serving the greater good. Meanwhile, he just released embarrassing stuff, it's not like he found out the President was performing obscene medical experiments on US citizens or something.
These idiots just confuse treason with whistleblowing, that's all.
What a load of silly shit. Literally every sentence you just wrote is idiotic and counter-factual - congratulations moron.
What's funniest about you stupid "it's a tarp!" assholes is that fundamentally you can't alter the fact that he's giving away huge amounts of his money to charitable donations. What's even funnier is you _try_ to explain it away with some whacky "oh, but he's making money off it somehow" explanation, when in fact he clearly doesn't.
Just face it - you're a nobody who this world will forget in 100 years, just like me. Unlike you, however, I don't have to try to minimize the efforts of someone who history will remember for a long, long time to make myself feel better about it.
Contrary to Jobs' statements, they don't want competition and they learned their lesson back in the early Mac Vs. PC days when they got their lunch eaten by a bunch of nobody OEMs churning out cheap PCs. Apple's model is not sustainable, and it's even less sustainable when people aren't flush with disposable income. Any moron could have predicted Apple would be in trouble years ago - they're one company trying to make one model of phone (which is just an iPod with a 3G chip) versus numerous Android vendors each innovating.
Way to tie yourselves to some oddball implementation forever. In 5 years they'll be regretting the hell out of this decision. They should have invested the time and money in improving the algorithm and implementation, and thrown commodity hardware at the problem. Hardware will improve over time and it becomes an off the shelf improvement, not some horrible one-off solution they're stuck with barring great expense and yet another complete reworking.
The company that did this for them, however, was god damn smart. Guaranteed revenue to develop, support, and migrate off of this over time.
This is why the market crashed - these "smartest guys in the room" aren't so smart sometimes.
Wasn't Google one of the companies crybabying about Microsoft's "monopoly"? I find this satisfyingly hilarious. Ordinarily I'd side with Google in this matter, unless you have control over a physically limited resource you don't have a real monopoly. But in this case I'll make an exception - nail Google to the cross, Johnny Trust Busters!
Mobile gaming sucks. Who wants to look at some little 4" (or even 7-10") screen and use wierdo controls. The only thing mobile gaming has going for it is..it's mobile and you can use it to waste time when you don't have access to a real game on a real system.
The added bonus of $250,000 makes for a sweeter deal while the University saves about 50% in annual email operating costs (from $1 million to $500,000).
They are getting $250k to make the transition _and_ paying 1/2 of what they were paying. It's not rocket surgery to see they come out ahead barring some colossal fuckup. Nothing in your theory is based on fact, you're just presenting FUD.
They're in 4th place and they have a boatload of money and willpower, and the best development platform. They're by no means leading the pack but "irrelevant" is just one of those words neckbeards use because it makes them feel like they're dismissive of the most successful software company in history.
Odd, the school is paying $250k a year for it. Oh, never mind - you didn't read the article and are just trying to score cool points with other neckbeards. Carry on.
Unless my alarm company is also "paying me $300" by installing my monitoring equipment for free and 3 months of free service so I will then pay them a monthly, 2 year contract guaranteed amount of $30.
The University is paying for the service, but getting free services and a discount. Article makes it sound like Microsoft is paying them to use Office 365, which is untrue.
Obscure nobodies who think they are really sticking it to Microsoft by calling them "irrelevant" crack me up. It's like some obscure NBA forward saying Michael Jordan had "become irrelevant" in 1995.
You can claim they're many things, but claiming they're "irrelevant" just makes you look bitter and silly, or badly out of touch with reality.
God damn I love reading those things. All those fucking synonyms they use to distinguish one sound from another (when in fact it's the same fucking sound) just crack me up. Maybe we let them do it because they amuse us so much, and do we really care if stupid people waste their money?
No. It's a bit like saying you can get a CAT 5 cable and expect it to match the specs that define a CAT 5 cable. If the cable meets the HDMI signalling requirements, it meets them.
Ahh, is there anything better than a hilareview on Amazon? I mean, the hours of laughs I get from imagining some dweeb spending 30 minutes coming up with those hilarious fake reviews just sends me into fits of hilarity.
I wonder how feasible injecting it directly into the tumor is. They need some kind of delivery agent that's preferentially absorbed by cancer cells, then you can just take a pill, walk into a magnetic field, and presto curo.
The same goes for the assertion that illegals want to gain access to social services. They do not, they want jobs. I've never met an illegal immigrant who came here to get free services. These ideas you are spouting about the intentions of illegal immigrants are not based in reality.
You don't know what you're talking about, so your claims of racism mean less than they would coming from someone who does - which also means 0. You're effectively asserting that simple, provable facts are "racist". Go to a school in a poor neighborhood in Phoenix and figure out how many kids are children of illegals. Go follow someone from CPS around and find out how many illegal parents are receiving services for their kids. Illegals don't get services directly, they get them for their children. That's what an "anchor baby" is - the kid is a US citizen so can get a bunch of services.
Unmotivated people? Really I just don't know what the hell you're all on about. Are you from Connecticut or Oregon or something? A lot of them come to work, that's cool. Fine them and give them legal status. The rest need a boot up the ass.
Sure - it's not the biggest problem facing the country by any stretch in the near term or even mid-term, but it's one of the biggest in the long term.
In short, you have the clueless bleeding heart's perspective. Oh, the romantic illegals, coming here because they want to just better themselves and their families. How wonderful... 80% of them do indeed, it's that 20% that will fuck you. And frankly I don't give a shit about the 80% either unless it's in our best interests. Sometimes it is - so issue more work visas.
So let me get this straight. Poor Mexicans (a nationality, btw, not a race) are not more prone to coming across the border and spitting out anchor babies? That's amazing news. I'll tell my friend those leaches she has to deal with in the ghettos are actually Canadians!
It's not about race, it's about poor people. No sane person wants poor people flooding across the border.
And fuck yes I'm worried about the "middle class" too. You get the double whammy there. They want their free shit when they get older, and they feel guilty so they vote money for the poor too.

You outed yourself as a neckbeard twit when you used the phrase "convicted monopolist".

Yeah, because Microsoft hires dummies and pays them shitty wages, you know? Here's a clue: You wouldn't make the cut in a Microsoft hiring process.

Lol, outrageous claim? What outrageous claim? The laughable claim is that there exist botnets which can't be taken down. The very idea is silly.

Ahh, if only a kickback was what you appear to think it is. A kickback would be if the person making the decision was personally paid $250k.
This is actually a discount or incentive, and part of doing business.
The summary is a lie, and even if it wasn't there's nothing wrong with a cash incentive anyway unless you can prove they are dumping.
Considering that they are going to pay 1/2 the yearly licensing fee, umm... yes, we will and it's true.
Unless my alarm company is also "paying me $300" by installing my monitoring equipment for free and 3 months of free service so I will then pay them a monthly, 2 year contract guaranteed amount of $30.
