Microsoft is releasing software that detects and deletes anything open-source. This is for concerned parents who fear their children might be experimenting in the dangers of open source and / or anything not tainted by Microsoft.
If I hear innovations out of MS's mouth one more time I swear...
All of the innovative features I've heard about in the up coming ms poo (read: vista) is that it will have a cleaner gui (read: like aqua) allow for icons to be representative of what they contain (like osx) and genie like effects for minimizing things (like osx)
It's such a buzz word these days.
the only innovation I see is copying other peoples stuff, and suing the pants off of anyone who even glances at theirs.
I bet all 7 versions of vista blow.
And what's worse, I'll probably still end up using it at work.
Today at work I was talking shit about vista. . . imagine that. A co-worker said "I can't wait for the new internet explorer!" and was serious.
I asked why, and he said "because it's going to be awesome!". again he was serious. I almost vomited.
I had to hear the rest, so I asked why it would be awesome. "its going to have tabbed browsing and other cool stuff!"
What other cool stuff I asked. "Stuff" was his reply.
Being excited about tabbed browsing is like getting excited because the new '06 Lexus will have a bose tape deck

> so much that people feel the need to complain
I feel the problem is that lots of people tend to complain about everything.
Somewhere along the line, people took "the right to pursuit happiness" and changed it to "the right to happiness". People feel that are guaranteed certain things, by default, and if they aren't happy, then there is someone somewhere who's at fault. Certainly not themselves. So if they don't feel relief the moment the leave the doctor, they complain, or a doctor tells them they are fat, they sue because it's not what they want to hear, it's not them being happy. It's someone else fault, so join me in pointing the finger.
I'd be the first to tell people about my security flaws, hell i'd advertise them. I'm just going to make some half-ass excuse and blame someone else anyway. at least thats what all the k00l keds do dez d4yz.
Something about companies that have numerals in their names just makes them seem so reputable and trustworthy! I'm gonna sell my house and buy a butt-load of stock in them!!
And where does Massachusetts rank? Way down the list. Tied with the liberal sewer pits of Georgia and South Carolina:
In your post you listed Illinois as 9.8, Georgia 9.8, Mass. 9.8 and SC at 9.7
So technically, by your own numbers Mass. is tied with Illinois and Georgia, yet you failed to insult Illinois.
They are a state too, and deserve to be spit on by all other states too.
In the future, please always remember to insult Illinois.
Seriously, how cool would that be. everyone, i mean EVERYONE loved paper boy. imagine a 3rd person paperboy who, of all things, delivered papers! and when you aren't doing that, you're organizing the local neighborhood kids into a gang! and when your gang takes over new 'hoods, you have more papers to deliver!
Instead of guns, you have papers, and you have to manage delivering papers and throwing papers as weopons. plus you earn money, and you can upgrade your bike, maybe even to include pegs, which you could have other paperboys/gang-members ride on. then you can upgrade that to have razor pegs like you see on chariots races, that cut rival paperboys/gangmembers legs off as you roll by them! that would be sweet
It really seems like ms has a great business strategy. "Why compete with quality products when you can simply put out ambiguous and broad patents on pretty much everything?"
Seriously they other day they got a patent for highlighting text in a box to make it stand out.
everyone talks about how this seriously limits innovation. Did anyone else notice that every thing that comes out of a ms rep's mouth includes how "innovative" microsoft is?
Its like they see EVERTYTHING they do as a golden shower on the people, who in turn are all better off because of ms and its glory. when really that golden shower is pee. their arrogance is amazing. Displaying text in a box so that it stands out is not innovative. That's like a toddler trying to patent poo-ing in his/her pants. In fact it's just like that; shit.
If you could find a way to safely poo out gasoline cheaper than $3.00 a gallon, I would patent that. Until then, quit patenting shit.
I also love how Cash Money Bill smiles so big every time he's on the news or some show. "I made microsoft, I'm so great, you owe your happyness to me". It's so arrogant I just want to throw poo at him.
They should patent good things that they come up with, not set quotas to make 60 patents a month. Quality, not quantity you evil narcissist.
I'm going to be like ms and patent physically crossing the street be it by any physical means. You may cross any street for a small fee. this applies to all roads, highways, trails and anything of the path-like nature
Max Payne DID make me buy Max Payne II. Unbeknownst to me at the time, that MP II actually originated-in-my-butt and then made its way to retail stores shelves. The desire to once again dodge bullets in slow-mo while ripping my enemies to shreds with my own thrall of bullets was just too tempting. I was, your honor, drunk with the idea of being as badass as the Max of Payne himself. I could not resist the sequel, and it has since found its way into a pond.
My friends ask "why not burn the game, make it suffer"
"No" I say, for "burning is the way of the warrior. Max Payne II was a pussy. He is doomed to a watery death, where fish will poo on him"
In conclusion: I would never shoot someone, in slow-mo or not, REGARDLESS if I have the juice to engage my slow-mo or not. But video games do make me do stuff.
Another example : FFX. A- game. FFx2? 'nuff said
Of course you must first validate that you are using a GENUINE Microsoft operating system.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was pro-bono by Microsoft (or some scandalous way of getting some microslave do it)
The old way of 60 patents a month just wasn't cutting it, now with an IE method, they can bump up to 90.
Seriously who patents clicking of the mouse. Software patents blow.
Not just written responses, but justifications!
Smart to make it writing though, seriously, who knows how to write these days? I mean, with their hands? Who does that...? Why don't I just 'hunt' my ramen noodles with a spear I made myself, and then 'grow' my own coffee?
. ..only permitting people who drive stationwagons to enter the postoffice parking lot?
What genius CIO thought it would be a good idea to limit people who can use this to one, albeit large, sect of people?
If I said "hey boss, lets make a great web app, but lets only let MSIE people use it because I'm incapable of making it available to more than one browser and MSIE is the whore of internet browsers and lets anything in" he would laugh at me. Then fire me. And then laugh a lot more. And then have a heart attack, but that's just my CIO...
"I'm sorry ma'am, you can only apply for a patent if you only have 1 leg."
"But I have two legs, its much more effiecient and I'm much more stable!"
"Two legs huh? That's nice but my give-a-shit is broken today, so you're going to have to handicap yourself like everyone else to use this. And you have to get in the back of the line."
Maybe this is good. Maybe all the nations that could actually stand up to us will put weapons up there too. Then instead of war on earth, we could have robotic war in space. Which, really, would look like fireworks to people on earth.
We could settle international disputes and get a good show at the same time!
It's Win-Win.
That is until the newtypes build mobile suits and crash a colony into earth and that big 'normals vs. newtyes' war breaks out.
I guess the world is just tired of fighting on 'Earth'. It's so yesterday. Naval battles? Jungle warfare? Dessert power? That's lame, lets blow each other up in space!

but lazyness always pays off now
. . . So can I take those and get laid every time I hit on a girl?
I just realized my own comment was really f*ing stupid
something about claiming to be, or that something will be, hip, makes them un-hip.
The moment you annouce you are hip, are are un-hip-ified. ergo, awareness of one's hip-ness is ok, however thou shall not speak of it.
or i could sum it up with "the first rule of hip club is you do not talk about hip club"
If they could arrange a crossover with some tentacles bent on world domination.
