  1. Re:just silly on Microsoft Sued Over Vista-To-XP Downgrade Fees · · Score: 1

    This would be like suing ford or gm for not continuing to keep last years engines for sale in new cars... this is just silly.

    It would be more like Ford telling a car dealership that they cannot sell last year's model (which they have in stock) to a customer who wants it. Instead, they need to sell the new model to the customer first, and only then can they sell the old model (so long as the customer gets rid of the new model first).

    Yes, this is just silly (but in a different way than your comment suggested).

    To access the Secret Sun Layer, you must first kill Baal. After you have killed Baal (making sure the quest has been completed), you can access the Secret Sun Layer.

    Or, for those of us who don't like waiting, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A will get you there faster.

    Most people born after 1980 are treated like shit in the IT industry. So are most people born before 1980.


    So are most people born before 1980.


    It's all due to those bastards who were all born IN 1980!

    I hate them so much....

    I know we were using these on a message board in 1979-1980 at a community college in Michigan prior to then. I might even be able to dig some of it up as I printed off a lot of messages back then and may still have them in an old computer paper box.


    Rather odd anyone would lay a claim to inventing it.

    As odd as, say, someone keeping printouts of 25+ year old conversations from community college message boards? ;)
