Nono, this article is about drawing the line between security and usability, which (if you still take Microsoft into the equation) would make the resulting graph look like this.
Security | Usability
====================
Microsoft
There you have it.:P
(Notice the fine line between security and usability and the thick, fat, blocking line between the former two and Microsoft products.)
My personal favourite is this:
Aren't you just trying to eliminate comments and discourse that you consider to be stupid?
As much as that might be nice, no. The StupidFilter does not understand, in a meaningful sense, the text that it parses, and our graders select comments that are formally stupid -- that is, their diction, not their content, marks them as stupid. It is not our intent to eliminate debate or disagreement, but rather to programmatically enforce a certain quality of expression. Put another way: The StupidFilter will cheerfully approve an eloquent, properly-capitalized defense of mandatory, state-subsidized rocket-launcher ownership for all schoolchildren. I've spent the whole morning trying to understand what's so bad about state-subsidized rocket-launchers for schoolchildren. I mean I can't find a proper reason why we should deny them the fun most of us are craving for so badly. Maybe something for a mechanical turk to work out...
Faster DVD releases? You've got to be kidding me. I'm still waiting for the DVD release of "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", one of my favourite movies of last year. Seeing the movie was in the cinema around October 2005 and the German DVD is scheduled to hit April 28th 2006. I can't really confirm this faster DVD release myth.

And I thought this was about nobody making a good RPG settled in a Western environment. You know, like with six-shooters, silly hats and indians.

Yee-haw, that would be fun
