"This is not bad; this is a conspiracy to remove happiness from existence. It seeks to wrap its hedgehog hand around the still beating heart of the personification of good and squeeze until it is stilled."

I'm beginning to wonder if Microsoft has started leaving security holes in their products in order to make the unwashed masses happy about the arrival of total-security Palladium.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

For once I'm inclined to agree with you. If GM built cars the way Microsoft makes software, occasionally they'd blow up when you put the key in the ignition.Enlightenment wrote:I'm beginning to wonder if Microsoft has started leaving security holes in their products in order to make the unwashed masses happy about the arrival of total-security Palladium.
