Tell the truth

“Windows 10 is Microsoft’s make-or-break operating system and Microsoft needs to do everything it can to k̶i̶c̶k̶-̶s̶t̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶a̶d̶o̶p̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ guarantee dependence on its low quality drug”

There, fixed it for

Pay no attention to the OS behind the lenses

"A pair of 3D ski glasses eclipsed Windows 10 at Microsoft’s next-generation event..."

So it IS just smoke an mirrors.

I can't say that I wont end up with some poor piece of unsuspecting hardware with Windows 10 installed on it, but I can say I will actively refuse it for as long as I can. I didn't buy into the shite that Windows 8.x is and only recently have been using W7 (mostly at work).

I hope that this OS is as big a flop as Vista/W8 was/is. Microsoft really just needs to give up and make a GUI for Linux. And give it away to the general public.

Give up Microsoft

Stop dicking around trying to make an operating System, just build a GUI for the Linux kernel. You know you want to.

Yes, but...

Is there a corresponding problem for Windows? If not, can we make one? :D

Oh, wait... there is one. It's called Windows...

They can't have it both ways

"...the legal language around telecommunications."

If ISP's fall under telecommunications, according to the MPAA, then Net Nuetrallity has won.

Some one tell the FCC and Comcrap...

Can't the NSA

just issue a command to all the Cisco routers that will cut N. Korea off from the rest of the Interwebz? Cause, you know, they have that backdoor in all USA made kit...

Mines the one with the copies of David Icke's books on tape in the pocket...

Me thinks

The author of the story just might be a Wintard... But I'll have to check.

Linux *will* rule the world. Someday.

This is why

we need to start using mesh networks that no one controls.

I can't believe he missed this one...

"RIGHT, I AM DIRECTING YOU TO ENSURE THAT YOUR ASSISTANT GETS THIS LETTER TOMORROW."

Simon could have given it to the PFY on said tomorrow at 11:59 PM and still been within the directive.

That's our strategy...

'that use "elaborate tax structures" to avoid paying tax'

That is the domain of Government employees and elected officials...

I like Randall's work

just as much as the next geek, but c'mon, 'the root nerd'?

.NET is still a thing?

I thought it had already had a well deserved agonizing death....

Proving once again

That point and click systems admining is not infact hard.

Maybe he'll learn programming next and make a virus to kill Microsft.

One can dream.

Obvious choice

My advice: make your choice Linux and stick to it. - There, fixed it for you.

If the Sierra Club

had been around in the beginning, they would have kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden before God did...

I use a wget script....

To grab MP3's from PodioBooks.com

Gotta go fix some things now.

Java as a crutch

"Concerned users should disable JavaScript and play options for browser objects..."

I have No Script, AdBlock Plus an Ghostery in Firefox and just about every web page I go to either bitches about the ABP or the Java needs to be enabled. Can't go anywere on the web anymore without running into the Java crutch.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

"ISPs and internet backbone providers argue large websites, such as Netflix, that make heavy use of the underlying network should pay towards the deployment and improvement of the web's infrastructure."

Isn't that what we pay a monthly fee for?

How's about

Thrusting my hands in the air, I shouted: “Don’t shoot me!”

Okay, but a thorough ass kicking is probably in order. You might be guilty by association with Piers Morgan just by being a Brit.

Jargon

"...and therefore is potentially demonstrating an interaction with the quantum vacuum virtual plasma..."

Is that code for "We haven't a fucking clue"?
