Why Does Windows Still Suck? 1995
RatBastard writes "SF Gate's Mark Morford asks: Why Does Windows Still Suck? After wtaching his significant other's Windows PC drown in a sea of viruses and worms after only 4 minutes on her new DSL connection, Mark Morford wonders why the masses have not stormed Redmond waving torches and scythes in anger over the never-ending security flaws in Windows. Why haven't they jetisoned the foul beast from Redmond and migrated en mass to the Macintosh or even Linux?"

ALl you need to make it a great scene in a movie is for the laptop to shake, slide off the table, then explode in a huge fireball when it impacts the carpet as the guy knocks her out of the way.

That doesn't make any sense, you can't just arbitrarily decide what does and doesn't count
I have lots of sex and with women exclusively. I also have sex with other straight guys.

I'm good at solving problems and never use violence against any person to do so. I smack my wife around.
