Question

"On Top of Spaghetti" really isn't the theme song all MS developers must learn during their initial orientation?

The Arrival

The aliens arriving shortly will sort this out unless they're here already and control Verizon.

Mental Image

.....that of the fuzz on a rotten peach. To remove fuzz I suggest scalding first.

Vivaldi

....loved choir boys.........very, very much. You could say they 'inspired' him.

Well.......

OS/2s system architecture was ALWAYS more stable than Windows by protecting ring 0.......

Swedish Meatballs Are MY Favorite

...one can not be faulted for assuming from recent developments that rape by ANYONE in Sweden is no longer considered to be a crime. Between the NAZIs, the Muslims and people like Assange Sweden is simply incapable of prosecuting them ALL.

Things Haven't Changed Much at MS

....I remember a major dog and pony show at a prestigious NYC hotel for the rollout of Windows 98 many years ago with Bill Gates looking into a massive projection of one of his BSODs.

False Premise

....that 'Windows Defender' protects the customer. It protects Microsoft.

Surface

.....now resembles an impact crater.

A Gigantic Technological Achievement

....the 'old' science was based on the impossibilty of infection without being in close proximity. Now we have 'Clouds' bringing us exciting new vistas of insecurity. How long before an AIDS like virus spreads among all those innocents who only know 'On/Off'?

Change Their Logo

....to a circular firing squad.

I Object Your Honor

The epithet 'idiot' when used in reference to the Honorable Rep. Sensenbrenner casts an unduly harsh criticism upon the senile everywhere who certainly do not use the Internet being prevented by the drool that renders inoperable any input device in their proximity, indeed if they even comprehend that it exists.

One must never confuse the drool of the senile with the foam of the truly mentally disturbed who often manage to express their alarming opinions despite their frighening excretions.

Two Words

AI - Microsoft

The oxymoron of oxymorons. The pinnacle of impossibility. Elevating the BSOD to new impossible heights of indecipherability.

Marisa's Inalienable Right To Be Happy

It paled into insignificance compared to the General Party Fund.

Did They Have Another Swansee Conference?

You know, like the original one where the NAZIs worked out the details for their 'Final Solution"?

Insufficently Expandable

Unlike the egos of Apple Executives and the expectations of stock analysts worldwide.

The Microsoft Politburo Says.........

.....your new living accommodations include a herd of reindeer, a goose down parka and three pairs of felt boots to use in Siberia.

Synergy

Larry Ellison's ego is like that alien plant in 'Little Shop of Horrors'. Eventually it will swallow everything up or choke to death.

Heavy Users Are Most Effective

Sheep are too light and fail to detonate the landmines. Heavy weight cows and oxen work best. Elephants and Hippos are ideal but difficult to herd.

Luxury Barbecue Lighters

...adds that exciting new flavor of burnt plastic? Perhaps they can add other flavoring?

..and in other news

In case you haven't noticed Google is under siege at the moment in both the EU and soon the US. Perhaps this decision had more to do husbanding resources for the coming fight and focusing on their profit centers.

Apple Calls It Price Discipline

....it's a 'feature' not a bug.

Correct Nomenclature

....is human resource, asset, partner, job title....etc.

When you're dedicated to working WITH machines many succumb to the condition of becoming just like the machines they wish to 'perfect'. Human imperfections then become intolerable to the 'machines' seeking perfection. It's why AI is so scary to many and why machine societies are often depicted as dystopian.

How She'll be Remembered

......for the sumptuousness of her over the top parties.

Analogy

The Microsoft Edge 'Experience' is being like being in the middle seat between two 350 pound eavesdroppers constantly annoying you to sign up for more 'services'.

We Forget

Your mobile phone is a radio operating within a narrow band set by the government.

Never send an email you don't mind being read by someone else. There are so many intercept points between the sender and receiver that by the very architecture of the internet security can be breached by multiple hackers.

The government spies because being untrustworthy they suspect everyone else of being untrustworthy.

Question

What's the atomic structure of YOUR brick?

Or What?

Where Jackson's waning 'influence' still holds some sway, the crime ridden Southside of Chicago, current murder capital of the US, the 'residents' undoubtedly steal more than they buy. So, if I were Tim Cook I'd tell Mr. Jackson to check his black privilege but if he has the resumes of some 'qualified' people he'd be happy to review them.

Pedophiles

Love children's toys too it seems.

A Clue?

A poison cloudlet dipped in carre administered by a foul wind?

If I wanted the 'Store'

I'd use Apple and OSX. Theirs is better.

Samsung Phones

....just an aside. Why didn't Samsung send those defective phones to ISIS rather than just warehouse them? With their headcoverings we could have ignited a few and saved some of the gazillions we're spending.......

It's Traditional

IBM in ancient times was known as Molloch. His temples were giant furnaces in his image where human sacrifice was practiced several times a year. Sometimes the priests who had outlived their usefulness were sacrificed as well. His worship has retained that climate of fear so common today among IBMers today even among senior staff.

Pity

There's no 'do you like what you see?" I'm so used to now from Microsoft. The only company I know that offers us 'seeing is not believing' as it's product development philosophy.

When I'm Depressed I Always Listen to Mark Zuckenberg

....and my direct access to the suicide hotline is always there to save me. They always come up with the words that returns me to normalcy. They would rather want me to live in a world where Mark Zuckerberg wouldn't have that effect on people.

My Life IS No Longer An Open Book

I refuse to use Google Chrome. I sensed the entire Alphabet looking over my shoulder.........

We're About To Be Plucked

OK. But NOT many good things come out of Geneva these days.

Call It A 'Pilgrimage'

Don't tell they why only that they must.

So?

This begs the question.....'Who IS El Reg spying for?"

Queens Pawn to.......?

I long for those days when being the Queen's Pawn was just part of an interesting game. Will IBM ever recover it's former glory(and it WAS glorious)? Doubtful. That requires R&D, the cultivation of talent and a good PR staff.

Through the Looking Glass?

Didn't the March Hare's watch turn backwards? Perhaps the masters were just placed upside during the xray process?

Right

....and their knowledge of explosives will be very helpful......or something.

Ummm

Have they thoroughly canvassed all the transgender clinics?
