Microsoft slams coffin lid on Vista

Dave Cradle

Awful

This is just pathetic tittle-tattle, not journalism. It's like the author was trying to post a comment on youtube and sent it here instead When there enough genuine reasons to loathe vista why spout spiteful little lies?

'Severe' OpenSSL vuln busts public key crypto

Dave Cradle

But...

..think of the people conducting this research. Building an 81 node cluster to do this would be FUN. And while the cluster is chuntering away for 100 hours you can play WOW on the new EC2.

G-Marketeer 1 "Sounds cool. Let's use it"

G-Marketeer 2 "We're clearly giving a nod to Dickies work. Should we ask first?"

*pause*

G-1&2 "HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA"

No surprise, Google's evil has outstripped MS, Exxon, Union Carbide or even Apple. To my mind they are approaching the Khymer Rouge, German National Socialists and the current UK government.

Oxford American Dictionary dubs 'unfriend' Word of the Year

Tramp stamp? Arse antlers?

Not as funny as Arse Antlers, though.
