It doesn't matter if they're disgusted.

It's not like Apple, which also did that back in the days to get students hooked to Apple computers, because Apple computers were better.

Microsoft has a virtual monopoly on the professional marketplace: the point is to get the kids used to using Microsoft cloud shit before they start their career so there's no friction - and therefore no pushback - when they get their first job. The point is to make sure Microsoft is kind of the natural thing in the background to people who are focused on trying to do well at their first job.

Psychologically, this goes a long way towards ensuring Microsoft quietly maintains their monopoly and nobody questions if there's something better that might make sense at work.

Climate change will render all of that moot. It is the one thing that not even bloviating halfwits can alter. You see, people are morons.

Just remember that the laws of physics don't give a fuck, and will crush us with as much ease and as little concern as a tidal wave crushing an ant.

That we imagine we can alter physics by denial is a sign of what an utterly idiotic species we are.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest her statement was fair and accurate.

Sugar make you fat, diabetic and shorten your life by many years.

I'll take sweeteners any day.

A pretty significant proportion of the world's IT infrastructure runs on single source products; from Microsoft to Broadcom to Oracle. Believe me, I'm trying to move our office over to open source where I can, but it's no mean feat.

The real lesson, unless the courts start holding licensors accountable, is that a perpetual license may actually be meaningless, no matter what you paid for it.

Too bad. Your shitty political system, with its impotent checks and balances and imperial powers handed over the to the President, made this possible. Your all frogs boiling in the Framers' failed experiment.

I have zero sympathy at this point. Supposedly the Framers put in a really top tier solution to tyranny, but instead it's mainly being used to take out schoolchildren. Everything about your country has become repulsive and self-destructive. I just hope my country can hang on.

The voted for someone who was unbelievably awful in their first term, knowing they were older and even worse. So I hope Americans suffer horribly. They have earned that.

Sorry if I failed to empathize.

If Democrats could have just told us what a woman is, we could have avoided this entire catastrophe. But no, you put gay men in lingerie in kindergartens and categorized parents who went to school board meetings to protest as far right domestic terrorists.

"Trump will destroy democracy," say the people who ran a candidate who was not only a cop(ACAB), but who nobody voted for. How many states did Officer Harris carry in the Democrat primary? I've forgotten, can you remind us?

Because Brazil is unique in creating the conditions of its own devastation...

Disneyland, Las Vegas and Mardis Gras aren't Machu Picchu.

Which is the same thing.

No change there then. This man will fit right in the music industry.
