Fucking Microsoft with their fucking nmake and makefile shananegins. I don't care about C/C++, I know them. I just want to learn their stupid IDE and project/workspace/packaging rules. Now I don't have to buy a book.

Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days

Ok for work, and funny as heck.

A classic! I think the first mistake was straddling the cat.

Movies should use his scream instead of the Starwars scream.

Really? Genetics huh? Because I blame you.

I hate these people who blame their behavior on Genetics."oh Genetics is against me! Its not my fault!" Fuck you, It is your fault. What about the people who lose their legs in car accidents? Every other day I'm hearing about these peoples' strength and courage to learn to live a new life in a wheel chair or push themselves through hours of physical therapy so they can use artifically legs. They have lost half their damn body, and overcome it. Yet you sit around shoving twinkies down your throat bitching that its all genetic. Its not genetic, its laziness.

Its the same thing at a theatre I'm involved with. Everyone there are emotional wrecks. They get drunk and bitch about how much their lives suck. But it's not the fact that they are lazy, don't work hard, fuck around, drink heavily and skip class. No its because they have bi-polar disorder. They are manic depressive. Statistically, its inpossible for all those people to have all the disorders they claim. Most (if not all) are lying to get attention and to excuse their complete failures in love and life.

Fuck these people that blame genetics or some mental disorder for how sorry their lives are. Fuck them because they cheapen the struggle of people who really have to combat these problems on a daily basis.

Half-ton man: It was genetics

] networking, sharing printers across a network or more
] advanced features such as the ability to establish
] multiple user accounts on a single PC," the company said.

Oh. My. God. *This* is how they expect to combat Linux in developing markets? 3 Concurrent processes? 800x600 max? I would say they took a bunch of copies of Windows For Workgroups 3.11 and repackaged them, but even WFW could do peer-to-peer file/print sharing.

"Here, have some 1993 Technology, and remember Linux is bad." How stupid do they think people in South East Asia are? Yes Microsoft, you win people over to your brandname by insulting their intelligence.

XP Lite - Now with hi res 800x600 and up to 3 concurrent programs!
