That's the feeling I got watching Prometheus last weekend. I was expecting "Stay Tuned" to pop up before the credits. Perhaps they did, the dramatic run from the rolling ship was the last absurdity I could take that particular day.

Fuckin' A, brother. Or sister.
 
We are far from enlightened as a society, a more sensible argument could be made to liken us to a cancer consuming ourselves along with the host. Greed is considered a 'right' and is played on by marketers and managers to feed our primitive limbic hunger. Go ahead, wheedle someone's welfare under false pretenses, it's just 'playing the game', right? More risk, more reward...just like at the casino. Greed=good. Kindness=weakness. Philanthropy is only good after you've raped your environment of all within your grasp. All others, keep dreaming and betting on the come...your turn at fantastic wealth and sated dreams is just around the corner.
Any minute, now.
Hang in there.
Whatever it takes.
Just Do It.

If it's a 'Verified By Visa' page, he/she knows they're not allowed. If that were the case, however, he/she would also know that clicking the 'Cancel' button at the bottom of the page 2x's forgoes the "security" and processes your transaction without it.

A 'Stop Crap' button for the lame films they spew.
A 'Stop Bay' button to make him stop ruining my childhood like a TNT wielding GLucas on crack.
A 'Stop Lucas' button while we're at it.
A 'Stop Gouge' button that makes a movie night cost me less than or equal to what I make in it's equivalent running time.
A 'Stop Loss' button that refunds me the price of admission, snacks and reimburses me for my time when the only good parts of the feature appear in the trailer in their entirety.
 
There's more, but I figure Santa can get started on these and I'll get the rest to him before Christmas.

That's what I said about Vista. It took all the way to SP 7 to fix that steaming pile. Where Vista nudged me into Linux, I believe 8 will be the last push over the edge.
 
Off to dust off my whiteboard with my CLI commands cheat sheet...

Came to post your thoughts and to add if the current mobile adoption/migration continues as it has private desktop ownership will take a much larger hit. As the 'Facebook & email' crowd unplugs their malware infested windoze boxes even less of them will be bought new.

Look on the bright side, now fry cooks and sign-twirlers feel like they're really earning a 'competitive wage'.

Frontline's eight year old documentary called The Persuaders (specifically chapter 5, though it's all quite interesting) showed the pollsters going door to door, but before knocking they got all your data from Axciom or Lexis so they could tell you EXACTLY what you want to hear. Disingenuous? Nahh, it's just politics.

Apparently they didn't get the memo from Rummy, he had the receipts and the profit sharing to prove it. Not saying the attack on a sovereign nation would have been justified, just saying just because we say we didn't find them, doesn't mean they weren't there(or that we really didn't find them).
