Where's my "-1 Naive" mod?...

He said espresso machine, though. Espresso machines make single espresso shots at a time, not whole pots.

It's only easy to build for i386 if there's no dependency on 64-bit pointers.

You don't give vaccines to people who are already infected. That said, I don't envy the guy spraying vaccine up healthy monkeys' noses, either.

Where's my "-1 Revolting" mod?...

This.

I can't say I'm surprised that neither the OP nor any editor did any actual research before making such a claim, though. This is slashdot, after all.

I need to know how is babby formed?!

You don't shut down Windows 8. It shuts you down once your usefulness falls below a specific threshold.

More importantly, how does any of this compare to the owner of a lonely heart?!

Under what now? What's this "parental protection/supervision" thing? I've never heard of it.

I for one welcome our new Trojan Earth Overlords!

Great idea, so when the cops shoot you dead, you'll at least die with the satisfaction of having stood up for your beliefs.

I think you're still missing the point. The point is that they made a statement which leaves room for interpretation. Your mindset leads you to make certain inferences that you feel are common sense. There's nothing wrong with your interpretation of the statement; what's wrong is that they made the statement in such a way as to require you to reach your conclusions.

A better statement could have been, "a technician mistakenly entered commands that resulted in the system failure," if that is what happened. Then there's no room for you or me to reach any conclusions, because they told us what really happened.

I believe OP's point is the way VMWare described the occurrence. By dumbing-down the official explanation, they imply several statements I would not want to hear from a professional service provider:

• - Our users are too stupid to understand the real cause
• - We're too stupid to understand the real cause
• - Our employees can't be trusted to truthfully recount the events of an incident to their management
• - Our systems are so fragile that an actual errant touch brings down the whole operation
• - We've discovered an issue so severe that we're afraid to tell our users / the world what it is, lest it be exploited

That's the problem with vague, imprecise explanations. They leave room for interpretation.

What's a GNAA troll?

You really don't know? You posted AC so I can't see your user number.. I presume it has a great many digits.

Kids these days...
