Ah, good old fashioned flamebait. I don't get to see many people make asses of themselves anymore, so I thought I'd drop in to tell you how much of an ass you're making of yourself.

Root level exploits for Windows are released nearly every week. Sometimes its Outlook, sometimes its Internet Explorer, sometimes it's IIS... the list goes on and on; it's Russian Roulette--you never know what it's going to be. That means that stupid advice like "automatic update" doesn't work--different people have different purposes for their machines. So don't expect when you use half-assed general prescriptions like "automatic update" that someone should listen.

You don't even have a clue, do you? Beyond deploying someone else's pre-packaged, pre-planned network of PCs that are all exactly the same, that all get their network information from a DHCP server (that someone else set up), you don't know shit. Yeah, if we all had to take care of the simple shit that you do, automatic update would be the answer.

*Yawn*

You obviously understand that different computers have different purposes, and therefore require different treatment. But you have one asshead idea of how to take care of computers differently.

Even worse--when someone responds to your lame excuse for understanding telling you that automatic update no-workee, don't pretend like you were giving advice for a specific instance.

I mean, that's just stupid. Microsoft's patch mechanism is broken, from its design to its implementation, it's broken in so many different ways it's just pitiful. And you have the gall to tell someone that they should be using it--no matter what their situation...

Magic 8 ball says you need to get another job soon. The days of bullshit administration are gone along with all the venture capital.

So why don't you cry some more about how we sound like old women, or cry about how we have nothing to say.

Go ahead, little one--cry.
