As I've repeatedly asserted, Windows Vista isn't a bad operating system. But Vista has got a bad reputation—what I recently referred to as the high school slut. People want Vista for her pretty user interface, but they marry more matronly XP. Windows XP is less demanding (hardware requirements) and complains (Vista User Account Control) much less.

Linus gets more patches while he is brushing his teeth than OpenSolaris gets in a week.

Future archaeologists will be able to identify a 'Vista Upgrade Layer' when they go through our landfill sites.

We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

THEOREM: VI is perfect.
PROOF: VI in roman numerals is 6. The natural numbers < 6 which divide 6 are

Microsoft's biggest weakness is that they still don't realize how much they suck.

FYI, Poul-Henning Kamp is also creator of the “beerware license,” which allows others to use his software free so long as they buy him a brew.

Hi Eric:

I thought I'd let you know that you're currently massively over-quota on the EECS filer ("zeus"). I've been receiving the over-quota reports, and you've been on them since the system was set up :)

The only way you can tell the difference between mother and daughter these days is that the daughter gets tired quicker. The reason is that as soon as a woman shows signs of wear and tear, she runs into one of these beauty service stations, has her face jacked up, fenders straightened, gets a new coat of Duco and comes out looking like a reconstructed car. Everything new but the chassis. That's why so many men think it's cheaper to get a new wife, than it is to overhaul the old one.
