Here Goes Nothing

About to attempt to purge counter-revolutionary infiltrators from Glorious People's Revolutionary Devil-Box. (Fingers crossed, legs open!)

OFF THE PIG!!!

Added irksome & disturbing discovery: One can no longer rid one's devil-box of the accursed IdiotExploder7 if one has Vista Service Pack 3, unless one does much more than using Remove Programs. What the fucking hell is that, Billy Gates? Even worse, it claims that it will revert to/reinstall IE6. That's going to be more secure, innit?

Makes us wish Billy hadn't been two yrs. behind us at The Lakeside School for Boys so many yrs. ago. If we'd known him then we'd ring him right fucking now & give him several pieces of our mind. Try a little philanthropy toward the customers whose money lets you indulge your philanthropic egomania, jerkwad! (Classmate Paul Allen, are you of any use here?)

one might rid oneself of Exploder if one uses the consumer products of Billy's evil Twin Steve.

Or, as I am sure mikey will chime in, the penguiney alternative.

Editor-Robot Beeps:

Don't start that crap here, you'll get several hundred paragraphs on Beta*/VHS. We learned our lesson. Surrender to the market, no matter how moronic.

It might be worth the effort (Kidding, of course. Effort? Not going to happen, thanks.) to create a MAC-specific virus & set it loose to get you MACcabees' (AKA) to clam up, at least for a while.

*Nahgonna change OS soon, saving for a Beta machine to put more hideous grainy stuff on YouTube.

say what you will, I have been Exploder-free for over a decade.

every time I am forced to update Word (because of some client who Succumbs to the Invisible HandJob), Gates tries to reinstall it. AND THEN I DELETE IT WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!!

although I will confess that for the brief period I was forced to use it, I was amused by changing the splash screen to actually READ "Exploder". As well as several unkind things about Bill Gates' lineage.

IdiotEditor7 Types:

A nasty lawyer-type lineage.

Not that we [Sniffy harumph!] use IE, mind you, but it seems the virus does. And w/ both (64- & 32-bit, what the hell was that?) Idiots gone, more room for "kitten pictures, cute" & Gas Music From Jupiter on the hard drive.

Actual, meat-space friends have advised us to take it to a local guy they've used who works reasonable, rather than running in safe mode while trying to dick about, burning sage while chanting, or applying liquid relief (PISS!) to the keyboard & parts below. We'll bet he can perform all exorcisms, including demons from the Northwest, blindfolded.

And Gates providing work for local entrepreneurs is a good thing.

thundra has had beneficial results from pouring wine into the keyboard.

depending, of course, on your definition of 'beneficial'.

re: Gates: I am far from too proud to design buildings for him, so who am I to judge?
