[RESOLVED] Win 98 and higher is the devil!

[pumpkinhead77]

ROTFLMAO!!!! My manager here at the shack just told me the reason that she does not use any os higher than 95 is because M$ can then see all of your software etc. if this were true, how many customers and friends do you know that would be tiny's girlfriend?

Back when I was little, I remember going into Radio Shack and the guy was trying to sell my dad and I a Compaq computer. "It will run anything and will never break." Yeah, well back then I knew nothing about computers. Now after being a technician, I look back at that moment and think "Damn, good thing I didn't piss away $1500 bucks on that piece of crap." Now my friends and I go into random stores and test the sales reps on how much they actually know. Hehe, Radio Shack is by far the lowest store (No offense to the actual few people who work there and know their stuff).

Yea Right...
you know what - Lets play with it for a moment...
Microsoft is Spying on Bin-Laden's computer and gives the Info to the NSA.
The NSA delivers the Info into the hands of Intel and AMD which produce a Special instruction in their processor to detct where the computer is.
Now, Using GPS We can know EXACTLY where bi-Laden is. and we can Use Computer Virus to kick his A$$.
The virus will probably cause GPF or BSOD since microsoft OS tends to do so.

All this means that Microsoft is really BAD.

Just a thought from my (VERY) Twisted mind.

Actually Windows does keep some absolutely frightening records of the stuff on your machine, and hidden, too, so you don't know they are there. I do not, however, believe this is by intention. I think it is purely because the people who programmed it were very sloppy.

However, this does allow hackers who know this stuff to find out all sorts of interesting information about you.

So the best way to get Bin Laden is to use a computer virus? Better idea is to shut down the satelite phones that those clowns use in the wilderness!

Fravia's has a glimpse into that, but it's pretty old...

Also look at What's behind the mm256.dat and mm2048.dat files?.

Gotta try (I know it's hopeless) and defend the Shack for a moment. There are different kinds of Shacks. Most of them, about 99 out of 100 don't know much about computers, let alone how to fix one, but there are a very few stores with real techs that are pretty good at what they do (blowin' my own horn here). All the salespeople know is what they are told about the computers and to go put and sell them anyway possible. Ask one what the bus speed on one is and check out the look you'll get from the sales clerk! I work at a franchise store in a small town where the owner realized we're the only computer store for miles therefore he better find someone that knows computers of all brands and how to fix 'em so he hired me out of a major city. I'm working on final certifications now to make us a service center for several brands. Yeah most Radio Shacks suck, I even have had many run-ins with the service centers, but there are some of us that are different. Sorry......didn't mean to go off on a tangent!
