To whom it may concern on the list, Shut the fuck up, you bunch of belligerent, whiney dorks. No one gives a rat's ass if you get hacked. Actually, I spoke too soon, someone must care, since *someone* already told you to fucking upgrade. Someone call the goddam Guinness Book, we've assembled the largest group of crybabies in history. And the absolutely stunning thing is that after I post this, the bitching will grow. Hypocrisy > * To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of script kiddies, Or to take arms against a sea of hostile dorks, And by opposing end them? To reboot: to shutdown; No more -a little slice of reality p.s. Chris, this was not a post directed at you in particular.
