wtf!!!
DAMN YOU COMCAST. OMG!
I hated Adelphia but at least they let us get away with paying $10 for cable (which is supposed to be $60.. $10 was the basic channels) for the last (almost)3 years. Then Comcast came and bought out Adelphia. And then they shut off all our other cable channels randomly in the middle of the night *cry* Albeit, I don't watch that much TV cuz the shows I watch are on ABC and NBC, but DISNEY CHANNEL. WTF am I gunna do with the new season of Kim Possible?!?!?!
That's so not cool. Kyndal's the most screwed cuz she's superly dedicated to that TV of hers.
Dang. *sigh* Well, at least I'll be able to watch Heroes and Grey's still. Dude... no South Park? Futurama? Family Guy? What the crap?? And we only have a couple months left here so Kyndal doesn't want to get the actual package. Good grief why would they do that to us?!?!?! I don't care if we cheated them that long. They're overpriced!!
Anyway, the intention of this post was to put up the following:
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:
If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........ Twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
