Boerseun Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 "while we're on the subject of file formats, let's pause for a moment in frank admiration of the way in which Microsoft brazenly built backward-incompatibility into its product. By initially making it virtually impossible to maintain a heterogenous environment of Word 95 and Word 97 systems, Microsoft offered its customers that most eloquent of arguments for upgrading: the delicate sound of a revolver being cocked somewhere just out of sight."- Dan Martinez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerseun Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in a moment of reasoned lucidity which is almost unique among its current tally of five million, nine hundred and seventy-three thousand, five hundred and nine pages, says of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation products that "it is very easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all." In other words, - and this is the rock-solid principle on which the whole of the Corporation's Galaxywide success is founded - their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws. -Douglas Adams (Could be equally well applied to Microsoft, and its products...:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeztar Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 "The victory of Christianity over paganism was the greatest psychic revolution in the history of our culture. By destroying pagan animism, Christianity made it possible to exploit nature in a mood of indifference to the feelings of natural objects." - Lynn I.
