Microsoft-Free Fridays

So, for those of you who see nothing here but a really ugly white page with text, I'd like to officially welcome you to Microsoft-Free Friday. Supposedly, there should be an informative message that tells you what's up, but somehow PHP is getting through the mod and pushing text out. Oh well.

So why am I doing this? Lots of reasons. First off, I don't have this page up to make money, so I'm not losing any by doing it. Mainly, though, I'm running this mod out of antipathy for Microsoft in general, and Internet Explorer in particular... believe me, there are plenty of better, faster, more secure, and more standards-compliant web browsers out there. By now you'd have really had to crawl out from under a rock to not know that. Oh, and to those who say, "What about websites that are IE only?" my reply is simple: when I encounter such a site, I go elsewhere, right after sending a pointed email to webmaster@ that domain telling them that I've just clicked ads/spent money at a competitor's site. Money talks, you know the rest.

Get Firefox!

"Money talks, you know the rest."

Bah.

(and yes, I registered *just* to say that. =P)

You have to relax. Do you have high blood pressure? You must. Ya know, I hate linux, but do I go around complaining all the time about it. Nope. Learn to live with Microsoft. That company is a huge part of the economy, and is very necessary to actually get work done. I know linux is free, but you get what you pay for.

First off, thanks for taking the time to read so many of my posts. Since you seem to misunderstand, here's the crux of what I dislike about Microsoft: they play dirty pоker. Have for a very long time, and have been convicted for it. So what you get is software that Still Sucks(r), whereas in a fair marketplace we'd be able to do things with our computers that simply aren't thought of right now due to the big anchor that company puts on this industry.

Yes, it's hard to spell, but it's what keeps a roof over my head. This blog is all about tech. Yeah, I didn't spell it out.
