That's not a point against my statements above, do you see that?
Example:

Proof: I don't ride bicycles.
huh?

I hope that helps your personal pursuit of happiness.
It sure doesn't help to convince me. I talked about your errant
assumptions, not about your dick anyway.

Wrong. Reasonable precautions improve you chance not to get HIV.

And REASONABLE precautions is what? Shooting gays, (see Kulekiss

Wrong. I think that's wrong. So, you think my precautious test I did
with my lady was what? Not necessary? Paranoid?
BTW, these questions are meant to be questions. Feel free to answer
them!

Netcraft doesn't conduct scientific surveys, and their results are only
credible in a narrow sense. They may or may not have any real relationship
to what operating systems businesses run on all their servers - not just
those running their primary web pages.

Hmmm, but are you free to develop a PS interpreter and sell it for money?
Isn't this the exact reason why Apple didn't choose postscript for their
display model and developed Quartz instead?

Eh... I'm not sure I follow. The way it is now, I buy a new PC with
the latest Windows on it, and spend hours moving stuff over. In an
ideal world, I buy a new PC with the latest Windows on it, and push a
button to automatically transfer all my stuff.
I'm not sure I see why MS cares one way or another.
