Bad Conservatives, Down Boy!


As a Conservative list member for quite some time now, I have to voice my opinions on just how corny they are..

I've had everything through my mailbox from "Michael Howard promises to relax taxes", "Michael Howard is tough on crime", "Michael Howard relaxes laws on businesses", "Michael Howard brings back family values" to "Conservative plans for childcare".. I know never trust a politician, it's a known fact, but does that mean they have to just blatantly lie to us? I'm sick of getting these "Michael Howard puts an end to world hunger" type e-mails, by all means hype up the party and what you stand for (Which fundamentally I agree with) but please please please can someone tell them to just stop finding out what people want and then getting some mailing list manager drinking his coffee somewhere to slap out some half assed e-mail about how Michael Howard will fix it..

I can imagine it as a phonecall

<Bill (Party Member)> Yo Steve what's happening?
<Steve (Webmaster)> ah nothing just keeping it real
<Bill> sure sure... hey Steve I need you to do me a favor, we're gonna need you to hack up some mailing list e-mail to our members
<Steve (Webmaster)> Already? Sure! what's getting on peoples tits?
<Bill> Childcare
<Steve> "Michael Howard has released a dynamic package of plans designed to help parents cope with the rising costs of childcare"?
<Bill> Sounds great, any crap like that
<Steve> Sure thing
*Hangs up*

btw "You are subscribed to 'michaelhoward'" why do I read that as some form of slavery? It just reads wrong to me like i've signed my life away to him or something, it just must be me

Security company defends Linux-is-vulnerable survey


"The mi2g Intelligence Unit study provoked a storm having found that nearly 60 per cent of all successful breaches were against Linux computers"

Before anyone accuses me of being a Linux hater I would like to put clear I think that Linux is a good thing, without it there would not be any serious ass kicking competition to Microsoft, also I would probably use Linux if it wasn't so time consuming..

Of course there's a mini conspiracy on those results, Linux users visiting PC Pro are savagely defending their blessed OS

However next time some idiot laughs about how your still using Windows or tells you how easily you could be exploited just point them here or copy and paste the above
