Windows Gives No Tongue
SFGate ^ | Friday, July 14, 2006 | By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist

Reminder: Microsoft's bloated OS is truly terrible in the sack. But a Mac will make you moan

It has those beady little eyes. It has that seedy come-hither stare. It has overstretched pleather pants and million-dollar gold caps over stained teeth, through which glides that famously shrill voice that seems at once tempting and full of promise and yet also more than a little whiny, deceptive, ill.

"Aww c'mon, baby," Windows pleads, kneeling at the foot of the bed. "This time it'll be different, I promise." It coughs that familiar phlegmy hack, like a busted Dell motherboard scraped over of a lumpy C++ programmer.

isn't frisco 30-35% homosexual?

After reading this I am pretty sure you got your numbers backwards. Pretty sure that is the straight population percentage

Well when you try to run modern software on 10 year old computers you are bound to run into so performance issues. But then reading Morfordite here, I am sure he is an expert when it come to having perfromance problems

Joke from a parody of Star Trek IV:

"We need to gain access to one of the nuclear vessels. Uhura, go hustle some sailors."
"Sir, I point out that this is San Francisco."
"OK -- Sulu, go hustle some sailors."

LOL! Right, where is he, just when you need him??

Four and a half years ago, you, Bush2000, and I exchanged rings - oops, I mean my first posts - me to him, then you to us two. A match built in heaven;)

Frisco is in Texas, so probably not. ;)

San Francisco is no more than 20% homosexual - probably less than that, as the ones who live here make much more noise than their numbers give them any right to.

I'm probably a minority of one here but I actually like Mark Morford muct of the time. He's amusing in a stream of consciousness kind of way, at least when he avoids mentioning the dreaded BushCo as every fifth word.

But this was ... I dunno, a bit over the top. His point has validity but I think a lower setting for the gross out-o-meter might have been prudent.

Not that Morford is known for prudence, mind.
