I yell a lot about politics, civil rights, human rights, anarchism, Jeeps, construction, and bad software development practices, in no particular order.

You have been warned.
I'd just like to note that a piece of cardboard would be more effective. Wouldn't even need to hold them to it

Sounds like time for some biz travel to the Kent facility. We ignore feds we don't like up here

That's it I'm never buying this operating system

You can take my dirt simple, no frills notepad.exe from my cold dead hands

Despite Ford engineers best efforts at foiling parts acquisition and minimizing ease of repair I have returned their technological terror to drivability once more

Hi it's me again Ford engineers
Fuck you. Strong letter to follow

Seriously lol. Real issue that plagued early 00s and late 90s foresters. 3 big (like larger than 1210) chip resistors didn't have a large enough solder fillet so they literally overheat the joints and cause fractures over many cycles resulting in them falling off. Luckily you can just redo it

Don't forget "the resistors fell off the PCB in my overhead console clock because I don't know what J-STD-001 is"

Obviously it will use the finest of processors, the Intel Poulson Itanium, because it supports both X86 and IA64 in one package, kind of like the C128. Right? Right???

(I'm biased because I worked on that chip and actually loved programming in ia64 assembly)

I mean, they're looking to resurrect the company that would have marketed KFC as "warm dead greasy bird". Any kind of successful marketing will be both a blessing and a shock.
