So, as I said before, Kulkis, you're in favor of women all becoming
lesbians? Since heterosexual sex transmits disease, after all, and
lesbian sex has the lowest disease transmission rate. Doesn't that
make sense?

Nah, there's a loophole in Christianity meaning you can do what you

How can anyone noe understand directories? I could understand them
when I was 7. God help them if they ever need to learn about
double-linked lists or bitwise operations.

You can edit the registry for DOS? How? And the regedit exporting
thing doesn't count, as that is an absolute arse. Also, can I install
hardware, uninstall programs etc?

Over 100 security bugs in Microsoft SW last year. An infamous
record. The worst offending piece of SW, by far, IIS. 2001 isn't
