Dude.... THE END IS NEAR. Once MS pulls the plug, SP2 will be gone
forever. No one on planet Earth has it on CD. No other website has
it. MS controls everything we do, Our survival on this planet is
determined by MS. In fact at any moment they could shut off all the
oxygen and we would all die in minutes. Hell, if MS wants to, they
can shut down all the stores and we would not have any food, and shut
down all electrical systems and phone systems, and even stop our
supply of oil. MS controls EVERYTHING !!! MS has more power than GOD
himself !!!!
And, jsut so you know, MS can see and hear EVERYTHING you do. (evne
when your computer is shut off). NEVER say anything bad about Bill
Gates or Microsoft, or they'll send out guys with guns to kill you and
burn down your home. If that isn't bad enough, if you pirate any MS
software, you're entire neighborhood will be exterminated by MS with
nuclear weapons, and after you die, Bill Gates will send you to hell
for eternity.
The worst thing anyone could ever do, is call Bill Gates a nasty name,
while asking for a pirated copy of Windows on this newsgroup. Do
that, and MS will destroy this newsgroup, guaranteed !!!!
