        The first victim when you finally have enemy contact is your plan. Therefore you should brush up on your tactical skills if you intend to meet anybody on the battlefield.

        And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
        "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

        And I smiled and was happy
        And it came worse.

          First of all, you need to attract some very bright people to work for you. You also need to have good ideas that people can get interested in, preferably across a wide area of applications. On top of this, you really need to be able to capture the business market - this is where you really make your money. If Google and Apple can't kill off Microsoft, what makes you think you can do it?

            No, first you must prove yourself worthy. This will require many, many years of solitude and training. Then, and only then, you must defeat much weaker adversaries. Then, and only then, can you take the final test to show your worthiness. Once you have done all that, then, we can teach you how to defeat Microsoft.

            Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                Gin and Bacon. That is all you need0 to succeed in this world. 0 A big shitty stick is also quite useful for numpty-blatting anyone who asks stoopid questions.

                    So what was that about the pool of jelly and Salma? If that's not temptation than I'm a Nepalese squirrel juggler.

                        On the dark side we already are, I thought. Besides that, the empire always had the more impressive outfits and theme music.

                                        On the dark side we already are, I thought. Besides that, the empire always had the more impressive outfits and theme music.

                                        And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
                                        "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

                                        And I smiled and was happy
                                        And it came worse.

                                        Rubbish! The emperor looked like a hobo. The uniforms worn by the admirals was more Japanese Navy c1940 then super space captains and as for the storm troopers ... Now look at the Rebellion. Those orange and white fighter outfits is so nifty, Obi-Wan had druidic charm, Han Solo possessed cowboy chic and the Princess was ...
