Re: [News] [Amusement] Windows Errors Make Nice Art

Aw, pwetty.

And people say Windows types aren't creative, eh?

It's available as a third-party utility:

> Why Does Windows Get Slower Over Time?

I researched this comprehensively, using references from both Einstein
and Star Trek. I get pretty good results by mixing the formulae for
Special Relativity with the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, thus:

Profit = (Time * ((FUD + Hyperbole) / (ABS(Speed))) ^2) - Refunds

(Refunds is the constant zero, as per Ferengi rules.)

Therefore, as Speed approaches zero, Profit tends towards infinity.

I did consider including the value of Anti-Trust fines, but they don't
seem to make Windows go faster, either way.
