A long time ago, someone said something on the internet -- can you help me find it?

Diamonds are great, but the corn and peas are revolting.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I don't get it. A creep walked into your girl's warehouse and install malware into her computer? Why use a cryptoprevent program when you should simply turn on bitlocker on your girl's computer? This unknown person will not be to walk into the warehouse and mess with it then. Of course, this unknown person can bring it home if he wants. I am worried with your girl's home security.

Now I'm starting to think the warehouse workers are plugging their phones into the computer to charge.
Or it's the old FedEx Program, in which we stopped using FedEx, removed the software but a small program was left on the machine.
Still working on it the theory of how it happened.

You're talking about application white listing. Search for "application whitelisting Windows" into your favorite search engine.

So don't download stoopid apps just for the sake of it.

If only it was just the apps...
"Common sense", as you put it, would also suggest you don't buy into an abandoned platform. I have Android devices (4.3 and 4.4) that never got a single update from their manufacturers. Total abandonware the moment I walked out the store. These versions are now known to have security holes and they're not getting patched. I also have an Android 6.0 tablet, and it also hasn't had a single update. If history's any indication, I shouldn't expect to see one throughout its lifetime either.
Yet the Windows Phones, which everybody is proclaiming as dead, are still getting plenty of updates. I'm on the Insider program. I installed the creators update on my Lumia 640 a few weeks ago, and as I'm writing this, it's just about done installing build 15210, which came out a few hours ago.
Which one do I feel compelled to use? I'll give you a hint: It's not the one that forces me to buy new hardware if I want to have a mobile OS that gets regularly patched.

Shirley, but I have to change phones every ten minutes, anyway, because I'm notoriously good at breaking them.

I just got a system update on my Google Pixel XL phone. Android is an open source system and it is hardly google's fault that some vendor didn't bother to provide updates.

I get that point, but unfortunately, knowing who to blame provides nothing of value to those who don't buy their devices directly from Google. And as far as I understand it, very few do.
Somebody needs to be in charge of the entire Android ecosystem--and clearly, Google has failed to do so. And I don't think they even want that job.
I've been saying since I first heard of the concept of open source in the early 90s that it's great in theory, but the real world works differently. This is the perfect example.

Sadly (for me), it's not mine, and I don't remember the source, or I'd happily cite it.
It goes back at least ten years, to a newsgroup (I don't even remember which one). I've been using it since, and offering kudos to the guy (or gal) who came up with it whenever appropriate (like now).

I heard it first from Frank Caliendo in his impression of George Bush at least ten years ago.

Sounds like about the same time I first saw it, so that might even be the original source, repeated in the newsgroup.
