Best city ever, if you're a clueless Californian sheeple, a rich idiot, or a shallow prick who thinks the only thing that matters in the world is good weather.
Actually the city is pretty cool, you gotta love a town whose entire city council is at risk of going to jail, and whose (recently resigned) mayor was voted one of the country's worst.
I think I know a total of 5 other residents who actually like this place, most people who love SD are tourists who didn't stay long enough to get screwed over.

If you like $500,000 cottages, $3.00/gallon gas, corrupt local government, fascistic homeowners associations and oppressive regulation, San Diego is the place to be.

One of the founders of Microsoft and formerly the world's richest man (passed by the founder of Ikea). People like to blame him for everything, because he's rich and part of human nature is blaming rich people for all your problems.
Car won't start?
Got fired from work?
Your candidate got owned in the election?
Blame Bill Gates!! Everyone's doing it, it's the new national pastime.

Soldier who is trained to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, for the purpose of inserting in enemy territory away from the heavy defenses around national borders and the front lines.
Paratroopers are pretty helpless during the airdrop, but their strength is in putting force in an area that isn't expecting it or prepared to react.

Fairly decent OS from Microsoft. More stable than most Windows versions, but has a number of privacy and end-user-rights issues that are questionable at best. Like all Windows builds, is often blindly flamed by idiots with no clue what an OS is or how it works, thinking MS sucks but not having any ideas how they would do it better.
Its Fisher-Price looking graphics do however fit in well, considering MS's tech support usually treats you like a toddler.

To be so wrapped up in your own Kool-Aid agenda that you have no clue that you are really talking out of your ass. The word was invented by pundit Joe Klien in a rant about how Matt Drudge sucks, but the part of the original article he quoted to support his case actually validated the Drudge headline so Klien was clearly referring to himself.
Did you catch that Senator on TV the other night going on about how earmarks are bad but his own pet projects were special? How dumbolic.

Software company that produces the Windows series of operating systems. Founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, and generally considered responsible for modern computing.
People like to knock their near-monopolistic control of the OS market but in truth, while at times unpleasant, its almost a necessity for widespread computing due to the way OS's work, and how software has to communicate with the OS. Those of you who dabbled with computing in the early '90s when many different computers/OS's on the market instead of just one know what I'm talking about; trying to find a particular piece of software compatible with your particular setup could be hell, and trying to code the stuff was even worse. Having a good compiler helped of course, but it had to be kept up to date on all the latest OS builds and/or you had to do all sorts of manual tweakage with the compiled code, neither of which was a particularly pleasant experience.
Aside from Windows, MS has released a number of things like DirectX to make programmers' lives easier. All in all they help more than they hurt.

An operating system is like the lines on the road, if everyone's not using the same one bad shit starts happening.
