Notice to all users of the Holodeck:

There are safety protocols in place that cannot be deactivated without the approval of two commanding officers or the captain to protect users of the Holodeck from potential harm. However, every time the Holodeck is ever used in a nontrivial manner, no matter what the safety protocols say, the Holodeck turns into a deathtrap.

Unless you believe yourself to be adept at constructing a forcefield from your communicator and 19th century Earth tools, or you're at the very least not wearing a red shirt, you are strongly advised not to attempt to use the Holodeck until a designer comes up with a safety protocol that doesn't kill you whenever somebody looks at it funny. Even when you're not on the holodeck. Or in the same quadrant. Or time period.

In fact, if you are wearing a red shirt, Starfleet may not be the job for you

I'm a PC, and I still don't use Windows

Hello, I'm a PC, and that doesn't necessarily imply that I use Windows. Actually, as of late, I use Mac OS X. But that's only because I'm developing for the iPhone now. And let me tell you, Objective C is a screwed up language. At least, coming from C# and Java, and PHP and Javascript and even Visual Basic, it is a screwed up language.

On the other hand, even on my PC I don't use Windows, so that's the problem I've always had with those ads. They're targeting Windows specifically, but they generalize to the point that they also include Linux (and other variants of Unix) when talking about the PC. Which is funny to me, because Mac OS is a Unix-based OS.
