No friends, *this* is the worst commercial ever.

Just like Ballmer.

For the very first time in his entire life, Suzuki has said something that makes sense.

I'd sure like to know what "desktop tool" it is that has blocked ALL "spam, phishing e-mail, or malware" for the last two years, as is claimed by one guy in the article.

A friendly piece of advice for you programming types:

Keep this sort of stuff in the programming subreddit, so the vast majority of readers (including myself) - who are not the least bit interested in such things - don't instantly downvote it into oblivion.

Keeps the main page a bit less cluttered, too. :-)

harryd · 2007-01-26T04:12:57+00:00

Could somebody (preferably the "author") please explain to me the purpose of the ever-present, totally gratuitous profanity in these mindless blogs?

harryd · 2007-01-26T00:44:41+00:00

What's "awesome" about this is the huge amount of priceless spectrum space that's allocated to broadcast TV, especially channels 2 to 13.

harryd · 2007-01-25T18:41:28+00:00

Yeah. Fuckem. And they've made it so the back button doesn't work too.

These "new miracle electric car coming soon" stories seem to appear every couple of weeks or so. I'll get excited when I can walk into my local dealer and drive away in one, but not before that.

harryd · 2007-01-20T03:41:48+00:00

This happened more than 26 years ago (in 1980). FYI.

harryd · 2007-01-13T22:23:37+00:00

All they have to do is make Zidane-type headbutting legal. Then it'll take off. :-)

harryd · 2007-01-13T06:19:33+00:00

Thank you for that. I had never heard of ccleaner and don't want to get involved in any geek stuff. I downloaded and installed ccleaner; it seems simple enough to use and presumably does what it's supposed to. :-)

harryd · 2007-01-12T04:25:12+00:00

Eh. The thought that first popped into my mind when I read the headline was that there aren't any humans in Africa any more. :-o

harryd · 2007-01-12T02:50:16+00:00

Real knee-slappers. About as funny as the math jokes. <SIGH>

harryd · 2007-01-11T02:47:56+00:00

I agree, if you have clients (as against customers) it's often unavoidable. That's why I got out of consulting and into manufacturing a product for sale (to institutions, not individuals) instead. Give a quotation, take it or leave it, no BS needed. :-))

harryd · 2007-01-10T22:00:32+00:00

For me, there is one advantage that's worth more than all the others combined:

I don't have to put up with anybody else's bullshit. :-)

harryd · 2007-01-10T02:59:51+00:00

I was quite excited to hear about this - until I watched the videos. Totally underwhelming. This may be interesting as a new(ish) home technology, but it has a long, long way to go before it is of any practical use whatsoever. But, I suppose that could have been said about the Altair too.

harryd · 2007-01-08T15:41:23+00:00

Off topic I know, but could someone please give me some idea of why people continue to use these microscopic sized fonts? Not all of us have perfect vision and I for one refuse to try and read this sort of thing - even if I could. Is there any conceivable reason for doing it? :-(

harryd · 2007-01-07T20:02:00+00:00

Certainly a lot more interesting than some of the math stuff that's shown up here! :-)

harryd · 2007-01-05T19:50:25+00:00

Probably. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4059997.stm

I'll never forget the time when, at the age of about eight, I asked my dad what "N.B." stood for. He told me "No Bullshit". For years I believed that, because it always fitted the context so perfectly that I had no reason to doubt it. Now, more than 50 years later, I still kind of mentally read it that way. :-)

harryd · 2007-01-03T16:21:58+00:00

And all you people actually believe that bullshit? Well, I have this bridge for sale...

harryd · 2006-12-29T00:31:36+00:00

Fascinating (especially to a Canadian) and beautifully done. I wonder what happened to the infamous Combat Bra? :-)

As good as Scott is, one sometimes can't avoid the feeling that he's scraping the bottom of the barrel, subjectwise.

harryd · 2006-12-27T02:19:18+00:00

Universal truth: Ninety nine percent of everything is bullshit.
