New Symantec "feature" compromises machine
[link|http://pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,111327,00.asp|http://pcworld.com/n...aid,111327,00.asp]

Hilarious. Look at the PCWORLD front page - lots of negative stuff happening in Winland.

One of Symantec's products blocked SPAM real well - in fact it blocked all email containing the letter "p"! :)

"Hi Mom,

Just to let you know I'll be home for Thanksgiving. Tell enny and eggy I'm coming. How's op doing? Is he taking his ills?

-Love eter"

New I gott take a "p":)
Well take one for me too, this whistle doesn't work without one. :) Old Benny Hill routine with two referres.

NAV is funny, if IE goes down, so does it. The same with McAfee. Hard to trust an AV product that relies on IE to function.

I can imagine some Noob who got the AntiSpam update that blocked the letter "P":
"Wow look at this thing work, it just blocked 90% of my email. It must be working right as no other Spam blcoker came this close."

New Surviving Windows.
I find there are several options:

1. Stay in last century. Like '98 or so, back when Windows ran on Pentium 200s and didn't expect an internet connection to phone home.

2. Be a Microsoft beta tester and always have recent hardware. Expensive, unfortunately, in several ways.

3. Let someone else fix it. Especially useful if you run Something Else on your desktop as it makes it harder for you to be called on to fix a broken Windows.

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

Fighting and romance are weirdly similar in many ways. Two people lock eyes in a crowded room. Everybody can feel the intensity of the emotions between them. One of them suggests that they step outside. “Come on, just you and me.” It starts out dignified, but they end up rolling around, tearing at each other’s clothing.

Also, both fighting and romance tend to look a lot better in movies than they do in real life.
