Things I learned today on the Internets
- The chief muckety muck at computer security company Kaspersky claimed that Microsoft Vista’s User Account Control (UAC), is so annoying that most users will simply turn it off. He said that without UAC, Vista will be less secure than Windows XP SP2. I don’t know. I think most Windows users are used to dealing with annoying things so they might just leave it on.
- This is probably the best anti-war sign I’ve seen. Not that I have seen all that many of them.
- I’ve discovered the blog of another person here in Hagerstown. I’ve added a link to her blog to my blogroll. Check out Trapper Jen MD.
- Who would have thought Carol Burnett wouldn’t understand the concept of parody? This is just kind of sad.
- Speaking of sad, yesterday was the fourth anniversary of the Iraq invasion. Though I refuse to put one of those stupid magnetic yellow ribbons on my car, I support the troops. I support them so much that I want them to come home. Now.
- Last week, Procter & Gamble Co. won a jury award of $19.25 million in a civil lawsuit filed against four former Amway distributors that started a rumor that P&C were run by Satanists. Amway is the company that make a line of overpriced household cleaning products. People sell Amway products in their homes to friends, family, and coworkers. I remember as a kid being told in church that P&G was run by devil worshipers. This is funny.
- Here is a link to a website that always seems to have a direct link to the current Borders store coupon. If there is one. It’s easier to go to this site then the actual Borders website.
- President Bush says nobody in his administration did anything wrong in firing federal prosecutors. To prove it, he will allow Congress to question Karl Rove and Harriet Miers. As long as it’s in private and off the record. Also, neither Rove or Miers will be sworn under oath to ensure that they aren’t lying.
- Dick Cheney’s feeble body broke down again today forcing him to return to the hospital. Did he go to Walter Reed? No, he went to George Washington University Hospital.
