Class in a glass. Microsoft releases its superly duperly awaited OneCare “protection and maintenance service” shortly.
Clicking through the OneCare web site to order the software, you`ll understand the type of people they hope to fleece out of a few bob.
“In order to complete installation of Windows Live OneCare, you must be running Internet Explorer 6 or later as your Web browser. Please switch to Internet Explorer and then restart Setup by typing http://www.windowsonecare.com/purchase into the browser address field.”
Not a chance, my fine furry friends at Microsoft. I`ll stick with Firefox and apt-get.
So not only do they produce shite software that`s falling apart at the seams, but they want to charge you for any fixes [...]
Some sort of lo-tech Minority Report bollocks going on?
Just received an e-mail from the Brian Haw mailing list thingie, showing an Early Day Motion in support of his protest. I suggest you lobby your MP to support it. Our local MP is an absolute cunt who tends to abstain from every important vote and tow the Labour line when he needs to. Great value for money, Gareth Thomas, you spineless smarmy git.
Anyway, I clicked through a couple of the politicans` names on the right to see the sort of motions they support, and stumbled upon this scary shit.
Read read read.. blah blah.. obvious stuff.. hang on.. “any findings of private companies engaging in the [...]
Bluetooth`s victory over graphics cards. RARRRRRRRR!
The nice thing about having a PC is that you can buy software and hardware and plug it in and make it do stuff. Well that`s the theory anyway.
This morning I plugged in my little USB Bluetooth dongle thingie. It`s nothing flashy, but is useful for transferring files between the computer and phone. Plug it in, and it just works. Usually. Today, Windows decided to fart in its general direction.
Install completed, reboot required. What is it about Windows and reboots? You don`t get this crap with Linux. Machine starts up, and wooooo – 8 colour display! Obviously you`d expect a USB Bluetooth device [...]
Ringleader of The Quiffs added!
Well what a miserable ranty weblog week it`s been. But anyway..
Ringleader of The Tormentors has now been added to The Illustrated Smiths, so get cracking with your quifftastic pics. 188 songs and counting! Super duper.
The brave police once again stamp on Brian
Oh dear oh dear oh dear what an absolute disgrace.
You may not even support his views. But at least support his right to express them.
They can`t stop crime, the streets are flooded with drugs, people are being fined for dropping a Wotsit on the street, and the Home Office hasn`t a clue what it`s doing. Still, it`s only right to pounce on a man who`s been a thorn in the government`s side for speaking out and making a peaceful protest.
Don`t let the door hit you up the arse on your way out, John Reid.
Disgusting.
Update: there will be a non protest tomorrow, people merely around that area; details here. Unfortunately I [...]
