This one is soo good: "Oddly enough, Visual Studio .Net, a program used to write code and produce web based programs will not be affected. "We decided to leave one product alone and Visual Studio won out", stated Xu-Lin." <....> "Customers may download the free 135.7 GB PDF file on our homepage, and teach themselves programming", lamented Xu-Lin."

I know the site is trying to be funny, but I don't think it is funny. And parallels between the Nazis and Bill Gates are a non-starter with me. As for the XP SP2 update, my wife tried it last night. Complete nightmare. It opened up previously closed ports (odd for a security-conscious update) and broke a whole bunch of programs. It took her hours to resecure her PC (she connects directly to the internet instead of going through the hardware firewall built into the wireless router). It also screwed up her Ad-Aware list of banned URL's. She was rather irate. -- Read Jake's Blog at http://blogs.slcdug.org/jjacobson/ Or Get the RSS Feed at http://blogs.slcdug.org/jjacobson/Rss.aspx Everything contained in this post that is not quoted from others, is merely an opinion.

I guess I'm not very well acquainted with such things, I didn't catch the connection at all until you pointed it out. I still think the main article is funny, without the picture, but the pic's gone too far.
