Well, that was kinda funny - DeeBye - 04-14-2006
I had totally forgotten to turn off Windows Firewall. I use Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5 instead as it also blocks outgoing stuff.
I also don't use Internet Explorer all that often, but I was visiting a website that required it.
I took a screenshot of the hilarity. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Dee, I'm afraid that it's time for you to change your "custom member title"...

In the line of amusing stuff: incredible machines from japan. Remember the software game "the incredible machine", where you build simple machines to move small objects around (levers, cranks, whirligigs)? This is a 10+ minute long video of a lot of such machines.

Oh god no. I read Slashdot every once in a while, but I absolutely loathe the zealot Linux-user "Micro$oft, Internet Exploder" comments that infest that place.

Okay, this one made me laugh :D
The difference between you and typical Slashdot posters is that you don't write 2,000 word rants on the subject at every available opportunity.
I don't even know why I have Slashdot bookmarked. It makes me angry every time I go there :(

There's a word for these overly elaborate machines that do very silly and trivial things.

Microsoft? Windows?
Your local PTA or school board?
The government? Republicans? Democrats? Insert political party here?
