Nah, it was something like Microsoft Support or Windows Support.

That is devilishly clever, and wonderful, yet awful and a continuous propagation of their asshatted douchebaggery. The phone calls just get passed on.

In the historic parts of Charleston you can see where they incorporated "earthquake bolts". I'm not sure how much they help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

I used to get repeat calls from some "continuing education" bullshit asking for someone by the name of Sasha by some Indian guy. When I told him I wasn't Sasha, he asked for my name, and I very politely said I don't give out that information. Then they claimed they were from some health organization... Then they claimed they were from M$ and wanted to remote into my "Windows PC" to install their virus scanner because it "was infected, and they were seeing traffic from it". I called that bullshit outright, told the guy I run Linux, and that he was a fscktard scammer. They hung up... Then the next time they called, I acted like I knew him, was too busy to talk, asked for his number, and repeatedly told him I'd call him back in 5 minutes. Man did that piss him off LOL! I'd report them, but they block or disguise their numbers. Now I just don't answer numbers I don't know. If it's important, they will leave a voicemail.

DO YOU HAS THE 5 MIL?

Go home Senor Cardgage, you're scaring the children.

AC.... You don't get a ding.

Ya, I feel the same way. I was like what about us?

And let us never write a song about him...ever.

Except that it appears the BPA alternatives they created as replacements can be just as bad, and sometimes worse. http://www.motherjones.com/env...

Incorporating solar panels into low income housing doesn't sound like a bad idea so long as the panel infrastructure were stable and went undamaged by the residents. They get housing, and they provide themselves and others energy.

Definitely two evils here, HP and the unsympathetic, trojan lacing, pirate hackers. Though I can see how you might think they are one in the same.

I think that story is largely overblown. Those statistics are gathered from their site (W3Schools), and their site only. All that really shows is that most users who visit W3Schools don't run IE. And that doesn't surprise me. Why would anyone that deals with web development want to use a browser which has historically not followed standards and caused so much heartache for the web development community to support? This article doesn't surprise me either. I thought the target was obvious.

Adobe can choke and die on its DRM if it wants. I hope the ebook community can find an open alternative.
