After the gulf oil spill, I don't dislike deepwater oil drilling. I dislike the completely irresponsible company that floundered around for weeks before they even tried to fix the leak. There is nothing inherently evil about drilling for oil as long as adequate precautions are taken.

When you go to a coffee shop or convenience store and see a donation center for curing your favorite disease, read the fine print. Almost all of them will say the donations go to something like "cancer awareness". I think pretty much everyone is already AWARE of cancer. How about allocating the donations to RESEARCH?!

Comment Re:One of those "Microsoft Support" calls was biza (Score 1) 215

I strung one along for a while when he called me. He asked me to take a look at my computer (I have several), so I chose the one running freeDOS. He asked me to look at my desktop with all the icons and I said "I don't HAVE any icons". This caused him to transfer me to a 2nd tier technician. I'm not going to wait on the line for someone I don't want to talk to, so I hung up. That's when the 2nd tier guy calls me back (I ignored it - go to VM) THREE TIMES.
