    What was the Chinese kid’s Dvorak username?

    #1 – Sister Mary Hand Grenade of Quiet Reflection – What was the Chinese kid’s Dvorak username?

    No idea, but his WoW name was Punchme… He should have told the rehab staff his real name…

  3. Sister Mary Hand Grenade of Quiet Reflection says:

    Jäg, I was kinda hoping it was Alf…

    Federal Tax revenues have fallen 18% at least so for this year. I take that as a measure of how far the economy has fallen. Cisco suggests things may be worse than that in some sectors.

    Perhaps Alfs real name was George? It could explain some of his irrational rants.

    Well, I guess they did cure his internet addiction…

    In communist China internet hacks you!

    Dear Microsoft,

    Just give up and release your own version of *nix just like Apple. It will be painful but it will be worth it.

  8. Ich aale mich says:

    I discovered recently NTFS and Ext4 don’t want to coexist. Windows XP will boot the first time but on the second one, LILO fails and neither Linux nor XP can be booted.

    Guess Sarah is now an MS slug…wow.

  10. Might I say incidentally that to me, as a developer, Android’s SDK is garbage.

    For comparison, I got myself set up to code for Windows Mobile in 10 minutes using free software. In a half-hour, I had my GUI done.

    I looked at Android and nothing made sense. Bizarre acronyms. No quick reference sheet, missing documentation. I had to ask questions in forums. Reasonable assumptions proved wrong.

    Google is the worst company I have seen yet at explaining and organizing things.

    Google reminds me of those Master’s degree students who, because they cannot communicate worth a damn and have huge egos, just assume that the fact that no one understands them is evidence of their superiority.

    I suspect Google is a dot-com bubble unto itself.
