Gator or Claria; a spyware by another name is just the same

Gator was one of the worst pests until it changed the name to Claria and managed to disappear from the limelight. What changed apart from the name? Little or nothing. They still track&spy on what the users do and send it to a central location. With careful wording in the EULAs they have convinced the lawyers that they should be declassified from spyware to adware. Who cares about the name? Crap by any other name is just the same! The deals and money involved are worthy of a Grisham novel.


The worst part is that Gator Claria is no longer identified by antispyware due to the deals they have made.

A Prayer for the Stressed!

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I cannot accept,
and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had
to kill today because they pissed me off.


And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today
as they may be connected to the ass that I may have
to kiss tomorrow.


Help me to always give 100% at work....
12% on Monday
23% on Tuesday
40% on Wednesday
20% on Thursday
5% on Fridays


And help me to remember.....
When I'm having a really bad day,
and it seems that people are trying to piss me off,
that it takes 42 muscles to frown and
only 4 to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me!


Amen

Sewing machine for sale

(from my inbox)


A man with a sewing machine to sell placed a classified ad in a newspaper
with the following results.


MONDAY: For Sale: R.D. Smith has one sewing machine for sale. Call 958.
Call after 7 p.m. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him cheap.


TUESDAY: We regret having erred in R.D. Smith's ad yesterday. It should have
read: For Sale: R.D. Smith has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 958
and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him after 7 p.m.


WEDNESDAY: R.D. Smith has informed us that he has received several annoying
telephone calls because of an error we made in his classified ad yesterday.
His ad stands corrected: For Sale: R.D. Smith has one sewing machine for
sale. Cheap. Phone 958 after 7 p.m. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who loves with
him.


THURSDAY: Notice: I, R.D. Smith, have no sewing machine for sale. I smashed
it. Don't call 958, the phone has been taken out. I have not been carrying
on with Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday, she was my housekeeper.

Why sex is better to women than to men

A great quote from Dilbert Newsletter 62.0:



One of my co-workers (who is originally from Arkansas, just FYI) told me one day that he knew for a fact that sex feels better for women than it does for men.  I asked, "How do you figure that?"  His reply was (and I am not making this up!), "Because when you put your finger in your ear and wiggle it around, it feels better to your ear than it does to your finger."
