    Clippy would like to help, and I think there is very little else to say.

    Clippy is obviously guilty.

    Mr. Coward, perhaps Clippy can help you out.

  4. Re: IE doesnt support blink by fm6 · · Score: 1 · on Are You Annoying?
    Man, the MS bashing has hit a new low when people are attributing Moz/Netscape stuff to MS.
    Well, Microsoft did invent that irritating Marquee tag, so it's not as if they didn't try. In fact, Microsoft has introduced so many annoying features over the years, it's natural to blame them for any that come along.

    Still, it's wise to remember that Netscape did its share in adding to feature bloat, user irritation, and HTML incompatability.

  5. Toshiba troubles? You're not alone. by vaxer · · Score: 5, Interesting · on The Ethics of Desktop Chips Stuffed Into Laptop PCs

    A friend of mine went through hell trying to get any customer service from Toshiba. Even when they finally agreed that he deserved a replacement, he got censored (and censured) for telling other customers.

  7. Embarrass yourself now, avoid the rush by vaxer · · Score: 2 · on Google Expands Usenet Archive to 20 Years

    You already know that people are going to Google you. Save them the trouble by doing what I did -- tell them about the skeletons in your closet. Remember, it can't be used to blackmail you if it's already public record...

  10. The Word wizard works on so many levels... by JWhitlock · · Score: 1 · on Welcome to the World of Quickies Entertainment

    The Word suicide wizard is quite funny. I loved it the first time I saw it, and had to fire up Word to see if it was really there. There's a letter wizard, of course, but not a Suicide Note wizard. I was sad.

    Now, the second time I've seen it, I noticed something - the options are "Pills", "Jump", and "Pastry". Pastry? Not only do those guys at Microsoft add a suicide wizard, but they use one option no one would want to use, and leave off "gun"! It's an excellent paraody of the lame help the Clip gives you over time. I think it's an idea Microsoft may not even get right by version 3.0.

  11. Wizard guy fights with Toshiba - more interesting by Kris_J · · Score: 3 · on Welcome to the World of Quickies Entertainment

    The guy that did the wizard that probably doesn't exist has just come off a 53 day battle to get a 6 day old Toshiba laptop repaired/replaced. I strongly recommend reading the log. The guy's writing style is great fun - have a look at http://www.vaxer.net/~jeeves/
