Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth

Posted by timothy on from the filthy-thoughts-too dept.

IainMH writes "There's a story over at BBC News about how work stations contain nearly 400 times as many microbes than lavatories. Gross. 'A desk is capable of supporting 10 million bacteria and the average office contains 20,961 germs per square inch, according to research. ... By contrast, the average toilet seat contains 49 germs per square inch, the survey showed.'"

    Jesus Christ I have never seen something so worthless in my life. I knew sitefinder was crap, but I thought it might at least have basic search capabilities. All it has is stupid crap to sell to people who started using the internet just yesterday. Verisign is no better than affiliate marketers who spam Google with their link farms.

    That was an on-purpose joke. Slashdot reported that fact long ago.
