This goes a significant way to explaining why Notes is probably the worst program I've ever had the misfortune to be lumbered with using. Nice that his bit of it is well made, though. cf.

When I worked at a computer games store during uni, I called in sick from my friend's car, parked in the car part at Alton Towers.

Got away with it, too. Suck that, tkchrist.

Further cementing my belief that as long as stupid people keep commiting crime, we're relatively safe.

Except from the minority of smart people who commit crime, who tend to end up being voted into some kind of office.

I think it'll have a fairly impact on pretty much all IE users. Tabbed browsing will change the way some people use the web - at least, those who aren't already using FireFox. Or Safari.

That is, if you've got a Genuine, Validated Windows XP install on your computer.

Yeah, though this is a bad thing for Apple, it's a little too close to the Zune launch for me to discount the idea of industrial espionage. That said, any Windows user who doesn't have a a decent free antivirus program (that, preferably, isn't a fat, annoying resource hog like Norton AV), is probably already so riddled with virii that RavMonE.exe couldn't find a seat.

I've always held the belief - nay, the knowledge - that the best and most accurate way to calculate the halfway mark between two points is by placing urinals at regular intervals between them, then seeing which one the third guy pees in.
