Perhaps the real WTF is that you managed to get paid for unemployment from companies you quit from in the past.

The good Office or the crappy British knock-off?

After watching the British one, I hated the first few episodes of the US version, but the US version kinda grew on me, and now I prefer that version.

 Quite entertaining. A little bit like the TV show The Office, but in blog form.

Not Yahoo, which repeatedly read the very same page over and over again - which cost a noticable amount of bandwidth. I ended up banning Yahoo's bot by Apache rules, as the site couldn't be found on Yahoo anyway.

If you don't want to be indexed, why not use a robots.txt file? Or doesn't Yahoo honour it anymore?

I'm not really sure what all the enthusiam was about if he person didn't understand that they can fix things like that themselves....I didn't even correctly spell the name they originally asked me to enter.

They asked if they can fix this, so it looks like they realized they could do it themselves for new changes. Perhaps they were just being polite to ask first, seeing that you indicated you already made those changes and they didn't want to step on your toes.

 What, no lead lining?  What happens if World War 3 breaks out?

Didn't you know? It already broke out! I received this email from a random concerned person on the internets, so it must be true!

"Just now US Army's Delta Force and US Air Force have invaded Iran. Approximately 20000 soldiers crossed the border into Iran and broke down the Iran's Army resistance. The video made by US soldier was made today morning. Click on the video to see the first minutes of the beginning of World War III. God save us".

HP shatters excessive packaging world record

17 boxes to protect 32 A4 sheets

We've just had an email from a shaken Stephen Strang who this morning took delivery of a very, very large box from HP:

Stephen said: "Imagine our excitement as we opened it, hoping against hope that it might contain a copy of some c-class virtual connect firmware that actually works."

Sadly not. What the überbox did contain was 16 smaller boxes "which in turn [each] contained (wrapped in foam so they wouldn't get broken) exactly two sheets of A4 paper":

Yup, so that's 17 boxes in total to protect 32 pages. A world-class effort there from HP. ®

 What's a spam carpet?

It is something you sweep your spam under, of course.

Guess you've never heard of XSS then. 

 I have, if you mean cross site scripting? Do you propose tricking someone with local access to the server into running malicious code with the local user's privileges?

Perhaps to save you some future support calls you need to remove him from the local sudoers list on his own machine too ;-)
