Comic Transcript

ALEX: What are you doing? If the Boss catches you using Linux in the office --

KING: Relax. Mark ran OS/2 on his PC for years and nobody ever found out. And this distribution of Linux looks exactly like XP in nearly every way.

MONK: Yeah, well, Mark switched from OS/2 to Linux.

KING: So?

ALEX: So after that he was branded a "Linux Terrorist" by the Federal Government and is currently working on a classified project at a secure facility in an undisclosed location in exchange for being taken off the "No-Fly" List.

KING: See? The Boss didn't do a thing.

The "Learn How to Talk to Hot Women" advert...

5 January 2010 - 5:43pm — David Nale

I can see no need for such instructions for the men who post messages here.

If you look back at strip 1800 you will see they that are aware of the kind of talk that makes a woman hot and passionate...

Nothing excites a woman more than having you talk "geek" to her...

Trust me... Would I lie to you?

The anti-Scottish SPAM filter strikes again!

I posted a really witty response to the new adverts (which are now gone) and I got marked as a SPAMer yet again!
Maybe Chris will post it once he wakes up from his long winter's nap... but it has lost its point with the passage of time.

Look, just chuckle appreciatively as if you had seen it, read it and liked it...

Thank you...

Thanks Chris...

It is always nice to know that there is a human being who can outvote the automation.

No worries.

The spam filter will learn to respect Scottsmen! This I swear!

I just had a semi-X-rated thought on this spam filter issue

If the Scottish connection cannot be identified (and subsequently adjusted), here is another possibility: maybe it triggers (among other things) on keywords, including deliberately misspelled versions of common spam terms.

Now can anyone think of a possibly spammy word (in the porn realm) of which "Nale" might be a misspelling? ;-)

Again, just a thought...

A point to consider...

I have to admit that this possibility had not occurred to me...

Maybe it is just because it is a "four-letter-word".

The Spam Filter simply believes

that kilts are obscene.

Maybe so...

8 January 2010 - 5:49pm — David Nale

Maybe so, but kilts are looking up.
