Perhaps I could go as John Titor?..........
MIT is hosting a Time Travelers Convention this weekend. How would they know that I am not John Titor anyway? Hmmm, should I skip the soundseeing tour this weekend?

Democracy is the worst form of government.........
Except for all the rest. Breaking my vow to Uncle Kirk about not saying anything political, I just had to say "how insane is this?"

Create your own VB.COM - A suggestion to the MVPs that want their VB6 back
I have read this evening where a number of MVPs are signing a petition asking for Microsoft to add Classic VB back into the Visual Studio IDE. I would suggest that since they see a market for this, they can download the VSIP SDK and build an open source addin to Visual Studio so that they can have their own VB.COM.BTW, I love to program in VB. I think it is a great language. I write stuff in it today. I have been doing my demos in VB.NET. VB6 was a great language and environment. It still is. Applications run with it today. Given the choice, I just don't want to go back. And, I don't want the total confusion this would create. 2 VBs? No thanks.WallyPS. I wish I could take credit for the idea, but Paul Murphy came up with the idea in an IM conversation last night. Geez, I wish I was as smart as him. :-) -

Non-Technical - Adware/Spyware developers and marketing folks are not my favorite people
At one of my customer's, when I am not there, someone else will use the computer that I use, due to resource limitations. That is fine with me, I'm not there all the time. Unforntunately, about a month ago, one of these folks somehow got hoodwinked into installing some adware/spyware. Now, whenever, I show up in the morning, I get one popup screen after another (AOL 9.0, MSN, Refurbished Dell computers (like I would ever buy a Dell again), and such) on this development computer. I have tried Spybot and Ad-Aware SE. Spybot sees almost nothing (yes it is fully updated). Ad-Aware SE sees some of these files, but whenever I instruct Ad-Aware to remove the files, these same files keep coming back. I'm not criticizing Spybot and Ad-Aware for being bad products, merely that they can't handle the current situation. I have googled for all of these adware, spyware, malware products, but I have never been able to get these scum bags removed. These products are wupdt.exe, polmx3.exe, and qwnpln.exe. I am fearful that the only way to resolve this problem is going to be to repave and start over with this machine. About 12 months ago, someone installed some adware product at my office. It messed up everything with the computer and the only solution was to repave. About 3 months ago, I got caught by the Download.Ject virus and I just repaved and started over. These spyware people wonder why no one likes them.......Geez.
