Well, MSBlast is out doing its little thing, and I sit back here, laughing, no longer bothering to try to help on the MS newsgroups.
Why?
It reminds me of my days in tech support. The same inane questions that could be solved if the user would bother to - oh, I don't know, READ something. Like the question just below his. Which has the same answer for the 3, 527th time that day.

Oh, and people want to blame MS for this. OK, I'll give you that the flaw was in their software. Big suprise. Yet - it was patched a MONTH ago. (Nearly. July 16th.) It got delivered to people - Delivered to them! - by Windows Update. Yet they were too lazy or "scared" (huh?) to update it.

What's next, write a check for a million dollars, HAND it to them, put it on the table, GIVE THEM A PEN, and say "You have three weeks to put your name on this check and cash it for a million dollars." And they don't, then complain they didn't sign it - and blame the person who offered it to them?

Fucking morons.Even moreso after its been TALKED about on the news, online, etc. for the last few weeks.

Me, I'm sitting here, patched (as are all the systems here, and they have been for at least two weeks if not longer) and behind a firewall.

Yeah, that was SO hard to do. I had to... horror of horrors... double click!

Sorry, but the people that are getting hit with this have only themselves to blame, IMHO. Not that they'll be able to READ this 'til they get their act together....

And if one more person asks "Duh, is my copy of Windows XP 32 or 64 bit?" I'm going to strangle them. (Of course, these people wouldn't know the difference anyway.)
