None of the Above: Spyware vexes me:

None of the Above

by Marble

Forcrying out loud we have debate about solid scientific models in this country, how can those percieving bias on the other side be considered in any way legitimate? I agree with Machiavelli, perception is reality. But that is only in politics because politics is artifice. It aims at misrepresenting the world. If you take that as the basis of your reality, then of course there is no objective perspective. What then is the point of communication? Solely bending others to your will?

Spyware vexes me: I downloaded something from suprnova.org and got hellacious bunches of spyware and adware. Ugh! So I ran ad-aware a few times (one time there were 300 items, and I had to click the little checkbox for each one individually - those buggers make it annoying like that to try to get you to pay for the full version, heh), and finally got rid of it. Well, most of it. I still get pop-ups but not very frequently, so for now I am just dealing.

I guess I'm experiencing outrage fatigue because I just don't have the energy to get as pissed off as I should be. My outrage gland has run out of juice.
