Would you use 9 year old milk?

IE6 is compared to 9 year old milk – by MICROSOFT no-less.
I find this hilarious – because I compared it to 9 year old beer the other day. Another study also showed that people are better at using updated browsers at home than they are at work.
The IT departments are blaming it on “business critical systems” that require IE6.
WTF? A company that have not updated their routines or their software for 9 years – seriously I would not like to do business with those people.
For sure, IE 8 still has faults, but compared to the bastard child of a hundred maniacs it is a step in the right direction.
Gotta love the spam

I love the variations of the standard Nigerian spam letters. You know the kind. Where a long lost princess need someone help her get a Scrooge McDuck amount of money out of their war torn country.
I have decided to publish all that I receive here, because I find them amusing and would probably make a good book.
Here is my first entry in this category. I shall call this “The russian library doesn’t burn books”. I received it from two addresses, which in my book indicate that the spammer found my email address in two seperate address books.

Hi,
My name is Elena, I have 32 years and I write you from Russian province. I work in library and I can use computer after my work when possible. I finded your address in internet while visited some sites and decided to write you this desperate letter.
I have daughter Angelina, she is 8 years, her father abandoned us and we live with my mother.
Due to financial crisis my mother recently lost job and our situation became very difficult.
The prices for gas and electricity is very high in our region and we cannot use it to heating our home anymore.
The winter is coming and weather becoming colder each day. We very afraid and we don’t know what to do.
The only accessible way for us to heat our home is to use portable oven which work with burning wood. We have enough wood in our region and this oven will heat our home all winter for minimal charges.
Unfortunately, we cannot buy such oven in our city because it price equivalent of 191 Euro and very expensive for us.
If you have any old portable oven and in case you don’t use it anymore, we will be very grateful to you if you can donate it to us and organize transport of this oven to our address (200km from Moscow). This ovens are different, usually they made from cast iron.
I will be waiting your answer.
Elena and my family. ”
Russia.
Now doesn’t that bring a tear to your eyes? Don’t you want to immediately send this poor family a cast iron stove that is portable? Because clearly, the ground is too bloody good for these people to burn wood on. I think that we really should pinpoint where this email came from and then dive bomb the place with cast iron stoves.
