4, 14, 23 ...

I'm stumped. Can I ask my friends Duke and Billy for help?
Posted on entry Godawful User Interface ::: February 24, 2005, 10:25 PM:
None of this surprises me. The user interface design and implementation was probably outsourced and then never tested after delivery.

Get used to more and more of this, as the American software industry disappears into the Wal-Mart world of cheaper above all, including quality.

The "Support Our Troops" ribbons and decals are all made in China.

Kip W's entry is Dipsy, Laa Laa, and Po, the Teletubbies, in The (Prisoner's) Village. (But where's Tinky Winky?)

Alex Cohen is channelling Robert Parker.

Breaking: the Attorney General nominee will be White House Counsel Alberto ("tear up the Geneva Convention", "torture is OK") Gonzales.

We are indeed getting someone worse than Ashcroft.

Get those bastards.
Posted on entry Bad advice on cover letters ::: May 20, 2004, 12:12 PM:
