HACK RATING SYSTEM
RainbowTigress:
I thought you were being serious, tunaisafish. It was hard for me to believe someone could be that ignorant, but I've heard plenty of stories. I am relieved to hear that you were just joking. I was just waiting for JM or someone to burninate you. ;D

Great and original system.
Actually, it's a ripoff and mockery of the Terror Alert Scale. Which is a very typical MATY behavior, ripping off and making fun of things.
Whatever it is, it surely have its place here... I always found the terror alert scale a bit crazy (since sneezing would put america on a red alert) so you making fun it is awesome!

I don't trust "automatic updates" because they'll install godknowswhat with no oversight. And the manual updates are increasingly incooperative.
Exactly why I don't have it enabled too. The thought of 'MY' machine wanting to call the mothership to install patches that are likely fix one thing and break others at the same times gives me the shivers. Incoorperative you say? I spent the hour between my first two posts in this thread being told my browser was no good, then it needs to update IE to read this 'special' webpage, then I need to reboot because I farted, then my registration fails as I've upgraded my machine too much. >:( Bah, I'm gonna remove the wmf stuff from the handlers.

There a Techie saying; "Never attribute to malice what could be explained by ignorance."
So along the same lines; "Never attribute to ignorance what could be explained by an Englishman trying to be witty" ;)
I'm getting out of here now before I make any more a fool of myself.

My solution is to defect to Firefox. And use that Russian guy's patch later.

But there are no apparent warnings of swimming-pool-related terror.
Now I have this image of a popup on the right-hand side of my vision every time I get in a pool saying "An omniscient being has removed the ladder. You will now float here until you die."
