So it’s not as though I really need to point out or drive traffic to the little-known website called Slashdot, but every now and then I just can’t help myself. Take this thread, for instance:
Gator Forces Site To Remove ‘Spyware’ Label
There’s a lot of good vitriol in there, but this tidbit really caught my eye as a piece of above-and-beyond humor:
Dear Gator,
Gator is Spyware, you f***ers. Spyware. Spyware. Spyware.
Please send me a nastygram. My career is stalled, and I could really use the publicity.
Love,
Wil Wheaton
Linux weenie who doesn’t even use your crappy SPYware.PS- It’s spyware.
He’s right, you know. Gator is spyware. The best removal tool for all such malware is Spybot Search & Destroy, just so you know.
That, or don’t run Windows. *smirk*
(Yes, Mari, I linked to Wil Wheaton. Yes, this is one of the signs of the forthcoming Apocalypse.)

The apocalypse is coming! The apocalypse is coming! Run for your lives!
Wanna borrow my copy of Dancing Barefoot? *grin*
And Wil’s ability to snark at himself and admit his shortcomings is one reason why i think he is so cool… besides, i like when he gets on his soapbox about stuff (like Gator).
HA! I love that… Reminds me quite a bit of “Life of Brian”… “Jehovah! Jehovah!”
Y’know, I don’t like Wheaton much, but ya gotta have a little respect for someone who can be that honest about themselves.
