Sinfest – Marriage isn’t Gay
You really need to read the other previous comics for this to make more sense. And don't get me wrong I'm not against marriage.
Windows XP SP2
Microsoft is working on releasing a new Service Pack (updates to Windows XP), called SP2. This Service Pack is going to have lots of fixes that have been released on www.windowsupdate.com, but also some new security features. A pop-up ad blocker, and application firewall is turned on by default. This flys in the face of Zone Alarm and other applicatoins, but given NOBODY seems to run those, having a built in one that is 'good' enough for family members, and allow us Geeks to guy something more powerful. I just hope they don't have a quick... disable all button that will make the thing useless. 🙁 Its 340MB so expect Microsoft to offer CD's for people to obtain the update. Since its Free, you can ask me to make you a copy of it. I want everyone I know running the released version of this.
Here are some good links talking about the beta of SP2.
