When submitting a bug, don't give a link for Russian Mail Order Brides as an example...

I wrote you about 6 months ago about serious bug when Firewall service blocks all connections of whole system. I haven't heard anything from you since then. Do you have any new builds which I may try ? In your latest build 268 the problem still exists. For instance it 100% reproducable when you open http://love.rambler.ru.

There's a radio commercial around here advertising a computer repair and consulting business in the area. It's the first thing of its kind I've heard. Do you have this in your area? What is your opinion? I found it ever so slightly offensive for some reason.

Thick Indian Accent Man (TIAM): Hello, thank you for calling tech support, how may I help you?
Redneck: Hi, I'm having some trouble with my computer systems.
TIAM: OK, here is what you do. (rapid and melodically, think of Apu yodelling) La bla bla la bla la, La bla bla la bla la, La bla bla la bla la, La bla bla la bla la...
Redneck: What? I can't understand what you're saying. I wish I could talk to someone who makes sense. I need help NOW (whiny)!
Radio Announcer: You don't have to listen to a foreigner. Get help NOW from Powersource, your local computer expert. Laptops, cell phones, iPods, LCD displays! Call us today and speak to someone qualified!

(Note: I don't remember the exact wording, and it's hard to convey this commercial in text)

Disclaimer: This post is all over the spectrum and really not humorous.

( A little off topic, so it's cut. Has to do with my recent employment situation if anyone is truly interested. )

On a more related note, I kind of have to help people fix IE should it break, since it's necessary to use our application. Since yesterday, one of the questions I have been getting most frequently is that since installing IE7 ("It said I had to!") the Language Bar won't go the hell away. Why people call us about this is beyond me, but it's been a popular topic.

Me: Are you online right now?
Them: Yes, I called you on my cell so I can test things.
Me: Cool. Go ahead and try it again, and I'll watch the logs.
Them: Well, I'm not online right now.
