Ärende: WINDOWS UPDATE FIX 00215
================================
 -=> Quoting Lee Lofaso to Glen Jamieson <=-

Hello Lee,
 
 LL> Seems the entire USA was snowed in (except Hawaii) due to the Saints
 LL> winning the Super Bowl.  Not sure how that affected the rest of the
 LL> world, but I would assume most everybody on the face of this planet
 LL> was truly flabbergasted.  Especially Peyton Manning, the quarterback
 LL> for the Indianapolis Colts, who is from the city of New Orleans.

The results of that football match were even given on the TV news
here - after the cricket, of course!
 
 GJ>What are the problems resulting from the Windows updates?  (So far I
 GJ>haven't noticed anything untoward, and my XP computer upgraded
 GJ>yesterday.)  I would have expected the Windows people to put out
 GJ>another update to correct any faults.

 LL> The blue screen of death.  No way to restore computer to working
 LL> condition.  Microsoft has since ditched the file and is no longer
 LL> distributing it.

As I only boot up the XP for a short time, once a day, it is likely
that the faulty update was found and corrected by MS while I was
off-line.  Anyway, I have recorded the procedure so that I can correct
the fault if it should eventually arrive by some obscure path.
 

 LL> If your computer did not crash, you should be safe.
 LL> IOW, if if ain't broke, don't fix it.

Thanks, and I shall take the path of minimum action, as usual.
 
 GJ>And now our government wants to ban pictures of small-breasted women!

 LL> What silliness will politicians think up next?  There are lots of
 LL> arcane laws, still on the books, but never enforced.  Such as making
 LL> it against the law to tie up pet alligators to a fire hydrant.  Not
 LL> that anybody in his/her right mind would keep an alligator as a pet.

This is a new law, aimed at eliminating what our nanny government
considers to be child pornography.  These judges, of course, consider
themselves above any moral corruption.

In Darwin, it is illegal to keep pet crocodiles over a metre long.
The crocodile farms there lend young crocs to people who raise them to
that size, and then give them back to the farm.  Just the thing to
drop into someone's swimming pool for laughs!
