Microsoft Refund Day! What a cool idea! Also, one man who actually got his money back in Australia It isn't every day you see a joke correction. This is one of those days. Plus, a sofware warning about the hazards of upgrading from GirlFriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0. And, in case you haven't already seen enough Y2K humor, we offer two fake memos. Or are they? You remember The Big Lie, right? Hitler's propaganda technique? It's back, in the well of the U.S. Senate. Plus Neal Macklin on Insanity in Iraq. Another place the Big Lie is alive an well is on the step's of the federal courthouse in Washington, where it is practiced daily by Microsoft. Plus, a Microsoft case you never heard of and Microsoft would like to keep it that way. TechWeb Today is the Web Site of the Week. Kent Peterman offers another Chattanooga Choo-Choo Joke, I reprint Horror Movie Rules and again, no letters qua letters. Why Impeachment is like an M80 in a Cow Pie. My daughter Marlow says we need Instant Runoff Voting in this country, and I agree. Is Microsoft's constant hypocrisy making you a little queasy? It sure makes me want to toss my cookies. Speaking of cookies (what a transition), I let David Strom explain why Cookies are Better Than PINs. Brill's Content is my favorite magazine. Give the web site a try. Maybe it will become yours too. I tell a Shaggy Dog Story or Two, proving that the Internet is not the A plaintive whine, but no solution for the problem of getting back to work after a pleasant vacation. Neal Macklin asks: why are we still worrying about IRQs and wonders if Microsoft political contributions helped the S.C. A.G. decide to drop out of the antitrust case. Craig Reynolds seconds the Net Skink's musings on Gates' wealth, and wonders if Microsoft developers are as sleazy as its lawyers. Bob and Ray were the two funniest men ever to share a radio show in the country. They live on in videotape; find out where! This week's humor is a subject most of you need no help with: How To Annoy People. Finally, we get a weak endorsement of Java digressions, as well as letters from Matt Jalbert, Harrison Klein and John Kavazanjian (with praise and disagreement for my impeachment writing) as well as David Ferdinand. Paul's treacley sentimental Christmas Column, version 1.0, a very important piece of journalism from Wendy Goldman Rohm on the subject of Microsoft attempts to subvert the First Amendment rights of journalists, a Y2K joke, a Santa Claus list and a fundamentalist joke. Also Letters from Daniel P. Dern (friends make the best search engines), Jerry Colonna (he liked the impeachment editorial), Neal Macklin (java popups: maybe not a great idea), Jim Forbes (on the penultimate NCC). Read my take on the boobocracy in Congress in a little editorial I call: The Haters Won: Impeachment. There's a lot to read, but you only HAVE to read my impeachment editorial. That's not all. I also tackle the phony Carryon Baggage crisis (with some help from Joe Brancatelli), take yet another look back at the last NCC, comment on the sad lack of ethics shown by lawyers who publicly lie about the law when they know better, speculate about the Microsoft plan to bore the media out of the courtroom at its antitrust trial, share a Nicely Put Putdown of Bill, pick my own weekly webcast as the Site of the Week, share a few bits of humor and close off with mail from Kent Peterman, Joe Brancatelli, and Daniel P. Dern. A day that will not live in infamy. The nearly all-humor issue features 10 bits of unusually hilarious Internet humor, only a small fraction of which I wrote myself. Of course, I couldn't keep my dudgeon low over the Microsoft trial, and I couldn't resist reprinting Craig Reynolds' sharp comments either. And then there's more on the death of NCC from Jim Forbes and Neal Macklin, plus I had to rail against fake virus alerts in general by using one specific example. At least I didn't pick a web site of the week. And how could I not print Macklin's letter, or the anonymous letter I got about plagiarism? I mean, how could I not? A return to the usual monkey-mind leaps from subject to subject, as I include not enough humor, but a mercifully brief general news section. The GOP is self-destructing over impeachment, so I am gracefully limiting my gloating, while pointing you at some from the lovely and talented Molly Ivins. You probably missed Bill Gate's plan to charge a recurring fee for Windows; I tell you about it here. You almost certainly don't know my web site of the week, ProComp, a place to go for anti-Microsoft trial spin. Then there's Comdex's impending demise: you read it here first. Bringing up the rear, letters from Dan Dern and Neal Macklin. All this for one low price. Take a break from the usual frenetic pace of this column with Paul's rambling, sentimental and personal Thanksgiving essay. Paul made the Top5 list again this week; see the full list, including his No. 2 contribution... one of 15 things Microsoft will change as a result of the Antitrust trial. Also: some right-on trial analysis by ProComp in Computer Industry News. Attention lawyers: am I right about fair usage? Check out the humor section and let me know. Web site of the week? You betcha: TechWeb. Some parting thoughts on John Glenn's flight. And a scary tale from medialand about dimwitted management. Plus, that list of Haiku error messages that was making its way around the net. Letters? We've got letters, from Neal Macklin and the-ever popular anonymous. HTML programmers: Don't miss my challenge in this week's Come and seem me gloat over GOP losses and Newt's resignation. Plus, a letters section the size of Muncie, Indiana. Joe Brancatelli (I swear, he'll take over my column if I let him), Michael D. McNamee, Craig Reynolds, Neal Vitale, Matt Jalbert and Daniel P. Dern all weigh in. Computer Industry News: I take Bill Gates and his clownish attorneys to the woodshed, just like the judge, only in harsher terms. In other computer news, the NY State Attorney General seized a news server. Had you even heard about this story? General News, besides Newt, includes a cute story about my older daughter as well as my Skywalker Ranch dreams and disappointments. Humor: Top 20 Ways to Know You're Living in the 90s, and Paul makes the Top5 list again with a mildly suggestive Halloween Costume problem. This week's web site of the week is Biztravel. Thanks Joe.
