The end of an era

Scott Adams is a woo-woo with a brain the size of a peanut. Even so, I've been a fan of the Dilbert comic strip for many years. What can I say? I've been in the computer business for thirty years, and Dilbert is a documentary. He mocks the stupid and arrogant, an activity I heartily approve of.

Today, however, I can't load the Dilbert website in either Firefox or IE, because it's apparently all Flash and scripts, and I have my security turned up rather high.

Sic transit gloria mundi.

  1. why not just get them sent to your inbox? I haven't been to his site in years. I also think that it's fair to note that at least a few of the opinions Scott advances are designed to make peoples heads explode.

    If I really cared that much, I would. But I don't, so I won't.

  5. Thanks, cornucrapia!

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.

No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.

Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.

I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.

Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.

I've already answered some typical comments.

I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
