OS Wars

Comment on a blog in the midst of a long discusion about Operating Systems on PCs.

The OS wars are over and the Web Browser won.

Boy isn't that the sorry truth.

My entire Windows Operating system treats everything I try to do like it is a stupid website.

Anarchy in Contra Costa County

Well the lunatics are definitely in charge of the asylum in California. At least they are in Contra Costa County. According to the San Francisco Chronicle The Contra Costa County District Attorney Robert Kochly has announced that due to budget cuts his office will no longer prosecute:

Misdemeanors:
assault
thefts
burglaries

Felony Drug cases involving:
less than a gram of methamphetamin or cocaine,
less than 0.5 grams of heroin,
fewer than five pills of ecstasy, OxyContin or Vicodin

Also on the no prosecute list is:
people who are suspected of misdemeanor drug crimes,
minor traffic laws,
shoplifting,
trespassing,
misdemeanor vandalism

So what exactly does District Attorney Robert Kochly think he is being paid to do? Personally I think this is probably a ploy to try and coerce more money from the people this clown works for. But if it isn't a ploy and this negligent bastard really starts neglecting his duty this way I hope the first house that is invaded and stripped to the foundation is his own. Assuming of course that this coward actually lives in the same county that he is selling down the river.

So if you have ever wanted to rob someone, shoplift, trespass, vandalize something, or experiment with certain drugs you better get up to Contra Costa. If you live in Contra Costa County - may God have mercy on your soul. I would get out while the getting is good. It is going to get really ugly up there really soon.
