Beresheit, with sidekicks (from the New Yorker, via Monica Cellio's blog)

Monica (old friend from college) linked to it, I nearly had to clean up my monitor after reading it...

Day No. 1:

And the Lord God said, “Let there be light,” and lo, there was light. But then the Lord God said, “Wait, what if I make it a sort of rosy, sunset-at-the-beach, filtered half-light, so that everything else I design will look younger?”

“I’m loving that,” said Buddha. “It’s new.”

“You should design a restaurant,” added Allah.

    instead of https://exchangedogfood.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.livejournal.com/users/cellio/456926.html

    OK, I know this is going OT...(err...off-topic, not Old Testament ;)

    >>MS owes us this for making us spend 101% of our time deleting spam.

    I hope you're joking...

    That's a curious leap of logic, isn't it? Even assuming that Outlook's [Express, Exchange, Hotmail] spam filters were 0% effective (on the contrary, my default filter catches all but a handful), why is it their fault you spend all your time deleting spam?

    I agree that Hotmail's filters could certainly be better, but I don't blame MS for the spam problem. To me that's like blaming the postal service for unwanted mailings from local retailers.

    Why don't we blame the people who send spam? Why don't we encourage efforts from companies like MS and AOL to hunt these people down and destroy their business?

    I'll stop before I get on a soapbox about the nature of responsibility...
