Two days ago there was a live TV show where the presenter was so angry at the notebook his station provided and he was trying to access gmail but all he got was www.g0a563.c6m and 5 minutes later he got an SMS telling him to press the NumLock in the upper right corner. I laughed 5 minutes. I really like it when people have no idea about what their talking especially when in comes to IT (software and hardware).

But still, "create a GUI interface"? "using Visual Basic"? What, they don't already have a FORTRAN program running constantly that could have caught this message and tracked the IP immediately upon receiving it (then printed it out on their dot-matrix printer)?

But still, “create a GUI interface”?

“using Visual Basic”?
