Mixed Priorities?

It seems that Microsoft is developing the "next generation" of computing, by focusing on touch screens....

ummm....

Maybe you guys should perfect the "product" you just released first.  

You know, the crappy software known as "Vista"... remember?   Just a thought.

Hillary in it Cause ... he might get shot

Hope or Despair?

So upon reading this... I wasn't sure whether one should feel hopeful or feel in despair.   But as Hebrews 11 says (paraphrasing) "none received what was promised to them".   We aren't promised great and wonderful things in this life.   Even if we do right.   But I hope no matter what happens Rouse know his actions weren't meaningless and hopeless.  

Even if he never coaches ball again.

But I really hope he does... he is more deserving than most it seems.

Someone agrees with me...

As I said in my previous post about this guy porn addiction, it seems unlikely to me.   Something else has to be happening here.

This site... agrees with me that the numbers look stretchy.

Apparetnly he "access porn sites 177,686 times last July".   Which translates to about 1,110 per hour (if he work 8 hour days --- mind you I had 1010 if per hour if he took no breaks of any kind).   So a new click every 3 to 4 seconds.   Really?   That is barely enough time for most web pages to load.   My guess, a virus plus a porn addiction.  

An informal survey on my fast computer broadband/wireless: I discovered it took google.com 1 second to load, weather canada webpage 2 seconds, cnn.com 10 seconds to load and facebook took about 30 seconds.   The star website, thestar.com to 7 seconds.  

The only ones faster than 4 seconds were the graphics, picture and video free site of the search page and the weather page.  

So I ask again, how it this even possible?   I think not.

Is this even possible???

So a worker in Japan got demoted because he had been found surfing porn during work.   That doesn't really sound that incredible or news worthy in this day and age.   He's getting less pay, he got demoted... and nothing like international news to really embarrass a guy.   But what seemed to make everyone's eye is that he was found to have "gone" to 780,000 sites in 9 months.  

780,000!!!!!!

As a friend of mine once pointed out I love numbers (I don't)... or at least calculating (I don't, but I do seem to do it a lot, when i see things like this).   Anyway, it made me wonder how often a day he was going porn sites.  

9 months has about 274 days (if it includes February).

So that is 2847 sites a day! (780,000 / 274)   That seems like a lot to do in a day.   So I had to figure it out per hour.   Assuming he spends 8 hours a day at work, that would be 356 site per hour... or let's say he spends an extra couple of hours after work.   That's still 285 site per hour.   That's 5 sites a minute.... but wait, we shouldn't include the weekends...
 
And by my count that is 74 less days to work with... So 780,000sites / 200 days = 3900 sites/day divided by 10 hours/day = 390 sites/hour divided by 60 min/hour = 6.5 sites/min...

Either 5 or 6.5 sites per minutes is a lot!!! I mean that's 10 seconds per site.   Is that even possible?   What can you possibly do in 10 seconds?   Do pages even load that fast?

Now the BBC claims that it was 20 sites per minute... are they even reading what they wrote???? That's 3 seconds per page!!!!   What is he doing randomly clicking???  Is that even looking at porn???   Web pages usually take a whole lot long then 3 seconds to load.   So what is going on with this story?

A weird story indeed.
