“Windows in the world” fail: ATM
25th Aug 2009 in
Fail
Windows strikes fails again, this time on an ATM where I was planning on getting some cash out! Strictly speaking it is McAfee that failed with a pure virtual function call (C++, when you somehow manage to call a pure virtual method of an abstract class), and one has to ask: is an ATM really in need of anti-virus software? But it happens on a Microsoft box and that’s enough for me!

Well its not just windows that needs anti-virus now. Apple have released a statement recommending that os x users install anti-virus and at defcon this year was os x was hacked before windows 7. I think everyone’s opinion needs to be re-evaluated. But thats just my opinion.

Hi,
when was this picture taken? the tree behind you has no leaves, what’s up with that? it’s autumn right? not winter.

According to the date on the original it was taken on March 2nd, which in England is just coming out of winter - sometimes cold, sometimes surprisingly warm. I just didn’t get around to posting it until now! I think it is in York, but I can’t make out the street sign at the bottom of the pic - I just can’t remember.
