    I just found a new level of depravity that these guys will stoop to. While trying to watch a clip I'm prompted that my version of some media codec is not up to date. To download the updated codec all I have to do is click the download button. Hooray! My spyware blocker catches the culprit and smashes it into tiny bits (Rosuav might get that pun). But now they're hiding this crap in "updates" to media software.
    If violence is not your last resort, you have failed to resort to enough of it.

    It drops the packet on the floor, and it shatters into its constituent parts. The garbage collector then comes through and returns the bits to the bit bucket.
