Homer Simpsons: D’oh!

Homer Simpsons is one of my all time favorite characters. His quotes are too funny to ignore.. I used to be regular reader on the net for his quotes. Today I took some time out to do some searching again.

I came across this fabulous site - The Simpsons Quotes

here are a few quotes from the site:

Homer: There’s your giraffe, little girl.
Ralph Wiggum: I’m a boy.
Homer: That’s the spirit. Never give up.

Scully: Homer, we’re going to ask you a few simple yes or no questions. Do you understand?
Homer: Yes. (lie dectector blows up)

Marge: Homer! There’s someone here who can help you…
Homer: Is it Batman?
Marge: No, he’s a scientist.
Homer: Batman’s a scientist?!
Marge: It’s not Batman!

Burns: I suggest you leave immediately
Homer: Or what? You’ll release the dogs or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?

Homer: [Looking at a globe map...country being Uruguay]

Hee hee! Look at this country! ‘You are gay.’

Spyware Defined - rather redefined

Wired has an article posted on the Process Definition of SPYWARE.

Ben Edelman has a perfect way of echoing my thoughts on spyware

“From the perspective of users whose computers are infected, there is nothing hard about it (defining spyware),If you have adware or spyware on your computer, you want it gone. Maybe the toolbar is Mother Theresa, but it’s Mother Theresa sitting in your living room uninvited and you want her gone also,You don’t need a committee of 50 smart guys in D.C. sipping ice tea in order to decide that. “
