Jail for man who urinated on dying disabled woman

A man who urinated on a dying, disabled woman while his friends filmed the disgusting act on their phones has been jailed for three years.

Waste of space, Anthony Anderson, together with two moronic friends, Scott Clement and Simon Whitehead, came across the woman who had collapsed in the street near his home.

Instead of doing the decent thing by phoning an ambulance and rendering assistance, Anthony Anderson threw water over the woman then went back to his house to fetch shaving foam before covering her with it. He then proceeded to urinate all over the dying woman apparently for the entertainment of his friends who were filming him on their mobile phones.

One of the group was was heard to shout; “This is YouTube material” as the abject depravity was filmed, the court heard.

Component or driver updates cause Microsoft Vista to deactivate

Well, it was inevitable. Microsoft’s Vista will deactivate if someone does something to their own computer the operating system doesn’t like, such as changing a video card or updating a device driver.


Earlier this year I wrote in a post entitled, “Ghastly la Vista, baby!” where I point out that “Once a weakness is found in a particular driver or device, that driver will have its signature revoked by Microsoft, which means that it will cease to function“.

Now it’s official. Vista user, James Bannan’s copy of the operating system announced he had three days to reactivate his system following a graphics card change or it would cease to function properly! Although he was finally able to reactivate the operating system he was unable to do so automatically over the Internet and instead had to telephone Microsoft to speak to a customer service representative.

Pathetic. Microsoft sells you an operating system for use on your computer with your hardware but deactivate the OS if you make some simple (and common) hardware changes.
