Those of us who work in the computer industry are in the business of dealing with other people’s mistakes. That’s it, really. I spend my days fixing bugs in other people’s software and hardware. Then I get to go home and deal with more of the same.
Today’s fun? I bought a new monitor for my computer, a Samsung SyncMaster 932BW. Why? Because I have the earlier model of the same for my other computer and it worked fine the first time. What happened now? Well, since I have a newer video card it is unable to communicate the default resolution to the monitor. So where my 6800GT works my 7900GS fails. I finally came up with a solution: switching from DVI to VGA cables.
Quality, eh? But then I expect no less from the computer industry, and Nvidia in particular. After all, they still haven’t figured out how to make a driver install program that won’t fuck up your system unless you completely uninstall the previous one, reboot, and then install the new one. Yeah, that’s also a Windows problem but neither of them can manage to get it to work, and they probably never will. Why? Because that would take effort.

So it appears that the Vatican has decided to revamp the seven deadly sins.
Here they are, according to the Sidney Morning Herald Blogs:
1. accumulating obscene wealth
2. polluting the environment
3. genetic engineering
4. drug dealing
5. abortion
6. pedophilia
7. causing social injustice
So let’s see. Given #1 he should give up all of the church’s gold, because if there is an obscene amount of wealth anywhere it is in the Vatican. With #6 does that mean he’s actually going to DO something about it? I can’t even tough #7 in light of the church’s espousal of genocide.
According to the Vatican’s official newspaper L’Osservatore they are:
1. Genetic modification
2. Human experimentations
3. Polluting the environment
4. Social injustice
5. Causing poverty
6. Financial gluttony
7. Taking drugs
No more human experimentations or taking drugs? Why is this reminiscent of when doctors couldn’t dissect corpses so the pope had a Jewish doctor?

Wow. This pope sucks. He’s the fucking George W. Bush of popes.
I have a better list they should pay attention to. How about:
1. Protecting the wicked
2. Abusing confidence
3. Promoting the spread of disease
4. Promoting war and hatred
5. The destruction of other cultures
6. Lying to protect your wealth, power, and prestige
7. Actively working to halt the progress of humanity
Oh wait. Those can’t be sins because they’re EVEN MORE GUILTY OF THOSE!
Pricks.
