Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: Tad's Nut Gone Flake

Whenever I tried to access Smarch, I kept on being directed to a site called Dell.com.

Re: Tad's Nut Gone Flake

a bizarre new form of advertizing, where one company pays to 'hack' a website and temporarily redirect people to their own website? not saying that tad did that...that's just the first thing that came to mind. *grins*

Re: Tad's Nut Gone Flake

Is smarch hosted on a dell server?  Maybe they have secret STUFF built in to redirect people now and then....

It's part of the Dell-user clone armies' plans to take over the world. And yes, they do have clone armies. I've met them ;)

No no no...is isn't STUFF.  Dell secretly installs in every web server the SMUFF algorithms:

Stealth Marketing User Forwarding Function

Which at random intervals subverts websites and forces them to redirect to various marketing partner sites (usually Dell's own!).

It's very evil.  You should all never buy Dell again and only by HP products.

The fact that I work for HP in no way biases this report.  Honest. Really.

Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
