You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

One of those PC/Mac commercials gives a definition of the word "touche" that is incorrect. In fencing, when I say, "touche," it means that you have scored a point. The word the ad seems to be looking for is "riposte," which means a counterattack right after a block. You may, however, find even more entertainment value that is somehow slightly related here.

That commercial would have been more humorous (and more intellectually Mac-like) had they used riposte. Call 'em up, Chuck! They need to know. :)

Um... word test? Sorry, I was watching Blue from Blue's Clues interviewing Cinderella, who is real hot. Cinderella, not Blue.

Word verfication is gone from my blog because if we have to use things like that, then The Spammers Have Won. Why should I treat my commenters as if they were a spambot? Innocent until proven guilty, that's my motto.

This is what's wrong with the TSA and DRM and all that stuff. I will assume you are all human beings until proven otherwise. Welcome to humanity.
