I logged into one of our servers the other day and saw a McAfee splash screen on log in. I was whimpering under my desk for an hour.

My co-worker constantly nags me to put McAfee on our client's computers.

His Reasoning:
It's free for them and it isn't that bad.

I hate him

So put on Microsoft Security Essentials, and then, when he discovers it, you can walk into the room he's in, knock on the open door, and when he turns around, bite into and chew on a McAfee install disc.

This is literally what I would do.

Oh MSE is going out in my image push, and he has no idea how any of the current imaging stuff works so he cant change it.

: So hey, we'd like to sell some advertising in your organization's e-mail newsletters.
Me: Sure, if they're not too obtrusive, that'd be great.
: Well, I really want to make sure they're visible. Is there a way we can automatically have an animated ad show up on a person's screen when they click on the e-mail?
Me: You mean like a pop-up ad...in an e-mail?
: Sure, can we do that?
Me: Well, if we could, every e-mail coming out of our organization would be blacklisted in the blink of an eye, and we'd probably have hostile articles written about us in the trade press, and our members would be infuriated...but thank goodness we can't.
: Aw shucks, that would've been great.

This is the type of person I would probably hit.
