Auto-Install Updates, FTL

I returned from lunch to find that my computer had rebooted itself. The cute word-balloon message in the taskbar more-or-less read:

O HAI! [LOLZ] WE OTTO-INSTALLED UR UPDATES, AND HAD TO SAI-KI-D'OH UR MACHINE KTHXBYE. PS: HOPE UR UZING FIREFOX BECAUSE WE CLOSED LIKE A BILLION OPEN TABS. WER U RESEARCHING SUMTING? PPS: SORRY ABOUR UR EMAILZ."

I knew it had installed an update, and before lunch when it gave me a countdown dialog saying it would happen automatically, unless I chose later. I CHOSE "LATER."

OTOH, this excellent Moka French from Kaldi Farm is making me reconsider my Windows Rage. Yummmmm.

autotranslation

Every time I get stumped and resort to Altavista's Babelfish or Google Translate to translate Japanese to English, I feel like a complete genius for understanding what little I do of this language. The stuff that comes out of the automatic translators is like Burroughsian cut-up poetry.
