Computer madness

Modern computers are amazing in the things they can do. Some things, though, make me wonder what (if anything) the programmers were thinking. These are just a few examples from the last few days; the computers in my life are a mixture of Linux and Windows (XP and Vista) with Cygwin on top, and my active files move around a lot.

Sheffield's answer to the London Eye

More details from the local paper.
