Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Read the comments below it. That helps explain it.

That'd be easier to do if something (probably corporate crapware on the firewall) wasn't blocking the comments.

Essentially the autocomplete feature of the browser can be embarrassing to some people. But I agree with you, not funny at all. Very poorly conveyed. Then again, I almost never think commit strip is funny even though people post it in the Lounge quite often.

THAT was the joke?
I know someone who types a single letter, then looks up to the screen to see if autocomplete has already finished the word, then types a second letter, looks up, etc... When autocomplete finally finished it this guy slowly moves his hand away from the keyboard to the mouse and then clicks the autocomplete line for the page to load.
It takes AGES and it would be SO MUCH MORE FASTER to just type the entire friggin URL including the query string ?fid=1159&select=5175664&floc=/Lounge.aspx&action=r!!! 
Anyway, this comic reminded me of that.
Never ever did browsing history come to mind...
Indeed a very poorly conveyed comic.
Although I do like CommitStrip in general

I *think* he's trying to access a legit web conference site (youknow.com) but the auto-complete shows he has been mucking around on non-work-related sites. I think. If so it's not very funny.

Youtube's a major host for how to videos for work related stuff too and has been for a few years...

Agreed, that's why it's not very funny. I could think of funnier domains that could come up...and no doubt could the author...but it would probably make the strip NSFW.

That's not what the comic's author was going for. The guy was relieved when youtube.com appeared, rather than something of a more NSFW variety starting with you.

Ok, that makes sense. But yeah, overall it's just not very clear\funny.

Browser history can be a bummer. Use InPrivate/Incognito for not KSS browsing!  Especially on the work computer.

Their (flexera's) forum is really bad and no one answer back.
I have a serious question about InstallShield. (yeah, I have no choice about that).
I have a large installation (7000 files, mostly small 3rd party DLL) and I have difficulty making sense of the "Best Practice" that says "...A new component must be created for each portable executable file (.exe, .dll, or .ocx file)..."
Any particular forums to start a thread ?
Thanks.
I'd rather be phishing!

Does Flexera have a community forum? You may want to get a little closer to the source, to ask your questions. Just my opinion. Good luck.

You have my sympathies! I still use InstallShield 11.5 and haven't looked at the flexara forum in 10 years, but as you say, it was useless crap then, and apparently it hasn't gotten any better. Crystal Reports/Business Objects/SAP forums are only slightly better! 
As for the new component rule, I think it simply means that every file included in your installation package is a component. You don't have to do anything special.

Hi, I'm in the same Situation and have no choice.
Now ....
"...A new component must be created for each portable executable file (.exe, .dll, or .ocx file)..."
....forget about this!
I go the way to make a component for each Directory of my Installation and it works fine until now (since about 10 years  )
[Edit]
I'm available to "seriously talk about using InstallShield" even I hate this tool... but have also no choice.

Hi All,
For my first post back on-line for a couple of days its mad!, I mentioned that I was going to be without net access as my parents have moved (and who gets to help?) and they are phone less until the new year. I have managed to sneak up to my flat in Bristol while they are out but have to go back as there is a mobility clinic that my dad has to go to tomorrow. I also had to do one of those on-line coding tests which I did but the phone rang and I had to talk to an agent which probably put my time up. I was wondering are they a good indicator of whether you are a muppet or not?  I have never found one of those tests to be a good indicator.

Sneak out to Asda or Tesco: they both do free WiFi.
It's quite handy to be able to check Tesco prices in Asda, and Asda prices in Tesco - given they are less than 1/2 mile apart...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Might do that, mind you I hate typing on a phone!
