How to stop buzz from sending mail to the inbox

Google has added Buzz to its GMail interface, but didn't make a way to stop buzz from sending you mail, when someone comments on your posts. Here's a way to do it.

1. Near the search box of your GMail, click Create Filter.

2. In "Has the Words" field, type in:Buzz

3. A warning will pop-up. Ignore it and click Ok.

4. Check "Skip the Inbox" and "Mark as read" checkboxes, and click Create Filter.

5. You're done. Enjoy

There was one bear
That wanted to bear
but he could barely care
what happened there

why was he so big
when he wanted to swig
and go to and fro
not caring for naught

there was one bear?
he had no hair
why can he not care
for his brother bear?

The World and Nonesense - A Rant.

Listen to this story
I have VC++ 2005 redistributable package, which you need to run programs that are written in VC++ 2005 on computers that don't have it installed, like happens a lot to Microsoft. Well, that's ok, we're used to that.
So, now, I'm trying to figure out, how do I know whether it's already installed on a computer or not, because it opens a user prompt dialog, and I want to have as little of them as possible.
So I was searching in the net for a lot of stuff, in the end i found a number-string, that I can call an API function with, which should tell me whether it's there.
Well, I do that, and on my comp, where I do have it installed, and it says, that it isn't. Well, i say, ok. let's see maybe it's in the file properties.
I look inside. I find out, that it's a simple archive, so I say ok. Let's see what's inside that? A Single(!!) File. I get it out. What is this? Another archive!
I open it again. What does it contain? An msi file(which is an archive+ script) and another archive file.
Now, the first archive, only adds! size because it's just adding another header without any compression!
And the second one compresses the scrips by maybe 0.1%! What do they need this for, I have no clue!
Or to be exact I have a clue, but it's much too horrible to tell!
They archived it the first time after the msi, so that they don't have 2 files! why? no clue. They could just include both in the msi, if they'd modify the setup by a bit
the second archive they added to include the license message!
Why not include it also in the msi, which is possible?
