FWIW, if you want to generate a list of proxies to choose from Charon has you covered. (Quick Guide)

Here you go

You can also often find clear plastic monitor covers in thrift stores for a quarter; they look a lot better, and you can see what appliance they are covering.

Either a typo, or they gave the Order of Canada to the medical equivalent of Osama Bin Laden.

Could we please have some moderation here? I am both pro choice (NOT 'Pro Choice') and pro life (NOT 'Pro Life'), and find that all of the talk from both sides boils down to "When does a fetus become a sentient being whose life deserves protecting?" (Personally, I would use the ability to react to pain, as that…

As soon as I saw 'QNX', I remembered cruising the 'net using this bit of incredible coding. (Yes, a complete OS and web browser that fits on a 1.44MB floppy. Seriously.)

There are two pieces of advice I have for anyone who wants to learn more about cooking:

If your pots have knobs, a double loop of twine will do the trick. One loop around the knob, and the second to go around the pot handle. You could also drill a hole through the knob for the twine to go through.

A warning, though: doing this will remove *everything* but the iron, including what makes a well used cast iron pan the original 'non-stick' cookware, and should be done only as a last resort.

Sir, you have the greatest nick in the history of ever. Expect me for lunch on Saturday.
