Personally, I would rather fold my shirts, and use the rods to beat the living crap out of the spammers who post here.

FWIW, Charon is a great proxy server search and test tool.

Actually, I do blame the browser. Back when I was using FF 1.5 or 2, I once had 374 tabs open in 5 (7?) windows, and the whole thing ran just fine. Now I can't have more than a dozen or two before everything starts to cry for mercy, on a newer computer with more RAM.

If you decide on a Canon, be sure to check out if there is a custom firmware for your model. There is also a similar project for Nikon cameras, though it is in a much earlier stage.

Of course, but remember; you can't make someone else's choice. The only person you know that you have control over is your self.

Ummm... No. I guarantee that if women avoid dangerous situations, then, no matter if men change or not, the number of rapes and muggings will go down. (I'm not saying that men shouldn't be taught not to rape women, obviously!) It's just common sense, and exactly the same as a jaywalker being hit by an inattentive

...or if they look like they are having a stroke when you pronounce it 'Buggitty' three times in a row.

....still better than duck face.

If you are having trouble with a company getting back to you and you have their fax number, here is a trick that I've used with great success. Print up a letter address to a person/department authorized to deal with your issue, explaining what the problem is, what you want done about it, and how to contact you, then

Bravo. Your response is far more moderate than this typical Gawker post deserves. I've talked to a number of front-line counsellors, and they confirmed my long-held belief that the overwhelming majority of rapes and other attacks are preventable tragedies; if you teach your children to keep out of situations where

At the risk of drawing a lot of fire, how different is this really from "Get Out of My Men's Club, Feminist Woman"? Men, women, straight, gay, etc. - every type of grouping needs and deserves a separate time and/or space for itself. Most of my friends have great wives, but none of use would put up with them

Now playing

:cough: German technology at its Asianest.

I once worked with a guy who had an interesting system; he would sit down with the client and create a design document for the project which included a payment schedule based on project milestones. (...with the first milestone payment being for the creation of the DD, of course.) Before moving onto the next

Above all, if you are unsure, stop and ask for help! Case in point: I had a 6 hour drive to a place I'd never been to before, so printed out a Google map. When I arrived at the last town before my destination, I stopped in at the tourist center to ask about road conditions on my route. The helpful clerk then

FYI, there is an easy way to prevent anyone figuring out which keys you press; just hover all four fingers above a row, then bring them all quickly down at the same time while only pressing down on the desired key. Pressing a fake number followed by the correction key will make it even harder to figure out.

Remember how bad Windows 1.0 was? GEOS came out for the Commodore and Apple II families around the same time, and was better in pretty much every way. MS had their revenge, though; they used their clout to make sure that the later PC version, Geoworks Ensemble, never had a chance to gain any market share.

FWIW, Dell Complete Care is fairly expensive, but the coverage is amazing. My #1 son fell asleep and knocked his laptop off of his bed. It survived just fine ...until #2 son got out of bed in the middle of the night and stepped right onto the screen, completely shattering it. Dell didn't even blink; after assuring
