Note to self, never post while waiting on the code you're debugging to get to the bit you're working on. I read that as C2O, not 2CO, thus resulting in an oxygen atom going missing....

A *lot* of heat, if you're converting an entire oxygen atom to energy....

Yes, but the Klingons have photon torpedoes.

So, do you have an excuse for having 'gay' and 'lesbian' on the 'concern words' list?

Oh, it certainly wouldn't have been the *only* reason they bought it -- but it could have been a serious consideration when deciding whether it was worth it.

You know, your post made me wonder if that's perhaps part of the reason they made the purchase.

Google support sucks, because Google doesn't _have_ a support organization -- and they don't know how to build one, either; it's not something that lends itself to the sort of algorithmical scaling that's their strength.

MMI, on the other hand, presumably has a support organization that Google can leverage to build a support organization for their other products that need them. They might consider that valuable.

4. Realize this is exactly what happened to Knuth.

Prostitute yourself. Or sell drugs. Either is less morally objectionable.

That sounds about right, for the first week or so, if you only have 10 tabs open. Try 25-30 tabs, for a month, and it's much larger, especially if you've visted a few poorly-designed webpages. (Though to be fair, I find that poorly designed webpages have obvious markers, like one I recently timed at seventeen seconds(!) before I could scroll down... and if I leave it open in a tab, eventually crashes the browser (although that takes a couple of days)).

I think you mean 'OpenID allows you to train users to be vulnerable to phishing attacks'. 'Never type your password into a page unless you went directly to the site' is good advice; 'Never type your password into a page unless you went directly to the site or the site that sent you there claims to be using OpenID' is not.
