It's one thing to post news... but is it really news that $5K has been raised on /.?

Just select all the mail you've got and forward to someone who will be around - like your manager (he/she will appreciate the extra e-mail - it will make him/her feel more important) - and then have them forward all the mail to the new person.

Deep in the myriad of navigation to get the details, it did say you could make the glass opaque by touching it... but my main concern is somewhat more base.... Where's the bathroom?

Brings to mind the poem by Jack Prulutsky:

The Turkey Shot Out Of The Oven

The turkey shot out of the oven
and rocketed into the air,
it knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.

It ricocheted into a corner
and burst with a deafening boom,
then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.

It stuck to the walls and the windows,
it totally coated the floor,
there was turkey attached to the ceiling,
where there'd never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance,
it smeared every saucer and bowl,
there wasn't a way I could stop it,
that turkey was out of control.

I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,
and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
that I'd never again stuff a turkey
with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

Take a look at MS-DOS source... that'll be elegant and bug free.

In the last 35 years, copyright has become less of a problem. It's easy to avoid copyright infringement with virgin developers; however, too many patent trolls would make lawsuits for patent infringement (imagined or otherwise) almost guaranteed.

There... Fixed that for ya.

They've already tried this... that's why the meteors always hit Russia... that's where copyrighted material always ends up.

I had the same call come to me twice. The second time I took a little more time and here's how it went: They usually ask you to open up the event viewer to show you all the "malware" on your system. After booting up my windows XP VM, he opened up a command prompt window to one of the Windows folders. Then he ran the command "attrib". at the end I got a similar the command prompt back:

with the written text about the firewall being typed MUCH slower than my 8 year old son types. Eventually I told the guy he was doing all of this in a VM, and he didn't think I was as smart as I said, so he asked a couple of obscure computer questions (about msconfig and northbridge/southbridge)... I then asked him if I could ask him a question... I asked, "Will you take me off of your call list?" I tried to guilt him out of doing what he was doing, but I figured I'd wasted enough time, so I hung up. I haven't had another call since then.

In leap years, my wife is 11 days older than me rather than just 10 days older than me.

This is Japan... you need to watch out for the 4th ride:

1. 1 = ichi
2. 2 = ni
3. 3 = san
4. 4 = shi == death

Therefore in apartment buildings the numbers are 101, 102, 103, 105, 106, ... 201, 202, 203, 205, 206...

Of course.. they're call "Defense Contractors"... and they get all of their funding through the DoD.

You already HAVE donated to it... when was the last time you checked your credit card balances?
