    Ever try smoking salted hash?

  2. Re:Would have been a mixed blessing on Microsoft Says VBA Is Here To Stay · · Score: 0

    I agree with you here, money to be made with fixing VBA.

    I know myself hate the fact that because there is VBA in Excel people assume that they can use Excel as a database of sorts, and create software strictly in Excel.

    We have some pretty messy Excel apps here, some not worth untangling.
    Maybe if there was no VBA in excel, people would start to learn Access (at least) or another 'programming' tool.

    What does putting numbers in order have to do with spelling? ;)

    It's okay, putting numbers in order should be as easy as A-C-B!

  4. Police Helicopter? on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 0

    I think that the only reason that this is going as far as it is, is because the laser was pointed at a police chopper. If it were any other chopper I dont think that it would be this big a deal.

  5. Re:How Green is Green? on Western Digital Touts New 'Green' Drives · · Score: 0

    ...but it's not really very "Green".
    I have to agree here.

    There were/are a few articles about this, as well as broadcasts on the news about how recent products are claiming that they are 'Green', yet they produce more pollution while making the product than others who don't claim to be green.

    According to this article some claimed to be green, being made of all natural ingredients. Well, Arsenic is natural.....

    To me, this product isnt "green" but it is energy efficient.
