    What you do instead is:

    1. Wait 10-15 mins after arriving to cool down. You will sweat a bit thanks to not having airflow cooling you off. :)

    2. Go to the rest room with a trusty package of wipes -- you can use unscented baby wipes or similar -- and a stick of deodorant, both of which you can leave in a cubicle drawer. Clean yourself off, and you're good to go.

    I think I must've missed something here. What is it with this "OMG!!! Ponies!!!" business anyway? Is it this season's "All Your Base"?

    Ever wonder why you never hear of the Great Japanese Road Trip?

    Maybe it has more to do with the islands' land areas adding up to less than California? By the time you get up to speed, you're already there. ;)

  11. Outtakes on Google to Digitize National Archives Footage · · Score: 0, Troll

    Google has provided some sample videos from the National Archives, such as the 1969 moon landing.

    Yeah, how much you wanna bet the secret blooper reel from the fake moon landing filming don't show up on Google Video. You know, the one where Neil Armstrong bouncing wires get tangled in the cardboard landing module and crushes half the set. The one where Henry Kissenger accidentally wanders onto the "moon."

  14. Formulae on World of Warcraft Teaches the Wrong Things? · · Score: 5, Funny

    The very idea that time > skill is alien.

    Ah, but time = money, therefore, in what is quickly becoming the "Formulae of WoW," money > skill, which I think everyone will agree is a lesson modern America teaches pretty much every day. ;)

    This is also substantiated by the original axiom, WoW = Golf.

  17. Re:My Personal Showstoppers on Mozilla Camino 1.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Switching tabs using PowerBook keyboard is also a bit complicated, as one has to press option, and PowerBooks only have the left one, so two hands are needed. Safari has better shortcuts (cmd-shift instead of cmd-option) in this sense.

    Using the "Keyboard Shortcuts" part of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference, you can change Camino's "Previous Tab" and "Next Tab" commands to be whatever you want, including the Safari way.

  21. Hyperbole on The Billion Dollar iPod Accessories Market · · Score: 3, Funny

    Consider this. Last year, Apple sold 32 million iPods, or one every second. But for every $3 spent on an iPod, at least $1 is spent on an accessory, estimates Steve Baker, an analyst for the NPD Group, a research firm. That works out to three or four additional purchases per iPod.

    So for every $3-seconds, there's an additional $1-second for accessories. That means about 10.6 million $1-seconds last year, which works out to a bit over 2,944 $1-hours, 122 $1-days, or about 17.5 $1-weeks!

    That means for every iPod-year, there's an iPod-accessory-quarter!!!!

    Go statistics!

    From your post I think it's safe to infer that you squeeze your own lemons (best way there is).

    Now, there's nowhere to shower at work, so I drive.

    Leave a box of unscented wipes (Cottonelles work great) and a stick of deodorant at the office. When you get in, wait about 10-15 minutes to stop sweating, then clean up in the washroom. Works great.
