I don't know about you, but to me, if you say "Don't know what you don't know", it sounds like you mean "Be blissfully unaware of the things which you do not know".
There are known knowns.
These are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns.
That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know.
But there are also unknown unknowns.

Jean-Marie Messier, the former chief of Vivendi Universal, the French telecommunication and media conglomerate, was questioned by authorities on Monday and then held in custody overnight by the French financial police as part of an investigation into stock price manipulation.
Messier, who appeared for questioning early Monday morning, can be held for up to 48 hours before prosecutors decide whether to place him under formal investigation, the last step before being charged. Messier had requested that he be placed under investigation in March to be granted access to the evidence against him and others in the case, his lawyer said.
Also, this source for the layoff story says that 110 jobs were cut from Sierra, while 180 were lost in the Los Angeles area. Those were almost certainly from the Davidson/Knowledge Adventure group.
In many cases an author being labled sci-fi is nothing more than marketing to his past audience. This book would fit much better on the normal fiction shelves than sandwiched in between the latest Space Opera or Swords and Sorceror's epic.
At my store, Stephenson--including the Baroque Cycle--is shelved in Science Fiction for one reason: because that's where people expect to find him. I agree that these would be better off in the straight Fiction section, but that's how the book business works. Once an author is "labeled" as a mystery or science fiction or romance writer, forever will it dominate their destiny.
Why would stores not want you having a phone with you?
Because the temptation is there to talk on the phone while in the store, at full volume, discussing the most personal matters. Especially while standing at the counter paying for goods. As someone who works the other side of the counter, I can say unequivocally that there is nothing more rude than a customer blabbing on a phone while I'm trying to complete the transaction.
If we could ban phone usage in the store, we would.
I'm browsing on Opera, so I get this message: 'Gmail does not currently support your browser.'. I wouldn't at all be surprised if they ended up supporting it after the beta, however. As the review noted, a lot of expected features (such as sigs and virus scanning) were left out in this early version.
Excerpt from an email I received from Gmail support after I expressed disappointment in nonstandard/proprietary coding:
You might be interested to hear that we are announcing a plain HTML version of Gmail, so this should help to allow you to access your Gmail account from a larger variety of browsers.
For now, yes, I'm stuck launching (gack) IE to use Gmail. Hopefully the promised generic version will not be long in coming.
Suggestion: Allow the virtual OS read-only access to your media library (presumably on the real OS). This will let your file-sharing apps share your files with no risk of affecting your system.
Just use a mail form instead of mailto: links. Once you reply to feedback mail, the sender has your address and you can correspond normally. Meanwhile, evil spambots can't harvest an address that isn't shown anywhere.
Sure you can, as long as you replace it with something. Explorer.exe (as opposed to IExplore.exe, the Web browser container) is the equivalent to GNOME/KDE on Linux. You can replace it with any of a number of alternate shells, of which LiteStep is perhaps the most used. Of course most people don't bother.
It uses the MSGINA.DLL and MS even explain how to do it on their website.
Link MSGINA stands for "Microsoft Graphical Identification and Authentication DLL". The.DOC file on that page is pretty interesting reading--gotta love something that starts off with "Warning: Potential System Failure" even before the Introduction.
The list maintainer posts PGP-signed updates to USENET
Are you suggesting publishing entire lists of vulnerable hosts in the clear?
The hosts list could be public-key encrypted, with the list maintainer providing the decryption key only to verified RBL members. That kind of defeats the anonymous/distributed purpose, I guess.
I knew I remembered reading about this somewhere back in my mis-spent youth. Turns out that way back in July '76, MAD Magazine's Al Jaffee did a piece on "MAD's Solutions to Big City Parking Problems", which included several variations on this idea.
Concepts such as the "Curbside Multi-Level Parking Elevator Facility" and "Multi-Leveled Lazy Susan High Speed Parking Facility" show that once again, the usual gang of idiots leads the way. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a scan of the piece, just the cover from that issue.

Ordered and on the way. And I even used my spiffy new Gmail addy for the order.
But I guess you meant this?
Mr. Furious: My rage will be my master, right? That's what you were going to say, isn't it?
I like your duck.
