Took the P-38 off my key chain years ago when the thing somehow managed to gouge me while I was climbing a tree.. It was very old and worn and wouldn't stay closed any more.
You can put a safety pin through the hinge to keep the P-38 closed.
There are entire sites dedicated to everyday carry (EDC) with some sites focused on flashlights, knives, Atwood tools, etc. You can spend a lot of time and money on EDC "research":-)
Why do ISPs still provide email?
There are lots of free and pay for email servers available. I say reduce my bill $1/year and get rid of it.
I've always thought that using an ISP-provided email address is a form of vendor lock-in. Want to change ISPs? Then you will lose the email address you've had for so many years.
SuRun is a program that brings UAC to Windows XP, but with a lot more granular control. I still run XP at home, and SuRun allows me to run as a limited user. It works quite well, and you can customize rules to always run specified programs with admin privs. It can also automatically prompt for credentials when required. The only main problems I've encountered as a regular user account is with Adobe's Flash Updater failing and when installing certain software--I had to log in as a true admin to install Acronis True Image. If I re-run the Flash updater with SuRun, it works fine. Windows Update works fine if set to automatically install critical/security updates; but if I manually want to install optional updates, then I have to log in with an admin account.

So why don't they just use their formula to compute the last digit of Pi already?
That would be the rational approach. Who cares about the two quadrillionth digit??
If trailing zeros after a decimal point (e.g., 3.500 = 3.5) are not significant digits, then I believe the last digit of pi in binary notation have to be 1.
Therefore, pi = 11.00100100... 1 where filling in the "..." is left as an exercise for the reader:-)
How many ads for fast food, soft drinks, candy bar, restaurants, etc. do you see during an hour of watching TV versus during an hour of using the computer?
Food cues might play a strong role, too.
Zero-day exploits also, after time, become old ones;) They also caused hassle for home users a year or so ago when their newly unboxed Windows XP SP1 box to the internet and get hit with Sasser before the Windows Update site even loads....

Machine locked up when trying to change password. Apparently Symantec AntiVirus 9's AutoProtect feature was the problem. (Disabling AutoProtect lets you change the password.) Because Private Folder 1.0 is not officially supported by Microsoft, there is no way to report this isssue.
Microsoft Private Folder 1.0 has an option to export encrypted files. The files remain encrypted, but the password must somehow be embedded in the exported files since you can go to a different computer with Private Fodler 1.0 installed to decrypt the files. HOWEVER, if hard drive crashes and you need to use data recovery software (R-Stuio, GetDataBack, etc.) there is no straight forward way of decrypting the files even if you know the password. Boot a machine with BartPE to look at the "My Private Folder" directory and the encrypted files look different than exported files (which leads me to think the password is embedded in the exported files). If you copy and paste encrypted files to that directory from BartPE/WinPE, you can make the data "unrecoverable"....
FTA:...Windows Vista was the most secure operating system in the industry. (emphasis mine)
I have to wonder why the article didn't use the present tense "is" or future tense "will be" considering that Vista is still in beta! So what IS the most secure OS?
OT, but I recently purchased a VIA-based USB cardbus for a laptop. It seems to only detect USB 1.1 devices that are plugged in to it. Other devices (including, mice, flash drives, and external hard drives) simply aren't detected under Windows XP. (Well, external HDDs locked up the computer without generating a crash report....) I tried on three different brands of laptop with same results. I finally found a site whose advice I agree with: Choose from the list of USBMan Tested and Approved Upgrade Cards by Manufacturer and Chipset. DO NOT buy a VIA based PCI/USB card...

How did an Aboriginal woman manage to travel all the way from Australia to Canada 400 years ago ?
Aborigine does not just refer to people in Australia. See Aboriginal_peoples_in_Canada
Or carry a modified cable where the USB power wires are connected but the data wires are not.
If you don't want to DIY, take a look at this sync cable (iPhone 4S or earlier) which has an extra end for only charging.

Autism or Asperger’s syndrome? I guess the distinction is moot now with the very recent release of the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders eliminating Asperger Disorder in favor of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Also, remember person-first language: "workers with autism" instead of "autistic workers"

I have one of the OpenX cutters mentioned on page two of the articles, and it does not work very well for me. Anyone get one of these to work?
