    On third thought... better to reboot whenever you walk away, and make sure there is a RAM scrubber during the boot process. Never know when someone might try to eject a RAM stick and read your encryption keys off of it.

    Wouldn't you want to do that as a shutdown process as well (i.e. before the reboot)?

    Sweat can bead on the skin and act as a lens, though for evolution of sight it would probably have to be from an aquatic genesis to have become such an ubiquitous solution on Earth, perhaps a membrane protecting sensitive nerve cells becoming progressively thinner generation after generation, improving both in sensitivity and ability to focus as it becomes naturally selected for improved chances of survival both offensively and defensively.

    I watched CBS's coverage in HD and saw the color balance change frequently when showing Biden, revealing the uneven patterning of makeup. It was worst when they did a split-screen presentation of Biden and Palin.

    I'll see about getting the section of transcript around the color balance changing back and forth to see if this tool also has affected video.

    Lazlow: Alright let's go to line 8, hello caller, what's your name?
    Bob: Bob. Bob from Pine Creek.
    Lazlow: Hey, er...what's up, Bob from Pine Creek?
    Bob: Well, I been listening to your show, there's always people going on about problems in schools. Guns, people showing disrespect to teachers, drugs...schools are breeding grounds for crime, ain't they?
    Lazlow: Well I guess it seems that way.
    Bob: Well I got a reeeal simple solution. Shut 'em down. Shut down the schools and you shut down the problem. No more dead teachers, no more angry students.
    Lazlow: Well, but you don't think...
    Bob: No I don't, never! Now listen to me! It makes perfect sense! These days, they complain a lot, but you know what...they cost even more. I mean shoes, books, toys, even special tiny furry pets, that sort of crap. It's all about "me". "Me me me me!" Well not my Johnny. No sir! Uh-uh! I'm learnin' him the value of good hard work. Learnin' him good. At three, we taught him how to clean the bathroom, if he left so much as one hair on the soap it was off to bed with no dinner. You know what? He went to bed a-hungry only 20, maybe 30 times. He learned! Now, he brings his mother lunch in bed every day so that she can sleep in. Let me tell ya, everyone should have their kid serving up food. He even cooks for the whole family! These days he's getting too big to sweep chimneys, so now he's a paralegal at Rankin' and Ponzer! He's seven, and he's making Madge and me twenty-three thousand a year. And on weekends, he doesn't go to the mall, play soccer, read, or do any of that kind of stuff. No no. He works in the basement of a marketing company making photocopies all night. Hell, he goes to sleep during the day, that's another eight grand right there! So now, I'm buying me a fast-boat trailer, what do you say to that?
    Lazlow: Well it sounds kinda like...exploitation to me!
    Bob: Exploitation! Man, you bleeding hearts kill me! Johnny's mine! He's my kid! How can I exploit something I own? Exploitation, you sound like a communist! Kids in Russia, they don't work...that's why everything's so messed up over there! You have to wait one month for toilet paper! And their space station...it was made out of milk crates. I tell ya, we're conformed living it the American way! That, and the only thing more American is having folks work for ya!
    Lazlow: That sounds a little oppressive...and even despotic!
    Bob: Exactly Lazlow, you hit the nail on the head that time! He's my kid. I'm telling ya, just shut the schools down, make the kids work. That book stuff's all for sissies anyway.
    Lazlow: A..and doctors, and politicians, and lawyers and p...whatever, you know I can't even be bothered to argue with you, but I do feel sorry for your little Johnny the seven-year-old cook chimney-sweep paralegal photocopier because... his daddy's an idiot!! Let's take a quick break.

    Lazlow: Alright, we're back here on Chatterbox, the radio show that never gets old. I'm Lazlow, with open ears and a closed mind. Hello, you're on the air, what's your name?
    Caller: I wanted to talk about spanking!
    Lazlow: Oh God...not another one...!
    Caller: I say spanking kids is the only way to teach them right from wrong.
    Lazlow: So you think that teaching kids from an early age that violence is the solution to problems will make them valuable members of our society.
    Caller: Exactly! I knew you'd understand Lazlow! My daddy used to whoop tar out of me. He once hit me so hard my spleen fell out of my ear. Didn't do me no harm. Look at me now, I'm the best pest-control guy in east Portland. I've killed more rats, roaches and vermin that you can imagine, and I love it. This is such a great country, I wouldn't be where I am today if my daddy hadn't beat me senseless.
    Lazlow: Hehh...what are you talking about? Man, I'm starting to believe that guy about the fluoride in the drinking water! Listen...if there's any sane person left in Liberty City that can hear my voice, please, call the show right now, this is an SOS, going out across the city!

    It is me again, just responding on a different tangent.

    You just install the plugin, and bam, it works. Amazingly enough, this is relevant to Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. Wow. Technology.

    Last I checked, it was installed with the two major browsers by default. However, in my work environment, I don't want Flash to come up and start yelling, "Aaah-aah, it's a miracle!" Even if locked behind a click by NoScript, there's no indication whether it will be disruptive to my work environment if I were to enable it temporarily.

    I certainly don't want Flash ads interfering with my browsing, especially those that escape their bounds and want to overlay over the entire page. Who knows what behavior I'll trigger if they can throw transparent linked images over the page content. And did you know Flash can use your webcam? Right-click and learn.
