Problem is that the scripts in the Home Alone series relied heavily on the bad guys to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time; and for them to stay away each time long enough for the kid to set up the next trap.
You are unlikley to find a robber as cooperative in your house.
About 10 years ago I worked for a tradeshow company. I was in the (not so) grand ballroom of a Silicon Valley hotel converging a projector that was setup on a 9'x12' screen and needed a computer video source to test it.
So I brought in my old MacIIfx and fired up PacMan of all games. Let me tell you that PacMan on a 9x12 screen in a dark room with a set of Bose 402s was amazing.
PacMan suddenly got a whole lot cooler. But it was all for testing purposes of course;-)
There is a strong (but not necessarilly universal) correlation between wealth and political views.
The more people have to be definsive of... ( or refrased 'the harder you have worked to get where you are') the less likely you are willing to redistribute that wealth to those less fortunately (or refrased 'those that don't work as hard'.)
So if the origonal theory is correct, I can only conclude that hard work, or physical contact with money (perhaps the inks?) changes your brain chemestry?
Like several of the posters, I do not belive hard coding songs together is a good thing.
On a related note, Queen's "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" is considered one song in the U.S., but was origonally considered two tracks in other nations (U.K.?)
I believe Queen had considered them two seperate works, but because of the short pause between the two, we now have lumped them together.
There was so much chit chat where I work when we
moved into these common offices, that I was forced
to move to the back corner of a storage room, just
so I could concentrate. Several others with the
same goal followed me.
The article stated that "Executives with several of these firms noted that getting workers to share space fosters a team-oriented atmosphere that increases productivity."
My experience was exactly the oposite. These mobile offices killed the sense of community, and now you often site around people you barely know, and can not ask favors of, and do not have the time to do favors for in return.
Another little nice benifit is that they give you a tiny amount of locking storage space which you have to walk half way across the building to get to. So when we moved out of our offices, all of the less-critical stuff was thrown out or moved to common-libraries where they quickly wandered away. And as predicted much of that stuff turned out to be very-critical.
Also, most of us have had our tools, which are now hard to secure, wander off as well.
I sure hope it saved my company a ton on real-estate costs, because it cost us dearly in other ways.
That was the old plan. They changed the plan of record quite a few months back. The new plan is to go directly to Mozilla.
The current standard web browser is Netscape 4.x for web and dtmail for mail, but most people I work with installed Netscape 6, and then 7 a long time ago. And now they mostly have installed Mozilla 1.3.x.

I'm planning on retiring my old server soon. It will be a cheap low power quiet little mini-itx system.

I don't need any more than that, and I am tired of the fan noise, and the higher electric bills.
I think your comments could equally apply to your own response.
I guess I should have put a smiley face or something to make it less ambiguous.

Please cite the studies.
I am no fan of the RIAA, but it doesn't really help the conversation to mention 'numerous studies' without citing them.
Thanks.
Most politicians are rick. The correlation refers to the electorate, not the politicians.

Sounds like a bad Sci-Fi plot!.
He has a better chance of impressing some young lovely at Starbucks, than he does at work.
Just like a lot of people drive a sports car not so much because they need or like it, but they feel the oposite sex seems to be attracted by it.
Or how about every 60 minutes +/- 5 minutes

I was thinking of something along the same lines. Imagine a public reading of that text, SHOUTED AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS.
