On the first point, might I suggest looking at the posting histories of Slashdot users such as Macgrrl, AriaStar, xirusmom, and girlintraining, among other possibilities (though admittedly the username "girlintraining" might suggest someone not born to femininity; I'm honestly not sure).
On the second point, may I direct your attention to this most informative link, as requested.;)
FWIW, my high school German teacher was a teenager in Germany at the time, and her grandmother scolded her severely for busting a gut laughing at Kennedy when he uttered this line. And just to be clear, she comes from an old Prussian family -- this was not a case of an American military family having one over on their president. While folks in Berlin might not have made much of the turn of phrase, folks elsewhere in Germany, at least some of them, had a grand old time.
At least, that's what I'd guess from how excited you sound about it. Congratulations, kiddo! Hope it was good for both of you.
Just a thought though, but I'm not entirely sure Slashdot is the best venue for bragging about it. A good chunk of us are old enough to have found out what sex produces (i.e. children), another chunk of us are (contrary to stereotypes) actually female, and some more of us have no idea what this "fucking" is all about anyway. Perhaps your friends would be more appreciative? Assuming you have any, of course, what with posting as an AC on Slashdot to give the world the news...
Iwata's and Miyamoto's compensation packages only look "tiny" when compared to the inflated insanity going on in the US.
I'm happy to grant that greed is part of the human condition, but it is worth pointing out that different cultures inculcate different balances of the basic human traits. Greed certainly happens in Japan, but not anywhere like on the scale seen in the US. Frankly, why would anyone really need $10 mil in annual pay? Such high remuneration actually seems obscene. One percent of that would be more than ample.
By way of international comparison, have a look at the PDF linked here. Relevant portion from page 6 quoted below. I can vouch for the indicated pay for the average full-time worker over the age of 25; I make just slightly more than this as a highly-trained professional with over a decade of experience, in a job paying roughly the industry average.
The CEO pay rate among American public companies is outrageous. They are receiving astronomical amounts of money compared to the average American worker. Meanwhile, the average full-time worker over the age of 25 struggles to get by on a mere $683 a week, an increase of less that one percent over the last year (Chattman 2005). Compared to the pay rate of an average CEO, the average full-time worker would have to work in the upwards of 385 years to make what a CEO receives in one year. During the 1980s the pay gap between CEO and ordinary factory workers grew from 42 times to almost 85 times (Byrne 1991). In 2004 CEOs in the United States made over 475 times as much as the average worker. Compared to the pay ratio between US CEOs and US average workers, other countries ratios between the two are significantly lower, as indicated in the chart below.
Country ----- Ratio of CEO pay to
------------- average worker pay
Japan ------------ 11:1
Germany ---------- 12:1
France ----------- 15:1
Italy ------------ 20:1
Canada ----------- 20:1
South Africa ----- 21:1
Britain ---------- 22:1
Hong Kong -------- 41:1
Mexico ----------- 47:1
Venezuela -------- 50:1
United States --- 475:1
I leave it as an exercise for the reader to as to whether the US's exorbitant executive pay multiple might act as a drain on the economy.

See, adding in the "on a cold day" bit just makes me think about what cold air does to girl parts, and then I'm just thinking about perky girl parts in general, which leads us right back to not being able to think about work...
...like that beautiful dominatrix. Controlling, manipulative, and demeaning. An almost supernatural beauty though, and looks darned good in a corset, making it hard to resist.
...like the sweet girl next door. She looks good in a more subdued way. Less makeup. She'll let you do try anything in the sack...
Oh, great. Just great. So much for being able to think about work at all.
So assuming the JCP does dissolve, I fail to see why folks couldn't find a way to fork Java. Are there patents in place that would completely moot any such effort? What about clean-room reverse-engineering of the JVM, wouldn't that open some doors?
So is your phrase intended as a noun, or as a verb? I would very much like to patent lawyers, and then sit on my patent to make sure we have fewer of them floating about.
So riddle me this -- how many new lawyers fit into a 20-year patent term?
That's good to know, thanks. The firewall rule sounds like what I'd expect, coming from IPv4. But the privacy mode, is this different from the private address block defined for IPv6? And how would machines on the local subnet keep in touch if the addresses keep changing? Is there some broadcast sent out to known hosts notifying them of the update?
No customers here, only maybe friends and family, and not just yet anyway, so that simplifies things a bit.:)
But about DNS, the scenario I had in mind sounds backwards to what you describe. Rather than having port 80 go to 10.10.10.10 and port 8080 go to 10.10.10.11 (which sounds like basic port forwarding, which the router could do), instead what I was previously thinking of doing (which apparently isn't possible) is to have name hammios.my.site resolve to 10.10.10.10:80 and have baconbits.my.site resolve to 10.10.10.10:6000.
But now that I'm typing this in, I can't remember even why I wanted to do that; and anyway, your 301 redirect makes more sense... maybe it had something to do with non-HTTP traffic, I forget.

Nintendo can milk this cow, the Wii teat, for a while longer.
So that's why it's white! I wondered.
Cheers,
that this is really about the users getting forked over?
Unhappily,
That could theoretically include the quantum states of all the atoms in ink on the piece of paper, so who knows, one sheet might be all you'd need.

Confused by the summary's lack of options,
Patent lawyers?
So is your phrase intended as a noun, or as a verb? I would very much like to patent lawyers, and then sit on my patent to make sure we have fewer of them floating about.

Well, that explains quite a bit, actually.

It takes the resources of a rich nation to pull something like this off (innuendo intended). The Church had that in the past; now, not so much.
Cheers,
So, by your definition, the folks laying road bombs in Iraq to drive out the US would not be categorized as terrorists. Is this correct?
(NB: I'm not laying judgment one way or the other, just trying to ascertain how your definition applies to other more modern situations.)
Cheers,
For my purposes, sshd will do, but yes, getting my landlord to enable portforwarding to my own router sounds like the best way to go.

Maybe lazors are like razors, only they use lasers instead of blades?

No no, decent analogy. And yes, I like that tree. :)

Or maybe not. It's not all jetpacks and laser beams for breakfast right now, for that matter.

Cripes, I must be getting tired -- I originally read your post as:
Because its not an option in firefox or safari by default. Its handled by penguins.
Gah! They're everywhere!
And just how far can someone hit a ball with a 2TB driver? Are they PGA-approved, or will the club kick me out if they find me using one? Hmm...
