  1. Desk eating on Keyboards Are Disgusting · · Score: 1

    Don't eat at your desk.. Wash your hands. Invest in a bottle of purell.
    My Keyboards are Supper clean. Well i wipe them down weekly with an anti-bacterial.
    I work in a tech department and once per quarter we have what we call the "DKS". We walk around to every office, cube, desk and look at the keyboards and mice. If someone is especially dirty we throw away the keyboard and get them a new one(Yes they have gotten that bad). Last month i found a keyboard so covered in epithelials that you could no longer see the printed letters on the keys. DKS = disgusting keyboard search

  24. Seattle Times Hoax? on John Seigenthaler Sr. Criticises Wikipedia · · Score: 1
    Quote:
    Chase also found that he was slowly being cornered in cyberspace, thanks to the sleuthing efforts of Daniel Brandt, 57, of San Antonio, Texas, who makes his living as a book indexer. Brandt has been a frequent critic of Wikipedia and started an anti-Wikipedia Web site in September after reading what he said was a false entry about himself. Using information in Seigenthaler's article and some online tools, Brandt traced the computer used to make the Wikipedia entry to the delivery company in Nashville. Brandt called the company and told employees about the Wikipedia problem but was not able to learn anything.

    Maybe i'm missing something but when i edit a wikipedia entry i don't see the ip address of other editors. So the Question becomes how did Brandt get the ip address to even trace this? So this Gentleman was working with Wikipedia? If not either i'm missing somehing about wikipedia or this information was obtained illegally? Just trying to make sense of something that doesn't look right.
