The PC hadn't been turned on in about 6 months. Apparently the dude who I was replacing was into Russian brides and err, certain types of ethnic pr0n, and had got the sack for various dodgy reasons 6 months prior to my instalment. Anywho, in the 6 months that this computer was un-manned, my company installed Norton across all other PC's.
My 2nd day was interesting, when I first turned on the computer. EVERYONE who had the Norton running detected all sorts of network worms and virusiis's (:P) the second I'd booted into Win XP. I thought,
"Oh crap, here we go. Time to clean up this mess..."
and began a search for *.jpg. Kapow, tonnes of hairy pr0n, selected all and shift deleted.
Next, it was time to install the company antivirus software, which was Norton. The next couple of days were spent trying to free my infected system of all sorts of goodies. I started by enabling the Norton Mail Monitor, and oh my, how funny!
"Scanning out going mail, Scanning out go-Scanning out going mai-Scaning out g-Scan"
The WHOLE screen filled up with Norton "scanning out going mail" boxes, like, 100's of them. This was my first job outside of the IT industry, and a big WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD for me. So yes, what's the point of my story? Well, Russian brides are hairy. OH, and not all companies have IT departments, let alone competent IT staff who can source and cease zombie machines from operating.
As for me, living in Australia, I'll always use incandescent bulbs in my bedroom. I have this dimmer remote switch (HPM XL400ESD) I use, and if memory serves me correctly, the manual states that it only works with incandescent light bulbs. Fluro bulbs can't be dimmed the old fashioned way, due to the nature of how they work.
Note: Remote control touch pad light switches kick arse. Couldn't recommend them enough! http://www.hpm.com.au/
Canada's turn at the moment. I wonder if Australia will be next, as it's been awhile since our ISP's spammed out these warning letters. For me, not that I've ever gotten one, the worst part about getting one of these letters would be when I have to lie to my folks about not downloading everything stated in said letter. =\
Haha, yup, I read it as "Do you care about Racing games?".
And to answer that question, if there was a World Rally Championship racing game out there, then yes, I would. I would give anything for an awesome WRC game:(
Back on topic. My warrior is Caucasian, my monk is Asian, my necro is Native African. When designing them, I cared about their appearence, such as skin colour and face details, but not their race.
Why do these experts assume that we all think of our universe as existing in three dimensions? Labelling our reality with different levels of dimensions is so, so, SO stupid to even begin with, let alone limiting it to various increments. Our universe is far too dynamic to be summarized in this incorrect way, and it's been described like this for far too long.
"OH BUT HAY, IF YOU FOLD A PIECE OF PAPER IN HALF, AND STICK A PEN THROUGH IT, YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A WORMHOLE BUDDY, INTERDIMENSIONAL SPACE TRAVEL"
Great. Now I'm all angst.
"OK, so... if you and Cara were drunk together, and she turned to you and said, 'Tim, let's go--'"
I interrupted him. "Well, then I'd f*** her whilst thinking of your mum..." The detective hardened.
Fixed it for him. ^_^
I'm glad I live in Australia, where this sort of nonsense simply doesn't happen (to this scale). What's the go when you get caught in this kind of situation, and the detectives start "invading your privacy" as such? I mean, I'd be inclined to simply stop talking and ask for a lawyer if a detective started asking me if I'd like to bone a chick I game on with...

Wife: "What is it honey?"
Husband: "Some jerk let the car down last night!"
Heh, and the office apprentice could look after the BACO board and keep everyones air times. They could make coffee AND refill the air tanks too! ^_^
Ctrl F, Tab, "How many Aust"
Gah, beaten! Hats off to you sire!

I made the switch from hotmail to gmail a few years ago, mid 2004, and I've never been happier! Each to their own.
Cisco = Big Businesss
Apple = Big Business
I don't see how your case study of Googlemail is relevant to this.
My boss lies, and I surf /. all day. It's a win win situation.
Pretty sure it was. :D
I wonder what year we'll get arcologies?!

My Gamecube is still jammed from the last DVD I tried playing. :(
I, for one, welcome our new giant insectoid overlords. :P
