    You are right; apparently, I gave about as much thought to the animal itself as its owner seems to.

    Steve Fossett may be alive, investigator claims

    Sorry, I only knew what was in the article you linked to, which doesn't say whether those six were reported lost or not. I guess I assumed that out of six missing airplanes, at least one of them might have been reported missing by somebody, but I have been known to be wrong in the past. On...

    If you suspect the animal has a health problem, by all means contact the appropriate authorities. The dog might be passing it to other animals, both tame and wild, other than yours.

    They'll politically correct you to death

    For anyone less familiar with British weights, 1 stone = 14 US pounds or 6.35 kilograms. Therefore, the 15 year old girl who weighs 33 st. weighs 463 lbs. or 210 kg.

    Steve Fossett may be alive, investigator claims

    Never heard of the guy, but this comment from the article struck me as amusing: Yeah, you're so good, that while you're out looking for one plane, you find six others that you weren't even looking for? Maybe they should start looking for somebody else, then they'll find this guy by accident.

    Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I should probably put up an explanation on there somewhere of who some of those people are. In any event, Dawn and I have two children: Thomas, who just turned 7, and William, who's 3. Debbie is Dawn's sister. Dan is Debbie's husband. Joshua and Mackenzie are...

    Having owned a Palm Treo 700wx (Windows Mobile 5) and used several other Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phones, I am at a complete loss to understand the comment about copy+paste being a tacked-on feature. It always worked fine for me, and seemed fairly intuitive. Select some text with the stylus (there...

    JonBenet Ramsay, Parents Cleared.

    A friend of mine, who was a male model earlier in life, met the girl and her parents once. Based on his impression of the mother he formed in person, he always suspected her of having something to do with it.

    Mac vs PC

    Nixy, I've seen you mention Parallels a few times. If you're going to do that, also consider VMWare Fusion, the major competitor to Parallels. They both do the same main thing, although some of the details are handled a bit differently, and either one may be able to do one or two things the...

    Hummingbirds...

    It could have been starving. Excluding insects, hummingbirds have the fastest metabolism of any animal, and at any given moment, are only hours away from starving to death.

    Resistance is futile...

    I tried a BlackBerry Curve 8330 recently. I wound up not liking it much and returned it. I am back with my Palm Treo 755P with Palm OS. What did I not like about the BB Curve? No touch screen. Since the BB OS is not designed to rely on a touch screen, though, this probably wouldn't be a...

    Mac vs PC

    The "hard shut down" is not hibernation, it's manually forcing the computer to turn off by holding the power button in until it shuts off (about 4 seconds); PCs have the same feature. The point was that sometimes things hang so bad that CTRL-ALT-DEL, or the Mac equivalent, just won't work, and...

    Childhood memories

    I can remember being in my crib. I can remember one instance of having my diaper changed. I can remember being potty trained. I can remember crawling around before learning how to walk. I remember a bit from my first birthday party. But I have no idea what I had for lunch two days ago.

    Okay,so maybe Macs aren't that bad

    I totally forgot to comment on the size/shape of the Mighty Mouse. I see some of you like it, some don't. It definitely is a compact design that travels easily; that's why I put it with my travel kit, and rarely used it at home. But in general I do not like the feel of it in my hand. I have...
