Mishaps
This morning, while trying to boot my machine here at work, this message graced my screen: "Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: system32ntoskrnl.exe." In plain English: my hard drive had failed. It was 0700 hours at the time, the IT support wasn't exactly due soon... So I just replaced my box with another (one which wasn't being used) and went on working... fortunately I store all my work on our servers.
Gaming does cause violence
See? It's proven. Not that the gamers themselves got violent... oh no... Via the Inquirer.
USB powered vibrator, anyone?
Warning: Explicit Content. The existence of sex toys is a fact of life. But USB-powered sex toys? Seriously? Yes. May I make a prediction: Before long there will be a product on the market which can be remote-controlled by another party over the net... The applications for such technology should be obvious to anyone with a creative mind and a healty appetite for sex... And I'll just stop right now, before I upset even more people. Via the Inquirer.
