Don't be silly... When have you ever heard of a guy that is born with an afro? 
AND loses it the same day?

He din't told he born on that specific day - it was his birthday...
Think of a birthday present, that when you got it you actually lose something - but it nice either way...

If what you mean is restore and potentially change the course of history:
Let's say 1453, when the Imperial_Library_of_Constantinople[^] was destroyed. Or you could go earlier, to the destruction of the Library_of_Alexandria[^]
It would have been amazing if those libraries had survived.
Another good option would be the conception of Hitler. As in, to prevent it.

That's indeed what I meant.
And, I really like your thinking, so much knowledge that could have been kept if those libraries hadn't been destroyed.
But in the case of Hitler, I don't know. Problem was that history was moving in that direction anyway. And I don't dare to think where we would be today if Hitler would have been exchanged for someone slightly smarter with just slightly less balls. (Yes less balls, not more. It's easier to start a fight than winning it)

The big problem with something like that is you have no idea what the alternative would be.
for example no Hitler, but Germany needed someone strong and charismatic to drag them from recession so we get someone similar but what if they were also a competent military commander and less impulsive or at least would listen to his generals
Germany may not have lost the War
or how about no Hitler so no German rearmament but Stalin let loose, would Europe have been better with Stalin on the rampage rather than Hitler?
it's could definitely be a case of careful what you wish for

Purely hypothetical, but I'm curious to know what people would wish for, and why.

They just updated their website tool. Looks pretty good

If you need to test your regular expressions, this tool is amazing.

And while in I've not heard of it before, it's not a bad idea[^]
So, have YOU backed up recently?
Have you tested it?

Well, my breakfast is backing up at this very minute just thinking about what could happen...

Ever heard ISO 9002? We have someone to do that (full time job, and not only on 1st of April )

I reckon that ISO 9002 was deprecated in 2000?

You right it's 9001:2008 now...

Only my NAS and my VM host's virtual hard drive files get backed up. I don't spread files all over the rest of my machines.
The whole lot gets backed up with a simple robocopy.exe mirror batch file at least weekly on a hard drive (bought in a pair) that otherwise stays on my desk disconnected the rest of the time. The second drive is at the office and gets rotated once a month.

My boss and I share a trait of being heavily bad tempered. Almost into a point of getting loud at a verbal argument against one piece of code.
Recently I lost my temper and smashed my personal laptop after a few coding mistakes and frustration buildup on the coding source engine I was doing for fun.
So here's my question...
Is it just me? Or are there really just a lot of developers with bad tempers?
Edit: I think it really boils down to how I'm being handled on my projects and work. if the clients have a decent attitude towards me then I'm acceptable to them, otherwise if not, then I grit my teeth and work with it. I think my temper is ill only once there's been a lot of stress. If all is well and well-maintained then I'm happy as can be.
I really love my job, but sometimes it's hard to accept that these guys are willing to break rules just to get on my nerves.
Opinions on this?

Did you apply your sig to the lappie?
And don't you wish you'd won the lappie sleeve?
I'm pretty placid, it takes a lot to get me annoyed - but then The Red Mist descends, and I tend to be rather... Um... Overzealous...
Doesn't happen often - not that I can remember in the lasts fifteen years at least.
