That sucks, Walt! I wish you a speedy recovery, and revenge upon the therapists when you're able.

Wow, man, that sucks!
On the bright side, the txt-speak generation will be able to read your posts & translate for us 'older' gents 
Get well soon seems insufficient but, well, Get Well Soon!

So many typo's and no one to correct you, then you know sh*t is serious!
Good luck to you and your family.
Get well soon. And get your cold glass of water soon too.
At least you can add another runtime error to your repertoire...

THanks for all the good wishes. I'm transferring to a rehab facility tomorrow and should be able to start back working again. Still not walking onb my own yet, so more therapy in store. The doctors say my mi8nd is OK, though, dso I'll survive and get back to being a pain in the Arse gain soon.Yestwerdaty I got a day pass so I went home for awhile.Then my wife wanted to go to the mall, so I went with her in my wheelchair, THere is a Microsoft store there, so I went to get the Surfacwe3 Pro I wanted
Surface3Pro I had' planned to get.My wife spotted a remote control car with a camera and said " Too bad it won't fly." The sales guy said "No problem.", so I left with aSurface3 Pro 256 GB I7 and a Parrot, Rollng Spider MiniDrone. That should keep me busy for a while!I I thinkI'll keep that wife.

Let's see if I can get this direct link thingy to work. @Roger-Wright
Roger, Bits DuJour[^] have Disk Ferret going for USD$9.95, it seems to fit the bill for the utility you were asking for last time I mentioned one of their deals.
Be careful though, it seems I have created a BitsDuJour account even though it wasn't mentioned during the purchase and I haven't created one the many other times I have bought software through their deals.
Have sent them a faarrrkkkk off email, will see what happens.

Seems to work well, @Michael-Martin, for you, at least. I have no idea what the trick is to get the encoding to work.
Thanks for the link to the Disk Ferret - I'll look into it! 
[EDIT] Ah, it works when posted, but not when previewed... [/EDIT]

For the next time you're planning on trying to land on one. Just how big is 67P[^]?

Comparison against objects that only exist in sci-fantasy isn't helpful.
Death star? Federation Station? Manhattan?
|
|
|

I heard Manhattan was a real place, before it sunk under the seas due to global warming! 
|
|
|
|

Nah, that was Atlantis.
Manhattan sank to Hell due to pressure of financial manipulations.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I didn't believe you until I visited London.
I could see Manhattan from my hotel room.

67p? It's about a dollar US.

When I read this "Today, the European Space Agency successfully landed a probe on a comet moving at 80,000 miles per hour. That’s an extraordinary achievement" I realised that it was not going to be a paticularly scientifically stimulating article.
80,000 miles per hour relative to what? I guess they mean relative to the orbital vector of Earth when the spacecraft was launched.

Possibly, but it might be relative to the Sun. I can't find a reference that defines it.

Good point!
That thought came to me while I was out on my lunchtime walk.
Without knowing the reference point, it makes it difficult to determine what 88,000 mph means.

Exactly. We're moving a lot faster than that ourselves.

88,000 miles per hour is the speed 1000 DeLorean's need to travel at before they can all go "Back in time".
Were 1000 DeLorean's even built?

Just got the good news[^] via User Voice.
Guess I need to find some other horrible problem to request they fix now.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
