If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I think it xould be like a kind of Chromebook but hooked into yer phone, so all your stuff is with you but xou have the option of using a keyboard for actually editing documents etc. I think it looks smaller than your average laptop. And a hell of a lot cheaper.
For personal faffing around (i.e. not actual work) on the go it looks promising, to me.

look like you are needing one (at least the keyboard)

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Jeez, I didn't think ANYBODY had seen that movie except me! Not exactly in the Top 10 of best movies ever made...

What can I say? 
No, it certainly wasn't in the top 10 (or top 100, for that matter) films of all time, but it was good, clean fun.

It was felt throughout the country. We're a bit south of Auckland and we're woken up by bang sounds round the house and cats running round everywhere. I jumped out of bed to see what the hell the cats had bought in this time. Thought it must have been another rabbit or bird. I felt very uneasy on my feet and just thought it was because I'd jumped out of bed too quick from a deep sleep. The other half then realised it was a earhquake. Felt similar to when the big Christchurch earthquake hit.
The damage down south is quite bad, but unlike the Christchurch one it's not too close to the large cities. Wellington had a bit of damage but appears to be mosty superficial.
Feel sorry for everyone down south as they still getting over Christchurch quakes.
So far I believe there has only been a couple of causilties to date.
It's going to be a lot of after shocks and the experience of Christchurch show that's what slowly wears you down and the rebuild can take a long time.

Last weekend we had a cake with kiwi from New Zealand - delicious...
Hopefully the real Kiwis are doing well... 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Something's moving down there - the last 2 months saw a handful of strong earthquakes in central Italy too.

OK, so maybe I'm feeling a little bitter tonight about - well, lots of things really - but I get these emails from Bing Webmaster tools saying "Malware has been found on your site".
Like any paranoid site admin I jump onto it because I'm assuming malware == you cease to exist on our index. Thanks for playing.
So I click the link. It sends me to a page that's in 8pt font that says it's redirecting, then the message centre which says "Malware detected on codeproject.com". So I click the link and I get the news
"Bing Webmaster Tools detected 26 pages infected with malware"
So I click on the "more info" link it says
No malware was found on CodeProject.com
Site admins seriously need danger money for the stress search engines place on us. Make sure you add this tag. And this meta data. But not in this format, in the other. Now do this. Now stop doing that. Actually you should have stopped doing that 6 months ago because it's BAD. But no, we're not actually going to tell you because then you could game the system. And BTW, you're off our search index because one of your tags is improperly closed*. Now make sure your authors ref their Google+ profile or you'll be downgraded. Except we just cancelled that feature. And make sure your CSS is in a stylesheet and cached. Except it can't be external it must be totally inlined for mobile.
ARGGHH.
So anyway, it's no wonder my alcohol bill is steadily creeping up with each iteration of search engine algorithms. Anyone else have some fun stories to share?
*yes, this actually happened to us. 6 weeks of hell.
cheers

Not web related but I once wrote a little auto run program which did some poking in the windows folder. Just a quick dirty something to reduce the symptoms of an issue a user had and it got flagged as potential virus.
Don't know how or why but added it as trusted manually, didn't think more of it because the week after I had the time to fix the main issue.
So far first and only time I've had an AV issue.

Meanwhile, despite having written a 'key/mouse logger' (captured all user input and banged it to a remote computer via rs232 instead of writing to to a log file) I never had any grief from AV software.
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?

Perhaps you did it so overt that any AV thought that no one with bad intent would ever make such an obvious program.
Did you run it manually as an admin? Try having it launch with autorun and see if any AV reacts, if you still have it that is.
