I'm with Mike. I had the worst kind of widom tooth extraction done and had the choice of two nights in hospital or 30 mins in the chair under local. He's a top dentist and charges such but you get what you pay for...
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Herself also hates dentists - she has been known to "leg it" out of the ladies room window before now - so I haven't told her her appointment for tomorrow has been cancelled, it would only upset her!
Why upset? Because she would want to know when it has been remade for, and then she will be worrying and planning escape routes for an extra week. She only goes every six months, so she always forgets the appointment, and I only remind her when it's actually time to put the handcuffs on, fit the anti-bite gag and ship her off to see him... 
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

Was it your wisdom teeth? Those are the molars at the very back, which start to come in in your early to mid teens. Yeah, those usually need to come out.
In my case, they were causing chronic jaw pain. When I developed a cavity in one, the prospect of having to have a top far back tooth filled prompted me to get them yanked. All four of them, in one go. I didn't get a general anesthetic (there was no specialist anesthesiologist) but I was dosed with knock-out gas which had the same effect. Fixed the jaw pain, and I still have the teeth on my dresser. Insurance covered half the cost.

That's good. I think that my insurance doesn't pay a cent..

...not all of them, but just my wife.
But seriously, if the teeth are infected enough that your doc says it should be removed, then why should it be postponed until it rots in the sockets? Unless the "later moment" comes in a day or two.
And I'm unsure why do you need full anesthesia for the removal of two teeth. Which teeth are these?

So, those would still be molar teeth. I've heard those are the ones to get infected quickly since toothbrush may not be able to effectively reach there to clean unless enough care is exercised regularly.
I'd still recommend just taking the pain and getting the procedure done with local anesthesia instead of using general (full body) anesthesia.

Wanted to save my IE9 Favorites at work. (only "approved" browser)
Looked at the export and what does it say "NETSCAPE-Bookmark", since I was using a product called Microsoft Internet Explorer and exporting "Favorites" this seems a bit odd. Especially since I have used Netscape in the past.
You got to love a company too lazy to either make their own or re-brand what they bought.
It also says that the file I manually exported is an automatically generated file???

The action was manual, and resulted in a generated file.
It collects your bookmarks and turns it into a HTML-file?

Correct. However here is the header.

<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
It says the document is a netscape bookmark file, a standard of sorts used by browsers to share bookmarks based on Netscape's method of storing bookmarks.
It is not saying that it contains Netscape bookmarks.
As for the automatically generated file, well, it was.
Unless you typed it yourself, in which case why did you type in that you had automatically generated it?

You sir are correct.
But it would seem more appropriate to say it was a Microsoft list of favorites.

Go ahead, blow another standard up - It's not like Microsoft hasn't been doing this for ages

Why would it be 'more appropriate' to add an extra piece of (more or less useless) info?
If you have a closer look, you'll see that as mentioned - it doesn't say that it's a list of Netscape favourites. It merely says it's using a doctype which contains the text 'NETSCAPE'
An alternative may well be a reduction in the interoperability of the browsers, for the net gain of ???
Quoting from the MSDN page [^]on the topic, "The Windows Internet Explorer Favorites file format is exactly the same as the Netscape Bookmark file format."
Try looking inside documents created by OpenOffice - I'll bet that .DOCX files produced by it have parts of the header info that are identical to those produced by MS Office. The fact that the header contains more data (than this bookmark format) allows the creator to be differentiated - but key pieces of information are still identical.
Sounds like a case of PICNIC to me!

Thanks for specific answer. Good one.
I don't why but there is weird mentality of bashing MS amongst developer (!) community whose bread-butter majorly depends on MS products. And more often than not, it their ignorance that is highlighted at the end.
-Thanks
Thanks,

You could just copy contents of "Favourites" folder under your profile. Handy if you want only some of the links.
As a side note: when some large organization (not necessary MS) uses own format for something - people complain about closed standards. When reuse something else - people complain about NOT using own standards

It beats the cr@p out of the way IE used to save bookmarks: as shortcuts taking up one allocation unit each.

The automatic part is them creating a file handle and closing it when done writing to disk.
