Idea for wife's birthday

A husband was in big trouble when he forgot his wife's birthday.

His wife told him "Tomorrow there better be something in the driveway for me that goes from zero to 200 in under 10 seconds".

The next morning the wife found a small package in the driveway. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Funeral arrangements for the husband have been set for Saturday.

Battle of the Browsers: IE7 vs. Firefox 2..and the WINNER is ....

Image
In one corner we have Internet Explorer 7 . After 18 months of development and a shiny new set of tabs, he's in top shape and looking better than his predecessor ever did. That is, before he entered the ring with Firefox 2.0 . Now he's just a cripple with fancy RSS reading. Interface "Unlike IE 7, which has reorganized its toolbar, Firefox 2 changes only the look and feel of its buttons."

"IE 7's new streamlined look resembles Vista's." Tabbed Browsing "New in Firefox 2 is session restore; if Windows crashes and you have several tabs open in Firefox at the time, you can now relaunch Firefox with all the tabs intact..." "Firefox 2's tab updates are generally a step ahead of IE's. For example, you can configure Firefox to always save your last session for f...

Not all immune boosters are tried and tested

Countless immune boosters fly off the shelves year-round, particularly in the cold and flu season. But even some of the most popular immune supplements haven't been tested against cold and flu in well-designed clinical trials. No clinical trials, for example, have been conducted on goldenseal, a purported immune-booster sometimes used to fend off the common cold - and there's evidence the herb may interfere with blood pressure drugs, decrease the activity of anticoagulants and hamper absorption of vitamin B. Goji, sometimes known as lycium, is a popular immune booster based on evidence from the laboratory and animal studies, and some human research in China - but no clinical trials have examined its ability to keep flu or colds at bay. The same is true for supplements derived from tropical fruits noni and mangosteen. A few herbs popular for other indicat...

Symantec refuses to sell audit tool outside the US By John Leyden Published Friday 25th November 2005 12:12 GMT Exclusive Symantec has stopped selling a password auditing tool to customers outside the US and Canada, citing US Government export regulations. A Reg reader who works for a large UK supermarket was this month unable to buy a copy of LC 5, a tool developed by @stake prior to its recent acquisition by Symantec. LC 5 is the commercial version of a password auditing / breaking tool better known as L0phtCrack. "A month ago I could have bought it from the @stake web site, that website has gone and the product has not appeared on the Symantec web site. I inquired if I could purchase the product, only to be told that it will only be sold to US and Canadian customers," our correspondent informs us. "I guess I'll just have to go back to using John the Ripper." Symantec's restrictions recall the dark days of the crypto wars when users outside the US were no...
