Do you get annoyed when someone accuses you of something you didn't (and can't) do? Like saying "you sent us this virus, you're a bad person" just because they trust the "From:" line of a virus-laden e-mail? Well, I do. Here's why.

30 things people actually said in court. You have to wonder how many were held in contempt (or that brought the proceedings to an uproarious halt!)

The Rules of Chocolate. We all know them...

The Rules, required reading for any male. Or female, come to think of it... find out who's always right (unless she wants to be wrong).

The Emacs versus Vi wars (the "grinch" emacs one is always popular around Christmastime). With thanks to Chuck Musciano... (I saved the vi "song" from back in the old sun-spots digest days; remember them?)
