    Touche' I had forgotten that. It would need tremendous power and I'm sure there are kill switches everywhere. :-\

        Yup, that browser-not-to-be-named only lived for 1 minute on this machine. CP menu was all screwed up and that did for me :-\

              But, if the OP were living in some LHC generated blackhole, the gravity would prevent any of his banter from getting out to CP ;P

                          Big money had nothing to do with the Challenger explosion, it was unseasonably cold weather that deteriorated the O-rings.

                          Apparently you did not read the report on the Challenger disaster. It was found that the people with the purse strings ignored the scientists who said the rings would fail in the cold weather; this information was suppressed by their supervisors. And as far as the senseless babbling, I know my facts. Do you?

                                    That's excellent! It gave me a WTF moment when the flashing lights started up. Goes well with Kent Sharkeys CP Newsletter one liner: "What can IT learn from the Large Hadron Collider?" It's all fun and games until someone creates a black hole?

                                          Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall
