- Let me get this straight: I worked my ass off full-time for 17 years and paid into Social Security - against my will, I might add - knowing there's a distinct possibility it will cease to exist before I'm old enough to get my money back. But despite the fact that I - and millions upon millions of people in my age-group - have been compelled to pay into a system that's been screwed all to hell, that's screwing our parents, and that's likely to screw us, too... now we're talking about paying Social Security benefits to day-workers and undocumented immigrants from Mexico? Thanks, ! |

- No, I didn't mistype that. Dung Cleaner is supposed to be a game based on the classic Lode Runner. PPCT moderator Kati Compton noticed that Asus is now bundling this uniquely-named product with their A620BT, and hypothesized that the translation started at "Load Runner" instead of "Lode Runner" and went downhill from there. [Emoticon: lol] The interesting part is, the game looks pretty good. |

- A black employee was promised a 45 cents per hour raise after his first six months, but did not receive it. Unfortunately, he did not recognize the error until more than three years later. When he did, he found that not only did he not get it, but white employees did. He filed a charge with the EEOC claiming that he did not receive the raise because of his race. The EEOC, and later the trial judge, both found his claim time barred as filed more than 300 days after the 'discrete act' of failing to give him the promised raise. |

- When "Radio" first started making its appearance, the cloud was hosted on the domain, ourfavoritesongs.com. That was a strange time. Who knew that Radio would have turned out to be my most used tool and who knew that it wouldn't have anything to do with a list of other users and the music they like. |

After take-off in a 747-400 the landing gear wouldn't retract, however rather than dumping they circled for 5 hours to burn fuel and landed again at Heathrow. |
