Searching with Google, is annoying when you have a name that is more commonly used as a part of another name. If you look up "John Hopkin " you get results for "Johns Hopkins." Unlike other search engines you cannot add "-s" to omit the results with an "s" at the end.
I am going to miss the image search. It made it easier to find where mime photos actually came from.
If the device is indeed thermal activated, you could just put a MAC under your desk and that should keep the area warm until you get back. I wouldn't leave a MAC under the desk too long. Might get too warm.
For motion just tie a helium balloon to the MAC. Every little breeze will make it move.
If you use PCs at work, yeah, remove the batteries is the easier option.
Sadly, the online form at FTC used to report such scams cannot be filled out, UNLESS you can include the amount you paid, and how you paid it.
Were it not for that, I could report a scammer every week by their 800 number. The website they use to generate the popup ad. changes often, plus you need to find the right page on the site.
Typically, you cannot see then entire page address and the ability to copy it is disabled.
The following is a partial transcript of a chat I had, trying to explain a security flaw I found.

Actually it is _________ ________. The upper O is a typo
By having then set to auto or manual, makes it easier to hack in.

HACKERS read the community. I don't want to give anyone ideas. If I can write a program that reads the programs think what a JAVA expert could do.
Oddly, [redacted] could fix it with just two changes to the next batch.

A great prime time! Sadly though I predict a drought of primal days. using day/month/year, December 28 is the last prime for the year (28122013). After that, there shall be no more primes days until 3/01/2017. Right. No prime days for three years.
While I am not suggesting we stock=pile primes, and am alerting all to keep calm, carry on, and don't drink and derive.

I was reading the news stories for July 29 and notice that most (but not all) have a Registered Trademark symbol at the end of the story. (The circle R, or in HTML: ® in case this ® does not translate.)
Some of the other stories have a copyright (Circle C symbol). A few have neither.
The circle C (for copyright) certainly belongs in some stories. The circle R should only be on Registered Trademarks (such as the vulture symbol for The Register®.)
I suspect that any article sent to the trademark officer might be rejected. A copyright should apply. Not a trademark.
I am just so eager to see if this information will affect a change in your archives or future articles intended for copyright by The Reg.
FOR THE NOOK, the comics stay on your Nook until you delete them (or your Nook gets deleted). They still exist in your online library. There is a Nook application for the PC. You can read your library from either device.
If you found a way to print them, the publisher would be upset for sure.
So, yes, you OWN certain rights. There is an option to LEND but I haven't used it.
So far the only individual comics (of DC) available on the Nook are the ones people have scanned and offered for sale. Finding comics for the nook at nook.com is not easy. The fastest way is to type in "Arts & Entertainment" and select Newsstand. The comics SUBSCRIPTIONS start about the third page.
. There are Graphic novels available.
"LinkedIn said it was investigating the issue."
Was that from an email that said:
"Thanks for contacting us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks for informing us of this situation. We will take the appropriate action based on the results of our investigation."
I get one every time I am suggested to link to a dead person. (Jesus Christ*, Steve Jobs, etc.)
Sometimes they take action but it depends on who gets the email. While they took Jobs off of linkedin, they still want proof that Leon Trotsky (listed as "Party Commissar at Soviet Socialist Republic"**) is not a valid member. (on linkedin at http://www.linkedin.com/pub/leon-trotsky/7/620/bba )
*He died once and that counts.
** A title he didn't have while alive and didn't have after he died.
The canteen will hold 3,000! Any chance of an extra wide TV as well? Then while everyone is eating and watching, some lady athlete can run up and toss a hammer into the screen.
That aside there are no surprises.
Curved windows. Apple has always been big on custom parts.
Can't open windows. Like changing the battery on a MAC.
Apricot trees. The don't allow apple clones.
Custom power supply. (Just like the MAC.)
