We'd make them like this, they are useful and very easy to code.
Want to check whether it's Christmas?
Or maybe on the US election result...

for Christmas, I'd have to get him this.
Still can't think what to get him for Christmas? Socks don't seem to cut it any more? Fret no longer because Burger King is here to help.
The mass purveyor of grilled meat is offering, for a limited time, something even better than their usual piles of beef patties. This week, American men were given the chance to smell like their favourite meat snack with the launch of Flame, Burger King's contribution to the perfume market.
The company describes Flame as "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat".
I posted a while ago about Google Chrome and how I was enjoying it as a browser. I've got all the web browsers on my machine for testing websites and have been mainly using Chrome and Firefox for normal browsing but the latest IE security flaw has highlighted that apparently Opera is the most secure browser for password management.
I've been really impressed with the speed of the Opera browser built into my Wii, so I thought I should give it another go. Opera was great when it first came out but in version 5 they built adverts into the browser, and I stopped using it. Now it's ad free again (woo!), and does very well in password management security, where Chrome and Safari are rubbish.
It's also got a lot of the good features of both Chrome and Firefox, like Chrome it's very quick to load and render and like Firefox there are lots of plugins (widgets). Like Chrome you have your 9 pane top websites area when you launch a new tab, although you can define what those sites are.
So yeah, I like it. It might become my #1. That said, Firefox would still be #1 by miles if they hadn't totally crippled it's speed with version 3.
Are we all drinking too much, or is it a bad thing that we're drinking less?
"Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others."
- Jules Renard
Let's cut right to the chase. Jules Renard is fuckhead and is wrong. First, he's French, so he can't be trusted right then and there. Second, he knows nothing about the powers of being lazy. If you don't try, you can't fail, so he's wrong right off the bat. If I try to build a Lamborghini Countach in my basement and fail I'm a broke loser who waste a shitload of time and money. If I just sit on the couch and drink a beer I'm richer, more rested, and I don't have a hole in my basemet wall. I just read a blog about the moron who did it and wonder...How's he gonna get that thing legally registered to drive and why does my fruit cup contain so much liquid and so little fruit?
Second, and most importantly lazy people aren't punished by the sucess of others. Lazy people rely on other people's success to survive. We're mooches. You work and make money and we try to exploit that and make money without leaving our couches.
Hell, the entire concept of investments and the stock market is built off of this concept. Lazy people take their money, buy other people's success and then make money by basically betting on that same person continuing to be successful. It's great. Most of the time. Until those idiots fail. If those damn bankers wouldn't have tried so much, they wouldn't have failed so bad and we all wouldn't be wondering how money can disappear so fast.
And no, lazy people didn't bring down the economy, greedy people and poor people did.
