Putting a cell phone on vibrate is polite in a restaurant. If someone forgets, I don't really mind. Using a PTT phone, on the other hand, is EXTEMELY obnoxious. A friend of mine once yelled at someone for using such a phone repeatedly at a restaurant. The waiters had to ask the guy to step outside or turn it off.
PTT can be very useful, but I would not be surprised to see a news report about someone getting beaten due to overusing one of these.

Your Link is unquestionably one of the most valuable resources to come from an MS-MVP in a long time.
I have bookmarked it and passed it on to those who Need To Know.
The only true question I have remaining after so all-encompassing a wellspring of wisdom is revealed is: How can I make some money off of these fools?

Balboos asks: "How can I make some money off of these fools?"
What you need to do is make up some recluse superior being that will supposedly save them provided they live out some ritualistic lifestyle that involves them giving you a percentage of their money, with you being the channel through which the superior being communicates. It's been done many times before for 1000s of years. Just follow past examples.

http://www.exodus2006.com/2013.htm[^] Is not working.. in 2012 it say the world will end so no prediction for 2013.
By looking at the amount of donation[^] they have, it is not unfair for them to expect the world to end. Their timing is perfect..

Yes we will but as our fathers, mothers, sons, daughters and relatives
Note: There are lots of false alarms not sure which one is correct, I can hardly remember some were shouting about an “end of the Earth” with the world war III by the year 1996

CodeProject should release HTML code to put on my own website that displays my statistics, like # articles, member # etc. Like those images available from Geocaching that shows the number of caches found.

You're already quad-platinum, not much further to go  . One hell of an achievement BTW - especially with an average rating > 4! Another challenge would be having a permanent place on the home page as one of the top 5 most popular article - that would have to be my ultimate goal (on CP anyway :->)

No, we're still some readers. I'm just reading (yet again) Dune (among with Rabelais' Gargantua & Pantagruel and - of course - Hasek's Svejk).
Unfortunately I accidentally let Dune to fall in bathroom yesterday and the poor book looks now like a some sort of vegetable.

Poor you... You can always get a new one for that, there are still bookstores out there selling it. And I don't think its expensive anymore.

I'll sure do. It's the 3rd damaged in this way. But still readable.

Leave the book for long enough in a warm environment and it will be a vegetable (alright a fungi) - a book that really grows on you.

Why should Google release one of their strategic jewel?
For what? I don't think their GoogleFS or very large table column-based search are usable for consumer OS...
If they will give the source code, now that would be interesting.
