• iPhone warranty voided by using outside in winter
  Delicious recommends the use of a WTF tag for this story. Seriously, using it outside in the winter is in breach of specifications? What planet are they on? Wouldn't get that with a Nokia.

• A 2nd work by The Eagles that I've known for years--who knew?
  I had no idea that the music to H2G2 was by The Eagles. That makes two of their tracks I recognise instinctively. Wonder if there're any more?

• Fred Phelps is a Con Man - Looks right to me
  A reasonable contribution to the "what planet are the WBC on" discussion. Apparently they've decided not to picket the funeral of the girl killed in Tucson, but this analysis makes a lot more sense than the hypothesis that they actually believe the tripe they spout.

• Dot Dot Dot - Animated Game Review, nasty
  I think this is one of the better responses to a moronic review I've seen.

• Things that make you feel old: What are the Windows A: and B: drives used for?
  None of my current machinces nas an A drive, although the old Desktop upstairs does. That there are IT literate people that have no clue what they were is, well, scary. Mat Bowles is 36, and beginning to feel his age.

Yeah, you could do a sort of "copy a: b:" even if you didn't have a second physical drive. It would then tell you to insert the disk for a: and b: and copy from disk to disk, buffering data in RAM.
