Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oops, I had the array set up wrong. So the initial values were 'undefined' - once I fixed that, it works.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No worries, Jess -- I can always do my own!

Google Public DNS Aims to Speed Up Your Browsing

Google today launched a new, free DNS service—called Google Public DNS—aimed at making your web browsing experience even faster.

...

Google Public DNS, then, aims to replace your ISP's default DNS with a (hopefully) faster, safer, and more reliable alternative. Google Public DNS isn't the first freely available alternate DNS we've seen. Previously mentioned OpenDNS is an excellent DNS alternative (it boasts keyboard shortcuts, parental filters, and more), but—for better or worse—we're guessing that even more people may be interested in Google's offering.

Tests of its performance: Move Over OpenDNS, Google DNS is Here and It Rocks

In my tests, Google DNS consistently outperformed both OpenDNS and Level 3. For Americans the Level 3 server (4.2.2.2) might offer as good performance as Google. But if you are living outside US and you care about your browsing experience you should switch now :). The results are below

Is there a way to fake an area code in a phone call?

Could you get a a cheap cell phone and activate it in a different area code?

Telemarketers and collections companies will sometimes alter what shows up in the Caller ID of people they call. (Not sure if this is illegal, or soon will be.) I've heard this is simple to do, but I've never looked into it myself.

bon bon, you could try google voice, if your BIL could get an acct, he could register it anywhere.

You could try buying a calling card on the Internet.
