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

Batacitor

Dick was crazy/brilliant/crazy as always, but the marketing weenies are going to want a name that shouts "Batcave" a little less.

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

So eBay resolved my boss's problem.

The guy listed 21 auctions in 25 minutes to my boss's eBay account. They were all for television DVDs. All were for 24 hours and had buy-it-now prices. One was for Buffy Seasons 1-7 (eta: listed as new) with a buy-it-now price of about $70. That's all seven seasons for that price. The retail price for that is $200 or so.

Interesting. And I'm glad that didn't happen to me.

Someone hacked my boss's eBay account.

Do you have any idea how they did it? Was your boss successfully phished?

Someone got his eBay password. We really can't figure out how. Possibly through some password-guessing program, as the password, while not simple, was not the strongest either. He also used the same password for multiple sites, although no other account he has seems compromised.

eta: Don't think it was phished, as my boss is very careful about email he receives.

A keylogger perhaps? Have you checked his computer(s) for spyware?

I suggested to him that he install up-to-date antivirus software (he stopped paying for new Semantec antivirus updates about 1-2 years ago because the antivirus scans never found anything.) But yeah, so far he hasn't checked for that. And yesterday he had that strange problem with Windows Explorer not refreshing anymore....

Our wings are not tired

In 'holy crap that's really cool' news, this dude modded his Honda Civic del Sol into a replica of an x-wing. Dude. That makes my day.

This guy worked on the show I did for the Griffith Observatory. Really nice guy, and it is a really cool car, he drives it every day.

By following the links from the H-Wing I ended up at the bowling event.

That is hilarious.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

So basically define the image as a block and set the margins to auto in the CSS, and then apply the class to the image in the DIV?
