Too late for the COMM, but there are a few points re: nuclear reactor that MUST be addressed:

DUDE! Do you know what this means?!?! MM can have an awesome power source for his Transporter development! We (as B.org) TOTALLY have to chip in for one.

Were you all to do this, I promise I would use it responsibly, for the betterment of humankind...or at least the Buffistas...and not for a death-ray with which I could decimate entire regions of the Earth, holding the planet for ransom until every nation capitulates and proclaims me King of the Planet.

No, really. I promise. Cross my heart and hope to vaporize St. Petersburg...I mean...crap.

It should be safe in Mich. Nothing bad happens there.

Dude. The state is made of "bad happens here".

You've obviously haven't been paying attention to U Michigan's football team this year.

Low blow. But true.

It's true, though. It's like a world domination starter kit.

...and the gift that keeps on giving...hint, hint.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

For those who helped with my laptop saga, I ended up with this machine (retrieved yesterday in a stealth run to Best Buy, which was surprisingly uncrowded):

So...anyone got recommendations for the best place to buy memory?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Did you sign up for Seekrit Santa?

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

Sometimes when working in Access or the Visual Studio .Net API, I open up Notepad and use it to store snippets of code, bits of SQL, etc. Is there anyway to get an application like Notepad to always stay on top of other apps? Or some program similar to Notepad that can do this?

(This is for XP.)

Notepad++

The view menu has an option for always on top

It is also an excellent text editor.

That program looks cool. Thanks - I'm downloading it now.
