Vortex, yes. If it's just certain applications that you don't want to see, when someone posts one, hover the mouse over the box of their post, in the upper right hand corner. You'll see an x. You are usually given the option of hiding everything from that user, or just hiding that particular application. Note that not all quizzes are applications, so it might not work for all.
Strong like an Amazon.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Microsoft said on Thursday that a nearly-final version of its next-generation Windows 7 operating system will be publicly released on May 5.
...
Windows XP holdouts are being told they will have to upgrade to Vista to make a transition to Windows 7.
"Windows 7 shows significant promise," Forrester Research analyst Ben Gray wrote in an independent report on the operating system. "Start preparing for it now, and the best way to prepare for Windows 7 is by deploying Windows Vista."
WTF??? In other words, you have to buy Vista so you can buy Windows 7?

That seems whack. I'm skeptical it will really work that way.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There have been rumors that there won't be an easy upgrade from XP to Windows 7.
Still, way to piss off large numbers of your customer base if that's so....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
From what I've been hearing, you need to go through Vista to do an upgrade? -- that is, a "hey, hit this button and we'll manage everything for you". It's not the case that you can't install Win7 without buying Vista first; people who want to back up and do a clean install can do so, but they just won't make it as easy for you to skip over Vista altogether.

Way to encourage the black market, Microsoft.

Compassionately intolerant
Thanks for asking that Facebook question Vortex. I've as much as abandoned the site for weariness over "Thus and so has sent Whose and so a blankfilling!"
I get enough flotsom in my data stream without all that.
Speaking of jetsom, I'm trying to figure out if there is a useful way to archive email onto a disc from Thunderbird.
I followed all the instructions, zipping the profile, adding it to a burn folder and burning it onto a dvd. Upon opening, however, most of the archived mail was jibberish.
Is this the best I can hope for given email formats and html stuff?
