That's more like "facility for degreasing wonders" :)

In Brunei, there's a 10000 Brunei Dollar note. That's currently worth about USD 7000.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunei_dollar for a reference. I've actually seen one of these in person :)

After trying to catch a mouse with no success for a while using some home made traps based on various designs from the web, we ended up getting the "corner cat" at a local hardware store. It caught two the first night, and in the last 4 weeks or so has caught a total of 7 mice (we thought we only had one!). We usually drop them off a few miles away to be sure. They really can't get out of this thing once they're in there, and it's reusable over and over again (plus you don't have to drink out of it afterwards).

Well worth the $10 or so...

Rogers, a cable provider here in Canada, has been blocking/throttling bittorrent here for some time now.

For a while it was possible to circumvent the throttling by using encryption, but then Rogers started throttling a variety of encrypted connections under some circumstances (!). https, ssh, etc. started become slow to the point of being completely crippled, while regular http traffic continued to work just fine.

I've recently switched from them to an independent DSL provider. Apart from dozens of confirmations from friends and some mentions on broadband and bittorrent forums online, there has been hardly any coverage of this.

Is it a coincidence that "Watterson" is spelled "Waterson" in the post, and "Schulz" is spelled "Shulz" in the first few sentences? I wasn't going to comment about the "t"s in "Watterson" but then I noticed the "Shulz" and that just freaked me out ;).

Maybe I'm just being overly pedantic today.
