My wife asked me if I had a spare USB memory stick for her to use. I did, and when I was preparing it for her, discovered that there’s no decent free portable anti-virus application for USB flash drives. My wife is not very computer-savvy, so what I was looking for was an app that would autorun and scan any files being transferred to/from the... - http://amplify.com/u/a1jdym

People who ask questions in seminars, not to learn, but to showboat or grandstand. Whoopee for you that you already have a successful ~!@#ing business, but I’m actually here to learn from the lecturer! - http://amplify.com/u/a1j7iw

US history buffs out there, does anyone have a reasonably simple explanation as to why the South wasn’t allowed to secede from the Union? I’ve never really understood that. - http://amplify.com/u/a1ibbs
I happened to visit Eastgate mall a few Sundays ago and passed through the banking court, where all the major banks in SA are represented. Although it was Sunday morning, all of the bank branches were open and buzzing, with the exception of … Standard Bank. What’s the thinking there in the ivory tower? We’re too big to have to compete? - http://amplify.com/u/a1i980

Went onto the SABC TV Licence Website to update the school’s details and make payment for 2011/12. The Website promptly proceeded to collapse like a badly-built house of cards! It’s difficult to over-estimate how much sh*t is actually out there! - http://amplify.com/u/a1edmb
Working with domains in the .co.za namespace is becoming a real pain! I’m starting to think I should avoid registering .co.za domains at all costs in future. The technology behind DotCoZa appears to be absolutely antediluvian! - http://amplify.com/u/a1edm9

Mishkan T'filah is a worthy successor to previous prayer books (siddurim) used by the Progressive Jewish community. I just think that those who compiled it lost a superb opportunity to abbreviate the services (or at least the material making up each service). Instead, the opposite appears to have happened, with material which was absent from... - http://amplify.com/u/a1dyad

While the conspiracy theories around the NASA moon landings are unconvincing, I’ve often wondered why “we” never went back. The last manned moon landing was 1972, while the last unmanned mission was 1976, i.e. almost 40 years ago! As a youngster poring over accounts of the moon landings in newspapers and magazines (hey, we never had TV in SA in... - http://amplify.com/u/a1dc66
