Boycott Beijing
I think it is extraordinarily contradictive that a swimmer involved in a bar fight can have his right to swim at the games removed.... What the hell is going on? Tibetans are being murdered, en masse and China can still hold the olympic games, then one bloke gets in a bar fight and he is as good as restricted from going?!? I need a drink... This is pitifully stupid (and oh so backwards...).
I think everybody who feels this is unjust should boycott beijing. As much as I love the olympics, I wont be watching.
Tiananmen Square was not that long ago either, people.
Linux Users forced to use Windows?
As an avid Linux user, using Windows can be a bit daunting and quite irritating. The most irritating part of Windows is the loss of the select-and-middle-click-paste functionality of X. Well, after a bit of searching and post reading (mainly on lifehacker) I found my Windows alternative. I love it to death!!

Brian Jones has created an apache access log parser in Python which seems like a very handy tool.

DROP TABLE(S) ??
For those of you that have ever tried to put up with a less-than-efficient operations department or are on a hosting plan with one database and only have drop permissions within that one database, then you'll know that dropping a few hundred tables from within the database is a bit of a time consuming and somewhat boring process. Well, why not create a drop query with a query?
SELECT CONCAT( 'DROP TABLE ', GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT(' ', TABLE_NAME)) , ';' ) AS statement FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA LIKE '%databasename%';
That will return a big 'DROP TABLE' statement. It will probably need to be run several times as depending on how many tables you have, the query may cut off half way through a name as the GROUP_CONCAT max length by default is 1024 chars.

Internet Explorers non compliant EVERYTHING
IE has a bug with naming an element just created with createElement. So it can cause problems.
Heres a good article on how to get around it. Very easily.
