Yet another Internet Explorer flaw to beware of. This one could result in more <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/pcworld/20041220/tc_pcworld/118997" target="_new">phishing scams</a>. The culprit that causes this.

A day is 24 hours long. <br />nA box of beer contains 24 bottles. <br />nIs this a coincidence or is the world trying to tell me something?

It's really beginning to look like there will not be a white Christmas this year. How disgusting. We really need the moisture. The National Weather Service has a web page now that gives the <a href="http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/byz/local_news/whitechristmas.php" target="_blank">probability of a white Christmas</a> for the entire US.
