Something tells me you won't be catching this story on Fox News:"Iran Air Flight 655 was shot down by the US Navy's guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes on Sunday July 3, 1988, killing all 290 passengers, including 66 children, and crewmembers onboard. The civilian airliner, carrying passengers from Iran, Italy, the UAE, India, Pakistan and the former Yugoslavia, was en route from Iran's southern

Blackle.com Promises to Out-Green Google: "Instead of using Google, or Yahoo the next time you want to search for something on the Internet, try using Blackle.com. Why you ask? White screen space is bad. It eats up energy, and because the site is black it uses less energy, according to Bill Thompson, BBC pundit for the program 'Digital Planet.'

I found this handy tip to date stamp an MS Excel file's last-saved time (and person). (Yes, files do get time-stamped when saved, but if they are ever sent via email, that date-stamp can get over-written when saved off the server to a local hard drive. This little macro stamps the date right into the worksheet.)Originally found here: Here's how it's done: Right-click on worksheet tab, select "

Could this be Obama's vice-president? He certainly likes the way Patrick writes speeches! Notice how he flubs the quote, pauses, and then decides to continue anyways? Funny.In college, when you write something without citing proper sources, this is known as plagiarism. Usually, they make a big deal about it. Obama obviously didn't think he'd get caught and he obviously wanted to take the credit
