Server room inside women's restroom
I always knew womens restrooms were nicer than what we guys got. Now I see they have server rooms in there too!
From: ---- --------
Sent: Monday, May 5, 2008 4:37 PM
To: Everyone
Subject: Server Room Access
Hi all.
As you all are aware, we have new tenants that have moved into
the 2nd floor suites. The access to the server room is now via
the women’s bathroom.
There will be a sign on the woman’s door that can be changed
from OPEN to CLOSED and vice versa.
Should you need to enter the server room, please change the sign
to CLOSED. Once you are done, please change it back to OPEN.
Once you enter the bathroom, you will be able to access the
server room via the handicapped stall. Please close the stall
door prior to entry, just in case someone doesn’t see that the
bathroom is closed.
I know this isn’t ideal, but if we adhere to this protocol, I
don’t think anyone will be disrupted.
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.

I hate Captcha
A CAPTCHA is a program that can generate and grade tests that humans can pass but current computer programs cannot. The term CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas Hopper and John Langford of Carnegie Mellon University. At the time, they developed the first CAPTCHA to be used by Yahoo.

glo Pillow
The glo Pillow is an alternative to the traditional alarm clock. The pillow uses an LED fabric substrate below the surface to wake the user using light. This substrate also functions as a display, showing the time on the pillows surface using the grid of LEDs below.
40 minutes before the pre-set alarm time the pillow begins to glow and gently brings the user out of sleep. This natural waking process helps to set the circadian rhythm or "body clock" and results in more healthy sleep/wake patterns.

How Much Sleep Do You Really Need?
Q: How much sleep is ideal?
A: Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hr. or more, or less than 6.5 hr., they don't live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hr. Sleeping 8.5 hr. might really be a little worse than sleeping 5 hr..

Scientists develop fastest computer
Scientists unveiled the world's fastest supercomputer on Monday, a $100 million machine that for the first time has performed 1,000 trillion calculations per second in a sustained exercise.
The technology breakthrough was accomplished by engineers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and IBM Corp. on a computer to be used primarily on nuclear weapons work, including simulating nuclear explosions.
The computer, named Roadrunner, is twice as fast as IBM's Blue Gene system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which itself is three times faster than any of the world's other supercomputers, according to IBM.

After 67 years at the bottom of the sea, the watch is still working
The last time Teddy Bacon saw his expensive gold watch it was sinking down into the harbour in Gibraltar. That was in 1941, and the watch had slipped off his wrist when Lieutenant Bacon threw a line to shore from his ship, HMS Repulse. After two divers failed to find his lost treasure, the young officer gave up on ever seeing it again.
But 67 years later, it turned up on his doormat - still ticking.

World’s most beautiful girls live in Stockholm, Sweden
Traveler’s Digest, a magazine for travelers, has made a list of countries and cities where world’s most beautiful women live.
Sweden with its capital, Stockholm, is the most attractive place to go for male tourists, the authors of the research believe. The abundance of beautiful women in the city gives you an impression as if you have found yourself in a reality show about top models.
In addition, Swedish women are very friendly and well-educated. They speak English with the British accent, so many might take them for British ladies. It is worthy of note that Sweden, as well as other Scandinavian countries, are one of the safest countries in the world for tourists.

utube vs youtube
How does it feel to have the same name as a company that's wildly popular with millions of people? Ask Ralph Girkins of UTube. That's UTube, as in Universal Tube—the heavy equipment refurbishing company outside of Toledo, Ohio. Not the Internet rage YouTube—the Web site millions of people log into every day to watch and post home videos.
Before YouTube, Girkins says, there were about 1,000 real customers visiting utube.com each month. Today, he says, there are about 150,000 people a day typing "u tube" the wrong way, and winding up on his site. Can you imagine their ads revenue potential?

The money rains down
The 100million rupiah, or nearly RM35,000, up for grabs amounts to a fortune in Indonesia. Those who managed to snatch a few notes took home more than they could earn in a month.
The money was dropped by author Tung Desem Waringin as a stunt to promote his book on business motivation. With the cash bundled in bills of 1,000 and 5,000 rupiah (RM0.35 and RM1.70), he set off in the light aircraft to fly over a football stadium in Serang, 40 miles from the capital Jakarta.

The World's Hardest-Working Countries
If you thought you worked long hours, consider 39-year-old Lee from South Korea. A civil servant at the ministry of agriculture and fisheries, Lee gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day, gets dressed and makes a two-hour commute into Seoul to start work at 8:30 a.m. After sitting at a computer for most of the day, Lee typically gets out the door at 9 p.m., or even later.
By the time he gets home, it's just a matter of jumping in the shower and collapsing into bed, before starting the whole routine all over again, about four hours later. This happens six days a week, and throughout almost all of the year, as Lee gets just three days of vacation.

ET, is That You at the Window?
The video footage of what appears to be an extraterrestrial being peeping through the window on an American citizen living in Denver was released recently during a news conference organized by the residents of Denver in an effort to convince people that UFO sightings need to be treated much more seriously.
The video which was allegedly shot in 2003 by a man called Stan Romanek from Colorado, who claims that he had more than 100 alien contacts, including alien abductions. The grainy video shows someone or something approaching the windows of Romanek's house, apparently to get a better view of the interior.
