I'm sure that's true where human resources allow. Here, it's just me, and I'd rather be doing development than managing the server so I chose the automatic route. It's worked fine until now...and even then the only real damage was the inconvenience of a few hours without email. Moving to the newest server version, I'll probably do the same thing...as if I'll have any real control over it at all...something which I continue to struggle with on WinTen. Actually, I'm just a lot more careful about what I leave (unsaved work) in the afternoons. There was some talk here about it, but I don't think anyone's claimed that victory yet.

I've been seeing the same thing happen with the Farcebook app on my phone. Last week I made a mention of Diablo (the game) at the dinner table and, not 20 minutes later, I was getting an ad on Farcebook for Diablo 3. It's listening to everything. I'm just waiting for it to pick up on an intimate moment between me and the misses and display ads for condoms.
It's a little disconcerting to say the least. I wonder if there is a way you can disconnect Farcebook from the microphone without it knowing and raising a fuss.

The very fact that an UPDATE changes the location of a network is The Real WTF... Wait, wrong site. But still...

So I've read the blog of this lady about an encounter at a gas station.
There was this guy with something resembling a car. He was overcompensating for something with a huge engine, exposed for everybody to see, because the car didn't even have a hood.
She told him he needs therapy, but he misheard and mumbled something about terrorists and then demanded to see her tits ...

Is a pacifist a more violent alternative to a pacifier?

Pacifist - what you would do in the bathroom if you swallowed a hand, whole.
Pacifier - if you dine on scotch bonnets the evening before.
So what's so complicated ?

So, this AM I took my caffeine ingestion to a new level. Along with the second cup (450ml/ea) I made my Oatmeal/Raisin with coffee instead of hot water.
Meanwhile, it's expected to reach 35C in NYC.
Live long and perspire.
[update]
Oatmeal is rich, but a bit more bitter - like well hopped beer. Raisins then embellish the experience with sparks of sweetness.

Water? Not milk, or is it one those mixes with milk powder in it?
I like my morning cereal with milk, cold milk - if it's been out of the fridge more than 10 seconds it's too warm and I switch to toast.
Coffee: strong, black, no sugar, no nothing (incl. whiskey etc) - coffee must never be mixed with anything (except a little water) - if you don't like that taste, time to grow up.

I've always agreed with you. I learned I like 'medium' roasts. I have a friend who blends and roasts his own coffee and believes dark roast ruins the coffee.
I also have a family member that likes dark roasts. He also drinks a lot of milk products in his coffee. After a brief experiment, I realized the milk is to make the ruined coffee palatable.

Nope. Just "Quick Oats" so I can let them "cook" in the bowl of boiling water. Milk? Gag!. Mixes? Fake milk and lots of sugar. GagGag!.
Coffee was directly from a coffee urn.
Overall, the taste seemed to get better as I ate it. No so much on further equilibration, but like eating spicy food. One adapts to the perceived heat and it tastes ever better as it's scarfed down.
