A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Very cool.  Thanks for posting that, bedlamite.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

That was really neat.  Thank you !  Must have been a lot of work to find the exact locations nowadays.

That's neat. I wish the pictures weren't quite so big, as I can't get them all on my monitor.

Some of them are quite amazing at how little has changed.

^ Control-plus and control-minus.  Try that. (Win7.)

I also accidentally found a widget or whatever you call it which sits at the bottom of my screen and allows you to select from 50% to 400%, and "Custom."  Darned if I know where it came from, but I use that frequently to adjust between easy reading and shrinking big pics without using the keyboard.

The trouble is the way they set up the Win7 Control Panel it's almost impossible to find stuff like that without knowing in advance where it is and what "they" call it.

Neat hot key feature...

I opened the pictures, started tapping the CTRL - and it told me that I was reducing the size of things...

But the picture stayed exactly the same. HUGE.

Never seen that one before.
