  This is really cool. Now Microsoft just need to make sure they update Bing Maps. It is embarrassing that when in Dublin, I search for O'Connel Street in my WP7 and I am taken to somewhere in Nebraska. Had to install a gMap app to be able to get around here. Tsk, tsk 

  That's funny. When I do a Bing Maps search on "O'Connel [sic] Street", I get taken right to Dublin. "O'Connell Street" also takes me to Dublin. I when I do a search on "O'Connell Street Nebraska", I get taken to "NE Oconnell Rd, Cameron, MO". Maybe you're on a different version of Bing Maps than everybody else because there doesn't seem to be any "O'Connel Street" or "O'Connell Street" in the state of Nebraska on the version of Bing Maps that I'm using.

  I guess when you're in the checkout line, you should always let Paul cut in front of you.

  BTW, here is a story about some kids that won a scholarship for $100K (split between the two) for their project using Kinect to analyze human gait.

  However, the big story is the young woman who won the individual $100K prize for her project involving nanotechnology for the cure of cancer. Big whoop, huh?

  I used "whacked" has a double entendre. The first meaning was in the Whitney Houston-Diane Sawyer-interview sense or something being "out of whack". The second meaning, when I said "de-whacked", was a reference to "whack" as a synonym for "slash". IOW, the URL was "whacked" because it was missing a "whack".

  BTW, LOL @ Bob's indignation at being nitpicked about the error.

  Paul's Facebook URL was whacked. Or I should say it was de-whacked. He's now going to get even fewer followers than he did on Twitter.

  @Sergio_TheOne: I've watched some videos with Finnish speakers who pronounce it "KNOW-key-yah", which seems to be the most common pronunciation in the US.

  Ballmer happens to be one of the few Merkans to pronounce it "NAH-key-yah".

  Base 4? Yo Dawg, it was hexadecimal! You see only 3s, 1s, and 0s because of what it converted from. Just because you can use other numbers and letters in hex doesn't mean that you have to. 

  Paul, I thought that you'd have enough intellectual curiousity to try to figure out my message. How disappointing!

  LOL @ Dan peeing his pants.

  And did HR not do a background check before hiring the new girl?
