  1. Isn’t it odd that, after battling Microsoft for anti-trust violations, the Feds have turned around and given it a monopoly over browser access<\/a> to things like US Customs?  “To access the ACE Secure Data Portal you need a high-speed internet connection and Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. Please note that the ACE Portal does not function properly with Mozilla Firefox.”  <\/em>Actually, I’m pretty sure it’s not a conspiracy, just lazy development or shoddy procurement practices.<\/li>\n
  2. Did pirates really say “Arrr?”<\/a> Sadly, not really. (Which, of course, reminds me of the old joke, “What are the two letters of the Pirate Alphabet? ‘I’ and ‘R’ …”)<\/li>\n
  3. Someone with time on their hands has an entire site devoted to looking at time travel in movies<\/a>.  Which is … really cool.  I need to spend way too much time going through this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
