It's a PITA, isn't it? You have to be imaginative for Xmas presents, and then again a week later ...

Ouch! It should be illegal not to use contraception during March and April: think of the kids!

Piece this one together for no idea on how to plan. Her Mother is the 21-12 and her Dad is 27-12 so they go and put her right in the middle. Bloody Wogs can't do basic maths.

Train them early, forget for the first 5 years in a row and they start doing all the work for you. I have not bought a present (nor received one) in decades, she buys the presents for the kids and threatens me with the job if I dare complain.
We are however going out to a restaurant of her choice tonight though, at her prompting.

I'm with you on this. She just buys her own present. I'm fed up with the number of times presents bought in the past seem to have disappeared on day 3.

I'm glad you don't just do the "Here's your Christmas AND Birthday present!" like I used to get. On the plus side, everyone has a good time on my birthday, New Years Eve.

Replace the scroll bar with "Left" and "Right" buttons that don't autorepeat.

Hmm. No, I'm serious: hmm. Have the user hum, sample the microphone sound input, divvy the frequency range from 80 to 3,400 Hz into 1010-1 intervals, and voila! Easy-peasy.
Best of all, this approach doesn't use any screen real estate.

I was going to suggest this[^], but then I realised I was doing it wrong and corrected to this[^]

I just defined a new measurement unit for digital data: Lb
That is Lunabytes - an insane number of bytes.

It could also stand for a Ludicrous number of bytes.  
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

That breaks the association to Terabytes - often mis-spelled as Terrabytes.

You have something against Earth Bytes? It's a great cereal. High in fiber.

Don't forget ub for Uselessbytes of data.

You're a few centuries too late - "lb" as a unit has already been taken[^].
It will probably be a while before we need anything above the Yottabyte[^]. Maybe we could use "GoB" (Googol[^] bytes), or even "GrB" (Graham's number[^] bytes)?
