What use of time zones anyway? I live nearly 42° N. According to the encyclopedias the earth is ~40000km around equator. That means ~29322km at this latitude, so on every ~1222km east/west the sunset/sunrise differs by one hour and on every ~20km by one minute. And the sunset/sunrise is the only thing that matters in measuring the time.

A (now defunct) website on website security did that, as well as passing the username and password through the URL, in plain text. After seeing those two things, I left the site and didn't go back (I also clicked the delete button on the account).

A manager is having a trip in a balloon. Not very used to navigation, at some point he finds himself lost and releases some ballast to get closer to the ground.
On the ground below him there is a man, staring at the balloon. When the manager gets within earshot of the man, he shouts:
"Do you know where I am?
The man on the ground replies:
- Yes, you are in a balloon, at approximately fourty feet above the ground, and you are actually heading north-north west at a rather moderate speed.
The manager replies:
- You must be an IT engineer, aren't you?
- Yes, you're right! How did you figure it out?
- Because what you told me is technically and syntaxically correct, but unfortunately of no use to me.
- You must be a manager, aren't you?
- Yes! How did you find it out?
- You are in an equipment you don't know anything of, and yet managed to get here. But now you don't know where you are, and you don't know where to go. You are in the exact same situation than before meeting me, but now it is my fault."

Well, sorry, I searched for manager + balloon and engineer + ballon in the Lounge, and did not get any result.
My bad.

Search engine on Codeproject is not so good, better to use google as I'd recommend to do it with "site:codeproject.com"

An engineer goes into his manager’s office. The manager is holding something in his fingers.
“What do you have there?” says the engineer.
“Something that looks like plastic, but feels more like rubber,” says the manager. “Let me have a look,” says the engineer. The manager hands it to him.
The engineer says, “Hmmm. This is interesting. It’s sort of solid, but sort of viscous too. Where’d you get it?”
The manager says, “Out of my nose.”
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

As you may remember, we had a couple of powercuts on Tuesday that took out a HDD on my NAS (all fixed, and files rebuilt now).
Well, a week ago, we had a letter saying there would be an interruption to the supply last Thursday between 6:15 AM and 6:30PM - or that's how I read it, and what I planned for. Turns out my wife is better at reading that me, as she spotted it was 6:15AM to 6:30AM - which is a pretty big difference.
Anyway, the Postman has just been and we have another letter, about another interruption to service, this time next Thursday.
Now, I've read this, re-reading it, and checked it again. And it definitely says "between 6:00AM and 6:01AM". 
I don't know what they are going to do in sixty seconds, but I'll stock up with batteries, just in case!

I could be a grammar Nazi, but I will leave that role to someone else.
Here's a hint: There, Their. They're not the same.

At least you're not a electrician that shuts down the power for 1 minute. 
There as in over there
Their as in a group
They're as in They are
Something like that?
