I'd ask Google what I'd ask Linux: How the Hell am I supposed to run my scanner?

seMissourian.com: Story: Area food pantry volunteer expanding mission to include pets

When a girl in June asked food pantry volunteer Steve Vitale for unfrosted cereal, he was a little puzzled but also dismayed that he was unable to honor the request.

But since the girl and her mother were regular clients, he paid for the unfrosted cereal out of his own pocket and waited for her to ask again. When they returned in August, he was ready, both with the cereal and a question.

...

It turned out, he said, the girl needed food for her dog. And he realized that families who have difficulty feeding themselves have even less money to dedicate to the needs of their pets.

So Vitale, who volunteers at several area food pantries, said he decided to do something, so he's launching Cause 4 Paws with the goal of providing dedicated storage facilities stocked with pet supplies at as many local food pantries as possible...

Matthew The Astrologer: Book Excerpt: Sun In Aquarius

The symbol for Aquarius is The Water Bearer, which is confusing because Aquarius isn't a "water sign,” it's an "air sign”. And when you combine atmosphere and moisture, you get fog. That pretty much describes what the thought processes of a typical Aquarius looks like to an outside observer.

Dear Netflix

I don't own a PS3. I don't want to stream movies to the PS3 I don't own. When I open my Netflix homepage, I don't want to be reminded that I can stream movies to the PS3 I don't own.

What I do want is to see the list of the last few things that I've instantly watched, so that it's easy to find where I've left off watching Xena: Warrior Princess, and so I can quickly get on with the next episode.

Please put my homepage back the way you found it.

I would suggest a PS3 as an appeasement alternative, but I'd rather have either a set of Xena DVDs or a better internet connection.

Kthanx,

Sam

Hmm. I'm not sure whether to see this an another useful tool, or as an avenue for even more competition. Either way, it's a wicked cool idea.
