Man struck by lightning 7 times over 35 years!
Written by chuck on April 27, 2008 – 12:54 pm -The chances of being struck by lightning are very slim; the chances of being struck by lightning twice (on different days) is seemingly impossible; so what are the odds of being struck by lightning seven times? With our world record holder, Roy Sullivan, the events happened as follows:
1942 – Sullivan was hit for the first time when he was in a lookout tower. The lightning bolt struck him in a leg and he lost a nail on his big toe.
1969 – The second bolt hit him in his truck when he was driving on a mountain road. It knocked him unconscious and burned his eyebrows.
1970 – The third strike burned his left shoulder while in his front yard.
1972 – The next hit happened in a ranger station. The strike set his hair on fire. After that, he began to carry a pitcher of water with him.
1973 – A lightning bolt hit Sullivan on the head, blasted him out of his car, and again set his hair on fire.
1974 – Sullivan was struck by the sixth bolt in a campground, injuring his ankle.
1977 – The seventh and final lightning bolt hit him when he was fishing. Sullivan was hospitalized for burns in his chest and stomach.
His “lightning hats” are on display in New York’s and South Carolina’ s Guinness World Exhibit Hall.

Alternatives to Adobe Acrobat viewer!
Written by chuck on April 27, 2008 – 8:19 am -Thanks to DML an OLS and blog reader for this link!
I used Adobe Acrobat for years, because I was not aware of another viewer program. I just installed Sumatra PDF and it is much faster. I would guess about 10 times faster!

How to Disable the Delete Confirmation in Vista
Written by Ed on April 24, 2008 – 11:00 pm -Even though Vista is only trying to protect you, it asks if you’re sure you want to move that file to the Recycle Bin. Unless you’ve changed the defaults to delete files immediately instead of sending them to the Recycle Bin, you can easily get something back if you do accidentally hit Delete. If you do a lot of deleting, that dialog box can get very tiresome. Here’s how to turn it off:
Right click the Recycle Bin
Select Properties
Uncheck the box that says “display delete confirmation dialog.”
Click OK.
If you don’t like to live dangerously, do not enable the option labeled “Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted.” That combination would make it extremely easy to lose important data by accidentally deleting it.
