It was just too easy to not do it... Maybe I should hide all these pictures when she turns 14 or she will disown me...

One of the nicer features I found in the IE toolbar is the ability to clear all session cookies. In EWA (the Honest-to-god zero-footprint-no-activeX-behind-the-scenes-we-swear Excel Web Access component) we use session cookies to remember what session...

You know what a collapsible window is – it’s usually used to show advanced features or to show extra information about an error. Two examples: When the error dialog opens, it shows only the basic information so as not to scare the user: ...

Generally speaking, English is much richer than Hebrew*. The number of words in English has been recently pegged at just under 1,000,000 (1 million) words - this includes "double counting" words such as dog - where, at the very least it can be a noun...
