a note about coolstop...

...as it now appears on the main page:
08/24/10 - Changes:

The latest phase of coolstop has reached its endpoint. Though the site will no longer be updated with new content for the time being, we'll continue to maintain the archives (while considering possible new directions for coolstop).

Sometime soon, additional randomly-generated favorites will be presented on the main page so each visit to coolstop will deliver a unique assortment of goodness from its history – there's many gems in the collection definitely worth sharing on an ongoing basis.

Thank you.

New trojan virus Zeus v3 empties online bank accounts
How to protect yourself from trojans when banking online
  • Make sure your anti-virus software is up to date.
  • Keep firewalls set to the highest level.
  • Never open an e-mail attachment from someone you don't know.
  • Never double-click on an e-mail attachment that ends in .exe. It is an 'executable' file and can do what it likes in your system.
  • If you think your machine has already been infected, contact your bank immediately. If the bank thinks you are a genuine victim of fraud it will reimburse you.

be 'Proactively Nice'

Operation NICE

Don't you love it when people go out of their way to be nice? Like when someone waits to hold the door for you. Or when a stranger waves you into a line a traffic. Or even when a coworker shoots you a friendly smile along with a "have a nice day." If everyone was a little bit nicer to the folks they encountered each day, perhaps the world would be a more pleasant place. Operation NICE was initiated to remind you that a little NICE goes a long way.

Fair Go For Billionaires

It's tough times. The rising cost of mansion maintenance. The exorbitant price of Lamborghini tires. The unenthusiasm of minimum wage help. For your average, everyday mining billionaire it hasn't been easy...
