Whether you hate Microsoft with the burning passion of a thousand suns or would trust Microsoft to aid in your surgery you can choose whether to block or unblock the category from your Digg profile by clicking the Profile tab and then going to the Manage Topics Tab, under “Technology” checking/uncheck the box titled “Microsoft”. The same way can be used to block/unblcok the US except it is under “World & Business” section.

On a somewhat-related topic, I heard that in an effort to monitor costs, on every single item or piece of disposable equipment that is used, there is a bar tag that is scannable. The bill to the HMO's is itemized down to each foley, tissue, and wad of gauze that might be used during your stay. While the metrics nut in me thinks that's somewhat fabulous, it is also somewhat horrifying to my universal-health care sensibilities. Cheers Tony. Jimmy that is thoroughly scary news.

It was run by XP and I cannot tell you the number of times it locked up and they had to hard reboot it .. And this is just a supply station, not life support .. Heh Tony,

Can't tell you how many times I've been in the middle of a conference with a client only to get that lovely "program not responding" pop-up somewhere about half way through. Yep.
