What to do, what to do....

.....while I wait the required 10-15 minutes for the lock on my email program to expire after I've been dropped while in the middle of downloading email to Eudora. Again.

In the meantime, I got questions. My LJ-friends have answers. I hope.

If I got DSL or cable-based broadband, would I still get these damn drop-carrier events?

What is the difference between a no-hitter and a perfect game?

Why is a bass clarinet not called a tenor clarinet? In other words, why does the clarinet family not follow the nomenclature of the saxophone family (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass)?

Has Kate Bush released any albums since "The Red Shoes"? (Oh yeah. "Aerial", which is still on my wish list.)

Does anyone still write code in Ada?

Why do I have such great ideas for songs, but only get to write one or two lines of them?

Who moved my cheese?
