For example: this site converts this 'http://ubergeek316.blogger.com/',

Video Games for Excel
Play two classic video games (Pac-Man & Space Invaders) within Microsoft Excel (97 and 2000). These games look and sound like the real games.
The web site that hosts the links is written half in Japanese and other half in English, so the site's contents is little criptic.
To download the game directory, use the links below:
- PACELMAN (Pac-Man)
- CELLVADER (Space Invaders)

When Political Correctness Goes Too Far
I first need state that I agree with general principals of the Political Correctness (PC) movement. I believe that we should respect other people's ethnic, cultural, religious, etc.. (aka differences). Although, the real question is should we embrace other people's differences? The answer is no; should we respect them, but within the limits society, cultural, and the law.
The problem with anything PC is that there are extremist in these groups that take it way too far. For example the following article on CNN entitled: "'Master' and 'slave' computer labels unacceptable, officials say". I respect that these labels can be offensive to certain groups if taken out of context, but I think that this is getting just too anal retentive.
You might as well write Merriam-Webster, and request that they remove these terms from the English dictionary. Maybe we should also stop referring to plugs and connectors in the context of male and female, because it might make teenagers want to have more sex!
There are a lot bigger problems in this world that need to be solved first, like: starving, suffering people who need our help. Let's fix these issues first, then let's worry about other much smaller issues.
