Removing Skype Call Link


How annoying that by default Skype makes all 10 digit numbers in browsers into hyperlinks with skype/call icons - even ones that aren't phone numbers, like purchase order #'s in reports.  Especially if you don't use Skype Out much.

Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Manage Add Ons -> Disable the Skype ones

But hey, I love skype, and for free I take what I can get.

Coal Power is Better Than Oil


"To top it all, using electricity generated in large part by coal to power our passenger cars would lower carbon emissions -- even in Indiana, which generates 75 percent of its electricity with coal. Big power plants are so much more efficient than the gasoline engines in our cars that a plug-in hybrid car running on electricity supplied by Indiana's current grid still ends up more carbon-frugal than comparable cars burning gasoline in a conventional engine under the hood. Old-guard energy types have been saying this for decades. In a major report released last March, the World Wildlife Fund finally concluded that they were right all along."
