Charitable Thoughts About Bedbugs from the new standard for random web infographic funnies,
Lunchbreath. Since his last appearance
here, LB has also offered useful lifestyle advice about
Craigslisting,
Home Security,
Maslow's Hierarchy,
Inadequacies,
Designer Portfolios and
Greenwashing, as well as less practical content about
Business Lumberjacks,
Underachieving AT-ATs,
Cow Stomachs and
Moose Lips.
But if you prefer a daily format that resembles a conventional comic strip but contains 3-to-5 times the punchlines, may I recommend
Bug, which has recently covered
Snappy Comebacks,
Thrill-seeking,
Fezes,
Optimism,
Home Security (yes, related to Lunchbreath's piece),
Looting (also semi-related) and
Graverobbing.
OR if you just want some single-panel pop-culture in a distinctive style, say
Hello With Cheese. Now you can't tell me webcomics are totally boring for at least two weeks.

Nature's Control: Hired
Thugs Bugs to police your garden.
"If desired, you can keep ladybug adults from flying by "gluing" their wings shut, temporarily, with a sugar-water solution. Half water and half sugared pop (Coke, Pepsi, etc.), in a spray bottle, works fine."

A third-rate bugging? Did Pennsylvania Republicans plant listening devices to gain an advantage in the next Philadelphia mayoral election? I think they did and in
his words, that's the truth!

Minced words NTK is
reporting that a bug in Yahoo Mail causes inbound email containing script keywords like "eval" to be modified even when they are used innocuously. One result is that any instance of the string "eval" gets changed to "review", even when it's a substring of a larger word.
Note the large number of documents on the web that use the words
medireview (for "medieval"),
reviewuate (for "evaluate"), and
reviewuation (for "evaluation"). Is this entirely the result of the Yahoo Mail issue, or do these transformations occur in other web authoring applications?

Ever since installing the latest version of the Flash Player, I've been having problems with the sound continuing if I exit the movie, or close the browser window, until I completely kill the program by closing ALL open browser windows. Well, the problem has been
formally acknowledged, though Macromedia is being weird about doing something about it.

Bugnosis A web bug detector to find out who's using single-pixel GIFs to relay information to third parties. Distributed by the folks at the
Privacy Foundation.
I've long wanted to have this information without mucking through the HTML source. Now that it's available, I don't know if I really want to know.

This page seems to be over a year old, but it's news to me. Did you know that cookies set on international domains (those ending in generic things like co.uk or co.nz)
can be read by other servers within those top level country domains? Scary stuff if you're using even the latest versions of Netscape on international sites.
