@Tsaukpaetra Enjoy getting a new right axle. That's my layman's random guess.
Actually, I think that's something I could do with my Dad's help.

Hardware/BIOS limitation, not OS. Windows can see it's there, it just can't do anything with it without a special driver that allows the computer to pretend it's another device.
Buy super cheap 32GB SSD. Install Windows there. Format existing disk as GPT. Boot Windows, open disk manager, and select "Convert to dynamic disk" for both disks. Now extend main partition to fit the two disks.
As I understand it, this should work.

Had I realized I'd run into this limitation at the time, that would've helped. As is, I'll just wait till I have a new desktop.
Think I'll bookmark that for after, though - if I can finagle enough disk into/onto it (it might only have two internal SATA connectors and/or disk drive slots) it might become a home media/data server.

pyjs is a Rich Internet Application (RIA) Development Platform for both Web and Desktop. With pyjs you can write your JavaScript-powered web applications entirely in Python.
pyjs contains a Python-to-JavaScript compiler, an AJAX framework and a Widget Set API. pyjs started life as a Python port of Google Web Toolkit, the Java-to-JavaScript compiler.

You're doing "taking today off work" wrong. If you're not working you're not checking your work email.

With a high enough velocity, after 13 minutes you can ORBIT for a (probably longish) while after that.

@Dreikin But isn't the greek letter naming scheme independent of name-ish names?
Like alpha Ursae Minoris being a perfectly acceptable alternate name for Polaris or alpha Orionis being an accepted alternate name for Betelgeuse?

Sort of? It's got a new official designation, but they can't really outlaw alternative ones or anything.

So... when I ordered a double espresso earlier today, I was asked if I didn't instead want to go for a tripple espresso for only €.5 more.
Now, this raises a number of questions with quite far reaching implications. First, can I add another €.5 (i.e., €1) for a quadruple espresso? Or €1.5 for a pentaspresso? €2 for a hexpresso? €2.5 for a heptaspresso? Where does it end? Second, did I really still look that under the weather at ~10:00 that a double espresso didn't seem like enough to the girl at the counter?
I shall now ponder on these questions while I take a nap.

Status: one of my coworkers won a company charity bid or something like that. After the announcement (sent to the All Employees DL), he replied with a little quip that just after coughing up the cash, his car insurance paid him, and that karma works, etc, etc. That, of course, also went to the All Employees DL.
My other coworker, who's a bit more down-to-earth, sent off an e-mail making fun of the superstitions, and chastising the other guy for spamming the DL. Of course, he also used Reply All.
That spawned an all-out flamewar - some defending the bid winner, some agreeing, some getting pissed at spam, some sending popcorn gifs. Most of that, of course, landing on the All Employees list.
I'm proud of my company *sob*
