I'm currently posting from work. I got in trouble for surfing the net earlier this year. I stopped for a while, but I can't seem to stop now. Every day I say that I'm not going to surf. I come to work, finish my work, and then surf. It's not really effecting my productivity other than I could be doing MORE stuff than what is required of me. I am a bit afraid that I'll get in trouble again. But I doubt that my issue is nearly as destructive as alcoholism. My father is an alcoholic and my brother is a gambling addict. I suffer from bipolar disorder. All of these cause more severe problems. The real issue is with addictive personalities, addictive behavior in general. That's what gets people in trouble. It doesn't matter what you are addicted to, too much of anything is bad for you, even sex. My main problem is that my job is boring, and too easy for me. Not much critical thinking involved. Idle hands are the devil's playthings and all that. Anyway, if I get fired, it won't be because of internet addiction, but because of slacking off. Bleh, I'll stop rambling.
"If you really think higher correlation means causation, take a look at venganza.org again. The correlation between the lack of pirates and global warming is approaching 'certainty'. It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that the lack of pirates does not cause global warming. But the correlation is extremely strong."
BLASPHEMER!!!!
May his sauce rain down upon you with great vengeance and you will know his name is the Lord.
As for the income thing, match equates "don't want to answer" with "less than $25k/year".
That makes sense, because if people are actually concerned with money and you list "don't want to answer", then why should they have to waste their time with your profile? Many people have said wading through the crap is part of the problem. It is true that you may have never met your wife if you had listed "dwta" from the start, but that could happen to anyone. Maybe you saw a woman in 2002 while waiting in line somewhere and you were going to start a conversation, but your cell phone rang and you never got a chance to talk to her. That women could have eventually become your wife instead. Now, back to the decision-making process. It's no different than me going onto Match and saying that I'm looking for someone who's Jewish. There's probably a "dwta" for religion and there are probably a lot Jews AND non-Jews that select that. But why should I have to weed through people that could be atheist, Daoist, Christian, Zoroastrians, etc. when I'm looking for someone that fits a certain criteria.
In other news, I also met my wife online, but not through a match service, just through chat rooms and IMs. I was on the other side of the world from her at the time, but out of sheer luck I ended up moving to within 100 miles of her a year later. The online relationship that started as friends grew into a real relationship. We've been married 3.5 years now and have spawned two wonderful future geeks. You don't need to go to one of those services to find what you're looking for. And sometimes you find what you're looking for when you're not actively searching.
Consecutive with the same battery? 5 million minutes = 9.5 years
Ok, let's say they tested a smaller battery with a lower recharge time of say, 30 seconds, that's still almost a year not even counting the time it takes to drain the battery of power. Or am I misinterpreting the meaning of drain?
FM frequencies are merely a collective decision of a bunch of eletromagnetic energy to exist in a cohesive waveform for a period of time, and over a certain distance.
and they take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major...
Yeah, like the Staff Sergeant I heard about when I was in the Marine Corps. Breast implants should not go on a government charge card. I have no idea why she thought she wouldn't get caught. Suffice it to say, she wasn't a SSgt or in the Corps much longer.

DUH. That's why it's funny. I wouldn't have commented if his user ID wasn't so low.

Now all I need is a bag of holding and an Axe Handle +1, +3 versus Web Ragers and I'll be invincible!!!
I've seen this before, too, in the original coke, they should go back to that recipe. It's much more efficient at burning calories.
Yeah, because no one ever gets murdered with a firearm in the UK.

no advertising = end of free media and increase in cost of all media
quick fact: over 50% of the cost of nearly all consumer goods is from marketing
Remember, here in the U.S.A, we have reached a new age where NOBODY is responsible for their own actions. Remember that.
Yes, but... in Soviet Russia, gun shoots you!

Let me get this straight...

That's assuming that there is a difference, of course.
