you are correct. I keep them in a climate controlled area, but id say 1 out of 10 that I try are corrupt. Its a shame but I just cant bring myself to throw it all away eventhough the truth is they are 100% useless, even if they work in todays world
I still have my old Kaypro's, an '83 IV and a 10, loved them then and love them still today. It was fun running the IV as a terminal to an old 386 running Minx and a highly modified Apache, just for shitz 'n giggles. Anyway...
Oddly, the media included with both the IV and the 10 are all good, and run perfectly. I copy them to floppies (which are getting increasingly very hard to purchase), and after a good while, the floppies start going bad. I took the time to make images of all the media I have, still do when I have time. A spare 250G has thousands of images, hardly any space taken. Then I start to find a floppy I made a couple of years ago has gone to crap and have to start over. Gonna run out of blank floppies, and I'm sure as hell -not- going to use the original floppies for work.
Correlation does not equal causation. Repeat this until you understand it. Darwin weeps to see science misused in this way - although as a Texan, you dumbasses have never understood science anyway.
Thanks, troll. I didn't make the correlation, a good number of oncologists have. They and their associates have seen a lot of it over the years. Diets heavy in smoked and grilled meat do have a correlation with increased chances of colon and intestinal cancers, especially if those diets start early in life.
And I never said *I* was a Texan, thanks for asking. Proud native Floridian. Some might suggest that's not any better, but hey...:)
Oh no! We're all gonna die if we eat BBQ'd meat. As with anything like this, the worry warts will probably buy into it. Remember when they said: Saccharin, DDT, and the zillion of other things that are suppose to be bad for you?
My mother grew up in the deep back woods of east Texas during the 30's. A very big part of her diet growing up was various forms of smoked, dried, and grilled meat. A *lot* of such meat, often that was about all her diet was in a day, either by itself or was the main flavoring component. Many members of her family, both close and extended including herself and both her parents developed and died from colon and intestinal cancers. Her younger brother is suffering from it now. Many of the people who lived around her did, too. The thing is, once her family got out of that situation (improved economy, moving to the big city, etc) and ate a much more varied diet that didn't depend on smoked meat, the amount of familial colon and intestinal cancer has dropped down to almost nothing. That's good news for me and my siblings, of course. Dying from colon cancer is not my favored way of death, to be honest. It was a rough way to see my mom go.
As a graduate research assistant, doing a series of tests ordered by the research professor, in a supposedly inspected fume hood, using glacial acetic acid. Waking up the next morning hacking up pieces of my throat and lungs, and being told to go to the student medical clinic. Being given some antibiotics -I had to pay for myself-. Later seeing the same damn fume hood being used by others weeks later, including myself. No changes or fixes done at all, at any time. Well, at least I got my name on a major research paper, guess it was worth it.
All the safety procedures were determined by the professors in charge, some who cared, most who didn't. Even almost forty years later I can still get an annoying cough, and I still do not go by a fume hood without using the simple test of a sheet of paper held at the fume hood, watching for the tale-tell bend of the paper in the right direction.
I gave up on being a Wikipedia editor a long time ago, what a waste of time trying to be helpful and make the articles better. Even doing a simple edit like "its" for an incorrect "it's" got nasty emails sent to be almost immediately about it, and the edits reverted in no time. All I ever wanted to do was correct minor grammatical and typographical errors, which never would have gotten past an editor in a "real" encyclopedia, and make for better looking articles. The grief I got for it..., well, it wasn't much fun. They want editors, they get them, the editors give up in disgust. It's also why I haven't given them a dime.
Everything2 was what Wikipedia should have been. Much better class of people there.
I never really understood this in the movie. No blood on the ground...
Guess you never read the book, then. Coppola had to leave a lot out from the book, including how this scene got set up. Coppola had to leave so much out, he left enough material for the sequel. Want to know why Woltz was so pissed at Hayden at the dinner? Want to know happened to Sonny's goomah after his death? More about Johnny Fontane's career (and why Sinatra tried to stop the movie's production)? About the doctor who played a very significant part in the book, left completely out in the movie? How Michael found out about Vitelli (who bombed the car)? Why Michael fell for Apollonia so hard? And then why he rekindled a relationship with Kay? Where Neri came from, why he was tied to Michael? Why Don Tommasino was so big a part of the Godfather's life, and why the Godfather was so bothered by Luca Brasi? All that and more...
I will not be incorporating any insects aside from water crustaceans into my diet. They may be nutritious, may be tasty, but the "yuck" factor is simply too great to overcome.
Maybe I could if they were processed, but surely someone will make a big deal about the loss of nutrition with processes insect products.
and from the Wiki bee article, seem to live rather similar lives:
"For the first 10 days of their lives, the female worker bees clean the hive and feed the larvae. After this, they begin building comb cells. On days 16 through 20, a worker receives nectar and pollen from older workers and stores it. After the 20th day, a worker leaves the hive and spends the remainder of its life as a forager."
Most of the other related general in the bee/ant world also lead similar lives. So I wonder what the researchers were expecting.
Not sure if I should be glad or ashamed: I also have the entire MSVC 1.5 doc set, along with the full MASM 6.1 doc set, in a bookshelf behind me. Yes, it's two full shelves of old dead trees. Haven't touched those book since '96, but there they still are. And both you and I have 5-digit UIDs. The rest of you: get the hell off my lawn, dammit!
I like Sobell's books, I have a number of his and Kochan's book going back years. Always very well-written books. But for 1200 pages, I'll wait for the PDF.
I've been using Google a long time, back even when it was nothing but a web search engine. When Google Mail first came out in its not so public form years ago, I managed to wrangle an invite from a friend of a friend, and I have happily used and enjoyed almost all the Google apps that have come out since. I log in to Google several times a day, constantly use Books, Earth, Maps, Docs, Blogger, and will miss Health big time. Chrome is my default browser. Google knows, or must know, how much I love their apps, I use them every day.
So,.... where's my Google+ invite? Five, 10, 20 million people have already been invited and joined up, even a bunch of them now banned. Seems like a lot of celebs were given one. Even invites given to their competitors. A lot of you have been given invites, and many of you don't even use or like Google. Hate them, even. But you got one. I don't want one of yours, I want an invite from Google, where I should be getting one from. But what am I offered? This https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googleplus site for to sign up for only news about when Google+ may soon be ready, and maybe some day, just maybe someone within Google will condescend to pass along an invite to a poor unknown long time Google user, maybe after about half the fricking world have already been given an invite. No one I know has an invite, no one they know has an invite, either. Just where are all these invites coming from?
Thanks, Google, for the consideration after all the love and support I've given you all these years. >:-(
"NPCs were all created from a few generic templates. Their portraits and voices seemed to have been randomly selected. In most cases, the few stock voice-snippets had absolutely no relation to what an NPC was supposed to be saying..."
Not that WoW has any of those problems. Say, like certain Scarlet Crusade NPCs at Light's Hope Chapel, whose text statements indicate their hatred of your toon, yet if you click on them, they voice things like, "Do ya...need help?" or "Have a nice day!".
What's so interesting to me about OBL and his terrorism is that even before 9/11, we had our current president Bush telling us that terrorism is bad because their actions make us change the way we live our lives, to live in fear, and not be free to act American. If these things happen, then the terrorists win.
And since 9/11, we Americans have had our lives changed, to live in fear, and not act as Americans. But OBL didn't do this, Bush and his cohorts did in so many changes in our root American culture.
Didn't Einstein have a daughter from his first marriage that basically disappeared, and whom nobody really knows what happened to her? I always found it curious that such a smart man could also have such a lousy private life.

Weird. It previewed the three kanji, but on submission it won't display them.
For some reason it won't let me type mt. Fuji in kanji.

So, either MSSE misses over a third of malware, or use Norton and your computer turns into a zombie with the performance of a 486 running WfWG...
Hmm, tough choice there.
Well played, friend, well played! :)

it's a contraction of you would have, the correct spelling is you'd've.
Just don't try pronouncing all those letters in Texas English. It comes out sounding a lot like "yoow-da".
Actually trying to say "yoo-d'uv" makes my tongue all tied up.

Now that would be impressive!
