    why not save the money and instead just get some cheap SD cards and fille them with a dump of wikipedia that you encrypted and put in an encrypted container (truecrypt like) and then enabled full disk encryption. For $6 you can get a 16GB micro SD card (includes adapter), or if you wanted to cheap out you could spend $4 for a 4GB one. Just donate those to the TSA and let them sort it out.

    I wonder what the wages bills from those 40 stops would add up to? Would it buy a Mercedes? Two? More?

    No:
    7.25/hr * 40 stops * 4hours per stop=$1160
    Or what is probably around 1-2 months of payments on a Mercedes.

  3. I'd support that action. Although the list would probably double or triple in size in a matter of weeks.

    Probably because if Oregon is anything like Minnesota once a tax has been levied it is never gotten rid of. The tax for the old Metrodome was kept around even after it was paid off and used for something else. The building isn't even around anymore but that tax is.

    All of that shit you buy from China is protected in a similar manner as is anything shipped from Europe. And it isn't an escort but there will be patrol ships out in the more dangerous areas that protect all shipping.

    Sadly, well not really but it was damn funny, I did see placebo drunk while in college.

    Some freshmen were hooping it up a few doors down so I took a peek in to see what was happening, don't want to miss out on a good party. They tell me how drunk they are and that they can't believe the grocery store sold them a bottle of margarita or daiquiri mix without checking their ID. I then pointed out that it is non alcoholic and they begin arguing until one looks at the bottle and realizes that I wasn't lying to them. They then instantly sober up and realize that they weren't being stupid because of alcohol but instead were just stupid.

    I understand you are trying to be cute but getting your joints opened up and aligned does wonders for some people. I find that a good morning stretch (done right it takes 10-15 minutes) work wonders for similar things and from what I can tell isn't all that different from what a chiropractor might do for most people. Then again you have to know how to actually stretch which seems to be the often forgotten thing when most people work out. I seem to be the only person who stretches before and after a work out at the gym I go to.

    Why grind it back to dirt, if it is like streets here in Minnesota just leave them unploughed when there is only a small amount of snow, get the snow and ice packed into the cracks, and nature will turn them into gravel roads in a few years. Hell there are even some out-state maintained roads where maintained means don't expect to hit a large tree growing in the middle, small tree or bush those are fair game, plus there might be hole in the road that you need 4WD to get through because if you are in it the road bed outside of the hole is level with the hood of stock Jeep Cherokee (mid 90s).

    I don't why anyone who wants to tinker with things complains about difficulty of repairs when it comes to fasteners. As you mentioned things like Torx and Pentalobe should be considered standard. It's not like we are talking about some strange fastener here like the old Whitworth ones where the modern replacement seems to be this or this. Besides just consider it an excuse to acquire more tools which is always a good thing.

    I would think it would work to fill the area with CO2 and just asphyxiate the bugs. It isn't like the CO2 would harm the plants. These places seem to be fairly automated so flooding the area every few months would just be part of regular maintenance and make it clear to all employees that this will happen on the last Sunday in every month with only 30 days a 3:00 AM or something like that so that they know not to be there.

    Wow that is a very low bar. I felt somewhat cheated when I took this course at the local technical college as I thought they were going to go really in depth but didn't. Not really knowing much about DB other than the high level stuff and how to write a simple dumb query that pisses off DBAs I did get something out of it but wanted more.

    This sounds not so different from one of the public university systems here in Minnesota. The MNSCU system is comprised of the state colleges (technical and community) that offer various trades and associates degrees and then a number of Universities offering bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees. The credits all transfer easily between one of these schools and another. I have a cousin who took advantage of post secondary program for MN high school students and entered college as junior but ended up getting shipped to Iraq with the national guard for a year. He managed to complete his degree in 2 years once he got back and didn't have to shell out any money for it.

    What we should be doing is filing FOIAs for all data collected on our elected officials. So in this case I should file a FOIA for Representative John Kline, Senator Amy Klobuchar, Senator Al Franken, and President Obama. There would be a legitimate reason for the electorate to know who their elected officials associate with, besides it is just the meta data so no big deal or at least that is what I keep being told. Also there shouldn't be any national security issue with receiving this information as these people aren't terrorists and there shouldn't be an ongoing investigation that would be compromised.
