a third degree burn involves charring of the skin. This is very difficult to do with what is essentially liquid water.
You're probably right. The skin grafts on the inside of my thigh were only needed for psychosomatic reasons.
By your argument, someone who gets into an accident while talking on the phone and driving should be able to sue the cell phone manufacturer or their cellular provider because its known that this is dangerous behavior.
You're right again. Also, everyone should have an innate sense that if they turn on the heated seat before sitting on it, it will permanently scar their back and legs.
BTW, McDonalds serves their coffee at 180 degrees F because PEOPLE LIKE IT THAT HOT. Duh.
Right again. I don't go to a fast food resturaunt because I want something fast. I go because it's important that I find some down time while I'm waiting for my food to cool.
All you need is available with powerbuilder. Quick, easy reports, connect to most databases, use standard or 'enhanced' SQL inline, and you can compile it to native code for Windows or Unix. Easy language; main thing is learning what not to do in powerbuilder. kinda quirky. Maybe the latest is better. Not a plug by any means, but Access is nasty. My experience with it is when they need to port apps to a more robust, less buggy environment.
I don't believe there are editors anymore. Have you seen the bloated novels being published in the last 15 years or so? And it seems to be getting worse. My primary evidence? Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I've decided to wait and see if he ever finishes it before I bother buying and reading anymore of this series.
When you're right, you're right. OTOH - Not that there aren't thick liberals, but Russ Smith over at WSJ is so thick, he makes the great wall of China look like dental floss.
The Boomerang nebula was named by astronomers at the Anglo-Australian telescope, whose weaker resolution suggested a boomerang shape. Yes. I read that in the article. I will continue to make jokes, for better or worse, regardless of the predictably pedantic responses that are inevitible here at/..
Doesn't look like a boomerang. Looks like a bowtie, though if you squint a bit you can get a bat or a butterfly.
Seems like the perfect place to store beer though.
<sarcasm type=dry target=Bush>No. Actually Saddam is on the verge of creating an anti-matter device capable of destroying a large city. We cannot rely on him to be reasonable. He will try to destroy Butte, Montana. We have undeniable empiratical evidence. </sarcasm>
Ok. so it was at -43.06 then rose 54.75. the 57 percent was based on the price of the dvdplayer that the reporter purchased earlier in the day. That's one hell of a comeback after tanking so badly. Good thing they weren't delisted.
Having quit three weeks ago after roughly 25 years of smoking, I can say these are a great idea. Nicotine is like little men with power tools that live inside you. The nicotine makes them go to sleep. Without it, they fire up their various tools and annoy the shit out of you. I've been told I will live with these little assholes for up to two years, and even then they will likely visit occasionally. So, how do nicotine-free smokes help. They mean I don't have to quit drinking too. I think you know what I mean. After all, how many non-smokers have you seen light up after a tipping a few.
My impression is that MS reneged on a contract, and they are being forced to hold up their end. Regardless, we always need to consider that MacroSlab has been ruled a monopoly; this means they have special rules applied to them. I don't believe this sets precedent for anything except monopolies. We won't see Symantec forced to include links to Network Associates in their install (bad example, I'm wingin' it here). MS decided a long time ago that a large part of their strategy would involve litigation. Live by the sword and all that... They could have chosen a less belligerent stance early on and avoided most of this. Sure others would still be picking at them constantly to try to erode market share, but they wouldn't have had all this marvelous ammunition. cest la vi, cest la guerre, cest la pompataire. (don't actually speak French, but it should be passable phonetically.)
Damn! Not only was the first joke that popped into my head taken, but so were the second and third. Hmm. Do I gripe about how to keep up with people who seem to have unlimited time to read/.. Naw; my day will come.
I'd make a resolution to tithe 10%, but I don't do resolutions; and 10% of nothing is...
Feel free to correct me. I believe it is Italian and means 'top'. With the Godfather movies, the Sopranos, and all the other Italian mobster stuff, you hear it all the the time.
Now I know how my dad felt. I understand wanting a video hookup to see the person you are talking to, but bikini girls on a 1.2 inch screen??? My dad described to me the first time he saw a kitchen garbage disposer. He thought to himself, "why would anyone want to put garbage in their kitchen sink?" Damn I'm getting old.
do we really need the roto-rooter guy taking out our broadband connection? Speaking as a guy who was a plumber for ten years, I guarantee some guy with a drain snake will be cutting these on a regular basis. When you have 200 feet of snake and the run from the toilet to the curb is 100 feet blades won't know the difference between fibre lines and fibrous roots. Unless they can affix these lines to the uppermost part of the pipe, and they only use the large trunks, they are going to have problems.
But really, let's admit to it, the creativeness required to think up faking an error screen to get users to click on it (think reaction vs. action) is genius Nothing personal, but I've never understood this logic. I'll take the short end of long odds that someone thought of this and dismissed it. If not because they would feel like an asshole then because it would be likely to piss off potential customers (generally considered a Bad Thing). Regardless, I'd call it ballsy, but not genius.
Way too many people think P2P access is an inalienable right...If people could use P2P on my network and not decrease my bandwidth to about 10K, then I'd allow it.
You're point is well taken. Yet I see the issue as less of a right than simple empowerment. P2P allows for the rapid dissemination of information, (and a whole lot of garbage, admittedly) in a cheap, easy way. Blocking uploads will create more leeches and make the ones who share easier to identify. This plays right into the 'Powers Who Be' agendas. I see the solution of removing the flat fee for bandwidth as the best alternative. Those who use, pay. Leeches would likely be blocked, so if they want to participate... Yes, I changed the subject: you're comment felt like a natural segue.
Hey. I certainly don't have the 8 months it takes to get a character up to snuff in some massive multiverse. Especially when I'm competing against the people (read 'kids who have 12 hours a day to devote to the game and learn all the hacks and exploits that are needed to get the good stuff') for access to all the silly quests needed. I know the first fifteen levels of Evercrack got boring fast. Pay a little extra to play with the people who know what they're doing and avoid the tedious little stuff? Sure! Of course this means more weanies that don't know what they are about clogging up the servers, but you can't have everything.
"It's very frustrating," said Paul Gelsinger, who became a member of the committee after his son, Jesse, died in a Pennsylvania gene therapy experiment that was later found to have broken basic safety rules.

but stores probably wouldn't bother buying product from you if you tried to tell them what to charge.
