If all you are hiding from is grunt level TSA then just rename your encrypted data as graduation2008.mpg . Who would be suspicious if wma reported the file unplayable, it does that 20% of the time anyway? Just be sure VLC isn't installed, that failure might create suspicion.
I turned 57 this week. Probably why I am having trouble with my Gentoo install. I installed ext2 on hda3 but when I pass that to grub it can't find the drive. If I tell grub to boot from sda3 (which does not exist), it finds the drive but insists there is no fs installed. Getting old sucks.
I think this is the best analogy I have heard, with the glass standing in for the recording medium. And yea, we often settle for a lower quality because it is good enough for our purpose.
Actually there is no money available to magically appear. I spent it on another HD, some RAM and am saving up for a big NAS. Probably get a bigger monitor soon too.
You forgot the standard units of weight, the elephant and the 747, and the standard volume in Olympic swimming pools. Heights are often in Washington Monuments and Empire State Buildings.
If you honestly believe saving energy is so very essential the correct approach is to convince people you are right. The wrong approach is arrogantly forcing people to do what you thing is best despite their own evaluations.
The fundamental role of government is to enable people to interact by initiating violence against those that try to practice assault, coercion or fraud. Using the government to initiate violence to enforce social convention is evil, as we see around us every day. Your promoting it doesn't help anybody and only proves your ignorance. And there is no such thing as collective choice, only individual choice. There is however collective coercion.
You do realize the vendor pays those rewards? They view it as an opportunity fee, but some merchants won't accept rewards cards because they can't afford it.
Almost every town has a restaurant supply store. They sell to anyone and you can get good quality stuff cheap. Le Creuset is nice when you can afford it but you can get by for a lot less.
I agree. As a geek,engineer, and home cook, I am obsessive about weighing things. I know I don't need to be that precise, but if I can then why not? I doubt my family even knows their portions are exact to 1/10 of an oz. I could use grams, but why be pedantic;-)
Damn, I had forgotten I was that old. I was just out of basic training at Ft.Dix and just arrived at Ft Campbell and the last airborne Brigade in the 101st. The speed limit didn't impact my car-less existence much but I remember he also repealed return to standard time that year. I don't remember state loopholes though, but I didn't travel much then.
The Sam Vimes "Boots" Theory of Economic Injustice runs thus:
At the time of Men at Arms, Samuel Vimes earnt thirty-eight dollars a month as a Captain of the Watch, plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots, the sort that would last years and years, cost fifty dollars. This was beyond his pocket and the most he, Vimes, could hope for was an affordable pair of boots costing ten dollars, which might with luck last a year or so before he, Vimes, would need to resort to makeshift cardboard insoles so as to prolong the moment of shelling out another ten dollars.
Therefore over a period of ten years, he, Vimes, might have paid out a hundred dollars on boots, twice as much as the man who could afford fifty dollars up front ten years before. And he would still have wet feet.
Most of the western highways, and many of the secondary roads, were designed for and allowed 75-85 mph. During the 2nd oil embargo Carter (or was it LBJ?) reduced the speed limit nationally to 55mph to "conserve fuel". He did that by threatening to withhold matching highway maintenance funds from states if they wouldn't comply. That was in effect for about 20 years. During that time the states reduced their maintenance standards to reflect the lower speed limits. As far as I can see, they have maintained those lower standards even though the ridiculously low limit has been rescinded.
Um.. I have lived in the Chicago area. Let me fix that for you:
The limit is 55 and about 10% will not exceed 55, although most people drive 75-85 some do 90+. It can be unsafe to do 70 when others are doing 80-90. It is insane to do 55 but that doesn't stop them. I assume they are the ones pissed off because they got a ticket doing 57, which is quite common in the area.

Peasant. Try some Blantons.

Spoken like a true thug.
So basically I should save it in case you need it later.
Do CAFE standards apply to tanks and jets?

Damn right!
And just remember that our 2x4s are 1 3/4 x 3 1/2, but still exactly 6 or 8 ft. long.
Don't get me started on plywood thickness.

There is no way a black market in prepaid sims could develop. Follow the money.
I thought it was a tie-in to the "Heavy drinkers live longer" story.
Have them breadboard up an 8 bit microprocessor with toggle switch inputs and led outputs. Then show them how to program it.
And some like Rumsfeld only survive by staying there.
