I understand that if you're not from around here, you may not understand how culturally important alcoholism is to us, but that doesn't validate your lifestyle over mine.
I reject your statement that "8 hours is entirely too long to spend in a bar". This is a purely subjective claim; perhaps 8 hours is too long for you, but around here, that's SNAFU.
DD's get free sodas around here. Not really hurting the bars, since almost everyone drives drunk.
Clubs aren't for drinking (they're for socializing). Clubs charge a premium on the drinks for the ambience and collection of like minded, often attractive, people. Bars are for drinking.
Better chance of this working on Thompson than Doyle. Good luck.

What, you want people to perform a song and dance for it? Sell it at subsidized rates?
Really, Coward, how much conscience does it take to say "Gee, we've been to the moon, we've sent probes into deep space, we've remotely explored Mars, let's maybe see what we can learn by not having kids starve to death."
Maybe quadrotriticale would be a better foodstuff, but rice is pretty ubiquitous at the moment.

You know, NASA's budget request for 2010 is $10.1 billion for space stuff ("Space Operations" and "Exploration", by my read - see page 4).
The world could probably be a better place by spending a billion of that (like, oh, 10%) on rice and handing it out in Africa, and exploring space just a little slower.
(Note to people who are calculating that that's only a million tons of rice, and that won't go real far across a billion people for a year - it's a start, and the people who survive another year probably won't mind not dying.)
All the blind people I know go to movie theaters. The sound systems in there are amazing. Common complaint is that things are too loud, but the overall experience is worth it.
Why wouldn't you want to be number one in obscene searches? Perhaps it's time to redefine "obscene" to better reflect contemporary community standards - if people don't get so disproportionately excited about butts and boobies (butts - everyone has one!), and just accept it as natural to appreciate the images which portray juxtaposed human bodies, the world - and Kentucky - will be a happier place.
For lemons, limes, and oranges - fruits where the skin is used as a garnish - I'd prefer to stick with stickers. I can remove a sticker, but I can't un-etch the skin, and I may not be able to cut around it for a pretty orange twist in my cosmopolitan.
This only works if the drive is still functional, and it is connected to a computer.
For those "we don't know what was on the drive, but we know we pulled it from a possibly sensitive machine" moments, mechanical destruction is a good choice.
After throwing them 20 feet in the air (repeatedly) and watching them bounce, I realized that the platters still hadn't shattered - darn, they must be aluminum. (Deskstars are easy to destroy like this. They make pretty sounds with all the tinkling platterparts inside - like a rainstick.)
So I took them into the tool shop, cut about halfway through them with a chop saw (glorified angle grinder), then clamped them into the vise, and struck them with a hammer.
The result is that the cast aluminum chassis of the drive is cracked in two, and the platter (old, low capacity drives with a single platter) has a big notch cut out of it, and the rest of it is hopelessly warped.
Yes, these were with disks with errors. DBAN no effect.

Bring on the $1 shots.
$5 drink + $1 tip = $6... or 2 drinks an hour for 8 hours, which is just about how things go for me.
Yes, this is Wisconsin.

Yeah, but 8.10 isn't that old; "extinct" is hardly the right term.

Where are you going to meet a woman, much less work up the courage to get rejected by her?

Touché. Lenovo...
You heard it here first: Ubuntu IBMs unavailable in 10 weeks, timed conveniently with new promotional pricing on Windows 7 on IBM hardware...
Yeah. And CRTs have high voltages involved (30kV-ish). LCD's with certain types of backlights do, too (but less high - 1kV-ish).
omg i'm so surprised

Girlfriends may be cute, but ideally they're not terribly furry. Unless you're into that. I'm not.

I just destroyed two drives yesterday.

You enjoyed a significant change in your professional standing by being the author of a very small, very expensive book.
How would giving away a webpage or PDF help you?

EULA rolled. Bah!
There are LOTS of dumb questions.
