All I want is a wired LAN adapter that works. I accidentally bought one of the third-party adapters (curse you Best Buy- stocking a knockoff clone in trademark-infringing packaging immediately adjacent to the real Nintendo gear), which worked pretty well for the ten minutes it took to download the update that killed my online access.:-(
You have my sympathy for all the nasty comments you got below.. I don't like listening to music very much at all, and I am treated like some sort of defective when people discover this. I'd rather be able to hear birds, sirens, approaching vehicles, frogs, the wind, the fan on my computer, approaching pedestrians, coworkers trying to talk to me.. whatever. Music is ok sometimes, but I don't see the point of having it everywhere, much less constantly piped directly into one's ear.
What a ridiculous feedback loop. Reading that multiplayerblog interview was like watching two chickens puff themselves up before getting into a territorial squabble, or perhaps two drunks working themselves up to jump some third person who made a joke at their expense..
I don't know about you, but my mother had plenty of free time and a clean house. She did that by making sure her kids knew to pick up after themselves! She got me into computer gaming, actually- I'd sit and take notes for her as she played Legacy of the Ancients on the C64. We spent way more than any 40 hours on that damned game.
Women don't have time or inclination to sit and play games for hours, huh, but they'll watch years worth of senseless daytime TV and can tell you who slept with who and what character is supposed to be dead... sometimes I'm rather ashamed of the group with whom I share chromosomes..
Everything I've heard is that Fark was founded in Nicholasville, Ky, about twenty miles down the road from me, by a guy now living in Fayette county by the name of Drew Curtis. I'd be interested in seeing your sources.
Er. A pillow case in the US is a simple rectangular narrow-end-open bag of fabric which one puts over a pillow. A sham is a non-simple envelope of fabric, which is closed on both the narrow ends and has two panels in the back which overlap by a few inches in the middle.. They usually have ruffles or embroidery or some other decorative nonsense on them.
Oh, by the way, anyone have any favorite, tried and true, game disk restoration tips?:-)
Teaching your kids not to be asses with their property? Really, all you have to do is teach them to put the discs back in the case and voila, no more scratched discs. Refuse to replace or repair the damaged ones and they'll get the idea. It also makes it easier to find the one you're looking for if it's in the right case on the right shelf, not sliding around in a drawer or getting stepped on in front of the TV.
How are you defining minor? 18 year olds are not minors in very many countries and certainly not in the US. I came up with 20.1% using the numbers provided.
I wouldn't think it was creepy meeting someone at the laundromat. Presumably you're there at about the same time every week or every other week, so you're going to meet people that have about the same schedule you do (and wash at least some of their clothes THEMSELVES on a regular basis- which we ladies consider a serious bonus). After you've seen them for a couple of weeks running, they're not total strangers, and you're going to be stuck in the same room for about an hour anyway. You can start a conversation, see how it goes, and you've either made a contact or you know not to bother them next week.
most OCRs for images other than text need to be trained on a sample image. This type of rough, broken terrain makes for really bad sample images- every photo is different. You'd spend more time teaching the computer what wasn't a plane than you'd save using the computer. We use an image recognition automated inspection tool at my workplace to inspect chips for defects and as regular as most of our chip features are, we still haven't gotten it down to a really usable level of false positives.
Right... so that's why nearly every journal specifies its preferred printing layout down to the number of characters in the columns (on top of how many columns) and the maximum size of the diagrams, and if you don't meet those standards precisely you don't get published- you don't even get a note saying why your work was rejected.
There doesn't seem to be a consistent usage, but slightly more often than half the time in the US congressmen are referred to as either senators or representatives. You actually don't hear the term congressman very often in reference to an individual.
embedded resistance heaters, maybe. Or a layer of mylar between layers of spandex material would work for warm, but then you have to deal with cooling.
As far as wounds, I'd think that anything characterized as a gaping wound would pose a more immediate hazard then exposure of said wound to microgravity though perhaps the reinforcing strips could serve as attachment points for light tourniquets.
Non-organic transplant materials end up covered in a layer of cartilage and collagen connective tissues. The body recognizes the implants as foreign, but can't find any antigens to react to in a normal fashion and so it isolates the intruding item from circulation instead. Materials that pass testing for use in implants are those that induce the formation of the smallest possible layer.
Low density, low taxes, and low energy costs. I live in Kentucky; it's primarily rural with a mix of small farmers of various types: cattle grazing (very limited feedlot use), small to medium scale corn and soybean production, an unknown percentage of revenue from marijuana farming, and a surprising number of farmers just grow hay to sell to the cattle farmers. I can't imagine anything less intensive for the soil then growing native grasses and cutting them three times a year for hay bales! Other industries include logging and strip mining for coal- I mention the two together because they usually go together, cut the trees and then strip the coal. The western end of the state has some industrial pork and chicken farms. There is some other industry, a couple of steel mills and chemical plants, an oil refinery, the Toyota plant, a couple of military bases. Lexmark. Tourism is really big- it's a lovely state with great fishing and boating, and of course Mammoth Cave.
I'm not sure what the average tax rate is for residents, I think mine came out to 5% or something like that after refunds last year but I don't have any deductions. The energy is cheap because we don't have to pay to ship the coal very far and when we do it's on river barges.
In my area the dole bagged pre-washed spinach is regularly on sale 2 for $5, and that makes four big salads. Collards and turnip greens (which make for excellent indian curries to go with your rice and beans) are quite cheap- a couple of pounds for three dollars. Baby carrot sticks are commonly 2 for $3 or $4, and that's two pounds of carrots- they're even cheaper if you buy the whole carrots and wash and chop yourself. Green bell peppers are 2 for $1 in the summertime, and can be easily grown in a flower pot on the windowsill. During the summer fresh sweet corn is 12 ears for $3. Squash and eggplant are dirt cheap, too. Green beans are around $2 a pound. All those prices are at Meijer, not the farmers market- if you go to the farmers market you can get even better prices but you have to do the washing and preparation yourself.
I have a CSA subscription, actually, and our problem so far hasn't been squash (the spare zucchini go into bread and cakes), it's been crappy onions. They're too small to do anything with other than throw in a stew and since the boyfriend is vegetarian we don't do a lot of stew.
Perhaps it depends on the area you live in. I'm in a medium sized urban area in a state with a very low cost of living, so perhaps those prices aren't realistic for your location.
Being a competitive business school just means it's better than its business-school peers, not that the program is actually conceptually difficult. Finance does not involve mathematics, I'm afraid- just a lot of arithmetic. Actuaries are probably the only program you mentioned that would use much in the way of anything beyond algebra, since they're primarily statisticians.
This is really cool, but can you ever recapture the amount of energy used to manufacture them? They'd still be better than batteries for a lot of things, though.

Ohio? Hurts. Definitely hurts.
You're thinking the Department of Agriculture, not the FDA.
Holy crap, don't give them ideas! :)
As far as I know there isn't one, not in the stores around here.

ouch. That was bad. :p

Pedantic, I know, but senators are Congressmen. Representatives are also Congressmen. The United States has a bicameral legislature.

I don't suppose you live in eastern Kentucky, do you? Between the Big Sandy power plant and the Ashland oil refinery?
