Since I've already had the damn thing! I caught it from a friend who brough it back from Toronto about two years ago.
It felt just like a case of the common cold, but I'm also in a low risk category. (No resp. problems, good immune system, greater 20 years old and less than 50.)
The heat from the CPU, Hard Drive, and power supply will probably keep it above freezing, but if you have a power failure, you'll want to get it inside the house to warm it up before attempting a restart.
Spinning up a frozen hard drive is a great way to cause data loss.
That's not quite right. Both creation stories cover the creation of the world. Both cover the creation of humanity. (In the first, found in Genesis 1:1 and ending in 2:2, men and women were created at the same time, both in God's image. In the second, starting in Gen. 2:3 and ending in 3:24, Man (Adam) was created first.) Versions of each story of the creation also occur in other Middle Eastern historical documents, such as those found in Mesopotamia and the Arabian peninsula. Both appear to predate written history, and were probably both included when Genesis was first written down because they both tell us something different about the nature of God.
The idea of two discreet creation stories is commonly accepted in modern Christian theology. It's taught as part of the United Methodist Church's core Bible curriculum (Disciple I) and is discussed at most seminaries. It's not a problem for my faith in God or in Christ, and I don't see why it should be such a problem for yours.
We really can't be sure until we get a chance to interview the original author. Unfortunately, due to various logistical and metaphysical issues, that won't be posted here.
My pastor had an even simpler answer: In Biblical times, the elders of the family were revered. Anyone who did great deeds or had a special place in the family's history were assigned extra years when their story was told. It was a mark of the respect those figures had.
TFA talks about maintaining quality of life instead of simply extending it. The proposed therapies help retard the aging process and also repair the damage it causes. As a result, you could theoretically live for a thousand years and still be physically thirty.
I have said on a number of occasions that I'd love to live to 110, as long as I can keep enjoying life. If I could live to 1010 and enjoy life the entire time, so much the better!
Anyone interested in this might want to take a look at Holy Fire. It's a speculative work about the impact that an aging population and an emphasis on life extension could have on society. In the future depicted in the book, most wealth and power is concentrated with the very old, leaving the young in society marginalized with very little upward mobility.
The main character is a very old woman who undergoes a radical experimental treatment which leaves her with a physical age in her early twenties, and essentially has to start over. A very interesting look at the direction we could be headed.
There was about the same turnover in the Clinton cabinet. He also went through four commerce secretaries, and had a number of resignations during his first term.
In this context, the "Time" mentioned can refer to a period of time. In other words, it could be interpreted as some week where all the state legislatures meet to appoint electors, or during which the people of a state choose through popular election. The "Day" references a specific date. This is actually the way it's set up, with all the states' electors meeting in their respective capitals to cast their votes on the same day. (I want to say it's Dec. 6, but I'll need to check.)
Also, there was a Supreme Court case about three or four years ago where early voting in Texas was challenged on the above grounds, and on the grounds that the Constitution dictates the date for general elections (The first Tuesday after the First Monday in November.) Early voting was found to be constitutional by the High Court on the grounds that votes weren't counted until Election Day.
How about if we just eliminate voting in Florida? It would be nice not to hear about any more botched elections again. We can have a lottery to select government officials, and have the state legislature choose the electors for president every four years.
I go to the range and run about 200 rounds through my Glocks every week. I don't even think about work when I do it. The repetitive action, noise, and effort at hitting the target has a very calming effect. My cousin compares it to other martial arts for stress relief. (She just earned her black belt in Karate.)
Okay, I'm mainly saying this because we've had so many server failures at work in the last month. What features does the machine have to make it fault tolerant? Can they actually be demonstrated as part of the review. Do the automatic failovers actually operate. Will they operate properly if the server crashes under a full load.
I think we should counter by demanding an openly accessible database of elected officials, government employees, and government contractors. Data should include salary, work history, who made campaign contributions to whom, and other data relevant to running the government.
Also, I'll happily contribute my own entry from my (brief) period as a government contractor.
I use a pretty simple system where I use a temp (or sometimes a scratch) folder, and then I allocated a folder for each project. (These usually have subfolders for notes, documents, code, and other bits of information. I try to create all of my folders first and then create the files in the appropriate locations. Where useful, I'll create symbolic links from one project folder to related projects, and vice versa.
I also have a weekly cron that throws out everything in the temp folders to keep me from filling up my disk space. Usually, that's things like simulation logfiles, waveform files, and other really big things that can fill up a SAN fast.
Finally, I've got a bin folder for all the scripts and programs I use to manage everything.
Has anyone had a chance to do a comparable analysis? I'm wondering if this isn't just a result of fast math, wishful thinking, and conspiracy theories.
Also, isn't it possible that a lot of people in Florida simply voted accross party lines? Also, has anyone done an analysis of the voting patterns of the independant voters in Florida?
I jumped back into the semiconductor industry this summer after eighteen months away. (This included an ill-fated year in the public sector.) It seems that the need for more engineers is there, but management is really hesitant to hire right now. I got in just before every req in the department was cancelled, and we haven't been able to get more approved since. We've also had some employees resign, so I know there are companies hiring. We're expecting to bring some more people on board soon.
Evil Dead was pretty much a send up of the slasher movie genre. Now that we've seen near scene-for-scene remakes of Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Dawn of The Dead, the logical next step is to remake the parody as a commentary on how stupid and derivative Hollywood has become.

Don't worry, there are plenty of surprises. If I really wanted to spoil it, I'd have to write a lot more than I really want to now.

It figures: I decide to play the spelling Nazi, and end up hitting submit with a spelling error in my comment.

It's spelled deceptive, not disceptive.

Which creation story are you going by? Genesis actually contains two.

Would a regular smart card reader work?
If not, I found this from a quick search on Google
Yes, and so is the weed :)
;)
Not to mention the hookers.

Hasn't Wacom been making this type of product for about 15 years now?

Here, here!
Also, thank you for your service and that of your brothers-in-arms. Keep up the good fight.

Exactly. They're not the most Republican organization out there.
