My airplane-rated gps loses signal in heavy overcast. Science 1, bookworms 0.
If you say so. My Magellan Meridian Platinum works just fine in the rain and under treecover. I've gone geocaching in the rain many times. Some of those times in storms that most sane people would have stayed home in. Times where my visibility in the rain and dark was maybe 20 feet. My GPSr walked me to within 15 feet everytime. Do you really think the system was designed so that all it would take was clouds to kill the signal? That would make the system useless a good portion of the time in many parts of the world.
GPS signals are not affected by rain and snow. At least the signal is NOT attenuated enough to effect accuracy. That's part of the reason the signals are in the frequency band they are. Check here and pages it links to if you're really interested in how it works.
Guns kept in the home for self-protection are more often used to kill somebody you know than to kill in self-defense; 22 times more likely...
Yeah, but what they don't tell you about those stats is who that 'somebody you know' is. More often than not it's your drug dealer or a pimp or a gang-banger in a drive-by. Hey they knew each other right? The actual stats of someone killing a non-abusive family member are actually nearly zero.

You do realize that everyone of these you post takes that combo out of circulation once this page gets indexed. It'll make it harder and harder to find valid 'Whack' combos in the future.
Mom:'Son, you've been at that computer an awful long time. What are you doing on there with the door closed?'
Son:'I'm just whacking away, Mom. Leave me alone.'
Oh, it'll fit in your bedroom alright. Barely. You'll also need another bedroom to hold the air-conditioning. Also, invest in an ear-plug manufacturer. Those bad-boys are filled with fans that scream all nite. You can blow-dry your hair in the wind that comes out of the exhaust.:-)
They would be great for LAN parties though. 16 machines in one. You'll only have to drag one machine to your friend's house.:-)

I may work for IBM but all opinions here are mine.
After all if parents can find kids slopping of behind the bike sheds, the kids should be able to find their parents slopping off down the local pub for an extended liquid lunch.
In what country are the kids responsible for the actions of their parents? If my kid gets into trouble with the law or otherwise, who do they come to for payment of damages?
Of course I won't have to worry about this because my kid is home-schooled. I always know where he is.
The largest newspaper in Sweden did a story about an island paradise in the Adriatic Sea. Complete with pics of palm trees and white sand beaches. The claimed it was freqented by the likes of Eminem, Madonna, and Tom Cruise. At the end of the story they gave a web address. http://www.nowhere.nu

Straight from DPS:
It is unlawful for a handgun license holder to carry a handgun onto such places as the premises of a business that derives 51 percent or more of its income from the sale of alcohol on premises, a correctional facility, hospital, an amusement park, a place of worship, or any meeting of a governmental entity,
We have to pay them to take our stuff? They say they will try to refurb and donate to non-profits thus garnering themselves a tax write-off. This is a win-win for them.
Why the hell didn't I think of it?:-)

That's just over $1M US. Not a lot for a lead movie role in this day and age.

I've met Chip. He's a decent guy. It's nice to see that the good guy does win once in a while.
Would the new National ID card be enough to get me on the shuttle? If it's good enough for the airlines, it should be good enough for NASA.

Naming their new OS 'Longhorn' is an affront to all UT grads everywhere!
Can't they call it 'Aggie' or something?
