I also had knee-surgery when I was 16-total replacement due to a drunk in a caddy.The damn thing has been there for 26 years,getting repaired every so often,as even stainless steel & titanium wears out.(the constant pain is a real bummer).
This should be a first step toward fixing some major problems,if Curious George(in the White House)will not cut research money.(Check out his federal budget.IT SUCKS!!)
(I'm still trying to find the grease plug for the knee.Should I use EP1,EP2 or teflon based?);-)
Great.Now if they could create a pancrease so I don't have to take those damned insulin shots every day to stay alive.
"It's such fun being a human pincushion"
I,too,have not seen much in the way of anime.I am looking forward to taking a view.
(I wonder if a redneck version might be possible?)
My daughters love it.So we'll see it if and when civilization comes to Southeastern Ky.:-)
Great!Another excuse that the piss-poor ISP's in Eastern Ky. will give for lousy service.
I have a 4 cylinder 20 kw diesel generator on stand-by--not because of the storm or Y2K,just that the power goes out here every time a bird lands on a power line and farts.
I'll have the camcorder ready(withe the DC power cord to plug into my SUV's power).
Yes.He's got a daddy's girl.(Is he in for fun!)
The little one will soon learn how to wrap daddy around her little finger without trying hard.(all little girls do their fathers like that-nothing wrong,just goes with the territory)
Being the father of 2 girls(1 left for college 2 weeks ago),I know what he is in for.
Congrats and have fun!!:-)
I wonder if anyone views this as paranoid as I do.A gigantic meteroite wiped out the dinosaurs and unless we develop a means to detect and deflect such objects,the human race might be next on the cosmic turkey shoot.A bus-sized meteor releases the energy of a small nuclear warhead.What would have happened if it came down over the Soviet Union,say in Oct.1963??
Sounds almost like an episode of the orginal Star Trek,where 2 planets fought a war via computer,then the victims were destroyed.No rubble,no radiation,no fuss--and no end.
Thank you for clearing this up.You did beat me to the punch on this.Good thinking.( I am a 1st generation trekkie.Even have some of the orginal show's props.)
I'm not angry,just pissed that I got interupted in the middle of this.By the way,a friend of mine that happens to be a Ky.State Trooper,told me that the girl this jackass attacked will be OK.Dumbass #1 will be possibly be put in prison for the rest of his life.He was over to have me put Linux into his machine.He loves it.(another convert!YES!!He got tired of constant crashes.) I am not that far from the Tennessee border.I am very peaceful,except where my family's safety is concerned.I might be a throwback to earlier generations,but after hearing what DA#1 did,it just reenforces my beliefs on the subject of gun control and gun ownership.Feel free to contact me on the listed e-mail.Would love to communicate while I still can.(Diabetes is trying to take my eyesight.)
Right On,bro!(groan on the cliche)I had an attempted break-in this morning about 3AM that was stopped by the fact that I was armed.The dolt is in jail,waiting for a trip to State Prison for the next 15 to 20 years. Try a drive-by atomic wedgie without tearing off your arm.Gotta be fast!
Good one,Fester.I just got back from a gun swap/trade with a couple of nice pistols.Hell,the local law was there,buying and selling like everyone else. Compared to major cities,the rural areas are much safer--as long as you respect another person's privacy and possessions and leave both alone. Gun ownership is a right and a responsibility.Give the common folk credit for using plain common sense.Theives in this area know that they risk sudden death,if caught.
Last comment on this subject.I do not subscribe to popular culture,either.I rarely even turn on a tv.Got better things to do.(Building a new Linux system,for instance.Making a decent living doing this.) I discount the accusation by another unknown idiot that accused me of molesting my children as the ravings of head-up-his-ass self-rightous asshole. Saying this on a forum is one thing.Say it to my face could have much different results.
The dumbass that I stopped a few minutes ago was wanted for a very vicious rape earlier this evening,according to the troopers.He raped and vicously beat up a 19 year old girl in a nearby county.How he made it here without killing himself or anyone else is a miracle in itself.He wasn't counting on anyone being up. My wife and teen daughter were glad now that I waste a lot of time on this site.(Got the big eye,can't sleep) Sorry for getting off the subject,but it does show me that I had better stay armed--to the teeth.
True,but I reload 90% of my shells,and if I had to,I could even make a fairly decent grade of gunpowder.Try replacing bird shot with rock salt in a 12 guage shell without destroying the shell.(good for busting a dog's ass for leaving the big dump at your doorstep.Does not kill the dog,just reminds it to stay home.Also works on drunks,crackheads,junkies,ect.Rough on the shotgun,tho.)Ammo is not a problem.The attitude on usage needs serious overhaul.Tempers are too short-fused and getting worse.(Yes,I can reload the.357 armor piercing shell that can shoot thru a 1970 Caddy from trunk thru to the front cylinder in the motor block.Usually reload this as a.38 special with hollow points,tho.) (Note: Since I have been on this subject,a drunk neighbor tried to bust down the front door.Stopped dead in his tracks when his sodden brain figured out that I would blow his shit away if he tried anything else.He is waiting for the "Law" to show up,hogtied and gagged.Dumb bastard.3rd time in 2 weeks.Got him on a security camera tape doing this.This should put him away for at least 3 to 5 years.'breaking and entering ') Where would I be without a gun right now? More than likely,dead or dying. Gotta go,Smoky Bears have arrived.
RIGHT!! Like everyone else here,the Brady law didn't mean squat,as far as practical,everyday swapping and trading goes.The only gunstore left is due to close soon,due to lack of business and the fact that the background checks are done.(It's due to distrust of the government.)It's a bit like the local option on alchol sales.It can be gotten anywhere,legal or otherwise.Just have to know where to look.
Just try,buttmunch.Try at 157 Groundhog Hollow in Hardburly.Hillbilly#1 will be waiting.(Do you just hate an idiot that has to hide behind a fake name just to rile a feller?) I'm not native to the mountains,but I was raised here.(I was a navy brat,born on base in San Diego.)My father was a native of Eastern Ky,descended from both sides of the Hatfield-McCoy feud.He was honorably discharged less than 2 weeks later.We came here and this is home.That's why I have the attitude that I do. If you don't like it,tough.I don't care.(In case the rest of the Slashdotters are wondering,the Hardburly Booger Man handle is my actual CB handle that I have used since I was 8 years old,and I just hit 42.)
I personally don't give a big rat's ass what the morons in DC try.NONE of my personal stash are registered and will never be. Folks here have a history of extreme distrust of any government agency.Besides,having the guns the way I do have saved my family recently from a breakin by a crackhead. Like I said,I can buy a weapon anywhere,anytime.legal or not. Here is an idea.Arm everyone.Crooks will behave then.(or get blown away if not.)Sounds like the wild west? Sure it does.But the myth of the gun controllers have been proven not to work.(Check Washington DC,New York City,Chicago,ect.where highly restricting gun laws exists)Who has the guns there?Yep,the crooks do. Most everyone here has at least a decent shotgun. I got lucky,with a father who was a cop and taught me from an early age what a gun(rifle,shotgun,pistol-take your pick)can do. I pack a S&W.357 with armor piercing shells 99% of the time.(Rattlesnakes are a daily occurance since I live out in the county.The sales of those types of shells where halted a few years ago,prompting me to buy every box advailable before the supply dried up.)If I have have to use a gun,I want to make DAMN sure that what(or who) is not going to get up again.Sheep,nope don't think so.Just a dumb hillbilly(or briar as the people from up north call us)who can use common sense,unlike some other folks I have heard of.
That won't work,here in Eastern Ky.,where,like myself,a lot of people have a conceal-carry license.I intent to go to a gun show Saturday to get a new pistol,just for the fun of doing so and make the powers that be nervous. The FBI is presently investigating the county goverment here,as a lot of county officials seem to be tied to some major drug rings.The Feds don't like normal people owning their only protection,since the law here is either non-existent or in cahoots with the druggies. Glitch in their computers,fine.I can find a weapon anywhere,legal or not.It is not hard to do. I personally own enough weapons to start a small war,but I don't intend to. I need a hand held laser,if for no other reason that to weld my old jalopy together after travelling the paved roads here.(and to blast a hole thru the next idiot that cuts me off on Hwy.15.)
Typical Microsoft.The powers that be are beginning to realize that they are no longer Lord of all they survey. As for myself,I quit using Microsoft products recently because of the constant security bugs,sloppy code and general crap that Windows encompasses.Bill Gates & company will never see another penny of my hard earned cash. The dirty tricks that got Microsoft convicted recently won't stop short of killing off Microsoft entirely.Maybe/. should send it to Judge Jackson.;-)
I just got thru reading the article.KUDOS!The article give a decent description of Slashdot. As a 42 year old geek that got canned for independant thinking in the robotic Eastern Ky. Job Market,(The powers that be cannot stand to realize that someone else has a better idea.) I usually check/. on a daily basis.Any new items are (if time permits) checked and commented on,if I have anything to add. Keep it up.Make the bastards sweat!(and very nervious)

Install this on the spaceshuttle Discovery and program it to do missions.Can we spell H.A.L.9000? (Good Morning Dave)

Watch MPAA sue to stop this if it could be apllied to DVD copy-protection.
The real losers are the trolls that won't even use their real names.

Warp 300? The warp formula is (WF*WF*WF)*c.(WF=Warp factor.Warp 1 or 1*1*1=3 .Warp 6=6*6*6=216 times light speed.)Get it right!;o)
What's next---french fry powered PCs?? :-)
