..."Under the guidelines of the Clean Water Act by the EPA, silver iodide is considered a hazardous substance, a priority pollutant, and as a toxic pollutant.
Chronic Exposure/Target Organs: Chronic ingestion of iodides may produce "iodism", which may be manifested by skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of the mucous membranes. Weakness, anemia, loss of weight and general depression may also occur. Chronic inhalation or ingestion may cause argyria characterized by blue-gray discoloration of the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Chronic skin contact may cause permanent discoloration of the skin."
DO NOT WANT!
I strongly disagree with that statement. More than 99% of all collisions are NOT "accidents". From Merriam-Websters: "accident : an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance"
So 1% (give or take) are genuine accidents (read: mechanical failures). Black ice? I anticipate it. Bad drivers? Anticipated. Dangerous intersection? Check. Tired/sick? Bald tires? Poor visibility? uneven road surface? etc. etc. Complacency, ignorance and over-confidence are what kill people in cars.
Is THAT why all the rubber-neckers slow down? Respect? I thought it was morbid curiosity. If drivers respected each other, car collisions/fatalities would be almost zero.
Oddly enough, I had to reset my modem/router after clicking this story. First time in years.
My dad has a 'lite' package capped at 10 GB/month. They are calculating his usage at 10 times the actual use, just like the Verizon Math Fail of days gone by. I used his connection to d/l openSUSE11.2 (690 MB) and when I looked at his usage web page the next day it said I used over 6 GB.
I decided a few months ago to boycott nVidia and Intel because of their questionable business ethics, and because of their product naming schemes. My life is so much easier now when researching new builds for sucktomers. Heck , I won't even buy a mobo with an Intel chipset. I know my dollars won't make a difference, but if everyone did it, hooboy...

I came in here to find my karma is bad. I don't know how, or what it even means, but... Fuck this website, fuck karma, and fuck 2010.

I am an avid flight-simmer. And I am jealous.

'irregardless' is a perfectly cromulent word. It embiggens us all.
What are these cheques of which you speak? I'm 44 and I've managed to survive so far without writing a single one.
If I buy one more mobo that needs a BIOS flash right out of the box, I'm going to kill a puppy. No, two puppies. Cute ones.

Ask anyone you know that is a licensed driver: Is your driving: A)average B)below average C)above average? Go on- I dare you. You'll "C" what I mean.
