Or call in Peter and Walter Bischop... this is clearly part of a pattern! First bald guy shows up, sea goes swoosh, reactor goes kaboom, then a ghost shows up and now these butterflies... That IS a pattern!
Par example: I tried to find the Chinese embassy in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) The address in the LP is about 10 kilometres away from where it actually is. And it is there for nearly 10 years now. On the website there were many who complained and pointed at the right address and lots of those postings were done well before my edition was reissued. The people from the embassy told me that they wrote to LP, mailed them and phoned them but to no avail. Prices are (nearly always) incorrect, bars/restaurants/hotels that are closed now, roads with old names, warnings about issues that are no issues at that particular place, this list continues. Friend of mine was in south east Africa and experienced the same. The rough-guide is doing a great job, go for that one I would suggest, good experiences with those.
In addition to this. I used them for a trip trough Kazakhstan and India and it keeps the dust (and moist) out perfectly. I had my nettop in a soft(foam rubber) shell, and that in a ziplock bag. The nettop is still with me:-) Passports/tickets/spare credit card where also in a ziplock bag. I tested it first in the sink with some tissues, it is as water tight. Pro tip: When packing, put the ziplock bag on the mattress, press the air out with a pillow and then seal it. That way you'll save space. Oh, and another thing: Be sure to have a dead-tree-travelguide with you. Ive seen many stranded because their kindle was out of power/broken/stolen and didn't know what to do. In a book one can make notes and plan routes easier too. Oh, and make sure you avoid LonelyPlanet if you go for dead-tree, those absolutely and utterly worthless:-S
That is not how science works. Please go and read some books by Sir Karl Raimund Popper, and specifically about the intricate workings of the "scientific method". I think you will find it highly enlightening.
In addition to this parental and, yes, proper advice: Go read some books in stead of throwing toys. There are good arguments for and against manmade global warming, and personally I think there is no such thing as MMGW. Thing is; there is no way of telling just yet. It is just a way of predicting the future, and there is no such business. The models are only as good as the information (=pre-assumptions) one puts in there, and then there is a huge lag of possible parameters in all those models.
One thing one could say is: There was no global warming in the last 10 years.
- But maybe that was just a temporary 'plateau', and it will continue to rise even further;
- But maybe this is a 'top pattern' and things will cool down now;
- But maybe the data was corrupted;
- But maybe the models of tomorrow are much more accurate In short; it is a bit to much:"*staring at handpalm, gipsy-accent* There will be a dark lady in your life! And great fortune as well!". We will know what the weather will be in 20 years after 20 years have gone by. The rest of all the people who (think they) can predict the future: GO BUY LOTTO TICKETS YOU IDIOT!!!
Well, well, the thing is that asking for advice on a slightly 'gender specific' issue means that as a replier I first have to take into account where my advise is going. So that is not worth mentioning. (but thanks anyway) I think that first of you should discuss this with your boss, doesn't need to be too serious, just mention it at the coffee machine or something. Then, if he leaves it up to you, keep wearing your t-shirts and jeans. If he doesn't like it, he will come up to you eventually. Then you can ask him again to define some rules. That way you don't hurt his feelings of importance, and everybody leaves the office smiling. Just make sure that: 1. the clothes (what ever you choose) are clean and undamaged 2. the shirt is not offensive in *ANY WAY* (the other managers are 1 of the 10 people who can't read binary, and they might feel awkward if they ask and it turns out 10 = 2 = they go think you're slightly infantile) 3. if you choose casual, keep in mind that some people (clients) from out-side the company might frown upon T's and that would make your boss feel awkward (you better avoid that) so a plain coloured T might be a good idea in case of client meetings (keep a plain polo in your desk;) 4. other people have no reason to give you a -1 on 'first appearance', no matter how much knowledge you have on the relevant subject. If you have a lot of knowledge it only means that they will respect you sooner. If you have a lot of knowledge and you dress smart (i.e. to the occasion) they respect you from the first moment on. 5. No shirt at all on casual-Friday! Woot! Woot!
What my girlfriend used to do cheating her way trough highschool: write imortant stuff on your upper leg, about an inch or so up the end of the skirt. Move the skirt a little up and get your info. Move it back when the teacher comes around patrolling. The teacher (M) cant search you there for that would be inappropriate;-) So, first up on the leg: 1 check all cables 2 try turning it off and on again. Now no one will ever know she forgot how to use a computer! Kate is a female name right??

But of course it will only go "bzzrrk" when there is a virus in the MS OS. The rest of the time it will be more like this: Operator: Kill pedestrian *points at a little grandmom with a walking-aid* MS OS: This operation might harm you or other people, are you sure? [yes] [no] Operator: *clicks yes* MS OS: are you really sure? [yes] [no] Operator: *clicks yes and grunts* MS OS: To complete this operation you need administrator privileges, do you want to continue? [yes] [no] Operator: *clicks yes and grunts and moans* MS OS: Enter administrator password here [ ] Operator:*type type type type type type* MS OS: loading bullets, 1 second remaining MS OS: loading bullets, 30 seconds remaining MS OS: loading bullets, 2 hours remaining MS OS: loading bullets, 7 minutes remaining MS OS: loading bullets, 1 second remaining Little grandmom: *already safe at home making tea*
More than 490.000.000.000 tonnes of meat, 600.000.000 colour blind people, 700.000.000 people with Herpes, 70.000.000 people with syphilis, 140.000.000 severely mentally retarded people and an equal amount of highly intelligent people. And the list goes on if you talk about percentages! Oh, and while I am at it, one would need 280 grams of Botulinum type A toxin to kill half of them. I'm not saying one should, but one could. I don't want to ruin anyone's day you know...
Just a little thing to think about: Did he actually did everything in "inch here, foot there, gallon here and a furlong there"? because as far as my knowledge goes all the space stuff (i.e. ISS etc.) is designed and made in metric. Going up X feet in the air is regular 'aviation lingo', but from there on, everything is metric.... (Or maybe the editor made it a bit more comprehensible for the imperial-minded (red neck) audience)
So, yes space is getting closer, but if it's all going up and down again (because of incompatibility problems) it's hardly any fun, is it? When it is able to dock to the ISS, the space hotel and the inevitable space brothel (green ladies with n boobs, where n is a natural number of your likings) THEN the fun really starts. I mean, you/have/ read "53 more things to do in zero gravity" right? I am sure D.A. mentioned it:-)
I agree, I got an N900 for a year or so, and it does a great job. But if they can scrape a bit of the weight it would be even better. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! And it runs linux as well!
Yeah, I surely hope that Randall Munroe makes a cartoon on the RaspberryPi or Bitcoins, that would make the prediction a whole lot easier on a lot of/. stories:-)

and the book is full of places that you can avoid.
Besides, I rather have a guide that tells me where to go... Its why I bought it...

That could be done with #kill -9 0
Why the fuss?
