  1. So they just come here and fly around? Why have they not colonized? 83k claimed sightings this year alone...and they just come and fly around.

  2. I ordered them from 1800 contacts once and entered the wrong prescription, they had no problems delivering them. Of course I had to order the correct ones after that so I could see. Then again, I had the doctor write my new prescription in my file once, only to have someone type it into the computer incorrectly. I didn't find out until years later, after my eyesight got worse in that eye that had the wrong Rx

  9. Re:Which is better on Fedora 27 Released (fedoramagazine.org) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It depends on what you want to do. Steam games generally get full support for Ubuntu first, less so on Fedora. I can play TF2 natively, but both Portal games crash on me. But if you ask my boss, he would say that debian packaging is superior to RPM especially when dealing with dependency issues.

  10. lol, you seem to think that the law turns off sexual desire...I mean we are all just animals right? I remember a girl in 6th grade with D-cups...she turned every mans head. Could you resist her if she had a thing for you? I know that's not what the story is, but it doesn't add up...why would you leave your 14 year old girl alone with a grown man, and why would you allow her to go over to his place alone. I'm not even be comfortable leaving my 14 year old alone with male family members, let alone a complete stranger!!

  11. Dilution on Ask Slashdot: Where Do Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In 1980, there were about 10k CS graduates, compare that to 60k in 2005. Add in those that switched careers, the older generation gets diluted. Though i admit I have plenty of 40+ people where I am, one is 67, and I had a software tester that was well into her 70s at my last job.

  18. If I fire a bullet from Mexico or Canada that kills someone in the US, have I committed a crime? Can the US come after me even though the crime was committed from another country? Yes they can, and they should. If I build a rocket in UK, sell it to a guy in Canada, who launches it at someone in the US...is the guy in the UK liable to the US? That is where it gets messy.

    They didn't extradite him. They didn't even try, nor did the UK charge him. They found out he was coming to the US and went after him.

    It doesn't effect me. It was simple numbers, the curve had to be under 20 degrees. Prior to that day, I had always measured under 20 degrees, but that day he measured 26. I unloaded Wal-Mart trucks to help pay for college, no problems whatsoever. The specialist basically asked about sports and my grades, then told me to go to college.

    I was rejected for mild scoliosis....I would think being born with the wrong genitals would be a more severe condition than that. I require no treatment and rarely ever even feel discomfort...compared to someone who will require treatment for the rest of their lives.

  24. Re:Just last week, downtown Philly... on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 2

    Is it worth $500 if the cell service can no longer be used? I purchased a phone from craigslist that ended up being stolen, and it worked at first, but shortly after it was shut off. What was frustrating was I could go into my AT&T account and turn it back on, only to have them shut it back off a day later, and it took maybe 5 support calls before someone finally told me it was a stolen phone. Caught the guy and got the money back though.

  25. It's $60/yr for the phone service...which still works on Android, just not the landline adapters. So I haven't technically lost the service, I just can't use it as a home phone.
