    Um, yeah, hey. Ah, This is 2003, in fact pretty much the middle of 2003, not anywhere near the end like november or december when most people start categorizing it with the next year.

  8. Re:Time? on The Biggest and Baddest Backyard Roller Coaster · · Score: 1

    at my old job, they gave out Project Manager titles, and Vice presidentships with boxes of Tide. Titles mean nothing these days, back that title up with experience then we'll talk.

    The way I see it, they give out the title for accountability, the more people accountable, the easier the managements job is to point fingers at who to blame when THEIR butts are in the sling.

  10. Re:We call this discipline on How Do You Get Work Done? · · Score: 1

    it's funny how people who do NOT have ADD or ADHD, see this as just self discipline.

    YOU HAVE NO CLUE, STOP TALKING ABOUT SUCH MATTERS.

    I have a chemical imbalance in my brain, do you? because of ADD, I have 10 things going on in my head at any one givin time. All of which interest me, all of which distract me. There is nothing I can do about this without the help of drugs. I'm not talking about the condoning of illegal drugs, I'm also not talking about the unneeded use of medication just because ritalin happens to be speed. I'm talking about a DRAMATIC, VISIBLE shift in how i act and think.

    Currently I am 30 and was taken off of ritalin when I was 17(Everyone thought that I had matured to where I didnt need it), Now being 30 and being MATURE, I now realise that I have ADD and I can see it in everything I do, was retested when I was about 25 to get back on it, during the test while I was in a rather small room with a computer, taking some test that was a timed response, I began to notice that I COULDN'T concentrate on the test, everything else in the room needed my attention. no matter how hard I tried to "Do Good" on the test by concentrating, It was the entire time proving that I in fact have ADD.

    Now it comes that I am unemployed and can not get any medication to help me, you know what I'm doing now? SURFING THE WEB not working on finding a job!

  11. Re:In case anyone was wondering ... on Nikon D2H: Digital Camera + 802.11b Option · · Score: 1

    I dont think that Nikon would not have the forsight to have something that attaches to the bottom of the camera and not put a tripod mount on it.

    Just because it does not appear to have a small 1/4" hole on the bottom doesn't mean it doesn't.

  12. Re:the prices of digital cameras on Nikon D2H: Digital Camera + 802.11b Option · · Score: 1

    while I dont know the price ont he D2H i know that the D1H is $3700 give or take...

    I find it funny that you are comparing this camera to building a BUDGET PC for $150 that surely doesn't have all the components ie: monitor, HD, processor(with Heatsink and fan, although these usually come with the proc if you buy OEM), case, RAM, KB, and mouse (I'm assuming the MB has sound, video, and ethernet).

  13. Re:I use a reward system on How Do You Get Work Done? · · Score: 1

    make sure you get something with a rebate that you can give as a gift, so you start the cycle over again.

  14. Re:Some friendly advice... on How Do You Get Work Done? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Agreed. I have ADD, I'm not hyperactive(i do fidgit). But the current buzzword is ADHD, and many people completely forget about ADD as an option if they aren't hyper.

    Goto a doctor and try to get on stratera or some equivalent.

    which method do you think anyone with a decent grasp of math would prefer for makeing themselves money?

    sell 1 gallon of gas for $1.939 being $1.93 9/10Â
    or
    sell 9/10th gallon of gas for $1.93

    lets do the math shall we?

    10 gallons @ your rate $19.39

    10 gallons @ my rate $21.44

    WHICH do you think the gas companies want to do, and which do you think they want you to believe is the fact?

    dont believe me? go fill up!

  20. Re:whatever on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 1

    next time you roll to the gas station...

    put in exactly how much you believe 1 gallon is worth, then check how gas has been pumped

    eg: 91 octaine @ $1.939 as you say

    put in $1.93... the pump will read that you have transferred 9/10 gallon to your car. its always said that its a 1.939 so everyone think's that it's 9/10cent

    that's how they get you... you think you are getting a gallon of gas for $1.93 or even close

    another example.. put in 9 gallons... you will be charged 19.93 if gas is $1.939 as you say, Gas stations make a HELL of alot more money at $1.93 9/10 gal versus 1/10 of a penny per gal.
