Try Scott No-Fog cloth. Any cycle shop should carry it. You fog up the shield/goggles with your breath and then wipe it dry with the cloth. I've tried everything on the market and nothing compares. The semi-pro off road racers I've met use Rain-ex on the inside of their goggles, but even that didn't work for me.
I have to wonder if this would have happened if they'd left one of the reactors operating during the quake. Shutting them all down and relying on external power seems to be the root of the problem.
But, yeah, how could lack of electricity be a problem? It's a nuclear fricken power plant!!
Substitute your local area code. No matter where you are, someone has registered that number at the grocery store, usually with some kind of funny name.
(if your boss is a smoker and your co-worker is a smoker while you are not, there is just no helping the fact that you will be at a disadvantage.)
I got to know someone during smoke breaks who turned out to be a VP of the company. It certainly was an advantage and lead to some interesting work. On the other hand, non-smokers look down on smokers so it's a big disadvantage if the boss doesn't smoke. And most don't nowadays. Then there's the whole COPD and death part. *cough*
I read Fox News this morning and did not see that headline. That is a lie. Nowhere does it say "Nuclear Explosion". "Explosion at Nuclear Plant", yes, which happens to be true.
The governor of Louisiana declined requests by President Bush to have the National Guard enforce state laws, and didn't request any additional troops until 2 days after Katrina. The President does not have the authority to just send the military into a state.
I mean, aside from the immediate need for search and rescue, is Japan really going to need donations to recover from this? Last I heard, they were one of the wealthier nations.
The only people more annoying than devout religious fundamentalists are devout atheists.
Well, I suppose a "devout atheist" (whatever that means) might annoy religionists if he tried to disabuse them of their delusions. Yes, I can see that would be annoying if your whole life was proved to be built around a lie.
A fundamentalist believes that they're going to heaven no matter what. An atheist believes that they just cease to exist eventually. I think both use those beliefs to justify being an asshole to everyone.
NASCAR needs to update, oh and stop going around in circles.
Circle is fine, but I think they should have the even numbered cars go clockwise and the odd numbered cars go counterclockwise. It would make a more interesting show.
The default Window Search in XP just does not work. It can't find anything. Simple text in a.txt file doesn't come up. It's like nobody ever tested it at all before release.
And then there's Sharepoint. Again, I can "search" for a term that I know is somewhere and it won't show up. Since search doesn't work, I have to send raw URLs out to people and they're always something like "https://monkey.spank.org/gtfo/wtf/LAME/sites/Guides%20or%20Documents%20Blah.aspx?RootFolder=%2asdf%2zxcv%2fGTFO%2fSites%20Guides32%1a1%1eSome%20Document&AreaCDIF=&brain=hurts&View=%8dffsdg9erg8erga8as8df8ew8avdsdfklsdlkgjsdlfgahsdf8". I actually find these links in printed documentation, like I'm supposed to type the whole thing in.
Anyways, I'll give Microsoft credit for a lot of things, but search and indexing? No way.
Or worse than that, EE degrees for application developers.
I got bored with math courses and went across campus to the School of Business for an Information Systems degree. At the time, it had more programming classes than the CS department and the rest was business management, accounting, marketing, communication, etc. It really prepared me for working in the real world more than the pure math and theory of the CS program.
I know I missed out on some of the advanced theory, but I code up the same old boring windows apps that all the EE's and CS's do. I end up teaching OO Design to a lot of EE's.
Compared to what, spending it on wellfare for worthless excuses for human beings? It would be more productive just to make a big money pile and light it on fire.....
The federal budget deficit is a trillion dollars larger this year than 2008, and we don't even get a space program out of it anymore.
You can legally get a prescription for THC in the US, the trade name is Marinol and assuming that the doctor is willing to go along with it, you can get it without any trouble. Which sort of discards the view that it's about big pharma.
I'll bet the trade name on the bottle makes it expensive.
It's not really the government's fault. Someone can take out a loan in your name using your SSN but that doesn't make you legally liable at all. You don't have to pay anything. It's the bank's problem.
The fact that bank that made the mistake can mark it on YOUR credit report is the problem. And that's all private sector business.
Seriously? I can't think of a form I've filled out ever that didn't ask for social security crap on it
Then stop giving it out. Just don't do it. Refuse. It really does work.
When the dentist office asks for my social security number, I politely inform them that I do not give it out. Then they tell me that it is needed for my insurance identification, which it isn't because I already fought that battle with the insurance company and have a "customer number" that is not my SSN. After some strange looks, the paperwork gets filed with the SSN field blank and all is well. They get their money and my teeth get cleaned.
Except for banks or employers, there is no need for anyone to have that number. Eventually they'll give up if you're persistent.
Cell phone carriers are a little different since they tag you with your SSN when they run the credit check. Since I absolutely refuse to ever give out my SSN over the phone, they typically accept another number for verification like a zip code.
If I ever again run a customer facing business, I'm going to put a field on all paperwork for SSN. Anybody who willingly writes it in will get smacked upside the head. Hard.
9.04 Obnoxious Orangutan or 9.10 Farty Ferret, if I remember correctly. I found that tasks that were so simple 10 years ago in Redhat 5.2 were impossible in the 9.x versions of Ubuntu. It's like there was no testing done at all.
10.10 absolutely rocks. I take back all the curse words I yelled at Ubuntu. It's stable, easy to set up, and easy to use.

You must not be married.
I gave my wife a GPS so she can yell at it instead of me when she's lost.
As long as I get to make fun of the Xtians, I'm OK with that.

The company that brought us Windows Search and Sharepoint has started an internet search engine.
No thanks.

DoD is 20% of the budget. The other 80% could use some trimming too.
