So every thread in here goes like this, "Yeah it's a pain in the hiney but what are you gonna do?" Come on now. Are we humans just going to bend over and let the data bases run our lives. Screw them when the papers become more important then the person.
Your papers don't match you're not a human anymore. The state will crush you now.
This seems to be a recent problem. In 1999 we got married and our new last name is 21 letters long. Social Security could fit it but the Mass RMV could not. After creative rearranging of our name order on the license they got it all to fit. Now my wife had to renew and the RMV got their panties all up in a bunch that it didn't match Social Security. So now the name has been changed such that the first name includes a space and as much of the last name that fit with the last name starting where the first left off. Tell me that isn't going to cause trouble.
Even at 50/50 odds the chance to step a little closer to the stars appeals to me in profound ways. I don't know off the top of my head but what were the odds of surviving a trip to the pacific in a covered wagon? What were the odds for a British naval conscript to grow old? There have always been daredevils carrying the human race a few steps further away from the Tigris River. Had I been born 15000 years ago I would have been one of them.
Let's say, hypothetically, that I came in still drunk from last night and told you what I really thought about those ugly kids in that picture frame on your desk and then puked behind the ficas tree in the lobby... How would you handle a situatioin like that?
What did your grandmother use the electric car for? I can't imagine she drove it on the highway. I'd think she might get it up to highway speeds with a manual transmission
I find it completely unconsionable that the RIAA failed to protect the artists rights and make payments when due. Claiming they couldn't find the artists involved is a fabrication of the most fraudulent kind. It's not like David Bowie has fallen off the face of the earth.
You can make 1200bhp out of that 1.6L with enough money. The problem is that is will only last a few seconds
This is so true. In highschool a friend added Nitrous to his Honda Civic. He got tons more horsepower out of it for about a month then he needed a new car.
Try going 30 miles (to and from any location) in a decent time frame for less then 2 bucks, only a car with a gallon of gas can do it that cheap
Actually, if you factor in depreciation, maintenance and insurance you are paying on the order of $10 for that trip. But that extra 8 bucks is generally worth it to not have to sit next to some crazy cat-throwing 80 year old woman who smells like pee and want's to call you Billy as she tells you about someone who died 30 years ago.
I'd like a digital camera that responds as quickly as a film camera. I hate holding down the button and waiting for the camera to decide if it will take the picture or not. I want a digital camera that will take the picture when I press down the button not 1/2 to 3 seconds later.
This is why I wish I could embed a picture on slashdot. If you adjust the focal point so that it is outside and in front of the projector you can project a brighter although smaller then otherwise image. The ray traycing would increase the brightness at the expense of image size over the same distance. This would require some fairly complex optics. It would probably be cheaper to get a better projector if brightness was a serious issue.
Well you are right that one movie is 3 bucks but if you get HBO for $16 a month (rough average from the last couple towns I got it in) content only costs 2 cents an hour.
So if you put aside a dollar every time you watch a movie you'll have a good chunk of the money saved to buy a new bulb when it burns out.

Kind of like the Gestapo.

Or so I'm told.
Joe Pants always makes me laugh when he's acting tough. Maybe it's because I never bought him as Guido the Killer Pimp.

Yeah but then you get to stretch your arms out and watch your girlfriend catch fire.
I am so old school geek!

The correct answer here is to give me a raise.
I think you and the other poster in this thread aren't thinking outside the box. You have one for indoors and one for outdoors. Problems solved.
Paint this thing black and put a needle on it and I'd swear it's the thing Darth Vader used to torture Princess Leia.
Yeah but during cold winters nothing short of a cat can keep your lap quite so toasty warm as a Compaq with a fresh battery.
Yes let's shoot a 60 caliber pellet at some potentially unstable compounds.
Yeah but those little girls grow up to be women with insanely huge boobies. Tell me that's wrong.

It's only perjury if they repeat it in front of a judge. For now it's just capitol fraud.
No that's not that fast. He's got to be spinning faster then a dentist drill.
I believe that was covered in my subject line. It's true nobody ever reads them. But thanks for the link.

I love that bastard child of Basic that MS hides in the windows folder. I love throwing banannas at monkeys.

Well yes but I don't want to have to shell out 3 times the price. I also prefer a camera that I can put in a pocket not one that requires luggage.
