I was quite the g33k in high school, but never got into the D&D thang. That said, cancer's a bitch. Nobody should die at 61 from cancer, not in America.
Cancer has taken everyone that I know in my family, and at 22, I've already had melanomas removed. Seriously, if I had a pussy for every recalcitrant little bitch cell that decided it was boss in my family, I'd be wearing a foursome for a hat.
Rest in peace man, and just remember, when the grey goo comes to take over, it ain't got shit on your cells' unconstrained ability to divide. Your (and my, for that matter) genetic code may be the salvation of us all.
Oh dear lord. I don't call that a joke, I call that horrendous. The fact that the website seems to be targeting children gives me chills. If my son or daughter was suddenly upset with my fishing and hunting habit because PETA told her its mean to kill "sea kittens", I'm gonna be marching down to headquarters in my camouflage to take care of the problem MY way.
Fucking PETA. I'm going to eat a creek kitten right now. A trout. And, by the way, PETA, I paid $30 to be licensed to actually catch that trout, and I have a limit to how many I can take daily. The money I paid for that license is used to A. Figure out just how many fish I can catch without too much of an impact on the ecosystem, and B. hatch me new trout for every season.
And I'm gonna wash down my creek kitten meal with some milk. I'll do my best to make sure the milk comes from a cow whose offspring went to the veal factory, and for dessert I'm going to have bear-liver pate spread on bread made with yeast that were genetically engineered to feel the pain of being baked at 350F.
Dude, if the electricity grid comes crashing down, your well is gonna be useless without a hand pump! I live in the country, no power means no computer, no fridge AND no water.
Haha. I remember back in the day getting an ircd that didn't have services running just to screw around. Not knowing anything except BASIC and mIRC script (and not having any way of even/compiling/ a C program for Windows), I picked up a copy of the RFC and wrote channel, nick, and memo services all in mIRC script that kept all the info in a comma delimited text file all with hashed (not seeded, cmon, I was 12!) passwords. Ran pretty good, if I do say so myself!
Now, age 22, I'm a human development and family studies student who's gonna be practicing family law in about 3 years. I think someone took me out of the basement and put me into the sun too long, I've done been cooked!
Really do miss those days. Wish I had time to sit down and learn a real man's programming language, learning a second human one (Spanish) takes up enough time as it is!
I've got a similar problem, I come off more like the testosterone-injection-fueled football player, I guess (and I don't do either).
One good side effect? I never get asked by anybody to help with computers with the exception of family. I just don't look the part! Hell, when I do try and offer help, I get some damn quizzical looks from my friends, despite the fact that they've all seen what I do with my own electronics.
I'm not complaining, though. In my PFY days, I couldn't get away from being the Free Help Desk for Those Without a Help Desk Guy.
The problem in the US is that by the time someone decides to drive a manual-transmission car, they've been driving auto for years. Before I could even get my girl to move the vehicle I had to spend an hour explaining just exactly what a clutch does and why you can't fully stop the car without it.
Hell, a lot of cars in the US don't even have a tachometer - most USians only know to push the right pedal harder to go faster and left pedal to go slower. No cognizance of gears or engine speed to wheel speed ratios. I've always called a stick shift a "standard" car. Go to any US car lot and try to find a stick shift. It's no longer standard, it's an option that's not always available. My old '95 T-Bird 4.6l could not be purchased with a manual transmission, even though the body is equipped with bolt taps and punch-outs for a clutch pedal and master cylinder, and Ford makes two or three different manual transmissions that not only fit the motor, but the chassis too without modification. But you can't buy it!
It's actually back down to about $2/gallon. I've been driving around in second gear for the past week just to be a dirty, filthy, CO2-emitting American.
What fuckin' retard wrote this? I'm not going to RTFA, because whoever submitted this should have noticed that mobile phones removing IrDA in place of Bluetooth, and TVs are/not/.
If we divided the money up "fairly", Texas would get more highway money than PA. It's bigger. Its got twice the peeple. Wrong.
So, my reps have to legislate interstates into existence (I99), taking an "unfair share" of highway money.
PA has trucks with nine foot snow blowers that would make any Texan shit their pants driving in the mountains, and those don't even come close to keeping roads navigable sometimes. Because of this, my state takes an unfair share of highway money, thanks to earmarks.
From my point of view, immigration isn't a problem. Texas, however, takes more of my taxbuck to keep illegal immigration in check than PA does. They need their earmarks to fight that.
If it wasn't for local reps fighting for earmarks in federal budgets, el estado mexicano de Tejas construiría la carretera en PA because my state wouldn't be able to afford it with American labor on its "fair share" of highway money!
Dude, I'm a human development major. I seriously sat here for 45 seconds saying "Damn, they really didn't teach me much math..." until i crossed my heart so say a pray....oh duh.
I am actually kind of curious as to see what my school's perfume smells like, probably grilled cinnamon stickies and ice cream, well I am hoping it would smell something like that!
Those are per month, in MXN, right? I only ask because the page on average US salaries notes that they're in USD, yearly. Leave it to us assholes to steal your money symbol!:P
I live in Pennsylvania, where the drinking age is 21 (the Feds don't set the drinking age, states do. However, if they set it any lower than 21, they lose highway funding).
Beer is sold by private companies here, and most have signs that say "If you look under FORTY, be prepared to show proof of age."
On the other hand, here in PA, the state is the only entity permitted to sell bottled liquor and wine. The sign on their door? "We don't serve teens!" - Apparently, and I'm pretty pissed I missed this, you can be 20 and buy liquor. [/sarcasm]
I've gone to bars in college towns and been asked to show not just my driver's license, but 2 or 3 other forms of ID just to drink a BEER. I only had to show two to get a passport, and one didn't even have a photo or even physical description of me!
Wait, what? Domestic violence groups are pissed? I can't understand why... its bad to know when the abusive boyfroemd calls? Or is it bad for the abusive boyfriend to know that the reason he hasn't gotten sleep (and has henceforth turned violent) in a month is because his girlfriend's lover has been calling his phone all damn night from a blocked number?
Actually, to try and get you on a double whammy, they do both. Pending balance counts as your "real balance" and check card holds (like when I get gas and they check to see if there's $50 in there) count against that. On top of that, they re-order transactions when they post to go from higest to lowest. It's a feature, not a bug, but they say its so that higher-priority transactions go through first so they don't bounce (they don't ever bounce)
Dude, it's the fucking turnpike. You only get what the Turnpike Commission says you get. Ever wonder why the service stations only have Sunoco gas and Burger King fast food?
The iRadio app on iPhone can play SHOUTcast streams over the cell network. Pandora works on the iPhone. In the Windows Mobile world, SHOUTcast streams are natively supported, Pandora doesn't work. Check out TUNED.mobi or The Mobile Stream Center. There's a lot of "PDA Only" terrestrial radio broadcasts there (that is, they expect you to be a wireless PDA user to use the stream).
Maybe for a STATE policeman, but roun' here in PA, the local cops need 30 credits to have a gun, then they can have their $9.50/hr job.
Local cops patrol my student housing development, and I guarantee you that each and every one of the second and third shifters are absolute dimwits. Obese absolute dimwits, at that.
Add M&T to that list of people who finagle the order of transactions to maximize your loss!
Example: Friday, I had $50 in my account, made 4 $10 purchases. On Saturday, I made a $50 purchase, overdrafting by $40. What is my balance, kids? -$10? WRONG!!
Friday night: $10. Saturday night: -$40 Monday Morning: -$180. All your purchases on Friday went through, but when we went to "take out the money" that we were "just holding" it "wasn't there" because "you spent it on saturday". Therefore, 4 transactions overdrafted at $35 a pop,
That's really your proprioceptive sense (body position relative to itself). If you roll your tongue up in your mouth right, it feels like you punched a hole in it and can touch your palate.

Funny, that graph is the same graph for my ability to bring a girl back to the apartment!

Already using 3.0 Beta 2, MMS works fine, and sending multiple SMS messages has /always/ worked just fine. Bluetooth A2DP works too, FTW!

How many CDMA carriers are there?
Sprint? Verizon? Alltel? Oh, wait, Alltel's Verizon now.
Two choices for CDMA, and yo' shit naw gonna work anywhere but fuckin' Canada!

Yeah, earmarks aren't bad, and here's an example:

Just where do you go to school at?
More like five seconds! I didn't know the connection either, but now that I looked, I remember being taught that in some physiology class.
Why can't I just write "Works Cited: Fucking google!" as the last page to all my papers?
Those are per month, in MXN, right? I only ask because the page on average US salaries notes that they're in USD, yearly. Leave it to us assholes to steal your money symbol! :P

Good lord, don't get sucked in by the Qualcomm MSM7200A. It's no better, graphics wise, than a TyTN II (which I have) or your trinity.
