That seems kinda silly to me. Like yourself, I'm not married. I have been with my lady for almost 7 years. We share a household, and have for about 5 years. I haven't worried about who's money was who's in, I dunno, years. I think that this is the result of how supportive we are of each other. For example, a few months back we we're completely broke. $50 left in the bank, and I had a project that I needed to finish. I needed, well, $50 for the supplies to finish the project. I'll admit that I approached her with some trepidation, as there was no guarantee that the money would return with any rapidity.
She laughed at me, and told me to do what I thought was best. I spent the money, and made it back in days. I wonder now why I even felt any concern. She's always been supportive of the things that I need or want to do. If you can't find some one who is supportive of you, then something is wrong and you should keep looking.
And for the record, she built her own PC with my advisement many years ago. I didn't touch the damn thing once. It's not newsworthy in the slightest.
What is the rate of loss at these levels of exposure?
I spend a lot of time between 100-110 DB, and haven't noticed significant damage.. I'm not say that it isn't happening just that it's tough to monitor.
I remember being in a similar position and asking myself the same question. "Where do I go from here?"
It turns out that the answer for me was get demoralized by the tech support nightmare, get fired, bum around for a while, go back to college for something else. I'm much happier studying engineering than I ever was working with computers, even though much of the mindset still applies.
I wonder if the originator of this question doesn't need to ask himself "Is this what I want to do with my life?"
That's at least one plane that some one tried to crash into a building, five years prior to 9/11. It's a good idea that would work, causing massive damage to property and morale.
A cartoon of Ur, flipping you the bird does minimal damage, even if packed with the maximum amount of explosives. It mostly only kills cartoon viewers, and no one really cares about them.
9/11 was a successful terrorist attack if it puts the nation in enough fear to paralyze the nation over things like advertisements. Buck up and get over your fear.
Yes. When a LED cartoon character gives you the finger, and you decide it's threatening you with a bomb and call the police, the appropriate response from the police is "Fuck You."
There are a million better things to attach bombs to. Cars for example. They have a consistent usage, I.E. the car bomb. Has anyone EVER been blown up by an LED Ur?
I get my Kava from a farmer in Fiji, directly imported waka (root hairs). It's good stuff, some of the best that the Fijian's grow. I enjoy it with friends. Kava is calming, and helps deal with depression.
However, it's no replacement for alcohol. I've never once been to a wild Kava party. Never have I seen clothes and inhibitions fly to the wind with kava. It's just not the same kind of drug. Additionally, Kava tastes like dirt.
I've run several pen and paper campaigns where players solo'd, just one player and me as the DM. This allows for interesting character developement outside of the traditional group quest adventure. It also allows for play to continue when one or more players are not available.
It wouldn't be accurate, if you subsituted Kerry for Bush. I think that Kerry's biggest trouble in the recent campaign was that he complicated just about every issue to the point of obscurity. His other problem may well have been that he is ugly.
What works for your style may not (does not) work in mine.
The grandparent's method would not work well for me. I hope that there is indeed a browser patch on the way, and that it doesn't turn into an escalating battle like with spam filters.
Is it harder to find new ways to pop up a window in a browser than it is to defeat a mail filter? I suspect so, but I think that with Firefox and alternate browsers gaining popularity, the advertisers will continue to innovate.
I'm sure the Army would be happy to have you as a tank captain. Heck, they'd even pay you to drive the thing.
There is a big difference between a tank, which is designed as a weapon of war, and a piece of art in a public space, designed for display and observation.
You are unaware of the basics of metallurgy in steel, as well as of 'singing' in swords.
A properly made sword rings when tapped. This is because the fittings (hilt, pommel and handle) are tight, and do not dampen vibration. If the blade has any cracks, these will also dull the ring of a sword.
Additionally, a good western sword flexs a fair amount during cutting or thrusting. This in itself is not a positive or negative feature. However, a blade that returns too much vibration to the hand may be uncomfortable to use (think about how a bat stings your hands when you hit something with it).
The addition of chromium to a steel in quantities of over 13% makes 'stainless' steel. Not only does the addition of high levels of Cr make the steel resistant to stains, it makes in more 'deep hardening'. This is in refference to the cooling of steel from the the point at which all of the carbon in the steel is disolved in the solution(AC1, also called the Currie point, which is generally above 1350 degress F) down to below the point(MS, below 900 degrees F) at which martensite (hardened steel) is formed.
In this process, a variety of different crystaline forms can be produced. If you cool slowly, you will probably end up with pearlite. This is soft, and relitively flexible, and not at all good for blades. If you cool faster, you will end up with grains (crystals) of martensite, which is harder, and more springy (once tempered) much better for knives and swords.
Now, back to why stainless is bad for swords. Stainless is deep hardening because the chromium pins the edges of the grains (crystalline stuructures of carbon and iron), preventing them from growing when heat is applied. Smaller grain sizes lead to increased hardness. Unfortunately, the introduction of the chromium into the edges of the crystals causes them to be less strong. This leads to lower flexiblity. Lower flexility leads to swords that fail castastrophically durning use.
I'm not a metallurgist by any means, but I have made a half dozen swords, a hundred plus knives, and been studying heat treating of swords for about a dozen years. Please, spend 300+$ on good old fashioned carbon steel if you must have a sword. Heck, even get a good stainless steel sword from Rob Criswell or one of the Dawsons, but quite buying that cheap stainless crap on ebay and in the Mall cutlery stores. Support a sword smith with real talent, here in the US. There are lots of us, It's a better deal in the long run.

The Schwietzer ultimately gets its thrust from an engine, the Red Tail from flapping its nonfixed wings.
You are forgetting that hawks and hang gliders can gain altitude by soaring on thermals, columns of warm air rising from the earths surface. I've watched a Red tail soar for most of an afternoon with only the slightest adjustment of it's wings. An albatross can glide for weeks, storing energy gained from the rising warm air in the form of altitude.
I don't think that it matters at all. If you are going to eat it, I don't care how you kill it.
A friend told me a trick for catching a pig that he learned in fiji. You dig a big old pit, fill it with rotting fruit, which with attract the pig. The pig will gorge itself on the fermenting fruit, and pass out in the pit. Then you shoot it, clean it, and roast it in the pit.
I grew up in a hunting family, mostly deer in northern California. Pretty tough to sneak up on them and get a clean shot, even with a rifle. Much tougher with a bow.
However, I sometimes catch a bit of a hunting show on one of the sports channels late night. I'm appalled by the fact that the animals that they are 'hunting' appear to me to be mostly domesticated. The come comfortably up to the stand and eat calmly a 2 dozen yards from a stand with people sitting it whispering loudly for the camera. Then they get shot. I'm positive that these animals are bred, and fed near the stand.
That sounds to me like about as much fun as shooting a domestic cow from outside the fence. Pretty weak.
When our meter of skill is "black belt", we can assume identical values for skill given identical variables.
You can't assume that fairly. Not all black belts are created equal. I might get a bit of flak over this, but not all martial arts, or martial arts teachers are equal. Put a good Penchak Silat (my personal favorite) fighter up againts your standard Strip mall McDojo Tae Kwan Do blackbelt, and see who wins.
Additionally, there is a big difference between a fighter, and a martial artist. A good fighter takes a lumping and keeps getting back up. A lot of martial arts students can't take one good punch, much less the heavy barage that I would drop on you if you steped up..
Strength matters, skill matters, but strength of will wins fights. The wasp with the correct markings knows that it is in the right, and that goes a long way toward winning a fight.
I remember working out at stream international, a phone support company.
I had my eye on this cute, almost sterotypically sun deprived goth chick, beautiful red hair. I was outside smoking, and she walked by. I commented on the wonderful, unseasonably warm day were were having, and, apparently quite annoyed with me, she said, "I hate the sun!"
I laughed at her, and told her, "Tough shit. Without the sun you would DIE!"
She still won't speak to me to this day, even though I occasionally see her in one of the local resturants.
Goth chicks look great, but the goth community that I've encountered is way too snotty
We're off topic and it's more info than I care to share, but since you asked..
The sex is great, thanks.
A couple of pics may not be a threat to a relationship, but the lies that I told to cover them up were. Porn wasn't that important to me, having my best friend around was. I gave up one, and not the other, and ended up with a lady who is more confident with our relationship, and therefore..

You may not be an American, but you are acting like one. That is to say, overly paranoid.

Smuggling.
It's not hard. Slap the crap in a crate and mail it to the buyer. Just don't TELL anyone first.
I think that these folks probably lost what could have been a fairly lucrative and harmless black market adventure.

Good point. I checked games for the gamecube, not those specifically published by nintendo.

They do however, advertise that GTA is coming out for the GC at http://www.nintendo.com/gamemini?gameid=m-Game-00
They apparently aren't that upset about promoting M rated games.
