Thank you for posting about your experience. You showed lots of courage doing what you did that day and I believe doing so may, just may, have opened the eyes and mind of others who saw what took place.
If you did reply seriously, great. I now know that you are 22 years old, not 18.
A search with this info using Peoplefinders.com yields a YORK, SHEYENNE, 22 years of age, with a relative (possibly mother) named YORK, MICHELE, age 53. For only $9.95, anyone here can find out more information about this person or their relatives, including more past addresses (and more specific addresses to confirm the poster's information).

The "Torah", the laws written on large scrolls, do not have vowels on them. "Torah", meaning "Law", is the basis of the Hebrew Testament. They are copied from scroll to scroll by a scribe who needs to do it PERFECTLY - one mistake, which may include ink from one letter touching another, renders the entire thing void and invalid (and requires its destruction, no less). Fortunately, Torahs are written on multiple pieces that are stitched together (with ligaments, if memory serves) and the 'offending' piece can me taken out and replaced.
The vowels that people here are talking about are in the Chumash, a book that was created so that the Torah can be followed along with. The Chumash also contains insightful commentary from one or more sources, explaining certain ideas and translations more fully. Also, a Chumash will often have Hebrew on one page, and English (for example) on the opposite page, so that people can learn the stories without requiring Hebrew as a primary language.
The "Hebrew Testament" was translated into Greek, and then into Latin, if memory serves. These translations often contained errors that have made it into the Christian 'mainstream' ("Splitting the Red Sea" never happened, for example. It was the "Sea of Reeds", according to the original Hebrew).
The original text, in the Torah, is written without vowels. What you were seeing, with vowels, is known as a Chumash - an individual book that is used for daily reading of the Torah's text. The actual scroll(s), known as "A Torah Scroll" in english, is written without any vowels at all and has been that way for thousands of years - google "The Dead Sea Scrolls" for more evidence.
The teller is going to St. Ives, while the destination or origin of the man, wives, etc is not told. It is reasonable to assume, in this case, that unless there was a huge discrepancy of speed between the teller and the man/wives party, they must have been going in opposite directions if they were to meet.
Thus, if the teller is going to St. Ives, the man and his wives/etc must have been going in the opposite direction (or, perhaps, perpendicularly, to an undetermined destination).
While as given, this cannot be solved due to lack of information, my answer in this case is none of them are going to St. Ives except for the teller of the story. The teller isn't included in the final querry, so I submit an answer of "zero".
HP isn't lowering prices on the current stock of cartridges; instead, as they are changing to the new sets (56+57+58 and 94/96, 95/97, 99/100 low/high capacity). The new cartridges are just priced for less than what the ones for the old printers cost.
In fact, the 56 black cartridge only costs around $20 now, versus the $35 that the older black cartridge cost. The 94 black costs $20 also, and the high yield (+90% more ink) 96 black that's compatible is around $30. These are using pretty generic prices from most retail stores that sell these cartridges, of course, not any special discount or generic replacements.
I know this stuff because I'm in between IT jobs. It's amazing the stuff you can learn by taking a 'lower end' job like as a sales associate while looking for something more career oriented. Trends can be seen much more clearly when you can view industry changes from two viewpoints.

Because we all know that a guy who went into Vietnam alongside other troops, in the line of fire, fighting for his country and risking his life, is more gutless than copping out and getting a free ride protecting Omaha - courtesy of one's own dad.
Of course there are other companies that try to make everything from razor blades to condom testing equipment to cruise missile navigation systems.
Combine the condoms with the cruise missile navigation systems.. EUREEKA!:)
And thus, a new and useful product has been born. (Just be sure the razor blades don't make it into the mix. *wince*)

Probably only slightly less time than it will take for the advertising industry to hire those same slash-nerds to spell out VIAGRA and thus invent a new type of mass-media advertising - robot cone hijacking marketing.
I can see why he won't admit to having been scammed, and keeps denying that those people were scammers.
At that age and point in my life, if I were to admit that I were completely scammed out of everything I had worked for my entire life because of a scam that has been around for decades, it would probably make me a broken man.
How long can someone that age live with a broken heart?
I've found a bunch of people on the systems I used to be an administrator for - even ones that I had forgotten about. It's a nice resource for seeing exactly who is out there still, and what they're up to.
Yes, but once people hear about "government software", the most likely reaction will be the tinfoil hat style response. Granted, the source will be public, but will Joe Undergrad or Jane TA trust the government enough to have government software on their machine while they are out protesting against the possibly imminent Iraqi war?
People don't like the government to butt into their lives (unless it directly benefits them). Unless the project was funded by the government but in the hands of another body, I don't see it going anywhere.

Exactly! I don't see any falsehoods in that training program.
I was referring to the 'ability to bend or suspend the law'. After all, nothing has been done to correct that statement.
they were right?
You mean, like how Verizon is requiring all 4G devices to run solely over IPv6?

The problem isn't just a 'hostile' nation learning how to get a payload into space.
The problem is that once in space, that payload can then be dropped on any location on the planet.

There are tanks on the fifth page of results.

Excellent links. I'm in the market for a video card, and this information definately helps in my research.
Thank you!

And I previewed, too. That'll teach me to drink and Slashdot. :P

It is my opinion that, for many people, the "database" is nowhere near as full as it should be.

Given the ignorance of the media on technology issues, I'd expect the closing of that breaking news to be "cats 1 through 4 unavailable for comment."

Here's a nice site for finding your old BBS buddies and the systems you used to visit:

Feh, it appears I misread the parent to this.. it does say "funded" by the government, but not hosted by the government.
Ah well.
