They did that. Problem was they kept melting into little puddles.

I wonder how many parents are going to freak out with that full-frontal crotch shot Milla gives us near the end? I mean, it's quick, but it sure is fine. Yes, it's an R rated movie, but you don't see short fuzzies in most movies.
The ice that is already floating on the surface of the ocean will not cause a rise, just as the parent story illustrates. The problem would come (if it comes) when and if a large floe of ice actually comes off the Antarctic continent and goes into the ocean. Lots of people seem to be forgetting that there really is a continent under all that ice down south, and the pretty ice cap isn't just floating on the surface of the ocean.
I saw someone illustrate their 'point' by having someone fill up a cup with ice and then top it off with water to show that the water level drops. All well and good, except that the proper experiment would have you filling up your bathtub to the rim, then dumping 100lbs of ice on the edge so it'll flow into the tub as it melts. I don't think you'll see the water level drop.
At the risk of becoming utterly flamed to cinders, I took the Win2k Accelerated exam because I already had the NT4 MCSE. I actually prepared for it, and I was in and out of the testing facility in less than two hours. There were four other people in the room I was in when I got there, and they were all still there when I left. The guy at the desk said that he was surprised I passed, since he'd only been seeing about a 20% pass rate at most.
That said, the tests themselves are pretty easy, as long as you've actually been using the tech. If you are doing the tests individually, which you'll have to do now that the Accelerated exam has expired, just make sure you've actually studied the material and done some hands-on. I've heard varying reports on how difficult the various exams are, but that shouldn't matter as long as you're prepared.
When I worked at Barnes & Noble in the mid 90's, we'd get those massive rubber bands which bound up misc. parcel shipments. Those were about the size of what you describe, maybe a foot long at rest and maybe 1/2" wide. You really couldn't pull them tight even if you spread both arms.
Rather than zinging people with them, we'd have skills tests with them. I got really good at banking them off an air conditioning unit in the rafters 30 feet overhead, draping the band over a rafter, then shooting it down with a followup band. Harder than you'd think. We'd also twang Coke cans off piles of boxes at 20 paces. Those were the days (of no money).
When you get into issues of sports figures, the common wisdom of supply/demand seems to go out the window. The only real value a sports figure has, whether he is Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, or Michael Vick, is that they put butts in seats and eyes on TV screens. If it can be argued that A-Rod enriches the owners of the team and the city and the networks, ad infinitum, to a degree of X, then he should be getting a percentage of X. That percentage, of course, is negotiable, and would seem to depend on how many butts and eyes can be attributed to a given person.
Yes, it can be said that this job of raising revenues is still an issue of supply/demand, in that there is only one of each of those sports stars out there, but it is more than the issue of simply saying "There are X people qualified to do this job, and it takes this much preparation, therefore it is worth Y". It is a lot of intangibles that go beyond simply an ability to catch a ball or make a dunk.
It's already been said, but I think I love you. I have a problem with authority myself, and I love to tweak people 'within the rules' as much as humanly possible.
I dunno. I live in coastal Florida and work for an ISP. We get a lot of 'snow birds' from Canada, and it is not uncommon to hear them say both 'aboot' and 'eh?'. I won't dispute your word, but I wouldn't figure blue-collar people would typically be able to move to Florida for four months during the winter.
The person is probably referring to Rebecca Schaeffer, who played on the TV show My Sister Sam. She was killed in 1989 by Robert John Bardo, who got her personal information indirectly from the California DMV.

I'm glad someone else has noticed that Long John Silver's seems to be a haven for idiots. I go every weekend and get fish for my family, and for the last THREE in a row, it has taken me an hour or more to get what I ordered. Last time, it took the clerk three tries to enter my order, and when he screwed it up the manager had to come in and do it all over again anyway. Man, if there was anywhere but there to go, I would...but I exact my revenge by logging complaints. One of these days they'll get a good employee...and it'll be nirvana for two weeks until they go work somewhere else.
You would have to put a huge amount of effort into doing this. The thing that keeps this from being a big problem is the fact that only one positive feedback can result from any given buyer-seller relationship on Ebay. In other words, if I buy three items as separate auctions on Ebay, I can only give the seller a net 1 positive feedback. I can certainly submit a positive for the other two transactions, but they aren't counted in the total. So, you'd have to go thru the trouble of setting up a separate ID for every single feedback point you got this way.
I'm so glad that they are shown as spearheading the fight to get rid of these absurdities. Not only are they my favorite band, but they also seem to be clueful of internet sharing issues and want to be fair to themselves and their fans.
First time I saw one of these, it occurred to me that they ought to be marketed as golf carts. All you'd have to do is provide a place to attach one of those little two-wheel carts for your bag, or else put a place where you could sling it to one side, and you'd be set! They fit in the average large trunk or minivan, and they appear to be easy on the grass. I want the first Segway golf cart vendorship...hey, Dean! Give me a call!
Eh, I had a Richard's Topical Encyclopedia printed in 1966 that said that supersonic flight was impossible. Considering the SR-71 was flying then, I guess they didn't do their homework much.
Not to mention the X-1, which exceeded the speed of sound in the 40's, if I recollect.

I'm almost positive as to the first one, but the last thing could be FU-ka, FYU-ka, or maybe even something I didn't anticipate. Tell me how close I got.

Maybe he's talking about religioustolerance.org. Not sure, but this is the first thing I came across.
It's reverse psychology. They are trying to avoid the onus of the "-1 Redundant" tag.

At least if they run away from you, you don't have to find out that they are poundingly ignorant of what they are supposed to be selling.
I'm pretty sure a lot of his 'sold stock money' goes to this:

Says 24 billion so far and counting.
I always figured 'boxen' as the plural of 'box' was along the lines of 'oxen' being the plural of 'ox'. Makes sense to me.
Glad you qualified what Lycoris meant...I was just thinking "Lycoris? Clitoris?"
Of course, that was just me probably.
"But massive dis-equalities in capital (wealth) equals massive dis-equities in opportunity".
I know this isn't what you meant, but I've never had a rich guy knock me out of a job...;-)
Okay, I know I'm sheltered, but after looking at the chart, I have to ask what the hell a 'furry' is?
