    To add to this if %item% is ALREADY AT THE STORE all Corp has to do is send a message stating

    speaking as a conservative baptist:

    1 you have my permission to post a Goat Pentagram (or similar GTFA type symbol) on your door

    (i will be waving to you from the other side of the projection system)

    3 http://www.xiphos.org/ would be a free bible study program with a great number of bibles and such (uses the crosswire format)

  8. Re:For the most part on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Electrostatic Contamination? · · Score: 1

    better trick to use is

    1 get a spare extension cord a knife and a roll of blue electrical tape

    2 cut the jacket open on your cord somewhere in the middle (where it will be noticed if you are on either end)

    3 then very carefully cut the HOT and Neutral lines and remove about 2 inches of the hot line and 3 inches of the Neutral line
    (note DO NOT CUT THE GROUND/EARTHING LINE)

    4 fold back all four ends enough to bind them with tape (cover the bare wire)

    5 tape the jacket shut

    You now have a cord that is guaranteed to pass exactly 00.00000 volts on the hot or neutral lines no matter how much voltage is at the wall socket.

    fun fact unless you have a kill switch on the PSU there is always voltage on the board

    "easy" way to deal with that is to get a Hosted Domain and then setup her email account on YOUR domain.

    you can get a just about fully open (but secure) domain for like US$110ish and have all sorts of Fun.

    Your Daughter wants a Website?? easy http://angel.intropy.org/ would take all of say 10 minutes to setup and have a Drupal base install running.

    Any business that has kids as clients has Protocols in place to deal with loose kids (does Code Adam ring a bell for you??).

    I would be in favor of the ushers having stunguns to take care of anybody making noise (loud enough to be heard outside of a 1/2 meter circle).

    But yes i would say that having some more "modern" stuff and stuff that Rocks would help things.

    A Challenge to The Beiber (or whoever the current TweenStar is) have a performance where you are backed up by The New York Philharmonic (or any series of Named Orchestras). Bonus points if you sing Live and UnTuned.

  24. RedBook Or Death!! on Music Industry Sees First Revenue Increase Since 1999 · · Score: 1

    a bit of the problem is they futzed around with cds (to do DRM) so that you couldn't tell if it was a "Real CD" or not

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redbook_audio ---- note the lack of DRM in the standard. If they decided to leave things alone then maybe folks would have bought more cds but instead the decided to play "Master Of The House" and that was their downfall.

    Now they are starting to Get It so they are getting more money.
