It's not like people think, "holy crap, I'm a handsome, well built; oh darn, there goes my interest in science and my IQ got divided by two!".
Well built and fit-as-hell actor Dolph Lundgren holds a masters degree in chemical engineering. He was also offered a Fulbright scholarship to study at MIT. He turned that down to pursue a career in acting.
Is it just me or does there appear to be a US specific mantra that a lot of people chant on this website that in order to have something useful between your ears you simply CAN NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be in good shape, or in this case "poor guy, he's got muscle tone, he probably needs help doing simple additions".
Why not just carry the world's shortest crossover cable (a buddy of mine did this when he had absolutely nothing to do, mapped individual wires into each of the two RJ-45 plugs forming the worlds shortest crossover cable.
Then he simply carries this with him wherever he thinks he may need a crossover cable, and one female-female RJ-45 socket. That way he can transform any cable into a crossover cable.
I too have the VHS copy of Dune, I also baught the DVD when I noticed it in a store rack one day.
Watching the DVD was like watching a whole different movie. Where the VHS had simply cut the sides off, the widescreen version on the DVD really showed you the full picture.
Instead of saying "Busted!" and punish accordingly (since this is a kid, I'd say returning the stolen item, a written apology and a couple of weeks of being grounded would be punishment enough) you would rather let the kid get away with it, and possibly pursue a career of crime in the faint hope that the kid will IN THE END think "hey, you know... maybe stealing isn't such a good idea after all".
I don't know about you, but I'd rather skip my 10 fold of goodness in the end than let the kid get his 10 fold of evil in the end, when I can easily prevent it, as in this case.
What if the kid was stealing this to finance a drug habit? Wouldn't it be smarter to spot that in the early stages? Or would you rather wait until the kid ends up in the gutter?
Evil habits such as this one are only broken in the early stages. If unbroken, they will only grow stronger and stronger and harder to break.
Now, I don't know of what faith you may or may not be, but it always makes me sad when people use faith to excuse their bad choices, choices that could very well save lives in the end.
Pardon me for asking, but how the hell do you expect the kid who stole it to "get it" in the end if the he isn't held responsible for the theft and punished accordingly?
The only thing you're teaching this kid is that it's OK to steal if you get away with it!
When the US military wants to kill specific people, it usually makes use of anti tank missiles instead of rifles. When they wanted Muhammad Farah Adid dead, they used 60 TOW missiles to decimate the building they thought he was in.
I don't know about you, but I'd say it's a bit harder to call 60 TOW missiles on a desired target as an accident than it is to "forget" to mention something to grunts at a checkpoint...
Two obvious things that spring to mind are "Where the hell are you going to park the damn thing?" and... "Why on earth use the highway and car, only to spend an hour hunting for a parking spot that'll set me back a considerable percentage of my daily earnings".
Relax, obviously they haven't found the Answer yet. Otherwise the universe would once again have been replaced by something even more bizzare and inexplicable.:-)

Once IPv6 support has been installed on XP, it plays nice with radvd broadcasting.
If you sweat like a pig during a nice and slow 30 minute walk, then maybe it's a sign that you should exercise a bit more.
Err... So?

And it looks like you need new glasses.
It read:
ONE PLUS THREE PLUS THREE PLUS SEVEN EQUALS FOURTEEN.
It did not read:
ONE TIMES THREE TIMES THREE TIMES SEVEN EQUALS SIXTYTHREE.
Mainly because that was 5 years ago, way before ThinkGeek carried this in stock. :-)

Yes, but like its other BSD siblings, NetBSD is dying.

Linux is not.
Well, ... there's this checkbox that people can check during install, something about "anonymous user statistics" that connects to the Internet.
You can disable that in Options->General Preferences and uncheck "Allow Winamp to report anonymous usage statistics".
I saw it connecting to the Internet a few times this one time, it stopped doing that after I unchecked that box.

Ahem ....
This page says that you can sync everything with the Exchange server pretty much everything that Outlook can.
Or does that apply only to Exchange versions after 5.5?
So, then limit the free access to people who make purchases of X dollars...
It's just a matter of finding a line and sticking to it.
Who said anything about Bubba in the federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison?
Confront the kid! Confront the kid's parents! Do Something! Whatever you do, don't do nothing at all!
There's more to punishment than prison or filing charges.
Like other cancers of society, the habit of stealing is best broken early on. Otherwise it will spread.
So, let me get this straight ...

You are about to be eaten by a grue.
A better paraphrase would be:
Only steers and XPers from from Microsoft!
You don't look like much of a steer so that kinda narrows it down!

Ah, yes.

why not just use \t?
That way you could all be happy by having your editors set the preferred number of spaces in a tab.
Depends ...
African or continental swallow?
And in the end it'll all be bought out by Pizza Hut (or Taco Bell, depending on the version).
So, when you say "army", you really mean EA Games?
