Actually, I'm currently working with a guy who supervised the running of fiber around DC. This was still pretty new, so his lead engineer said just bundle it with the 375k(357k?, I forget) line (the big towers). He asked, what happens if we get a lightning strike? "Ah, donno." So he made them run separated orange tubing (a good foot separation from any other conductor) with fiber inside so it wouldn't suffer arcing damage.
So running fiber around high voltage is not crazy, as long as you plan it before-hand.
The stat I keep reading is one particle (or atom) per cubic centimeter. And no, I'm not even going to eyeball it to see if it comes close to your number; not that I disagree with you, space is about as empty as the proverbial blonde cheerleader.
One question, though- what would the mass be if the sun just happened to intersect that pipe from the earth to Centauri? (hint, joke)
When the ass keeps claiming that the 3rd game in a series was the 1st, this guy is justified in whacking him. And go fuck yourself, too, either you know games or you stay on the sideline, junior.
I can't even think of a rational way to respond to this. The first thing that popped into my head was "let's go rip the cops nuts off". But no, if you DO annoy them, they will arrest you before the guy who took the purses (yes, personal story- I "interefered with an investigation" by giving them more info then they wanted.
because they are so great as to make love to pigs, and the wonder that is that love. My ring makes short people pee in their pants. My friend HAL fucked himself and I got thrown into some blackhole shit.... not real fun, by the way- do you have any idea how "God" aliens probe you first?!?!!?
Wait, AOL wants to give anal love to more subscribers?!? Well, hell, what reasonable would not WANT THAT MUCH LOVE IN THE anal love canal??!?!
I can understand this argument in a case with little info to go on. But the Mac guy handed the cops all the info on a silver platter! It sounds like he gave them enough info that they could easily get a search warrant.
The commercial for "Tremors: The Series" looks like a cross between the 1st Tremors movie and the "Dukes of Hazzard". The Dream thingy commercial is a bunch of women talking about how they have lesbian dreams. Stargate and Farscape seem ok, so far.
Overall, though, Sci-Fi is really turning into Shit-Fi. I didn't mind the horror movies as much as everyone else, since I like horror movies, this past Tuesday I stayed home 'cause I was sick, and all that was on Sci-Fi was 1 mystery and 2 thrillers, with only a minor sci-fi tie in.
Long have the days of petitioning Sci-Fi to re-up Bab5 or Crusade gone past.
At one point, it was Linux vs. Windows. Viscious(sp?) fights between the 2. Both sides made fun of Macs.
"Everyone is used to Windows." "Linux is better but everyone is used to Windows, and everyone needs to use Office."
OS X comes out... and now the *nix people are kinda ok with OS X (not quite as good, but hey, it's pretty neat), but the Windows people are in total "Macs suck no matter what" mode. "Not only do they use slower CPUs, they also use inferior plasitics in their cases!" "And they smell funny, like wet emus!" No mention that the Macs still can do Office.
Now in this article we have people saying the only reason that graphics/publication people are "still" using Macs are because they are "used to them, and everyone is used to xxx (I don't know what the top pubishing packages are)." Ok, so it's ok that everyone uses Office, but in the pub industry using xxx is bad, somehow?
Good stuff. But one difference that I would note- as a suburb kid, when we went camping, we called toilet paper "AP". I guess suburban kids don't use bandanas a whole lot in those ways, since we always called them "bandanas".
Just wanted to say that for whatever little worth that merits.
First off, I thought the article was just dumb. But I would like to know what you think is good childrens' literature, and why it is better then Potter. I'm serious, you did give any examples of what is better, so I would like to know what you think IS better.
Just wondering- is this Kerberos server running the regular Kerberos or the MS version of Kerberos? I ask because maybe if they are using the MS version maybe it has a bug/flaw?

I think that was the first one. And how scary was it when the SS guy would storm on screen and scream at you to stop?! Much more fun than Wolf 3D.
Thank you, sir.
You shall recieve 1 billion "thank yous" and zero mod points, since I can't help you here.
Thanks,

Fuck all you cops out there.b

You people are sooooooooo short sighted!
Sigh....
Nice site.
As opposed to the anti-Mac rhetoric on /.?
p0Om0nKeyS?
So what the hell do the cops do all day?

Could you kindly tell me where this reverse Russian grammar joke started? I must have missed the origin, and it's bugging me.
Thanks.

So sad.
I have been conducting a study of pounds of fecal matter to spammer based on population of spammer's hometown.
Do I get a grant now?

Are we seeing some hypocrosy here?
the Communist version?
(really dating myself here)
the Beta never got released...
>So, for $100 more than the cost of a Tivo...
>>It's a geek thing, you wouldn't understand.
So, for more money for less performance it's "a geek thing"?
Isn't this the same argument used _against_ Apple's hardware?
Interesting....
Why was this given an "Informitive" rating?
West Wing has not been canceled, and Sopranos was slated FROM THE BEGINNING for only 5 seasons, and it yet may still run past 5 seasons.
As for awards, I'm pretty sure that Sopranos and West Wing have won awards. I just don't know where to look on the 'net for awards listings.

The Bryan Empire will only let subscribers to his daily defecation witness the event. Everyone else has to pay $49.95 for the event.
10 years ago I never would have believed the above to be true, now I shudder at the fact that it may become true in the next 10 years.
I believe that our lives have become so easy that the "Running Man" may be next.

Do you wear a tin hat to keep out the secret government rays that can read your mind? Have you seen aliens, too?
Your vision of what a conservative is very, very twisted. Actually, it seems you have a twisted world view in general.
Though you do troll rather well.
Cheers.
