Amazon's Special Thank-You

Call the bookstore. "Hey, can you order title X,yan z for me?" BOokstores are 90% of the time willing to order books they dont have in stock for you, espscially the smaller ones. Yeah, its not gonna beat amazon on price or speed, but at least youre helping out someone besides a faceless corporation.
I call it bullshit artist. I can do the same thing. Discussing something with someone is easy, use your head, and ask questions and learn as you go. If youre good, they think you know what youre talking about.
Now, i would be impressed if you could walk in and redesign a reactor cooling system, or go in and be able to take over the library for a week, or win the indy 500, or deliver a baby or something.
save yourself all that time tapingit back in, save it to paper tape.
On a slightly more serious note, on of my college professors still ahs important data from studies on decaying paper tape that he has no feasble way to get digitize, and that was only about 10 years after he did the studies. (I said feasable, i know there are ways, but nothing too practiacl as i understand it.)

Ive used some keyboards that had this, and it was a nightmare, as i alternate thumbs on the space bar. Im sure id get used to it, but it was hell while i was using it.
I log into 20+ different networks and computers in a given week. i can use the same password scheme on about half, but the rest all use mutually excluseve password schemes, ie, some only allow 4 digits, some require 6 letters or digits, but exclude characters, some need caps, others disallow caps, some need at least 8 letters and a special characetr, anyway you get the idea.
The problem is, most also require a new password every 3 months, and some i dont log into that often, others keep the same one forever, some password schemes change.
Im a bright guy. I get security. I had a strong password scheme that was working, then in the course of a week, my brain jsut broke down. I could NOT keep tract of any, or remember the old ones. I still havent worked it all out. I dont know what went wrong, it was jsut like some kind of cascading failure of my brain. I think i finally hit some kind of wall in my memory. Anyone else had this happen?
Their job is to disemminate information. I am ok with reasonalbe precautions when i am removing information from library, like having a library card withe a verrified address.
If i ever encountered this in a library, i would do my best to destroy the reader, and reneder whatever software blocks are on it unuseable.
"Can't you people just accept that there weren't enough people out there who share your taste, instead of imagining some Illuminati conspiracy to keep profitable shows off the air for no logical reason?"
WEll, its either a conspiracy, or stupidity. I cant think of any other reason that applies to all the facts.
"Don't try prototyping this. Just about everywhere from ten feet up and low earth orbit, you end up with something that works like the opposite of the Schrodinger's Cat experiment; the waveforms always end up pretty firmly collapsed."
Damnit, this is the first place I've seen this documented. I'm soo sorry, Fluffy 1 thru 4, Princess, little Garfield, and Mittens.
You died for science. No one told me I needed orbital capability.
My wrist soreness disappeared in a week using this. Everyonei know who had wrist problems had them go away after using this. Get one, and try it for aweek to get used to it. I will never buy a normal mouse again.
1: Get a lawyer specializing in immagration. Give him money, let him deal.
or
2: Contact you local US consulate. Ask to speak with someone with regards yous situation. there are special visa types for this, K and V visas, which are different from standard immagant and non immagrant visas. One is for fiancee(no, i cant spell it) and one is for spouses. Long story short, there will be a crapload of paperwork, but as long as your wife dosent have amajor criminal record, and the offiicer doing the inerview dosent think the marrage is a scam, youll get her in. look up the process on the internet to figure out a little bit of what you need, at a minimum shell have to apply for the visa at teh consualte, and youll both be interviewed briefly, and shell have to have her fingerprints scanned. Also, if you are planning on doing this legally from the outset, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT lie to the consular officer or try to fake anything. If you try and scam them, and they catch you, you are pretty much fucked forever.
I deal extriemly well when it comes to a real emergency. You give me someone suicidal with a knife and a roomfull of potential hostages, a building on fire, or someone bleeding from random body parts, ill take care of the problem, and not even break a sweat. (All of which ive dealt with, ok, i got a little sweaty) You give me an "emergency" which requires figuring out what 2 layers of immediate middle managemt needs to do about a server glitch, how this affects me, what the political ramifications are, and whos ass i need to kiss to get it fixed, i start sweating and hollering for help. I think the differnce is under a real emegency, i take charge. Fuck everything else, if i am the most qualified to deal, i do it and dont worry about the fallout. Fuck you, youre wrong, im right. Unless you know what youre doing, then i let the most qualified person work and help them in whatever way seems useful. In an "emergency" theres too many layers of crap to really function and get shit done.
The key is, with deafness and sign languge comes culture, as with any language. THe parents are spreading their culture on to their child, who will carry it on.
Werre pretty damn durable. IT would still be us, the rats and the cockroaches. However, I could easily see our civilization being wiped out. See the difference?
"Officer, he broke in, and had just picked up my other gun and i was forced to shoot him!!"
Same goes for knives. THe only problem is, sadly, you can no longer just beat the crap/wound someone breaking into your house, you have to kill them to make sure you dont get sued or arrested.
woudnt it make sense to pick 10 machines at random(or something), and then do a hand count for each machine, and compare that to the electronic total? If they all match, than youre probably ok. THis is just stupid.
What riders were attached to it? When was the last time we heard about any good legislation being passed that wasnt tied into some kind of stinking crap? "OK, you crazy bastards wanna blow your own selves up, fine, just dont fall on us." Comon, do you actually expect me to believe this is how this will work in the end?
Look for the foxfire books. You cant beat them. THyre a guid to simple country living, the first one has monshine making and other things. One of them has bear hunting, starting with making a muzzloading rifle from iron ore. THey cover pretty much everyhign you need to know to start out in life and live with nothing but an axe.
THis has been known for years. Its a staple of Science ficiton, and is often used as a reason fo rgoing to the moon. THe problem is retirieving it, and sustainable fusion power.

How bout a fucking phone that works reliably first? Then you jackasses can start adding on the hamster wheels and bright shiny shit.
If it dies again, theyll replace it or im going to the better busisness folks and whatnot. enough is enough.
Dude, your wife dosent read slashdot, does she?
Dont own only one gun. Or one knife.
