Me and my friends plan to dress up as sand people and camp on a nearby mountain top with sniper rifles.:-) They'll never catch us, because we plan to ride single-file to hide our numbers.
I've been on enbrel for six months now to treat my psoriasis (think lizard man from lepar island, not just crusty elbows). It's a protein that I have to inject twice a week since taking it orally would end with my body digesting the meds. I could see genetically engineering a bacteria that could live in the intestine and produce the medicine. That would be awesome.

NASA's New Shuttle

NASA say it can carry four astronauts to the Moon or potentially six to Mars. Do I sense a problem with their math skills? Maybe another of those pesky metric conversion errors.:p Anyhow
Metric humans, like the ones in europe, are smaller than the imperial humans here in the US. So you can fit more of them in the capsule.:-D
I agree for the most part. At least it's still possible to get a prime rib in chicago that is they way it's supposed to be: rare.
I'm also really annoyed by the disclaimers that waitresses throw in when you ask for a certain temperature. I say "rare" and they instantly respond, "warm with a cool red center". Do people really send steaks back because they don't understand the scale?
Aside from the high end places, only outback seems to get it right now. Lonestar ruins their prime rib. And all the private places I've been to seem to want to serve their prime rib as medium well. I never saw such a thing until I was in my 20s. When I get a ribeye at lonestar, I used to order it medium, but I have to order it medium rare now to get the same steak.
As for the raw hamburger. The danger there is e-coli. If you're going to eat it raw, you should probably buy it by the side or quarter from a private farm. Eating raw hamburger from the grocery store is russian roulette.
I have six kids, and eight computers in the house. I agree that the best way to monitor your kids' internet usage is to keep the computer in the livingroom. For me, that's a little awkward though. So I'll be opting for computers in their bedrooms with a proxy server so I can monitor web access.
On a related note, my wife and I have had long discussions about teenage boys and internet porn. She has the typical female "not in my house" attitude. I point out that it's unavoidable so we may as well teach them correctly and control it. I've even considered a network drive with an approved porn collection to keep them away from the really bizarre stuff. It's a losing battle though. Becuase in 10 years when my son is a teenager, people will be emailing 20 mintute mpegs as attachments like they do for jpegs now. I think he's certain to receive weird stuff from friends through even it I control it.
The best solution is probably to give them good character.
Feel free to mod me as a troll, but I have to address this.
You cannot bring about peace with war.
Great, so let's all sit around hugging each other while we sing coumbaya. Maybe then the bad guys will go away. I have news for you. There are bad people in this world that will hate us no matter what we do. How do you reason with that? They don't understand diplomacy or peace rallies. They understand violence. That's the language they speak. The "War on Terror" is certainly ridiculous, but so is being an unreasonable pacifist. The only way to stop a real terrorist is to shoot him.
We need to make ID theft impossible, or at least a moot point.
I think the solution is simple. Make it illegal for banks to push the losses off on the consumer. If the bank can't prove that you made the charge or took out the loan, then it should be removed. The real problem with identity theft is that there's no financial motivation for banks to fix this problem. In fact, they probably make money from it. If you make it extremely expensive for them to ignore the problem, the problem will be solved over night.
But out of curiosity, how long have you been married?
13 years
Are you using skewed data? I'm imagining something like:
Birth to age 25, had sex with current wife 50 times, then got married last month, and have had sex almost every day since!
It hasn't changed much in 13 years. I think the only number that may be skewed is the every 6 month number, that's from when I was 21. If I were single today, it would be far easier to find a willing partner.
I'm now an IT consultant with 15 years of experience. I have a bachelors degree degree in computer science. And live in a nice house. Little do most people realize that my parents were bikers. My uncle (also a biker) came to our house to visit once when I was only 12. I was having a discussion with my mother and uncle about how annoyed I was by my social situation at the time. There was a girl who I was attracted to, but she didn't want to have anything to do with me. And there was this other girl who was attracted to me, but I wasn't very interested in her because she wasn't very attractive. My uncle offered up some words on advice. At the time, I didn't understand his words. But in the fullness of time, I've come to appreciate and even revere the words he spoke to me on that day. He said in a deep, gravely biker voice,
"Well you know, Brian, even ugly girls have pussies."
My mother was irate. And I was be bewildered. For many young men have longed for the companionship of a pretty girl, and spurned the advances of one more homely. So here is wisdom: if you ever find yourself in this situation, remember the words of my biker uncle. For what good is a pretty girl if she cannot also cook, clean, be a good mother, hold a conversation, and give you a religeous experience in bed? That is all I have to say.
They're already in compliance. You should read the disclaimers though. Every other paragraph goes out of its way to say that this isn't really 911 service. I guess the problem is that it's tied to your voip box. I could pack it in my suitcase and take it to florida on vacation. if I plug it into my mother's cable modem line, my phone number will ring there. Unfortunately, if I dial 911, I get the 911 dispatch center near my home in the chicago area. You can't really fault them for doing it. Maybe they could do some sort of ip address geographic lookup. But I doubt it would be reliable.
I'm very interested in bible translation issues. And since this is a new testament concept, how does hebrew play into this? And was the error caused when going from aramaic to greek or greek to english?

And the specs for those protocols are all written in American English.

Maybe the UK could revoke our license to use the English language?

All in one convenient, bite-size package.
Make that a tera-byte sized package.

That's a lot of masturbation.
Maybe we could all pitch in and hire an out of work TV actor to be our open source spokesperson
Yeah! Out with that stupid flightless sea bird and in with David Hasselhoff!

Don't be arrogant towards your superiors because believe it or not most of the time they deserve to be there.
In my experience, most IT managers couldn't find their ass with both hands and a hunting dog.

And the plunger is his sceptre?
I wrote this once, many years ago:
Ode to a plunger*:
Plunge away, plunge away, plunge away, plunger.
Wont you send my sewage asunder?
Unstick my porcelain throne with your wonder!
With you as my sceptre, my throne keeps its thunder!
Plunge away, plunge away, plunge away, plunger.
Wont you send my sewage asunder?
* I'm not sure if this is really an ode or not.
In a world without assholes, everybody would be full of shit.
In the land of the assholeless, the one-assholed man is king?
ok, someone needs to reply with a joke about thrones.
Sheer conjecture: the card likely has a lot of the smarts onboard.
HK, is that you?

If you don't belive me, get married.
Frequency of sex before I got married: about once every six months.
Frequency of sex after I got married: averaging once a day. Sometimes twice in a day, sometimes skipping a day.
Did you marry the wrong person?

Looks like you're trying to replace the CEO of opera with a small shell script! :-D
Does this mean... I'll finally get that lightsaber I've been wanting?
Yeah, that would be... cool! (rimshot)
If Mars had plaid-skirted schoolgirls living on it they'd have been there twenty years ago.
I guess we know why they're going to the moon.

Bling from birth?! That's the shit fer shizzle, ma nizzle!
