That's just what happens when you install the.NET framework. Apparently you have to run as an administrator to use some of the.NET controls. Solution: Make a.NET account with administrator privileges.
I care about space. I want to go into space. I'm thrilled by the idea of space exploration and space travel.
But we're not sending anyone out into space, except for a few astronauts and a handful of billionaires with $20M to blow.
We haven't been to the moon in a very long time. We should go back. We stepped out into the solar system, then gave up, packed it in, and moved back into our mom's basement.
We can get to Mars. Why not go there and take a look around? That sure as fuck would be exciting.
I think the space station is boring. We've built them before. It's got room for a dozen people. Ooh. Let's explore this tube we built on earth.
I was reading the paper this morning. I read an article about how a laptop with confidential ministry information on it went missing.
I had the same thought as you. Encryption is solving the wrong problem. Why on earth should the laptop even have this information on it? Secure the data in a few central locations, use some known secure protocol to access the information, and then you don't have to worry about the laptops.
It would be way cheaper to maintain and keep everyone's data up-to-date.
I started programming when I was 8. My daughter will probably start sooner than that.
She can use a mouse. She can play several of the Curious George games on PBS kids - without assistance. (We have to navigate there, but she can select games from the list and choose the ones she likes the best.)
Oh, she's 2.
Her younger brother will also learn how to use a computer. Right now he's working on "crawling".
The problem is this: Drunks pissing in doorways. Not the homeless - drunks stumbling around after a night at the bar.
Now, this is Victoria, and the mayor has realized that if they want to install a $75k urinal, then he's going to have to pay for it, and that means it's never, ever going to get done. What they have now - and what they will continue using for all time - is temporary urinals that don't hydraulically move. They will get hauled away by the public works staff every night.
As for "drug use", another article in the TC (The Victoria Times Colonist) revealed that the problem with drug users and prostitutes is exaggerated. IIRC, they account for less than 1% of public bathroom traffic.
Here's the rule with time travel: Have fun, but don't get caught. If you make the papers, we'll simply deny time travel to you, which means you won't have the chance to get caught.
Wait until the street is empty. Climb up to just under the camera and take a picture.
Attach the picture to the camera so the camera sees only the picture. They'll just record an empty street all day. (That's why you waited for the street to be empty.)
Exactly right! All that crap that Best Buy wants you to buy is just crap.
There's nothing I could want from anyone I know. Hell, they put up with me for another year, and that's the best present I could ever possibly hope for.
Usually I call Dec 25 "Gift Day", but an Iranian employee here calls is "Kissmas" due to his accent. I thought that was rather cute and I think I'll adopt that this year.

We've only had it on the books since 1960, so it may not have trickled down to your neck of the woods yet.
When the company says, "sign this or you're fired," then you're signing under duress. They are threatening you with loss of income, and perhaps loss of housing or spousing.
That's the point - if the contract says stuff like, "as a condition of employment, you gotta sign" then it's not a valid agreement. (This depends on your jurisdiction, of course.)
The guy should wank at home, though. Who would want to use his office / chair next? Yuck.
Yeah, I've heard that there are jpg images on the Internet.
Imagine - just for a moment - that they got even a hundredth of a cent for each jpeg. They should be sitting around a pool drinking something cold and alcoholic like the mp3 guys.
I'll never change my number - it spells something cool. Since this is/. and it's full of idiots, I'm not going to say what it is.
What I do, and what I suggest your aunt does, is accept the calls and take the orders for the food. Tell them it will be ready for pickup or arrive in 30 minutes. They'll never call back, and if they do, that's when you pretend they never called and explain it's a private residence.
I hope that you read this. You are going to get into trouble.
Condoms do not work as well as The Pill. That is quite incorrect and a common misconception. Each method of birth control has a percentage chance of failure based on complexity, user requirements, and type of barrier. The Pill has a very small percentage of failure - something like 1%. Condoms have an 11% failure rate. Check out the FDA's list:

That would be FF IV on the good old NES.
FF II was a very different game which came out for the NES.

It's all perfectly simple.

They're giving away a bunch of crappy old titles that nobody plays anymore. They're not even including KotOR2!
They're just trying to convince you to buy a copy of SW:G and sign up for the service.
It's junk. It's garbage.
Thanks for the tip. Pity it's required on FF2.
Uh, no.
He knows about hurricanes.
The first rule of hurricanes is "Don't live in a hurricane zone!"
Yeah, I was expecting a Funny. I don't think it would actually work.
Oh well.

Canadian Bill of Rights.
The Bill recognizes the following freedoms:
"1. It is hereby recognized and declared that in Canada there have existed and shall continue to exist without discrimination by reason of race, national origin, colour, religion or sex, the following human rights and fundamental freedoms, namely:
1. the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof except by due process of law;

It also states that no law - unless it expressly says so - shall be interpreted or applied in a way that violates the rights recognized by the Bill.

Either way, thanks for the setup. Comedy gold.
They also want someone willing to work 50-60 hours a week.
