Hey now, I'm going to work for them this summer. I happen to think the way things work is great. I mean, you don't get an hourly salary (you get a monthly one), but you're sure to learn a lot. Plus if you're really stressed out you can walk down the hall and play pool or x-box. I get a lot of crap for going to work for them, but it's definitely going to be worth it. Besides, I look for jobs for the learning experience, not the money.
Seeing as how these things could be built near the Red Sea, which is full of salt, you'd think they might be concerned about the eerie increase in multiplication of deer.
It makes me wonder why they even bother using rockets to launch things into space when it would be much more productive and cost-efficient to put money into researching rail guns. Essentially you can launch a load into space using electricity which powers a rail gun (the physics of which cannot be explained here very well) and you don't need to pay all that money for fuel.
A. Yes, I'm a woman and I read Slashdot:)
B. Of course I like Tolkien, LOTR is awesome!
C. Definitely, I'm a woman.
>>And your boyfriend teases you with that, c'mon your a lesser goddes to most of the ppl here
I think it's cute that he calls me a Hobbit. I'm 5'3 and he's 6'4 or so. He has to bend down to give me a hug, so I guess the nickname fits;). When we go to Belegarth (a foam sword fighting group based off Lord of the Rings) practice, I typically play an Elf, but now that I have "Sting", my new sword, I'm thinking about playing a Hobbit sometimes.
My boyfriend always calls me a Hobbit, and says I live in a Hobbit Hole (even though I live in the dorms). It's nice to see that I'm not the only one out there who lives in one! My boyfriend even made me a foam sword and told me to name it "Sting."
You should display your geekdom so you don't end up scaring the girl away after she finds out your obsession with little plastic Star Wars dolls and your habit of talking to them when you're alone. The girl that likes you despite your geekiness is a true catch, don't you think?;)
Just when we thought Microsoft was down for at least another 5 years, they surprise us. But what exactly is Microsoft going to do to make us cower and throw ourselves to its mercy? I say we should encourage the smaller businesses to quietly rebel by creating new technology, patenting it, and marketing it--Microsoft can't stomp on the company because it won't know what it's doing before it attempts to create the technology, it can't steal the patent, and it will be on the market and everyone will know that Microsoft can't do everything. Microsoft has been the best, and it doesn't like being told what to do.

The first bullet describes something a bit... similar

>>Are you thinking of the Red Sea or the Dead Sea?
>>The Red Sea may have salt, but so do the other seas and the oceans.
It was a joke, haha... Deer like to flock to Salt.

I'm short, I don't overeat, and my feet are not hairy, but the nickname sticks ;).

Well, back to the Hobbit Hole...
My boyfriend always calls me a Hobbit, and says I live in a Hobbit Hole (even though I live in the dorms). It's nice to see that I'm not the only one out there who lives in one! My boyfriend even made me a foam sword and told me to name it "Sting."
