HEY, it's not us MCSE's causing this problem! We studied those Transcenders really hard to pass those tests. And I prefer to use PowerPoint to make web pages, it's much easier to design than FrontPage is.
Unfortunately, it isn't just Hollywood. You have wackos everywhere in that state. The movie stars are the most visible, but they are just a small part or your wacko infestation. Of course the in-your-face homosexuals have to be mentioned, but also the rampantly communist college students who can't think for themselves are also a major issue.
That being said, I liked the area when I was stationed there in the military. Riding my bicycle around San Fran, Napa, Sonoma, or driving to the country bars in Sacramento and Vallejo, and Denim and Diamonds wherever that was. But that was 10 years ago now. It is a nice memory, but I wouldn't want to live there.
"he was surprised seeing all these black people in Paris, "
Reminds me of when I would watch Teletubbies with my daughter. They have video clips of kids and families, I don't know if people send them in, or if the shows makers go out and videotape people. Half of the videos are of black families. I never knew half of England was black, but from watching this show, it seems to be that way.
You didn't get that memo last week? Well everyone else did, you must have deleted it without reading it again. Just pry off the 8 key, and we'll pretend nothing happened.
I remember at my last job, onsite computer tech, when I had to go to a customer's business because they had "a problem with their POS computer system." First thought through my mind was, "Well, let's replace their POS computer with a decent one."
Your 'insightful' comment should also cover power plants, factories, all automobiles, rockets, firecrackers, and my grandmother's perfume. Imagine how clean the air was when the only things that polluted it were barnyards and volcanoes.
Now return to the 21st century, and stop whining about one minor part of the problem of 'fumes'.

"(600k accounts == 10k "real" accounts and 590k troll accounts that never got deleted.:-) "
I was wondering about this lately. How many of the 600,000+ accounts are people who actively read and post comments, how many are old accounts from people who have stopped reading/., and how many are just troll accounts? I've looked at pages for some users, and they have only posted 8 comments since 1998, or somesuch. Who really does that? and why?
Although it shows why I don't switch to metric, I forget details no matter what system I use. If I sat down and wrote it out on paper, I would have caught the mistakes. The difference in conversions from inches to feet to miles isn't the only thing I didn't visualize.
That checkbox is still there so you selectively not use the +1 bonus you chose on the other page, for when you want to totally flame someone, but don't want to lose more than 2 karma points doing it.
And actually, looking at mine just now, it says "No Karma Bonus", not specifically "No +1 Bonus" like before. So I guess we can set our bonus to +1, +2, or more depending on our karma amount. Cool.
Hey, thanks. I never knew Google had that feature. Now I don't have to go to the Advanced Search page just to get relevant results. And why is the default 10 links anyhow? Granted they think I will find what I need in the first ten links, but not always. 50 is much better.
I do that often, actually. At the same time I set it to show 100 results. I just wish I could have it set automatically. And of course, there are still foriegn language links that show up. As long as the majority of the links are English, it's not too bad. I just searched for 'magnet' and the first link if the government of Malta, which is not in english, the forth one is in Japanese, and the tenth one is in Italian.
I'm all for diversity and that stuff, but why is it being shoved down my browser's throat, so to speak.
I wish it worked better then. I hate searching for something, and nine of the first ten results are not in English. My IP address should tell then I am in the US, so why do they show me links to italian, slavic, russian, japanese, korean, etc., pages? The asian links don't even show as characters, just a row of squares. If I could have me google home page be US English by default, I would love it even more.
"Yahoo" does not occur naturally in the english language, whatever that really means.
"Yahoo" was a word coined by Jonathon Swift in the novel "Gulliver's Travels". A yahoo was a person in the land of the Houyhnhnms, but basically the yahoos were savages of low intellect. A discussion of the source of the word "yahoo" can be found here.
For the two dozen fragments that get there. Of course other pieces get to Chicago in under a minute. And depending on the winds in the jet-stream, some even reach London before the others reach San Fran.
Saw this book at WaldenBooks at the local mall. I don't care for manga myself, I just looked through it one day. It does go into a good bit of detail. The 'head' system of measuring character height you mention was interesting. (It had several characters standing with lines across behind them. I thought it was one of those height-charts the police use when they photograph someone they arrested. Confused me for a second, but good explanation followed.) I would guess the price at the $20 range, not too bad if you are interested in drawing manga.
Oh, and the manga-boobies were a neat surprise. Especially since I blush easily.

You both missed the 'execption' consonant/vowel. The 'y' is this instance is acting as a vowel.
You are so right. :^)

Wait a second. Slashdot Karma is worth 50 cents at Starbucks? Thanks for letting us know. :^)
Gems like this is why I go through my older posts. Thanks for the smile for today.
Well, I didn't say I was right....
;^) That would rock.
Yeah, I goofed. What can I say? I should have multiplied that 200 by twelve. But can you imagine riding a bike with 27-foot tires?

27-inch tire, 1 mile distance, How many revolutions?
I guessed at about 200, or just under. What was the first answer you got using metric?

It's a perfectly cromulent use of the word.
I believe hoover is a verb in the UK, not the US. Apparently the only vacuum cleaner available was from Hoover, so it became common usage.
