people are amazingly capable of screwing things up
No kidding. Even if the fuel nozzle physically won't fit in the washer fluid hole, somebody somewhere will still manage to spray gasoline out of their washers.
Wow, that seems high. I have a rather strong prescription myself and was able to get a pretty decent pair of glasses for just over $400 CAD at a local independent store. They have high index lenses (thin, for those who don't know glasses.. maybe not the thinnest available though I'm not sure) and I got custom clip-on sunglasses with them.
Are frames with magnetic sunglasses common still? My father had a pair a few years ago. I recently replaced my glasses near the end of last year and with all of the frames I looked at, they had to send them to a company that makes custom clips to exactly match the shape of the frame. They're not magnetic, but they work well. I did have to wait a week for them though.
Which is a good reason, but many cities "milk" this cash cow year round. My aunt lives in a Toronto suburb and if you leave a car parked on her street overnight in July you will probably get a ticket. Southern Ontario is usually around 30C in the summer, so I don't think they're gonna have much to plow.
Agreed. I've seen more than enough access "database" projects that scared me. In one case, the people who were tasked with producing reports were also tasked with gathering and maintaining the data for the reports (I can only wonder at how much duplication there was, but that's another issue). These people, being generally non-programmers were not trusted to use the oracle or mssql servers that were avaliable (i'm sure at least one of each was avaiable at this particular place), so they had constructed various multi-user Access databases, sometimes with the data file hosted on the creator's workstation. A yellow post-it makes on the monitor makes for a very reliable data server.... but I digress.
Good point, but then MS Access has (always had?) foreign keys and transactions and other relational things. Of course, if you look at it cross-eyed it will still hose your data.
I am pretty sure Zapf Dingbats is not included with Windows (only WingDings) since I don't have it. A lot of people have Zapf Dingbats, but it is delivered with a third party application. Possibly WordPerfect or some Adobe applications?

Any idea how the machine that blows the "puff" of air actually determines the pressure inside of the eye?

I would patent that, but there's already too much prior art...
Even easier: Cut off the power supply to the electric fuel pump.

But driving your nuclear sub around on paved roads wears out the hull so quickly that the manufacturer will void your warranty... :)

Not fair, but it makes "sense": 12 year old kids have parents with money, but students are generally broke.
In Canada, all of our bills are the same size. But the most recent designs include the denomination inprinted in Braille.
