Cuties at Target? Not in my neck of the woods. Here in Fort Collins, Colorado, Target has a very high ratio of scuds to non-scuds.
Scuds, fyi, are women that look like absolute babes from a distance, but once you get up close you realize they've met the ugly stick up close and personal one or two times. Original term courtesy of Wayne and Garth, see: this SNL transcript.
You used the acronym 'ISTR' twice already. Please stop using it as you confused my little brain which didn't immediately recognize it and then forced me to sit here saying things like: "I see that really..." "I say to Randolph..." "I suck toes righteously..." ... "I seem to recall!"
A friend of mine actually *did* just that at my last job. We were allowed to pick just about any name we wanted for our personal machine, and he decided on an STD. Us grunts knew about it, but the higher-ups didn't really until they were browsing the network shares to find a shared file.
"Is your computer Frisco?" "No... I think that's Patrick." "Anubis?" "No... I think that's Tom." "Avalanche?" "No, I believe that's Amanda." "..." "What?" "Alright, who named their computer Chlamydia?!?"
Revoke their corporate charters. Used to be done a lot, back in the day. I think you'd probably have to hold a gun to a politician's head to even get them to think about it, but imagine the result...
"Uhh, Microsoft? You're done. Yeah, pack your bags. So sorry, door's that way."
You do something else. If you're about to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in one subject, then you're not very far from having another Bachelor's degree in something else. Have you thought about sticking around a couple years and getting a second major?
I have two degrees, one in CS and one in Archaeology. CS isn't what I want my career to be in, but I can take my computer skills and development knowledge and apply it to archaeology problems.
I like computers and archaeology a lot, though like I said, I don't want to be stuck in the computer industry for the rest of my life (can you say: Middle management, and other un-fun things when you get old?). But I like it enough that I can take it and mix it with something else I like and come up with a winning combination.
Talk to your advisors, too. That's what they get paid for. Mostly, though, you just have to go out there and do what you want to do, money be damned.
At the Subways near me, you just have to ask them to do the classic Subway cut, and voila you get it. Am I missing something about why I need to argue to bring it back?
While you're right about the penetrating power of the 9mm, I can't imagine gangstas ever bother to calculate that out. I always assumed they used 9mm so much simply because of the cost analysis.
I have a pair of.45ACPS (Glock and Colt), a Beretta 9mm, and a Makarov 9x18, for instance, and I shoot regularly with friends who have.40 and.357Sig.
In the end, the 9mm ammo is generally the cheapest considering the size of the ammo you get. 1000 rounds for about 120$, versus 150$ or so for.40 and a more for.357. 9x18Makarov runs about 130$, and my.45ACP costs me an ungodly 240$ for 1000 rounds. Needless to say, I'm getting into reloading soon.
Now, if *I* were in a gang, I'd go pick up some Mosin Nagants (you know, the gun used in Enemy at the Gates). They run about 80$, ammo is cheaper than 9mm ammo, and the penetrating power is amazing. It can punch a hole in half inch steel from a hundred yards. Just FYI, it's a 7.62x54R cartridge. AK-47s use 7.62x39, so there's about an extra centimeter and a half of powder pushing that bullet out the chamber. Fun as hell to shoot, and if you're not wearing earplugs, you'll be deaf the next day.
Alright, so I'm severely off topic, oh well. Oh, yeah, "The One." Looks stupid, I'm staying away.

Gosh, with timely news like this, I can see why you'd be bitter than your submission wasn't chosen and a day later someone else's was. Think of all the lives that could have been saved if you had gotten the chance to see your name on the front page yesterday!!
If you're really pro-choice, you should recognize that it means that people are allowed to make choices that you don't agree with. As far as for having "damaged" babies, some people aren't capable -- financially, time-wise, emotionally -- of handling all the additional work that comes with a "damaged" baby. Are you going to force that upon them?
Some parents aren't prepared for the super-increased level of responsibility that comes along with having and caring for special-needs children. Raising kids is hard enough, but the added difficulty of raising Down's syndrome kids might be too much for some parents. You don't know their place in life right now. They made the choice they felt was right for them right now.
How on earth will the open-source community be offended by IBM giving money to the open-source project of the winners' choice?
"Well, shit, Bob! They just donated 1000$ to Samba!"
"Dammit, I'm not going to stand for this support of the open-source community anymore! That's it, I'm installing NT."
Yeah, ya pinko! If ya don't like America, go to Russia!
...
Do you complain about the legislation that prevents cigarette advertisers from hawking their wares in magazines or on TV? Probably not. Censorship is bad when it is used to block ideas from reaching people, but when you censor ads, what sort of important ideas or thoughts are you blocking? Nothing, except maybe now someone won't know which brand of jock-itch cream to buy.

Sorry, didn't mean to refer simply to the US Military and their air power, nor to imply that we developed it. I was trying to make a point that the military (particularly in times of war) tends to take a technology and develop it very rapidly.
But your points are taken, and thanks for the cool jet info.;)
I say more power to them. All things considered, they'll probably develop it better and faster than Lockheed would have. The military has a far greater budget (what is it this year? 200 billion?) and let's not forget their success with developing jet power rapidly in the 40s (with the help of the German military) and kickstarting the internet (without the help of Al Gore).

Well, then you're a fool for listening here on Slashdot ...
Aside from your post being entirely on-topic on an off-topic post, it is as well not at all un-anal retentive and pedantic.
Hay, just like this one!
