We wrapped a little piece of felt around the pin, and put a dot of crazy glue on it to hold it in place. That made for a nice, tight fit in the pen barrel. Speaking of hazards to the eye, I took a shot to the eyelid once - would have been my eye if I didn't close it in time.
Some might argue that "free-market" idealism goes out the window when unions get special-interest laws passed in their favor, well if the corps can do it, so to should the unions.
The guy claimed the lid came off with enough force to render him unconscious. Considering the lids to those jars weigh probably 10g at most, how fast would it have to travel to hit him hard enough to be knocked out? I'm betting at least a few hundred m/s. Wanna bet that the force required to propel the lid at such a velocity already would have blown the glass jar into shards long before he tried to open it?
One fifth is still better than the NFL, which I believe hovers around one eighth. That's half of the reason I watch hockey - play is always moving when the clock is running. Even when the clock isn't running, stoppages rarely take more than 30 seconds.
A co-worker of mine got pulled out of line at the airport. It turned out that his not too common, but not unique, name was similar to one on the do-not-fly list. Once the description and age of the named individual was checked, it was obvious they were not the same person.
If we impose the 1,500 foot blackout around homes, day care centers, schools and houses of worship, there is what, maybe ONE place to put a tower in Hempstead? Then everyone will complain about crap for signal and bandwidth. More NIMBY at work.
If he terminates, that is proof in the company's eyes that he registered it in the first place. Then he'll be handed a little box to put his stuff in, and get walked to the door.
My wife thought it was cute when the kids (44 months and 8 months) were on opposites sides of the laptop screen pulling it in opposite directions. Then she got a physics lesson in torque, and I paid for $200 a non-warranty repair.
The original hands-free law has been effect in NY since the end of 2001, if memory serves. In that time, I've heard of exactly four people I am aware of getting tickets. In a short 15 minute / 10 mile drive each way to work, I see roughly 4 people each day that ignore the law. No enforcement, no deterrent.
I bet he did exactly what was intended. He created a story that would incite the summary reader to respond. More comments = more page views = more ad revenue.

First one on Google is just the name, but 2nd is "computer associates removal tool". Makes you wonder why.....

So you're saying two wrongs make a right?

... and if his theory is correct, why wasn't that information already released to the general public?
You beat me to it. Monsanto was the first thing I thought of when I heard "patent" and "gene" in the same sentence.

I bet that SOB bartender short pours the second beer.
Trust me, Orleans County will take anything it can get. It's a rural county, and Albion isn't exactly a thriving metropolis.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it gets shot. Northern zone duck season opened in NY state yesterday.
LoRD probably reset at midnight as well. It still exists in a slightly changed for as LotGD - classic server can be found at http://www.lotgd.net/

Nice lossy format to prevent clean ripping, too.

The Afghani soldier just got a Westerner to activate an internet-enabled Symbian smartphone for him.
OK, OK, OK. Name seven, times ever, that it has paid to be an early adopter of electronic tech.

Sure, not a terrorist attack, but sometimes all you need is spark of stupidity to set off something nasty....
Interesting.. I work 3 miles directly SE of the site, and knew nothing about it until I heard a traffic update on the radio at 3:30 on the way home.

They should be able to email the owner who registered the original purchase.
They have two honorable mentions, then count down from 10 to 3.
Where the hell are #2 and #1?
