Since you seem a little more open-minded than the various members of the Slashdot Drum Police, let me ask your opinion on this question: If The Who had had, instead of Keith Moon, a drummer acceptable to the SDP, would they have still sounded like The Who? Would stuff like "Happy Jack" have even come into existence? Does one need to be not-a-drummer to appreciate Moon?
And what might the SDP have to say about the drumming on "Wipeout"?:-)
You have been the victim of someone who did not enunciate clearly. The phrase is "stunt growth", not "stun". For instance, for more years than either of us have been around, people have been telling young smokers "Hey kid, don't you know those things will stunt your growth?".
When you say "they", do you mean the Executive Branch, charged with making it happen, or the Legislative Branch, which is the only one which can authorize letting the Executive Branch pledge to honor any extra coupons?
Rather than breach the drywall, which, intact, helps slow the spread of fire from one room to the next (each 4' x 8' sheet has about 8 gallons of water in it), why not remove the baseboard and use a woodworking router to put a CAT5 sized groove in the backside of it?
If you aren't the owner of the property, please negotiate this with your landlord.
You know that suggestion that you open up your circuit box sometime?
Perhaps you should postpone that until sometime when you have a licensed electrician handy to do it for you and give you a guided tour. I'm not trying to be snarky, just want you and yours to be safe.
As for a breaker "dividing" anything, what you're thinking of is actually two physically and electrically separate breakers which have been physically ganged together so that both "hot" lines are connected or disconnected simultaneously.
Since the "ground", the third wire, the bare or green wire, properly known as the "grounding" conductor, is, at radio frequencies, somewhat separated from the "neutral", the white wire, properly known in a 120 Volt circuit as the "grounded" wire (it and the "grounding" wire are tied together at the meter base only)(it's only the "neutral" in a 240 volt circuit where you have 2 "hot" wires 240 volts apart and each 120 volts away from the neutral), you should be able to insert a radio frequency signal between the "ground" and the "neutral" and have the "neutral" act as antenna, which would solve the "are you on the same leg or not" problem, since the "neutral" is common to both 120 Volt sides.
Don't know how Underwriters Lab and the National Electrical Code folks would feel about it, though, or whether it might "confuse" Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters.
Anyway, I hope it works better than those NICs that used (or tried to) the telephone wiring--Home Phone Network Alliance, or something like that.
My theory is that if the FCC (or whichever chunk of the Executive Branch is running the coupon dealie) had gone to Congress for said extra money, Congress would still be debating it.
You do realize it is illegal to hire someone based on their gender?
I suspect it's more like it's illegal to not hire someone based on their gender. Perhaps he/she is trying to hire whichever gender of which they don't have enough to make the ratio roughly 50/50 so as to keep the government happy.
As for the coupons, there was no reason they couldn't have extended the coupon program but still kept the original timeline.
No reason except all of the money allocated by Congress for the program was out in the form of coupons and no more was available and won't be until they find out how many coupons got redeemed and how many went unused and can be re-issued.
The judges should be charged with much more serious crimes.
I'm thinking it would be lovely if they could be charged with kidnapping in each instance, with sentences to be served consecutively. They should definitely be convicted of federal felony charges. Speaking of federal, I wnat to see the IRS all over this. There's bound to be some tax evasion going on in connection with that front company.
Then the bombshell landed: I was informed by Linux zealots that what I call confusion on the Linux world is a feature that they, that use Linux, love to death. This is not helping us defeat Microsoft. Why is it so difficult to get?
Perhaps defeating Microsoft is not the purpose of Linux?*

It has been my experience that no matter how good one's "google-fu", sheer chance always plays a hand.
So are you the alter-ego of jeffporcaro (1010187), or a member of the Slashdot Drum Police?
Apparently intentional imperfections are known as "Persian Flaws" (don't thank me, thank Google).
Happy accidents are serendipity (I knew that before there was a Google).
What Sheffield Labs used to do wonderfully was direct to disc, no tape involved, just a lathe running at 33 1/3 and a cutting head.

Is paraquote the past tense of parakeet?
...most of that money is completely unaccounted for.
Nonsense! I'm sure that the Bush buddies who stole it counted it very carefully!

From the description of the search and retrieval of the phone it sounds as though it was already in said uncomfortable place, or nearly so.

Well, some of us are both confused and uncertain about who or what reigns.

Parent comment is good example of the type which I would mod up if I were the one chosing when I get to moderate.
Actually that post is a good reason why users who are trusted to be moderators should have more control over when they moderate.
...if someone just bought $30 worth of food and forgot to order some fries...
Sounds as though it would have been cheaper to just give them the fries.
...and 4 conductor mini-TRS...
Wouldn't that make it a 4 conductor mini-TRRS?
Of course if they made it TRRRS it could be quadrophonic! :-)
If I put a libelous statement on a Kindle, and then read it aloud, is it then slander?
No, copyright infringement. :-)
Worse, yours is set to 10, theirs is set to 11. The delay is still 20.
Which is why only highly trained professional musicians should be allowed machines that go as high as 11. :-)
