you can get the zelda bundle for like $20 - they were giving it away free with subscriptions to Nintendo Power (subscription cost is $20) - thats how I got mine
You call my beer "yuppy beer", I'll call your beer "girl's beer". Watery, yellow, fizzy, vaguely pilsner-style American beer gained popularity while being marketed to women as men were away during WWI.
Lots of products considered 'manly' did the same - did you know that Marlboro cigarettes were originally targeted at women too? I pointed that out to a guy I know who smokes them and fliped out saying I was full of BS
Its funny to see that anything can be made fast - check out thedodgegarge.com to see a 10 second 1/4 mile K-car. It might be useful to you anyhow since he used to have lots of notes on turbo charger hookups (though mainly for 2.2L Chrysler engines, but still is informative)
Theft deals with what YOU illegally aquire. If you aquired something illegally you STOLE it. And stealing is theft. It doesn't matter if it's physical property or not. If you illegally aquired it, you are a theif
Not entirely true. Buying goods on the black market would be considered illegally aquiring something - but you didn't steal it. Buying something illegal to sell in the US in a foreign country and smuggling it in is considered aquiring something illegally (ie: cuban cigars) - there is still no theft involved there
Ask Henry Ford- when Ferrari refused to sell out to him no matter what the price
Actually, Ferrari initially agreed to sell the company to him, but canceled the deal because Ford wouldn't agree to let Enzo Ferrari still have complete control of the racing team.
I also missed some of the more common interface niceties I am used to, like double-clicking to select all of that unit.
Select the unit - then press ctrl+z and you get all of that one kind of unit. I think ctrl+s also let you select all units on a single screen, which was a wonderful feature if you had your different factories moving finished bots/vehicles to the same area. I kind of prefer the ctrl pressing to double clicking since I might accidently double click sometime and not want all of them selected
Nursing gets killed on those surveys because there are different levels of nursing. If they split RN's/LPN's/CNA's into seperate categories - The RN's do quite well for themselves and CNA's dont. You can't really justify paying a CNA a lot of money since its really not that hard to get
As for teaching - its all varies by location - in some areas pay is low because there are so many people who graduate from college in that area and want to stay in that area - so they can get away with paying low because there is plenty of teachers to pick from. Alternatives are they can travel to an area of the US where they is a huge need for them and get paid quite well. Several of my friends went to college for teaching and my mom is one - those that stayed around here where schools pump out elemetary ed teachers by the hundreds got so-so salaries, those that moved away tended to get much higher salaries
not so much urban legend - times/dates aired (all those listed were on ESPN2):
Team Challenge - June 7, 2000, 2:30 PM
Pro Tour New York - June 20, 2000, 2:30 PM
US Nationals - July 7, 2000, 2:00 PM
US Nationals Draft Challenge - July 20, 2000, 2:00 PM
World Championships - September 6, 2000, 1:00 & September 29, 2000, 1:00 PM
Pro Tour New York - October 24, 2000, 1:30 PM
Pro Tour Chicago - December 20, 2000, 1:00 PM
I've also seen some places where they said the world championships aired on ESPN2 in 1999, but I couldn't find any specific air dates
I like that they think Bo wouldn't have been anything special were it not for his video game legacy.
I hate it when people think that - since you obviously never looked at his statistics. Sure, he never had 1000 yards rushing in football (he'd join the Raiders at midseason because of when baseball season ended so would've missed the preseason + 5-6 regular season games) - but still very few running backs in the last 20 years have had as good a yards per carry average. Add to that he still remains the only player in NFL history with 2 90+ yard runs in a single game.
The other thing people forget - is that Bo Jackson missed qualifing for the 100m dash in the Olympics by only.1 seconds when he was still running track - which is one of the reasons why they made him so fast in the Techmo games. Before his hip injury, he probably was one of the greatest pure athletes of all time
nah, they probably just wanted to be able to say 'I wrote a 10 page speech' but kept coming up short even with double spacing - so the 14 point helps them get there
I do. they aren't all as dumb as people stereotype them (though there are a few worthy of the 'dumb mcse' stereotype). My brother has an mcse - but he still runs linux for just about everything, has contributed to a few open source projects, and has run just about every distro known to man - I'd think that'd qualify him as someone i should ask for help
actually, the bible does have some good old tech stuff in it, check out 1 Kings 7:23 for an example of Solomon and something he built with regards to the value of Pi. Then consider the time period he was in and that he was off by only 0.0000832
Eupoean and US (DOT Spec) cars are diffrent, so the BMW or MB you buy in the states is diffrent from the one a German will drive.
the main differences are in the bumper styling/safety rating and emissions, the rest is pretty much the exact same car.
For a good example of this - check out early-mid 80's bmw's - especially the 635's where its a pretty drastic difference in the bumpers (the US model also put out about 30 less HP) - The old 70's 2002s are also a good example of the differences in the bumpers between US and Euro models
ebay motors tends to have a lot of them cheap (with the exception of the later GT models). The 86-88 fastback type GT's I've seen go for to anywhere from $3-10k in mint condition (the $10k one I saw had a 383ci chevy V8 and a custom dash)
Toyota was kicking Nissan's ass up and down the racetrack
thats the funniest thing I read all day. The 300ZX's dominated GT racing. The IMSA GT racer with the most career wins drove even one for several years (Steve Millen)
Thats very similar to where I work - where we collect and distrubte the state surcharge on hospital bills to cover indigent care. Even now, we still issue checks for services offered in 2000, 2001, etc. The intrest helps the state pay for the administration of our department
The ISP gets to provide an additional service at no cost to themselves
I don't think you know just how much bandwith the binaries groups take. The news servers at my ISP has something like 4 gigabit interfaces each - and theres two of those servers - it would probably cost quite a bit of money for them to setup that connection for you and the network segment you are on so that you don't kill all the other traffic in the area

they dont have to take any special/extra time to crack down on them - they can check that with scripts, flag the account, and disable the modem.
nah, they probably just wanted to be able to say 'I wrote a 10 page speech' but kept coming up short even with double spacing - so the 14 point helps them get there

I'm sure they just gave themselves a license and wrote off the $699 on their taxes as a business expense ;)
should've checked out the lasermonks article from yesterday - its only $20 from them

Really? I could've sworn it was capillary action.
Pencils = graphite shavings floating around and getting into instrumentation = bad and not used (regular pens should work fine in outer space)
sorry - didnt realize that, just mentioned them since its the only part of usenet I use anymore :)
