I would argue that you can neither prove nor disprove the existance of a supernatural creator. Depending on your perspective, there is just as much evidence for one view as the other. Not a troll - just saying that you can't prove the unprovable. Nor can you disprove it.
Gasoline and a thickener. So soap and styrofoam work fine. Never tried OJ. Cornstarch works too. Napalm is basically jellified gas.

I am a conservative. I don't think that *everyone* is where they are because they deserve it; just that there is a definate relation between action and reaction. So not everyone is in the position they are in because it's what they deserve, but they're not all in it because of bad luck either. I'm a firm believer that overall, hard work will improve your situation.
I think that getting stopped has a lot more to do with luck than look. I'm a 29 year old white male that more often than not looks like your standard business traveller. Notebook computer, conservative dress. Yet I don't think that I have ever *not* been stopped going through security. Of course my luggage also frequently doesn't make it to the destination at the same time I do, and the planes I'm on have a tendency to have failure shortly before takeoff requiring me to take a different flight.
There's a concept of personal privacy called a reasonable expectation of privacy. For instance, you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy if you are in public, but you do if you are in your own home. I would say that putting your meal preference in Expedia precludes any reasonable expectation of privacy.
By using very low frequency electromagnetic radiation -- the waves way below radio frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum -- he [Eldon Byrd] found he could induce the brain to release behavior-regulating chemicals. "We could put animals into a stupor," he says by hitting them with these frequencies. "We got chick brains -- in vitro -- to dump 80 percent of the natural opioids in their brains,'"Byrd says. He even ran a small project that used magnetic fields to cause certain brain cells in rats to release histamine. In humans, this would cause instant flulike symptoms and produce nausea. "These fields were extremely weak. They were undetectable," says Byrd. "The effects were nonlethal and reversible. You could disable a person temporarily," Byrd hypothesizes. "It [would have been] like a stun gun."
Not really. I recently moved and of course had to change my address with credit card companies, mobile phone, bank, etc. They asked for my new phone number, I told them that I didn't have one, and to put me on mail correspondence only. They have no telephone on record for me ergo they cannot call me for any reason at all.
It's people like you who perpetuate gender stereotypes
No it's not. It's the very specific group that I mentioned above. If you re-read my post, you will notice that I mentioned "my school", and that I was specifically *not* generalizing. This was in fact *my* experience at *my* school during the time that *I* went there which was like 10 years ago. My sister graduated quite a bit more recently which is why I mention that male engineers were getting dick-all. In case you hadn't noticed, it is relatively difficult to find a new job these days.
Tell the companies that you deal with that you want to be put on "mail only" or don't give them your phone number at all. For example, I didn't have a land line for a while (until I got vonage which is great btw), and when I dealt with my companies, I told them that I had no phone. In addition, I did not want to be called, ever. FYI - this even works with the collections calls.
1. Quite a few people refer to females in college as "girls". Especially those of us who graduated several years ago. Ever heard the expressions "High school girls", "College Girls", etc.?
2. I don't know about anyone else, and I'm certainly not making a generalization about a female engineering population from a school that I've never attended, but at my college, there were quite a few girls/women/females/other non-objectional term who were attending strictly for their MRS degree.
So societal, parental, whatever, there were very few serious engineering students at my school. Companies too have a difficult time finding them to hire. For example, my sister (Industrial Engineer) was getting actively recruited, signing bonuses, the whole nine at a time when male engineers were getting dick-all.
It would seem to me that they lose even more on an unsold unit.
OK. I've seen this kind of/. logic quite a few times. So here goes my karma to offtopic.
Basic economics people. This kind of logic assumes that they have already built and purchased all of their units. Don't you guys think that Microsoft has some sort of inventory control? They don't build millions at a time and leave them sit around waiting for a sale. They build enough at a run to cover their projected inventory needs for Time Period X. If they had built all of them already, there would have been no shortage around the Christmas when they came out.

Looking for pricing? Here you go. Of course, you will probably want to look at exactly which drive is which first.
Right now, several Google engineers are thinking "what the hell are all these searches for 'pictures of mountains'?"

That's not true. Fire one of these up.
