    and used to be quite active. Auto racing, rock climbing, running, all the usual stuff. Unfortunately I recently fractured two vertabrae and that caused my latent arthritis in my hip to be on continual flare up, at times leaving me pretty immobile. They won't give me any more painkillers, and I can only drink so much alcohol before that starts to impair my walking ability ;) In all honesty, I would LOVE one of these so I could move around like a normal kid again.

    but if your bike is on the street with a big sign that says "available for sharing" then I can use it as I like.

  10. Re:Who else noticed... on State of the Onion 7 · · Score: 1

    I'd say it's because of the heavy use of slides. Some people DO still use dial-up.

    Not me of course, can't catch me dead using a phone for my internet...unless I'm lost in the middle of nowhere and connecting with my cellphone, in which case I'll likely be dead soon.

  13. note my email address on Is the Seeking of Lost Skills/Arts a Hacking Analog? · · Score: 1

    I do as much as I can myself. fixing the car, cooking from scratch, building a kite, etc. In the boy scouts I forged my own knife, caught my own rabbits to eat while on the trail, fetched and purified all my own water, built my own shelter each night, to list a few. Hacking is indeed a lifestyle and not one to be taken for granted. Think of how many pinks out there can't even fill up their gas tank, let alone work the tivo remote!!! It will pervade every aspect of your being and drive you to do things that most people will say you are stupid for bothering when you could just pay someone to do it with a guarantee. To paraphrase "Tommy Boy", I can shit in a box and guarantee it if it will make you happy. Doing things myself from scratch is what makes me happy. Maybe that's where I get my sense of personal responsibility too.

    cost for subselects and triggers? oracle?? We use postgres in my shop and I _love_ my subselects and triggers and plpgsql. the table inheritance is quite useful as well.

  17. my english101 on Search for the Missing Universe · · Score: 1

    paper from 5 years ago about dark matter was more informative than that article. This thing reads like it was written by a mouthbreather -- one too stupid to close their mouth and breathe through their nose.

  18. friendster.com on Meeting Locals over the Internet? · · Score: 1

    is a cool site. everyone that you can see on there can be vouched for by someone within 6 degrees of you, local or not. not specifically what you asked for, but close.

  19. sierra text-based games on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    king's quest, space quest, hero's quest (and quest for glory), and police quest. Nothing beat that part in space quest where you had to type 'shoot robot' before you walked across the screen so you wouldn't get shot while trying to destroy the reactor. All those point-and-click fancy graphics leave nothing to the imagination. Hell, I still enjoy firing up zork or the old hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy game.
