"The park is a popular gathering place for tourists, but also for the mentally ill, vagrants, alcoholics, and drug addicts. Public inebriation, nudity, and calls for assistance for unconscious individuals are common; a fall-off due to increased policing in the 1990s proved shortlived. There are a lot of drug-related misdemeanors and even minor felonies, though there have been no homicides."
Hey I'm british That describes just about any sort of park I visit
I work for a government department and there are large quantities of information regarding proper procedures for data handling unfortunately no ones allowed to read them as they are deemed sensitive data.
Not at our place. People that "lose" things do not get the newest shiney toys. In fact I have a pile of old toshibas in a store room waiting for the next idiot that thinks loosing things is a good way to get an upgrade. They don't half winge. Then their managers come down and winge. Then I show them the weblogs.
I have a nice low small car so I like all these people in their SUVs I can see under them. (the biggest problem is traffic calming bumps I have to crawl over them). Unfortunately the gas mileage I get is terrible so I had to by a prius.
Seriously, if a known criminal breaks into your house and you beat him up for this he will report you the law abiding citizen for assault, the police officer knows that he is more likely to get a better result having you prosecuted than the career criminal.
The company want me to take the tests and are paying for them.
I've managed to avoid them for a year now but I think I'm going to have to take them (that and they will give me a £6000 pay rise once completed and I have my little piece of paper saying I know how to use ms products)
I like the money and all but is it really worth having an mcse ?
it doesn't have a rotor arm (seperate coil packs and fully electronic) and it was part of the requirements for insurance to have this type of alarm fitted (hmm it's sounding even more like drm now).
Depending on where I park my car I can't start it without having to manually open the door (setting off the alarm) locate the keypad (with alarm still going) enter the keycode (police have been phoned by now) entering the keycode again when the alarm goes silent and not moving because I can't enter the keycode whilst it's wailing, then quickly starting the engine.
Then the police turn up ask me to turn the engine off whilst they talk to me (which I know will reactive the car alarm in 1 minute meaning I will have to go through the whole process again).
And this fancy alarm cost me lots of cash to annoy me.
Hey I'm in my 30s and I drive a prius. And yes it is a sofa on wheels which is great for long distance driving. However this is my second car, I would never of bought a prius had I not had a sports car that gets about 10 miles to the gallon.
Well either they are not counting the energy which is contained within the waste (likely) The submitter generalized a bit to much (more likely) Or they have invented a perpetual motion machine (I somehow doubt it).
When my friend left his last job his former employee tried to sue him (all the customers left as when my friend left so did the rest of the engineers). Everything my friend did was fully legal the customers left after the director of the original company told the clients that enquired about him told them that he was sacked. Then the old company hired a lawyer that only ever dealt with family law to take them to court. That was just hilarious. The old company is currently being investigated for corporate manslaughter due to the fact the idiots they hired to replace the engineers managed to shut down all the power in a hospital. I think my friends company is going to be getting that contract now as well.

I have changed the way I pay for entertainment. I don't, I don't pirate it either.
Only if you happen to be a programmer and have no life.
I'm on slashdot posting about the fact that if you don't like linux you can change it. it's a given isn't it ?
And if you don't like something you can change it.

In the UK you would be thinking is that police officer going to shoot me.
Because they have targets to meet.

They already have in the uk government.
I laughed at that then I thought.
Isn't taking money away from the state providing financial aid to terrorists ?
Gulp.

The goggles, they do nothing!
You could use a very deep cave or mine, however this then presents other radioactive issues.
You mean it could of been called the Triangle ?
You forgot to mention that they produce as much torque as an asmatic flea.
(Yeah I have a honda).

Also the prius doesn't have an ashtray.
Hey I like drawing 13amps at 240 volts.
I'm getting my 40 amp sockets fitted next week.
But where does the extra energy come from ? the stuff you are burning contains energy.
Well either they are not counting the energy which is contained within the waste (likely)

I will not break the second law of thermodynamics
It's virtually impossible. ...
ie in a virtual world it's impossible.
However in the reall world
