A new driver's license will go a long way towards helping that. You could easily get a NY state license, AFAIK.
I believe in order to do that I have to establish residence here... that is, live here at the same address for some duration of time, which is very difficult to when living in campus dorms.
I have this problem. I'm a attending college NYC, and have a Maine driver's license. My license was issued 5 years ago when Maine was still using silly laminated IDs (no bar codes), so the edges of the two peices of laminate are peeling apart.
You can imagine how hard it is to get into a bar when freshly 21, with an out-of-state license that's starting to come apart. Half the bartenders don't even know where Maine is, and the fact that I don't look anywhere near 21 doesn't help matters. A lot of liquor stores in NY and NJ won't even let me in the store, much less buy anything.
Not that not being able to get into bars is a huge disappointment to me, but I'm dreading the day I move out of Maine for good and have to try to get a bank account before I've established residency.

But getting hit in the head with one of these metal ones has gotta sting.
I'd be interested in seeing how many of these Duncan expects to sell. After all, professional yo-yoers are a pretty niche market as it is, and I'd expect the number of people willing to spend $400 on one to be even smaller.
Darl, you can hunt all you want, but the only thing you're going to find "down under" is the reason you've been responding to all that "aDd 5 inCh3s 0vern`iTe 6723 rusty tatamount gumdrop" e-mail.
Their interview with USGS Yellowstone scientists covers all the angles
You'd like us to think that, wouldn't you? But everyone knows that angles were an invention brought to us by the purple skinned cat-people around the same time they built the pyramids and invented the mass hallucination that is Sweden! Nice try, though.
I'm a musician, and will definitely be looking into getting one of these things when they hit the market. My band gives away demos in small quantities at our shows-- the idea is just to give people something to remember us by, so maybe they'll consider checking out our site or going to another show. Since we try to keep costs as low as possible, everything is DIY. We manage to make some pretty sleeves for the CDs, but the actual disk always looks like a POS. Right now we only have two options 1. make a pretty label that can wobble the CD or worse, or 2. write on the disk with marker or inks, which takes time and effort, and the inks usually rub off after heavy handling anyway. Neither give a very good impression of the band.
After you burn the CDROm and etch the flip side, guess what?!
You take various colored inks, fill in the etching and then wipe off the excess.
It doesn't produce actual etches in the disk. Heat from the laser is used to cause ink in the "label layer" to change color to produce an image. It would require a lot more powerful (and expensive) laser to get scratches in plastic that would hold ink.

This would make it bad for (most) insulation, even if it were very inexpensive. Nothing like nailing a picture into a wall and having your insulation disintegrate.
I go to an engineering school where the majority of students are CS majors. The director of residental life is named Eunice Ro. I'll warn her not to name her kid Mic or Mike if she plans on sending him to the school.
My whole life is computers. I have been taking apart/breaking/tinkering with/programming computers since my father brought home a Commodore 64 all those years ago. It pisses me off to no end when some slick haired little sales moron assumes I know less about computers than my boyfriend, who doesn't even understand why he needs to keep up on the latest XP patches and wondered why his computer kept rebooting after leaving it on his school's network without patches or a firewall.
I finally got fed up years ago when, while browsing laptops, some sly salesguy looking for his commission paid more attention to the guy I was with, who was about to run over to the console games section and had no interest in computers, than me, the potential sale. He instead pointed me to the dayglo ibooks and wouldn't answer any of my questions, all while chatting it up with my friend about processors. I made it very clear to his manager that I was very ready to make a pretty large purchase at his store, but since his salespeople weren't willing to give me the time of day I'd be taking my business elsewhere. About a week later I faxed the store a copy of my invoice for a $3000 custom job, plus oodles of accessories and software. I got an apology and a ~$10 gift certificate about a month later. I gave the card to my dad and optioned not to return.
and how many dreams can u actually remember after you wake up anyway, i always remember for about half an hour before the memories start to fade... i think ive lost some good ones, altho i may have been dreaming
I've found it very useful to keep a pen and a pad of paper next to my bed for nights when I've had an interesting dream. If I'm not rushed in the morning, I jot down as much of the dream as I can remember, in bullet form. If I have time later, I'll sit down and write out a little synopsis of the dream. I find that I can remember a lot more about my dreams as I've gotten better at the note-taking, and it's fun to sometimes go back and look at all the crazy things I've dreamed. Writing a few details down seems to "freeze" the whole dream in my head instead of it fading from memory as I wake up.
RIAA is using a new tactic to get their message out by spamming referral/hit lists of blogs..
Mine is getting hit by them every few days because I speak out about the wonders of the P2P..
That's interesting, because I, too, have seen riaa.com in my referral logs, and the only mention I've given them is a post stating I'd think it amusing if they sued me.
It makes me wonder if the RIAA might be spidering sites for mentions. If so, to what purpose? If it's to gauge the public's opinion of them, they have to know that most people find their tactics abhorrent.
And why spam referrer logs? Are they trying to scare the naysayers into thinking they're being watched? I think this says a lot about the RIAA's attitude towards consumers/potential consumers.
Anyone experiencing similar log "spam"? Anyone care to confirm if they are actually coming from the RIAA or just some bored kids looking to freak bloggers out?
<evil grin>
If damning evidence can be produced, I am sure some of the same places that were all over the "RIAA sues 12 year old" item would loooove to hear that the RIAA is suing some timid little college girl's personal website. </evil grin>

Maybe I'm missing something...
Yeah. You're using logic, something that's usually absent or severly defective in most of the tinfoil hat types.

This is very similar to etching print plates.

Easy. Shelve it next to the prophylactics and then wait for things to get a little *too* hot, if you know what I mean.

And do you have an invisible force field around you that protects you from getting in an accident with other drivers?

On a slightly related note, I have noticed getting a hit or to from http://www.riaa.com in my referrer logs. Should I be scared?
