    all you have to do is unscrew the antenna from the top of your car to disable the connection.

    As a matter of fact, yes I have. Ofcourse I not only stocked up on crap for y2k, but also filled eight 5 gallon buckets incase water was inturpted so things like toilets could be flushed.

    we can now clearly see how your mind operates. now go distribute all of your y2k supplies to the needy in NOLA.

    and please, for your own sake, dont go around admitting that you actually took the 'y2k end-game scenario' seriously....

  7. Re:proving a theory? on Jonathan Zdziarski Answers · · Score: 1

    the flounder's design is not required for survival. in fact, it used to be a regular run-of-the-mill 'right-side-up-fish'. the thing is, it liked to grub around in the mud for its food and being a 'right-side-up-fish' made it difficult to cruise the mud while keeping an eye out for predators. so over thousands and/or millions of years, it slowly adapted its design so it could rout in the mud with its mouth closer and its eyes looking ever upward. do you think 'some god' just created a fish with its eyes rotated around the side of its face??

  8. proving a theory? on Jonathan Zdziarski Answers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    i always find it laughable when 'intelligent' people counter the 'theory of evolution' by rolilng over with a statement like:

    "I find it very ironic to be flamed by anyone who thinks I'm an idiot for not believing in a theory that's never been proven by scientific process."

    since 'the theory of evolution' falls under the Scientific definition of theory...

    a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena

    here is a good one Jonathan, explain the 'flounder' w/o using evolution as a base...

    i have had my 20gb iPod for almost 5 years now and have never had to replace the battery. in fact, it still gives me 6-7 hours of reliable playback. so i havent even spent $1 on batteries for it...

    also, i now have linux installed as the default OS instead of the appleOS. makes a huge difference, and now i can play chess and tetris on it....

    Also, we bought my sister an iPod Shuffle for her birthday back in Feb, and it's dead now. I'm guessing it's battery, good thing it's under warranty.

    yeah, that is what warranties are for...

    don't know when the 'last one' was, but this one was somewhat recent and quite far reaching:

    "LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Facing "major cuts" in salary and benefits, nearly 70,000 grocery store workers -- ranging from cashiers, to meat cutters, to pharmacists -- went on strike in southern California late Saturday, after failing to come to an agreement with their employers, according to a union spokeswoman.
