The arabian (horse, not person - just to stave off the jokes) I had was sweet-natured to me (he'd even rest his head on my shoulder), but broke bones of anyone else who tried to ride him. He sent several people to the hospital because they didn't listen to me.
Aparently it was shameful that a kid could ride a horse that the big badass farmhands couldn't. But then, I'd been around him since about the time he was foaled.
Simple answer: "I am not, and have never been a defendant, member of council, prosecutor, witness, member of the jury, or spectator in a court over which you have presided. contempt of court does not apply"
Amusingly enough, that was one of the first things that I changed after I installed it (dual boot on the laptop). Out goes the green fields, and on comes a wallpaper from American McGhee's Alice.
"She is FAR more destructive to CDs than she ever has been to a VHS tape (10 CDs destroyed vs. 0 VHS is the current count)."
Mabey it's the fact that cds are shiny that really gets more of her attention. Barring that, it could be that she thinks they look like reallllllly thin pancakes =] (dealing with my ex's baby brother gave me a sense of humor about little kids)
I miss the HP Laserjet II and III. Those things were built like tanks (and must have been made out of cast iron because they weighed a bloody ton. I think the weight on one of the III's was something like 70lbs).
This is something that always got me. Most places in the United States want to get people in, shove their coffee and/or food at them, and then get them to leave as quickly as possible.
A lot of forigen countries don't tend to have this. There, cafes and restraunts are places to go, eat, socialize, and relax. There's no rush to get in and get out.
The one real exception I've seen to this in the US so far (asside from the odd restraunt or coffee shop that I've come across) is in New Orleans where the French influence still exists. There you go in or sit on the patio, have your coffee, food, or whatever and relax. You can stay there for hours chatting with friends or just enjoying the weather or scenery and it's the normal thing to do there.
Difficult classes, holding a job at the time, and outside activities can all lower your GPA. In my case, it was all three - I held a job as a network analyst (half time during the quarter and full time during the breaks), had a full class load, and had activities outside of class (including being on the university's fencing team).
To discount people just on the basis of their GPA is rather foolish since there are many things that can affect it.
To roughly quote the professor that I had for programming languages (as in the creation of) and scheem - "I find it kind of dissapointing that some of the best students I have are forced to work their way through college. It puts far too much strain on most of them."
They said that's how long they practice as a team. It says nothing about how long they play by themselves. As far as recent releases goes, Jinx lists American McGee's Alice as one of her favorites (and that's several years old).
The amusing thing is what caught my attention about her. She lists Perl as one of her obsessions (that and her music and movies lists. It's pretty safe to say that she actually is a geek).
No Brad Pitt here, but the 6'+ tall scotsmen (the maestro and I) swinging swords tended to get a lot of people interested in joining. Most of them were female. go figure =]
Calculations are invaluable when done correctly. When they cause doubt and undue delay, however, they can be crippling (This is where the point of knowing both yourself and your enemy comes in). But that is yet another difference between a superior strategist and an inferior one.
I tend to agree in that modeling a program in a meaningful way is useful. As a general rule, when I start working on a project, after I have gotten the requirements, I begin breaking it into discrete sections (for example - gui, network, database, etc), and then break those sections into sections until the implementation is relatively trivial.
By the time I'm finished with the rough model, I basically have a list of tools to make and fit together in order to create the finished program. Of course, this doesn't solve every possible problem in creating the program, but it does take a lot of the difficulty out of the process.
Like those of us who actually wanted to know couldn't find the info on our own? Techniques for safe cracking, lock picking, etc are pretty well documented.
That's not that strange with Walmart. They try to perpetuate their "family friendly" reputation. They don't sell any music with the parental advisory on it (all the cds are the "clean" version). They also card like crazy on movies and games (I haven't looked 17 for quite a few years, and I still get carded).
I find the whole thing rather annoying. This is why I tend to shop elsewhere.
That's part of the reason I frequented the used cd shop just off of campus. The cds were usually in new or almost new condition, and I paid between 3 and 7 dollars for most of them.
Besides that, the people that owned it and worked there were rather cool. Then again, I frequented the place enough that they remembered cds I was looking for and would set them back for me if they got a copy.
They also had a new section (which led to my getting handed a copy of a cd I was really looking forward to several days before it was supposed to be released =] ), but they were primarily a used cd shop.

Valid math problem, but counting in base 1 is rather impractical at times...
"That's like if I were to write a computer worm, then sue people who get infected by it for violating the terms under which I license it!"

So there you go - a violent vegan.
Knowledge of the suspect's movements could be used as probable cause to obtain a search warrant.
"He's either dealing or buying. He was in the drug area 4 times in the last week"
Judge issues warrant, and you get a knock on the door.

stalking, however, may.

There are still such things. look at the Hot Diggity Dogger Toaster

I want all new things. I hate old things.
Ending is better than mending.
Okay, I really need to stop thinking of "A Brave New World" when I read stuff like this.

We had a three day power outage because of an ice storm last month. I ended up reading books using my maglite mini as a light source.

And change the combination on my luggage!
To give you an idea of what I mean, I don't generally get carded at bars, but I still get carded to buy movies and games at walmart.
After a while, it just becomes silly.

Considering that a lot of camcorders now write to mini dvrs instead of tape, it isn't that big of a surprise...
