I believe it was in the pilot of stargate, that Capt Carter actually said "we will have to MacGuyverize this control panel" which the camera immediately switch to Richard. He had his classic "whatever" expression.
Here's a list of qualifications for the new position in hickville.
1. Do you own a gun?
1a. How many do you own.
2. Do you drive a pick-up truck or a camero?
2a. Is the primary color Bondo?
3. Do you have more than 3 teeth?
3a. In your mouth?
4. Do you recognize the first day of deer-season as a holiday?
4a. And duck-season?
5. Are you married to a close relative?
5a. Do you wish you were married to a close relative?
Yes, I'm from the country. No, not all of these apply to me
I had this problem on my original XBox with other games. I replaced (and voided the warranty that had already expired) the DVD player in it and it works fine now.
FYI, the power connector for the DVD-rom is real funky. A standard player probably won't work (I got mine from a discard unit).
Plus, being a customer I feel like I have the right to know how my money is handled and what possibilities there are for it being stolen.
You have the right, but only to a degree. The manager told you that the transactions would be covered. That's what you needed to know. He didn't tell you what you wanted to know.
The space station will have the 'parking brake' on.
We know there is an equal opposite reaction for every action. The space station would move in the opposite direction of the mag-beam. however, this could be corrected if it had a form of thrusters on the other side providing an opposite-opposite reaction. Or maybe if it is in Earth's orbit, that will keep it from flying out into space.
Hey, it's great that Wal-Mart is going after record labels to force a price drop on CDs, however it will impact the little guy.
If the record labels drop the price on CDs for wal-mart (say $10 for a CD) and they keep the price the same for Vintage Vinyl (say it's still $15), then eventually vintage vinyl is going to go out of business. Vintage vinyl won't be able to turn a profile on music sales since they don't purchase 2.3 ba-zillion cds at once.
I'm only going to address the:
"Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty?" Really, I'm appalled when stories like this come up and the great majority of/. posters cry foul."
Everyone's talking about using the brakes or going to neutral.
Just open the door and use your feet like the flintstones...and make sure someone is video taping it.
The telemarketers argued that the list violated their commercial free-speech rights
What about SPAM. Isn't the Can-SPAM act doing the same thing to spammers.
For the love of God people, all of this "you can't step on my rights" bull is for the birds. Telemarketers make money by scamming people, just like spammers. They are the same(except some telemarketers use inmates to make the calls)....Did everyone catch that. Some Telemarketers use inmates in prison to place the calls to you. So you are giving your PERSONAL info to a convicted felon...just in case you didn't know.
We know there's a mile-high-club, but what about a near-zero-"g"-club.

Here's what I've been told the difference between a "professional" and an "amateur" is.
A professional does the job, even when they don't want to do. An amateur does it whenever they feel like it.
Being a professional doesn't mean you're any good at it (e.g. look at all the "professionals" in our fields (IT/Med/Law/Bus/etc) that have degrees, yet they're as dumb as a box-of-rocks).
Getting paid to be a professional is strictly a bonus.
Good wording on the question. It focuses on 'overdose' instead of the focusing on what is being discussed. This is strictly a question on why someone can't smoke weed.
For the love of God. This was rated as a '3'. More and more people are asking why they should vote, yet political heads don't really answer the questions IF they decide to answer.

Couldn't they call LoneStar and Barf to see if they can pick up some takeout from the planet Druidia?
Well no-duh. They already know that the earth climate goes in a cycle. They have proof of that. There's nothing to argue.
They also don't really argue that we, the people, have an impact. That's because they know its true, we do impact the cycle. We cause it to accelerate

hmm, would it be possible to upload a virus to an atm via a magnetic strip on a card?
No.

Don't worry about the control towers. Their computers are so old, they can't install windows on them.

But I like the 'parking brake' idea myself.

Either way, we're screwed.

Yeah, this may be offtopic but whatever. I hate the fsck faxes they send.

This is a good question. Glad to see it modded at a '5'.
This is modded at a '4', which is too "high".
This should have been modded as a '5'.
