Huh; I wasn't allowed to donate because of something hepatitis related showing up in my blood the last time I donated (but further tests I had done showed no hepatitis); I wonder if this is why? I am O- so perhaps I will go check again and see if I can donate.
But if you do decide to upgrade, don't forget the most important upgrade tool: a cheese grater. Before you start, run it across your tongue for two minutes; after that, no matter how painful the upgrade process is, it won't feel worse than those first two minutes.
Having not toyed with Microsoft products at this level, I have to wonder how hard it would be to firewall the machine so it can't talk to microsoft, or even better, redirect to a fake local server that tells your box that it is legit?
I can see it now: thousands of computers worldwide activating keys, just to make life miserable for Microsoft and users. It could be called the "annoy Microsoft Windows Users at home" project.
I looked at the websites of a few hospitals in this area and couldn't find any ER volunteer opportunities. How did you find out about this kind of volunteer work?
Yeah, reverse psychology works every time. Maybe add in a, "No, I don't think you are smart enough to use Linux" and they will never stop bugging you to put Linux on their machine.
Like free massages given by naked masseuses. Make sure you have your company name tattooed on their body somewhere or people will remember your booth, but not your company name.
I know several people with severe spinal injuries that could potentially benefit from something like this. Heck using this to restore the use of amputated and reattached limbs/appendages springs to mind as well.
It depends; some sites I have seen take what you like (or listen to) and make recommendations; basically the website is the "expert". I have found so much awesome music and new artists this way. Though it is a good thing to hear a variety (heck especially me; I like a wide range of music) and any medium that supports the little guy is a good thing in my book.
Hopefully she will become more popular here. Then again, sites like that on the web are were I find new artists, though it is a much more active process than listening to random folks on the radio.
Yeah but what if instead of looking at reliability, gas mileage, or overall customer satisfaction I would prefer to make my next $30,000+ auto purchase based on which satellite radio comes with the car?
- Design lil nanowalkers - Pave path directly to target with copper. Design another lil nanowalker that walks in front of the rest, clearing debris out of the way. - Set the one carrying flammable stuff going, and wait a few thousand years for it to get to the destination. Have a few flaming nano-walkers to let go a few minutes after you let the first one go. - Multiple by a few million for an explosion that people can actually see.
Man I wish I knew someone who was having brain surgery. It would be so much fun to speak gibberish to them when they wake up, and then when they start screaming just say, "aww man don't worry I am just messing with you". Yeah I just know they would love that.
So can we look forward to forcing some people to get "selfish bastard" tatooed on their forehead? It would certainly make life easier for panhandlers, and making them ADA compliant for blind people would be interesting.
Best of all however we should make all political candidates demonstrate that THEY aren't selfish bastards.
Smolin? Is he that young guy with those crazy ideas? He may not be wrong.
I think the point being made here is that todays nutjob is often tomorrows nobel winner. Besides you don't get to hear much from Richard ever since he left Family Feud.
(Yeah I am just kidding, I know it is Richard Dawson who is of Family Feud fame)
I second the suggestion to take an art class. I recently took my first art class at the local community college, and realized that I am indeed capable of drawing more than stick figures! Since then I have taken a photoshop/illustrator course, and have dabbled with some 3D tools (see my deviant art page in my sig or my profile to see examples of things I have made). Don't let others (or more likely yourself) talk you out of seeing what kind of artistic talent you have. Now not only can I code php, but I am on my way to learning how to create icons and honest to goodness art (both traditional and 3D).
After we colonize Mars, the first one to find it gets a 25 million dollar coffee table for their new home!

A friend of mine lived in the dorms and had a crappy terminal with a 300baud modem. I used to tease her that she could walk across the street to the computer center and be logged in before that beast would finish displaying the MOTD and pop up a prompt. She used to curse the operators when they would put 10 extra lines of useless junk in the message of the day. And I still fondly remember when I got to upgrade my 1200baud with a 2400baud modem *sigh* Now I can't stand dialup at any speed.

Then suddenly global warming won't seem like such a big deal?

Maybe a way to brand people on the arm, something catchy like "www.ubuntu.com" with a little penguin logo.

I've always wondered; how many VHS tapes can you fit on a typical dogsled anyway?
I am guessing there are people who control hordes of zombie machines that would disagree.
All the normal ones have been eaten; the bony ones are next.

If this doesn't say "DoD grant" nothing does.

The most likely reason we don't see them is because they are all headed right at us, and we won't see them until after they get here.
