"Presidio" means "military fortification" in Spanish.
The Presidio used to be a Spanish military base, then a Mexican military base, and then I think it was briefly military base for California when we were briefly a soverign entity, and then finally, it remained an American military base from 1849 until the early 1990s.

I think we should have this for our next poll!
Worst arrest of your lifetime:
1. Never. I'm a law abiding citizen. 2. Never. I run away. 3. A few misdemenors 4. Violent offense 5. Alcohol or drug-related offenses 6. Non-financial-fraud related theft offenses 7. I'm writing this from death row. 8. I stole the money, burned down the office and now live on a beach in Fiji with my red stapler.
In other words, never trust a product that uses more then 4 buzzwords in one sentence:
Oculus said the solution, called Microcyn, may prove effective in the fight against HYPE-FEAR, crossover viruses like HYPE flu and HYPE-FEAR, and HYPE-FEAR threats such as HYPE-FEAR.
Also a lot more people died in the Bhopal Gas leak in India from a fertilizer factory than from Chernobyl but people are shit scared of Nuclear plants.
Holy shit! How can you say that? Chernobyl is the largest man-made disaster ever-- even the low estimates put the death toll well above the Bhopal Gas leak estiamtes.
By some estimates, Chernobyl killed hundreds of thousands of people. There are no official death estimate because the government never released any figures and no other entity could go into the area and verify the numbers.
However, the lack of an estimate doesn't mean that the numbers are small.
Bhopal Gas disaster was a big disaster that killed thousands of people. There are offical death estimates.
It doesn't work for me either. These people are crazy. There is no changing pixel on the upper left hand corner of the screen.

Your situation sounds unreal, so I'm not sure if you are trolling or not.
This your situation is true you need to quit, or else you are going to die. Seriously-- you're going to get really sick, and while you are laying in your deathbed you are going to be thinking of all those miserable hours you wasted working for some stupid company. That is a very bad way to die.
Find another line of work if you have to. You'd probably be happier working at Starbucks, and you'd get promoted faster.
There are jobs out there. Doesn't sound like you're in the US, but there are many jobs in places like Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, etc.

I'm also 22, and work twice as many hours a week...
Call me when you're done working 80 hour weeks for 3 years and we'll talk
I think most of us have been there, including Motherfucker. If you're not careful, you're going to burn out before you're 30. These are your prime years. Use them wisely.
And don't fool yourself, working 80 hours a week is NOT twice as productive as working 40 hours a week. Not even close.
Look when you're older and have kids, you have a good idea of what's important. Get the shit done in 8 hours. Go home and spend time doing the stuff that really matters. Anything else is probably a waste of your life.
The other guy has more experience, and figured out how to get the job done in a shorter amount of time.

I didn't include my buddies name because I haven't been able to ask him if he'd be alright with it.
And you shouldn't post his name either. Some of the people in power might not like his statement, and he could face severe consequences if it became known. The freedom of speech doesn't always apply to military personel.
I've heard this argument before from my leftwing bicyclist friends. Do you have any evidence to back up this extraordinary claim?
I believe it at a gut level--- it's one reason why I haven't bought a new, more fuel efficient car. It's also why 90% of my travel is on the train, bike or foot, and why I live in an area that lets me live without a car.
That's great. I've been loosely following Evolution for Windows since Linuxworld last year.
I'm really curious how Evolution + Novell Groupware it will work: How will Evolution & iCalendar handle meeting invitations, shared schedules, shared addressbooks, shared discussion groups, etc.
Because in all honesty, Outlook really sucks at most of this stuff-- most places I know don't use shared addressbooks correctly. It's really disgustingly buggy and poorly designed.

It can't hurt to have MORE of these kinds of services; commercial, not-for-profit, or whatever.
Right, but for each product you can look at the ratio of negative feedback to positive feedback. You can tell if it's 5 negatives and 10 positives.

No. I meant arrest-- people get arrested, but not convicted, all the time.

You might have an infection.
Super-oxygenated water is great for clearing infections, and made some diabetic infections stink less!

H2O2 is clearly related to Dihydrogen Monoxide, which means it must be related.
It's even got the same symbols and stuff!
Hydrogen is toxic... we all saw what happened to the Hindinberg!!!! HYDROGEN bombs!

Most best estimates almost always place the death toll estimates for both incidents at between ~10 - ~50 thousand.
Interesting. I've never heard of estimates that high. I'll research this stuff a little more, if I can stomach it.

which was not even a full-size starship of the Enterprise's class.
No, but they hacked the ship to give it extra capabilities, like a cloaking device.
And it was small & cute, like the Whitestar ships.

You type "XYZZY" then press shift-enter and Enter. It should work now.
It's pretty unimpressive... it's faster just to use your skill & intuition rather then divert your eyes to look for a stupid, teeny pixel.

Dude! You have the enter and shift+enter backwards. was getting really angry with you until I did some investigation.

I take 'fresh air breaks'. Not once an hour, but I do try to take several fresh air breaks a day and go for a walk around the block.
This is especially helpful if I'm stuck in solving a problem. Clear my head, and I'll often fix it when I'm outside.
If anyone dare complains, I point out the smokers and they usually shut up.
