Thats nonsense.. wouldn't your time machine break and you wouldn't be able to even try, after all there's no documented history of an attempt on his life
I enjoy Enterprise. I do agree that they need to lay off of the time travel though. I have not seen the new Battlestar Galactica, it's hasn't made its way into my schedule yet. It's funny, I didn't start watching Enterprise until I downloaded a few shows from suprnova a few years ago. I probably would not have gotten hooked on it if I hadn't. I would like to download the episodes of Battlestar that I have missed and determine if it is worth watching. Oh well I guess it is something I just will have to miss out on it, or search around for a replacement site. I am the only one who actually used bittorrent to download tv shows at my convenience to determine what was actually worth watching at it's regular time? I got hooked on Scrubs and Arrested Development the same way. I know I could set my DVR to record new shows but I don't watch commercials so I never know what or when new shows are coming on.
It might not be the best anti-spyware program, but its other features are nice. I run Spybot, Ad-aware and SpywareBlaster and decided to install the MS program as well. It didn't find anything, I didn't think it would with the combined efforts of the other 3 programs, but I was impressed by the consolidation of information it presents. In one place I can see the current running processes, startup applications, LSPs and installed activeX apps. It will make troubleshooting family members computer problems easier once they install this. I can just direct them to one app to answer most all my questions, instead of having them dig through the registry, downloading other obscure programs and goggling every unknown process they currently have running. I will still install the other 3 apps on the computers I am called upon to troubleshot and will definitely add this program as well for ease of information.
Think of it like this: take a glass of water and put a rubber duck in it. The duck floats, yes? Now push the duck down so that it's top is even with the top of the water. What happens to the water? Same thing that will happen to our oceans when that freshwater melts.
So you are saying that a glacier weighs the same as a duck and is therefore a witch?
Is it just me or water can't be very very hot? At about 100 degrees Celcius, it vaporize...
Yes it does at standard temperature and pressure. If you were to increase the pressure it would require a higher temperature to vaporize, just as lower pressures require lower temperatures.
Unshrink you?! Well that would require some sort of a REbigulator, which is a concept so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh out loud and chortle.. but not at you O holiest of gods with the wrathfulness and the vengence and the bloodrain and the "hey hey hey it hurts me"
How about next we ban companies from asking for your phone number every single chance they get? Buffalo Wild Wings asks when you order, Best Buy now asks when you buy something, we all know and love Shit Shack for what they used to do and probably still do, etc.
My father works at prison so I would amuse myself by always giving out the phone number of the prison to anyone who asked me for my number without purpose. As long as I am in their database under a number I know it all works out. They can retrieve my pertinant infomation and I don't have to be harassed by them.
Unfortunatly he may have some competition this year. You are aware that his opponent, I don't remember his name, used to work for NASCAR. That seems to be the only thing that what's his name seems to be promoting. I saw a commercial for his opponent the other day. He was inanely babbling something while images of NASCAR were on the screen.
I just hope that the NASCAR fans in this district aren't the mindless sheep he seems to think they are.
Yeah I wasn't too sure about the celebration scenes for the other locations either but I figured they, mostly, logically made sense. You explained Cloud City. Naboo may have been the Emperors home world but he did deceive them to gain power so I am sure that they would be glad to be rid of him. Couruscant was probably under some sort of martial law during the Emperors rule so I am sure they would be glad to be rid of him as well. As the command infrastructure of the Empire fell any regional governers would be quickly over run by local rebellions, or skipping town, without any threat from the Emperor, so celebrations wouldn't be too far fetched.
Tatooine, I agree probably wouldn't care, there wasn't much there but the Hutts, smugglers and such that the Empire didn't seem to care too much about it anyway. They were people who were going to continue to do things the way they always had with or without the Empire.
I also can not believe I am rationalizing this, but I have never been known to spend my time being too productive.
I never purchased or watched the special editions of the movies prior to purchasing the DVDs. I felt that they were an abomination and should be avoided. Unfortunatly I was bored the other night and broke down and bought them (I just got a 51" widescreen tv and really wanted to see them).
Overall most of the enhancements are ok. There are only 4 things I would have eliminated or not changed.
1) Han shoots first.
2) The silly extended dance routine in Jabba's Palace.
3) Hayden Christensen as a spirit at the end of Jedi. This just doesn't make sense.
4) The celebration song at the end of Jedi. I missed the old one.
Art for art's sake can sometimes interfere with those considerations.
Excellent point. Architecture should be a combination of form and function. It should be a merging of Art and Civil Engineering. Unfortunately the school I attended for architecture chose more to focus on the artistic side, function be damned.
lots of pseudo-intellectual babble, and a propensity to design buildings based on arbitrary objects with no eye towards function. For example, my classmates used to do things like base the building design on a "found object" (piece of junk) from the site, or maybe on some random patterns generated by a pet with a marker. The fact that this rewarded is incredibly frustrating to someone who demands any kind of rational justification for their own design ideas.
Yes, these are the reasons that I also got out of architecture. It amazed me how impressed the professors would be with the biggest BS nonfunctional designs. Staying up all night getting stoned before the project was due seemed to be the only logical explaination for some of the others designs. Maybe I just had too much of a technical background to deal with it. After an 8 year break to recover from that disaster I am now happily enjoying my CS classes. Should have just started there to begin with.
One of the major reason to keep the requirement to show ID on domestic flights is it allows the airlines to stop people from transfering tickets and increases their sales. If you buy a non refundable ticket and your plans change you can't sell the ticket to someone else to get your money back, the best you can do is pay a fee to change your flight times or buy another ticket. Not that I agree with this, it is just one of the possible reasons from the airlines perspective.
The general public may no longer have use for a floppy disk, I know I haven't purchased new ones for personal use in about 8 years at least. Tech support and repair shops will still need the use of some. Just running simple recovery programs and bios updates is all I ever use them for now. Booting old machines without CDRom drives to load an image over the network is another use for them.
Maybe in several more years once a lot of the older machines have finally turned over and died and practically every machine has a usb port that can use a USB key as a boot device. I would much rather keep all my utilities and such on one USB key than several floppies that I lose, damage, etc.
"they" and "them" can be used in place of "he/she" and "him/her" in order to be gender-neutral
Well not according to a previous English teacher I had. They/them is plural. The problem with this case is that administrator would need to change administrator to administrators to keep the same plurality through out.
An email has been sent to the administrator notifying him of the problem.
or
An email has been sent to the administrators notifying them of the problem.
I am not sure if email would need to be plural in the second case. Is it one email being sent to multiple recipients, or is it multiple emails? Is emails a word? My head is going to explode. I hate words.
"my high school literature teacher was the coolest person in the world. (Oh, and she was HOT!)"
Lucky you. My elementary school librarian was an evil old woman who kept instilling in us every day that god loves us, right before she would disappear into her back office to smoke and watch TV soaps. They should have banned her from the library for preaching in school. However this was years ago when a teacher could even get away with hitting a student, as long as they deserved it, and yes my friends and I deserved to be beat on several occasions. We didn't complain, we got caught we knew we were wrong so we took a beating. That's the way it was and we liked it! We just hoped they didn't tell our parents so we could avoid another beating at home.
Talking out of turn...that's a paddling. Looking out the window...that's a paddling. Staring at my sandals...that's a paddling. Paddling the school canoe...ooh, you better believe that's a paddling.
"Many consumers end up rather confused as to who the official Olympic sponsors are."
You know all this time I thought I was enjoying watching the atheletes compete. Now I realize that it was all just disillusionment from not being aware of who the official sponsors were.
Who won gold in X event in Y year?
I'm not sure, who was the official sponsor that year?
8/6 Release to manufacturing 8/9 Release to Microsoft Download Center (network installation package) 8/9 Release to MSDN subscription site (CD ISO image) 8/10 Release to Automatic Updates (for machines running pre-release versions of Windows XP Service Pack 2 only) 8/16 Release to Automatic Updates (for machines NOT running pre-releases versions of Windows XP Service Pack 2) 8/16 Release to Software Update Services Later in August Release to Windows Update for interactive user installations
I hate Amazon's CD arrangement. It's difficult to see release orders of albums and what is just an EP, compilation etc. They destroyed the good format that cdnow.com had when they purchased them. I loved cdnow.com and even purchased cd's from them. Yes some people actually use p2p to find new music and actually purchase cds. I will probably even download a song or two from the new U2 album to see if it is worth buying. I use allmusic.com now for track listings, album info and artist history. It's a great site.
I hope this thing works better than the original Airport they designed with absolutely no airflow through the device. The things would eventually burn themseelves up in the heat. At an old job I had we actually had to occassionally put test unit in the fridge to cool it off enough for it to work for a couple more hours at a time.
This has been going on for years. Local television channels have you watch one program for a secret password and then later watch another program with the number to call and try and win some silly prize. It has been used on radio for many more years, as another poster pointer out the Christmas Story's Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring.
Care to elaborate on which shadows in the picture can not exist on the Moon's surface?
All of them. Don't you know that in such a low gravity enviroment shadows are not drawn all the way to the ground. Instead they float off in to the darkness of space never to be seen again. Or at least I have a bet with Stephen Hawking that they do.

I too live in Boucher's district.
