Anyone can go to a sperm bank and get some money in exchange for their precious bodily fluids. It's how I paid for CS books in college. There's probably a billion little copies of me running around somewhere, since I was tall, smart, and a college student.
Actually, that random link I found has a kinda cute picture of a duck looking down his pants. Heh. He looks sad!
I've heard over and over that doing high intensity exercise greatly increases the production of Human Growth Horomone (HGH) which does everything from regrowing damaged tissues (wrists) to restoring energy levels and normal organ functions. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! It's sad HGH got a bad rep from the spam going around a while back. My completely unscientific swimming style has been all-out for a length or two, then slower until I need a break. Then I repeat, alternating type of stroke to keep it interesting. After an hour I can barely walk or lift my arms. It feels strangely good.
Thanks, actually the fact that you've had one 18 months and it still works makes me quite interested. I used a 64MB player for a couple years and it was acceptable. I can always downsample since swimming is a noisy environment.
I just installed on a friend's computer last week, and I don't remember setting any tab functionality. If you don't know about tabs, you won't see them. If you hit Ctrl-T you'll still get a new tab, or if you Right-Click you can open in a new tab. You can set it to automatically open links in a new tab, but it's probably best to let the user do that when they're ready.
I try to think of my mother as a typical user. She can just barely get around on a computer. I (and many of her friends and relatives) try to educate as best as we can, but it is slow. She still sends out chain letters, including the shergold one. She needed me to help her install flash to see a stupid website. I told her she could print out documents at kinko's and she showed up there with her files at home.
Things have improved over the years. There are many competent users now. But we can't get complacent. People bring their computers to work for me to fix. It's the same thing every time. These are typical users.
I make it a point to install firefox and remove all shortcuts to IE on any machine I have to fix, except for at work, where we have a couple of IE-only apps. (don't ask)
The average (I don't want to say idiot) user simply doesn't think or know about other browsers. We need to remember that the typical user doesn't live in "our" world.
Well, as much as I love PONIES!!1! unfortunately I have neither the inclination or ability to make country songs. Perhaps I'll offshore it to Bangalore. India is a country!
The mightiest goggles I've seen are -9.0, here They might noticably improve your vision.
I've also seen goggles with removable "correction" inserts. Perhaps you could have custom ones made and replace the cheap goggles as necessary, treating the inserts like gold.
I wouldn't want to deal with the bs that a CEO has to deal with. Meetings, dressing the part, pandering to investors, etc.
If you allocate ownership equally he won't have more power than you do. Plus, you can use your tech skills to gather incriminating evidence you can use to blackmail him to your way of doing things.
I've got terrible vision, nearsighted with astigmatism. I lost interest in swimming when I couldn't see anything clearly, such as walls, other swimmers, and lounging girls.
Various manufacturers make goggles with optical correction, usually available in whole and half-diopter increments. I got some reasonably close to my prescription for $20 and am quite impressed with my vision, especially underwater. They're also handy in duststorms, and when welding/grinding/drilling above my head.
Now I can navigate from the locker room to the pool without glasses, and avoid obstacles while swimming. Plus my eyes don't burn from chlorine.
Optical goggles, eh? Is that like glasses for your eyes?
Well, I could call them prescription goggles, except they aren't my prescription. They're some nice round number, -5.5 diopter IIRC. So, near my prescription. corrective goggles? Nah, reminds me of my special shoes. Anyway, they're called optical goggles on most websites.
I had insomnia and back pain until I started swimming regularly. 3x a week for an hour at the city gym. I sleep much better, have more energy during the day, and haven't had back pain in months. Plus, I have more stamina for physical activities.
Oddly, my wrist pain went away too. I used to get achy wrists after a long day.
I even got some tech to make it more interesting, I have optical goggles and am pondering how to make a waterproof mp3 player.

I hope, for your all of you , that the last "Oh my God" you utter, is not when you discover the awesome and yet terrible truth.
Thank you (?) for trying to be nice to us heathens.
I don't need to hope something equally nice for you, since when you die you won't be conscious to be disappointed.
When discussing evolution (or Apple, etc) you're supposed to turn humor OFF at the beginning of your post. Hope this helps!

Have you noticed any compatibility issues? I'm assuming it either has all the security holes IE does, or lacks full compatability.
And HALF of them are even DUMBER than THAT!

Bug works just fine on my XP2 IE IE 6.0.2800.2180. Glad I don't use IE, that's frickin scary.

It's the default browser.

CA has plenty of cannons. The Spanish were big on them, and apparently had some influence on early development in the area.
Wow, when GOD ALMIGHTY smacks down your attempted "law" it stays smacked down.

Maybe I'll finally get one of those iPods and see why they're worth 3x the mp3 player I like. Hopefully I won't turn into a Pod Person.

heh, you can see my opinion of that here

I'd put a smiley there, but since you're Canadian you probably have a sense of humor too!
I'd be okay if someone wants to go back in time and kill him.

Thanks for the link though, I bet a lot of people don't know about this, and somebody is bound to like it.
If I'm off base here, please advise. I'd hate to write off something completely great just because I'm too damn picky.

Lurking (e.g. in bushes) when you have a restraining order just might get you in trouble with the law.
I won't call you humor retarded though. How about humorly differently abled?
