In Nebraska here, you can get a spectacular view just 30 miles out of Omaha or Lincoln. If you want to be absolutely stunned you can go to Valentine (north central Nebraska) and that is where they have amateur astronomy conventions. In august the meteor showers are breathtaking. You know it is a good view when a falling meteor burns the retinas a bit.
Even just outside Lincoln, not only can you see the Milky Way, but many college kids would ask me what the haze was amidst it...I would just reply, those are the rest of the stars...they always were stunned.
Perhaps this is why kids now adays have such big egos, they don't have to look up and see how insignificant they really are.
I used to live in Nebraska (small farm town by Norfolk), and at night I could see the Milky Way while in town, and I can see it beautifully when I go out to my in-law's farm. I miss the night sky now that I'm in the Kansas City area.:(
I should be in prison 1000 times over for the amount of times I child-molested myself from the summer of 1987 to my 18th birthday in September of 1992.
It's also particularly heinous because I enjoyed the act of self-molestation, therefore I'm more danger to myself because I somehow seduced myself into said self-abuse. Therefore, I should be locked away for all eternity, lest I continue enjoying myself well after my 18th birthday, and that was 17 years ago. Clearly I didn't learn and also am still a victim of Stockholm syndrome and continue to protect myself from myself even though I clearly enjoy enjoying myself.
So let's say your wife (or girlfriend or aquaintence, etc) has a really hot aunt that you totally want to screw. If your wife (or gf or whatever) says "fuck my vagina" you could *totally* take that to mean "fuck my aunt" and then you're all like, "wow, really, you'll let me?"
Hilarity would ensue.
What bothered me was the fact that the aliens hung out in a corn field. Now, as any country boy can tell you (or anyone who's ever detassled), if you walk through a cornfield in the wee hours of the morning in late July (I'm assuming it's late July since the corn is that tall (based on the old adage that corn should be knee-high by the 4th of July (to make sure you can harvest it in time))) you're going to get absolutely soaked from all the dew...
And if you don't get soaked from the dew, you're going to get soaked by the center-pivot irrigation that'll be rolling through, and that corn looked too good to be dryland crop, in my opinion it was irrigated.
(Yes stores are allowed to include credit fees in their prices, and offer discounts to cash customers.)
It might be legal, but the credit card companies frown on it. I can't find my rules from Visa, but it implied that you cannot give discounts for cash purchases, or have minimum amounts for sales, or they might drop you as one of their customers. Depending on what you do, not being able to process credit card purchases may be the death of your company.
I'm failing to see the downside here. More women means that, while you might not have sex more, they'll just be in competition with each other for your affections. Think about it, I'll call it the "Swedish Problem" wherein the entire country is filled with hot blondes, so no matter what, you're getting a hot blonde, so it's a matter of which chick will be better in the sack and will do more. (or maybe it's easier to filter out the hot PHBs)
That, or we'll get a lot more lesbo porn.
well, I'm also required to be there to answer calls even if it's slow, and if I have no trouble tickets I have to be at my desk regardless. It's either reading an ancient BBS or Slashdot, or often times both.:)
Although with ISCABBS I still read it for help with technical issues from various users, so I suppose I could justify that one at least.
Does this mean that soda can manufacturers should stop making cans? I mean I can potentially use them to make a nice marijuana pipe when my friends forget to bring a bong.
Ok, so let's say they do make their laws copyrightable. I think I shall copyright my name and charge them licensing fees for using it in their public documents.
I actually have rigged up a PVC pipe frame on my wife's elliptical machine, so I can put a board up, and set my laptop on it, then commence WoW!
Not only does it help with the repetition of doing daily quests, but it quickly passes the time where I might find myself walking on it for 90 minutes or more, and not even realize it.
I can now balance myself well enough that I've healed a few 5-man instances while doing it.
That's how this geek gets his exercise.
I can post an URL with the pictures of said elliptical if anyone responds to this post with interest.
Will the patents like the so-called "one-click" patent be voided wherein anyone who paid licensing fees to that company will no longer have to?
Will fees be refunded?
So what about applications that only read the data sent to and from Blizzard by the game? since the original game is unaltered, and you should be able to view the traffic that comes to your computer, could this ruling somehow be applied as it is towards Glider and (the now-defunct) WowSharp?
go read (or re-read) "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, it kind of addresses this issue. It's a short story and won't take you long. The story is about a society wherein everyone is created equal, literally. If you're smart, you wear a helmet that emits crazy noises to distract you, if you're strong you wear a suit of weights to hold you back.
I won't ruin the ending for you, and I hope our society never gets there.
That practice takes place in real auctions, too. Auctioneers make a percentage of the final tally. At my father-in-law's estate auction, the auctioneer got 10% up to $100,000 and then took 9% if it went over that.
Well anyways you'll sometimes get a less-than-reputable auctioneer paying someone to work the crowd and try to up bids so he gets more in the end. Then, often times auctioneers will have a year-end auction where they sell stuff that never gets claimed, and they'll sell the stuff they cheated people out of here, too.
Of course, if they're ever found out, they can never work again in 5-state area here in the Midwest, since farmer news travels fast.
But it does happen, and it's not new to eBay

it's the closest any of them will ever come to nailing cute Japanese girls

This is too good!
I don't steal music because if I had to buy it I wouldn't. So there was a zero sale with either my downloading it or my not buying it. :)

It's settled then, wear a fake beard when you get your picture taken

I get paid even if I'm telnetting into ISCABBS, I can't imagine not getting paid while my computer booted. :)
She could go the route of Asia Carrera and be a porn star, and just happen to be nerdy to boot!

is this channel still being broadcast? that's why I'd hook up a dish :)

You know, like eBay used to be.
I also recall the day when MTV actually showed music videos, those were the good ol' days.
but if I do that from my cell phone I end up using up a couple minutes, so I couldn't do that during prime-time
