  1. I once read that the population of the US is about 15 years behind the government, technoligically. I wonder how true that is.
  2. Doesnt show for me either unless I hover the cursor over it. Today in Chicago its cloudy with a high of 71F. Yesterday it rained like a mofo precicely during the 50 foot walk from my office to my car and soaked me.
  3. Ive got outstanding medical and dental insurance. Its a PPO (Blue Cross/Blue Shield), is 100% paid for by my company and covers my entire family. I can walk into any facility and be seen and have never had to wait more then a day or two for an appointment. As an aside, Im constantly amazed that its not realized that this "free" medical isnt free at all. The Scandinavians pay through the nose for that service via taxes. In addition, does nobody take into account a countries population? The cost for socializing medicine in the US (300M+ people) would be staggering.
  4. As Im sure you know, all laws have a min/max sentence, your example being a max.
  5. While I dont know the exact fine for getting caught with a bag of weed, $400.00 bucks seems high. He could have probably paid a fraction of that had he actually gone to court.
  6. I dont get it. EDIT: Why wouldnt the Hulk beat Superman. IIRC, even Superman has a finite strength while the Hulk has no know limit as he continuously grows stronger the longer he fights, right? So, at some point Hulk is going to get the upper hand short of killing him (has Hulk ever died?).
  7. On the bright side, you pull this off and you'll come out looking like a champ. Good luck.
  8. I would like to take this opportunity to say how much the new non-underlined hyperlinks are teh suck.
  9. I watched Ghost Rider this weekend and loved every cheesetastic minute of it. Does anyone know the lore of the Ghostrider? Why couldnt the Devil just
  10. As I sit here I cant help but be happy that I dont know what a rusty tombone is.
  11. Hmm, lets figure out what that was worth in real money. The bots offer gold at 50G/$3.99. So, 5000G = $399.00!!! Sheesh, he would have been better off getting a hooker. Hell, get two hookers.
  12. Ive got a stupid question regarding quad cores. How do they work? Meaning, currently there are hardly any application that will take advantage of a dual core much less a quad core so whats the benefit of a quad? Is it really like paired dual cores so it seems to software to be dual core, just much faster?
  13. Caught Blade on Encore the other night. I love that movie, gaping plotholes and all.
  14. Ive had a similar problem before and this is what did it for me. Your router probably has four "outputs". In my case it turned out that specific outputs had died. For example, I originally had my PC connected to ouput #1. One day I simply couldnt connect to the intarweb. After much fiddling, rebooting and router power cycling I switched it to output #2 and it worked fine. Since then #2 and #3 have died levaing me only one functional output, #4. So I guess the short answer would have been to try another output.
  15. Sure it true, just as if 150 million people from any country turned off their lighting, closed the fridge door, etc... for one night.
  16. This mentality is fine as long as its confined to the location that requires it. Its when you start exporting it ACROSS THE GLOBE, for real or perceived slights, that I have a problem with it. Thats how I took it too.

    Ireland joins the party.
  18. Am I incorrect? For some reason I thought you were from that region.
