You don't need an air horn. You can easily substitute that can of compressed air sitting on your shelf. n2ch

This messages reads like a cross between a Terry Pratchett and a Wheel of Time novel. Am I the only one with this problem?

...they moved to 1 again, but called it the millennium of [The Fruit Bat]. The first age animals and humans could not speak. In the second age gods created humans. In one age, called the third age by some...An age long past, an age yet to come...The Mayan's made a calendar that ended...

Like we need another reason for people to want to dig Steve up and put him in front of people to speak.

It is obvious that some of us don't.

A 2nd for this recommendation.

I'm listening to the audiobooks with my girl (Her first time with the story), and we're up to Winter's Heart. When the pontification starts I crank the play speed up to as fast as we can take it without feeling like we're listening to a rendition by the chipmunk's.

It seems to be working.

I've tought my children to pronounce SyFy as "sif-fee" because it's not Sci-Fi anymore.

Apparently you haven't had to call a plumber or electrician lately. My last plumber bill was $450 and he was on site for 90 minutes. The electrician's bill was $280 and he was done and gone in 30 minutes. n2ch

I'm shocked that there are so many posts related to action that effect the pay for Congress. The $160K they get every year is nothing compared to the money they get from the businesses that present them with the ideas (and authorship) of bills like this. Look at who is contributing the most campaign donations to the sponsors of this bill and you'll probably find out who really wants this passed into law. n2ch

So they promise to cut 15 percent of their VP's at some unspecified time in the future? Okay. When do you expect that they were they planning on doing this? They've already given pink slips (et. al) to the people who work.

You joke, but I used to work for a bank...Requirements documents were considered "In-Draft" until the dev cycle was done, and the code got tossed over the wall to the testers. Even then, they would usually change them even after the features had been released to prod.

It's because Sony wants to show everyone how the jailbreaking of their devices has put their customers in jeopardy of identity theft.

I can't believe that this big of an outage is anything other than a fulcrum to getting the feds to help strong-arm more people who have installed the jailbreak.

n2ch - move along

I think you misunderstand the government of the USA...We aren't fascists, we're a (corporate) oligarchy. It's worse.

Your life must be very interesting. With the exception of my police detective neighbor, every time I interact with an officer I'm suspected of commiting a crime.

I thought everyone knew that they wanted to put reality TV and fantasy into their programming schedule. This was the reason they changed their name.

That's why I've taught my children to pronounce the new name as "sifee".
