My neighbor has a jack assed house number. He is on the even side of the street and has created his own odd number. It is out of order and somehow between my next door neighbor and myself, even though he is down the block a few houses. Its ridiculous. So i get his mail. i open it at will and throw large portions of it away. Important stuff i deliver to him. When he first built his house, it was many pieces a day. Now it's probably 5-10 pieces a week. i can always tell when the normal delivery guy is away.
PS. Can we please kill the post office faster?

i sure don't show an ID when i vote in massachusetts
i simply tell them my name and address and thats it

IU has never been a football power house
its all basketball
and all in, they had a very good year. would loved to see them do better in the tournament but a great regular season.

usually the military hikers are not officially bibbed runners.
so they don't start with the runners and aren't timed.
at the boston marathon this week for instance, i started with the first wave, 3rd corral (so very up front, 3 of 27 corrals) and i passed many military already long hiking. so they must have started long before the official start.
they usually finish far, far, far behind the elite, far behind the serious amateurs, far behind the casual runners, well into the charity runners.

there are military at nearly every marathon with backpacks.
especially the big ones
they hike the course alongside the runners.
i've run 8 marathons (including this years boston marathon) and at 6 of them there were various military hikers. they are always very supportive of the runners and vice versa
this has nothing to do with the bombings.

me too
anyone have a good suggestion for a replacement
i would love one that also supports iphone, ipad, etc.

I don't see how tweeting about the symphony while watching the symphony is a bad thing. you are reflecting on/discussing what is going on around you.
how many people here have regularly attending the symphony? My wife went to IU music, played in symphonies for years, and we have been BSO season ticket holders for years so i speak with some knowledge here.
The symphony does not require full attention.
why do they give you the huge program full of info on the works, the performers, the hall, etc? to give you something to do. check out how many people are flipping thru it during the performance.
we usually zoom out immediately at intermission to grab a few drinks (clearly not a help to sustained attention), after having a few before the show as well.
i can easily listen to a work and pound out a few emails/tweets if i wanted to.
that said, i'm not a fan of many of the contemporary works (legend of zelda, etc). sorry, just not my thing. imho. if it brings others though, no nuts.

Is there a way to prevent the effectiveness of a taser? i really don't know.

i assume you saw the ID of 53 a few lines above. 53.....now thats low.

1227 is truly impressive

Ignore all the "it doesn't matter what you look like" comments you are bound to receive on slashdot.
Dress like the role you want next
Yes, you can wear t-shirts and jeans and stay exactly where you are today.
Dress like an adult. This generally means khakis and a button down shirt or polo shirt.
Sure, sometimes you can slide in jeans, but have nice ones.
No t-shirts. no sandals ever.
go to jcrew, banana republic, etc.
and stop asking slashdot for clothing advice

this is not accurate
i burn 120 calories per mile run and run 8 miles in an hour, thats over 960 calories.
i do this 5 days a week with a 16 mile run on saturday
it is a great way to lose weight
To truly lose weight you have to balance food eaten and exercise

These types of solutions are problematic.

My mouse use varies quite a bit from my mouse in my office, to my use of the Pointer Device on my ibm laptop to my home laptop with a touchpad. All yield very different mouse actions.

I also don't like these solutions that there are times when you want someone else to access your acct. For example, my brothers bank uses a validation system that measures how you type your password for an additional layer of security. My brother was in a situation where i needed to access his acct. he gave me the username and password but the damn system would not let me in since i type his password at a different cadence/pace/whatever then he does.

these things all suck.

if you held any of those devices in your hand you will immediately see the difference. i have used all of those. they are night and day from the ipad.

really? still same old jokes???
lame....
