Next time I murder a dude I am total using this as my defense. "But your honor its science, you can't argue with science otherwise you would have to toss all the blood evidence" Yeah, they don't let me talk in court anymore...

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed that your CDROM can shoot fireballs or that you somehow put 1.7TB of information on something, anything, that fits into your CDROM. :)

Has someone downloaded this and tried the password "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, select, start"?

I don't have gravity where I am so juggling is not an option, again we see that the people who write/approve these questions are confined by the narrow limits of their own experience.

Same here, voted about a week and a half ago. Pros: don't have to stand in long lines, Cons: Don't get a little sticker saying I voted. I was also debating telling my boss that I got a notice that my mail in ballot got lost or something and taking the two hours given by CO state law to go "vote" (aka sitting at home for a few hours).

Asterisk may not solve all your problems, but if you are using VoIP phones and know Linux this might be an option. Plus it is open and fully customizable. Might be worth a look. http://www.asterisk.org/

You are correct. It does not change the conversion. But good catch. Also I happen to be 6'3.5 but I felt using the average was best.

I agree, if I am doing my math right (and Lord knows I might not be) the options given in the poll work out like this given a height of 5'6 (which is an average fully grown healthily human male born in North America during the last 100 years).

(5.6*X/5280=miles) where X is the small and large values of each option.
0-3000 = 0 - 3.18 miles
3001-6000 = 3.18 - 6.36 miles
6001-9000 = 6.36 - 9.55 miles
9001-12000 = 9.55 - 12.73 miles
12001-15000 = 12.73 - 15.91 miles

Other then these distances being very odd non-round numbers most (as of this writing 58%) of the people who responded to the post live farther then 15.91 miles from their birth place. I agree with the criticism that the numbers given should have been larger.

Here's my idea. Buy some white labels and write numbers on them, then list these same numbers on a spreadsheet and print it out. When people come over put one sticker on each expensive piece of equipment (computer, monitor). Then have the person write down on the sheet what the equipment is and sign their name. Tell everyone that noting can be taken home without a sticker on it and it being signed out. This method is not completely foolproof but should be good enough to prevent most theft. The only downside I can see is it would require a door guard the whole night.
