same here, living in N.H., but states like mine are few and far between. heck, helmets aren't required for motorcyclists! live free AND die!

try this- place the individual vinyl disks between two sheets of clean glass, place in sunlight to warm them up for a while, then remove to shaded area to cool down. depending on the vinyl composition, it might restore them to desired state. cant hurt them to try. i did this 30 years ago to some albums in the same warped state and was able to recover them. of course, results may vary. good luck!

a Godwin WHOOOSH!!

you might want to check out peerblock, a sort-of continuation of peer guardian. it works the same way and is frequently updated. i believe some of the same people were involved in it. i hyave been using it for about 8 months, no problems yet.

exactly!! i am all for evolution taking place. doesn't matter how old, or even what species. either learn to ALWAYS be cautious, or remove yourself from the gene pool. of course, if all vehicles eventually become super-quiet, i assume that all creatures become vigilant or roadkill!! maybe that would make some Blackberry-texting freak think twice about doing so while crossing roadways. also, please be aware of the cynical-sarcastic frame of mind i am in at present!!

sounds like you live near the White Mtns. in fact, some have been railing against these unprepared idiots for a long while. if i remember correctly, William Putnam did an on-air editorial about stupid people going where they should not,(in the Whites) back in the early 70s. stupid people will always be stupid, with the state-of-the-art technology or not!!

i really am saddened. i always thought of australia as pretty cool, and it probably still is, but it seems some of your governmental types are whacked in the head. or should be!! 'premature unnecessary debate' , heavens, can't have anybody know what they are going to vote on!! good luck on your search for a better place, and when you find it, please let the rest of us know! thank you in advance.

is this what they mean by cloud computing? sorry, slay away!!

there is a movie in there somewhere, jump on it quick before uwe boll does!!!

i recently tried some, albeit dried. definitely very hot, but strangely and pleasantly having an almost sausage type flavor. quite nice!!

i am all for it, no more namby-pamby mollycoddling!! evolution got us into this , it damn well can get us out!! p.s. also, no sanitizers for the helicopter parents. remember, god keeps his own!

i stand in awe!! wish i had some mod (freakin' hilarious) points for you. a tip of the hat!

Fortunately, truth and our ability to discern it and believe it doesn't have anything to do with our ability to live up to it.

the long answer involves quantum thermodynamics, about 73 pages of math, two ducks, a banana, 16 cheesburgers, the Hope diamond, Prague, the skull of George "Goober" Lindsey, and YOUR MOM

yes-got it nov. 1, played ~35 hrs. this past week while on vacation, finished it saturday. great game of dungeon crawler type. not much story, but cool effects. frankly, i haven't played a game straight through in many years. this was like diablo 1 , diablo 2, sacred, and WoW had an orgy, and torchlight was the unlikely off-spring. totally addictive!!
