$130 for 2TB external isn't cheap?

I heard drives are going up in price but they still look pretty cheap to me.

I did some consulting for Apple, but never met Steve.

I have to say, that he affected my life more profoundly than any other person I never met.

RIP Steve.

Many years ago, both the Americans and the Soviets were discovering the difficulty of writing in space. A few civilian Americans developed the Space pen. Called the AG7, the ballpoint is made from tungsten carbide and is precisely fitted in order to avoid leaks. A sliding float separates the ink from the pressurized gas. The thixotropic ink in the hermetically sealed and pressurized reservoir is claimed to write for three times longer than a standard ballpoint pen. The pen can write at altitudes up to 12,500 feet (3810 m). The ink is forced out by compressed nitrogen at a pressure of nearly 35 psi (240 kPa). Operating temperatures range from 30 to 250 F (35 to 120 C). The pen has an estimated shelf life of 100 years. They are very, very expensive, as you might expect.

The Russians used a pencil.

Magnets? Incantations? Sand?

Dude. You know what a splitting maul is? It's a combination sledge/axe that splits logs.

1) Place drive on log

2) Apply high velocity force vectored through the head of said splitting maul in a 180 degree path.

3) Pick up halves and repeat step 2 if desired.

4) Drop quarters off the end of the dock into LI Sound.

Why get all complicated?

Um, how do you prepare the dog food? Do you try and disguise the taste, or just add water and savor the "meaty gravy?"

I'm used to preparing for serious winter storms. (Fairfield Co, CT.) It's weird to be preparing for one when it's warm, and a hell of a lot easier.

Riding mower in garage...check.
10 spare gallons for the genny...check.
Well pump battery at 100%...check.
Huge flashlights charged and ready....check
Barbecue propane full & spare.....check.

Corona...check.
Weed......check.
Milk.....check.

I'm good. B))

Twinkies do not have a shelf life, they have a half-life.

The red herrings and ignorance are rampant here today. So according to you, they can only carry "convenience foods", but not nutritional foods. And ignoring that, the majority of the poor live near grocery stores. The majority of the poor live in dense urban centers.

Dense urban centers don't generally have grocery stores. There are converted ice-cream trucks that distribute produce in Detroit, because there is a not a single supermarket chain that has seen fit to open a location in the entire city.

And bodegas carry convenience foods, because Twinkies stay edible a lot longer than fresh fruits and vegetables.

I can't stand beer. I wish I liked it...I like all the neat varieties. I lived in the UK for six years and was taken to pubs where the beer brewed out back was said to be as lovely as the dewy perspiration from the inner thighs of a virgin. They're raving over it, and too me it tastes like warm, sour urine.

I went to Dublin and was dragged to the most Guinnessy of all pubs in the land. The Lord Himself came and blessed the place and the dark brew is supposed to lift you to a higher plane of existence after one tiny sip. It was the most fucking awful thing I ever put in my mouth, and that's saying something.

I was dragged to Munich for Oktoberfest 1992. We were not permitted in the German tents (with their convenient under-table urine trough system), but had to go to the Untermenschen tents, which were basically soaked in urine,with guys on each side dousing the tent with more. I was given a stein large enough to bathe a baby, filled with something amber and pungent. Of course, the NYC Subway scent of piss may have clouded my judgement slightly, but this beer was worse than the rest. It tasted like that Bitrex stuff they put in cleaning fluid so your kid won't drink it.

I've tried. But it's just nasty. Others love it, and more power to them, but bleah... And for those who say I need to acquire a taste for it...I never needed to acquire a taste for pizza.

I'd like to do high school again, but not get expelled this time...... B)

Um, one problem. The National Endowment for the Arts was created in 1965. Please, if you would, explain how they could have been use as a money conduit in the 50's when they didn't exist till the middle of the 60's.

Roger Ailes has even reached /. Go see what the hard right loons post on the very busy Fox forum. It will amaze you, I promise.
