So, the baby can stay but the parents cant? Seems like the hotel just gave that family someplace to live . Kinda nice for a change to see something like that.

Did anyone notice '10-year old' and '3rd grade'? sorry to hijack, but held back 2x in grade school. perhaps there is more to this story than what we're being told than her friend giving her some candy. sadder commentary is that we're spending so much time on this story. sign of the times i guess.

how about the Ohio Davis-Besse reactor, had some really nice cover head erosion once upon a time! http://www.ohiocitizen.org/campaigns/electric/pre2003/serious_accident.htm

Man, the ex-Navy Nukes strike again! time for a drydock story: I remember being in Graving Dock 1 when... the seawolf fell off the blocks? jk.

So, is the patent office interpreting a law, then?

i love a good speach. spears are good too.

Yup, we were in the same class then. We got Christmas off, and graduated around March 90. Lots of hours in maneuvering. I hated sitting on that little jump seat behind the throttles. For 6 hours at a shot.

gah. you navy nukes just never give it up, do you? lol. class 9001. em. uss miami ssn 755. fair winds, guys.

in service to mankind for his long and unfaltering battle with the evil empire that is "Microsoft"? sounds like some folks over on the west coast are losing track of reality. Linux is cool, but I dont see how his contribution has made mankind better off.

I dropped KK on an old Dell Inspiron 1200 yesterday, because the XP on it had finally given up the ghost. Seemed pretty good, except as you note the system doesnt seem to like wireless. It doesnt register my Dell 1350 WLAN card. It seems to see it being inserted, but doesnt power it up. Not really sure how to fix this, looking in old forums. Otherwise, IMHO, nice job out of the box. Wired LAN worked fine, as did all other hardware.
