D&D players can have children..., they just have a higher likelihood of being half-elven.

Just wait for Carpel Tunnel to set in. It is like someone turned off the turbo on your computer/hand.

Some of us were hung for shooting law enforcement trying to defend ourselves.

Get Al Gore to fund exploration. Then he can pay the "hydrocarbon tax" for the whole place.

"The exact blend of hydrocarbons in the lakes is unknown. " - Real question is can you set it on fire?

If Mississippi and Arkansas didn't suck so hard...Louisiana would fall off into the Gulf.... probably pushed by Texas.

I bought some raw seafood at the store the other day. The check-out clerk and the bag boy were both amazed that I could cook my own raw shrimp and snow crab legs. Many people really do have no idea how to cook other than to follow package directions for the microwave.

"Can we stop saying SSL now, since it had better be TLS?"

"This can eventually boil off most of the the gas atmosphere, leaving behind the core: a small, rocky world capable of supporting life.'

So after nano tech fiber makes space elevators possible, we can then work on a planet towing device to drag Jupiter in to the sweet spot where it will boil away and leave us Jupiter-2, Rocky Core Edition? Oh wait, first we need to drag a Red Dwarf star into our solar system. Damnable prerequisites.

IPV6 Addresses for all...

Then I got a TRS-80 Color Edition could hook to a TV. Suddenly I could "conjure up" raw material with code. If I needed a board I "coded" one. I could build anything I could imagine. I had indeed "become a wizard" and the world did indeed change.

Insert a new column after the address column
Highlight the columns and select the "Text to Columns" button on the data tab/toolbar.
Select the proper delimiter, which is the hardest part. Probably the first space.

In other countries, the government collects payroll information and prepares a tax statement for each citizen. People review the tax bill and pay if they owe money. Or they amend any information on income and pay the recalculated payment.

In the US, citizens are made to calculate their tax responsibility, or hire someone to do it. The government then tells them if they have their calculation correct with threat of penalty if done incorrectly.

Is that like living in a gated community with its own security force?
