Is that alright with you?
No, the non-word "alright" is not all right with me.

Have you ever seen the applications people build around MS Access back in the day? It was, I am not exaggerating, a nightmare.
One of my former employers built a business around Access. Many of our clients (with 10-20 employees) used our Access "apps" for their main workflow.
One user on a local PC wasn't bad, but stick the Access file blob file out on a file share and let multiple users hit it... classic cascade failure would rapidly ensue. Hey, job security for me.
Aspartame has been linked to anal seepage
You sure? Perhaps you were thinking of Olestra.
I really liked the new engine room. It looks like what I would imagine a starship's engine room to look like -- no pretty swirly light tubes, just raw engineering.
wait, who said that members of the military would actually be *willing* to fight a war against other Americans?
They wouldn't be shooting "Americans", they'd be shooting "domestic terrorists". Everyone knows that terrorists aren't even human, so, no problem, fire away.
Time was running at 10% speed during this 3,000-person battle, which is the maximum amount of time dilation possible."
Cool: bullet time!
after playing the old game Conflict: Middle East Political Simulator
Thank you for mentioning the old DOS Conflict. I spent many an enjoyable hour playing that game. Only now in hindsight do I realize how nice it was to have a fun yet challenging game that wasn't a cliche side-scroller, RPG, or FPS.
It's kind of funny... often when I played Conflict, I'd try to nuke somebody and still win the game... never succeeded. Perhaps that was the game designer's subtle way of saying the nuclear option is a no-win scenario?
Anyway, this new Endgame Syria bears a striking resemblance to Conflict, almost to the point of being a rip-off -- Conflict had newspaper headlines too, influenced directly by your political and military in-game decisions. But if Endgame Syria raises awareness of the Middle East's issues, I guess I can forgive the author.
no need to derail yet another thread with it.
You must be new here.
MTB
... is not that bad if you've got ... slick tyres
Agreed -- that's what I use. And you can air up those slick tires to rock-hard pressures for even less rolling resistance, while still retaining some degree of ride quality thanks to the suspension.
I don't think so. I'm an RF electronics engineer,
So, how about SWR? The antennas (and connectors) on consumer Wifi APs are probably the bottom of the barrel as far as quality goes, so IMHO it's plausible that excessive SWR is slowly frying the RF final stage transistors.
It's the devil you know vs. the devil you don't.
That's the situation I was in a couple years ago. Got an offer from a startup-type place at a significant pay increase from my current stable job. After much hemming and hawing, I finally decided to take it... however when I went to give notice, my old employer volunteered a counteroffer... so I stayed, and got the best of both worlds.
To the OP, you might just tell your current boss that you're thinking about leaving and see what he says. His answer, either way, will help you decide what to do.
Tried one. Useless. You'd also come back to a dead car battery, they draw a lot of current.
is, IMO, a nicer device to boot.
Huh, it never even occurred to me to evaluate a device's startup sequence when considering a purchase.
Becoming HIV positive is adding about $20k a year in medical bills for the rest of your life.
Becoming HIV positive is also a choice a man makes for himself (unprotected sex). Infant circumcision, isn't.
$313 is a small price to pay to not have one's privates butchered.
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
