I thought we were talking about an MRI machine - we all know medicine isn't commercialized, so what are we talking about again?

Your pediatrician took pictures of you/your children?

Yeah - I think I'd have at *least* MSNBC give him a visit.

As someone who is a staunch opt-outer to the backscatter/millimeter wave machines I am here to tell you that the alternative is great! The 'thorough pat-down' is more of a 3-minute full-body massage. Aside from the screener running the back of his/her hand down my crotch it was something I would happily have paid for (could you imagine the signs? "Get through security faster - take the 'massage' option: $5"). I should also note that they screened me such that no one else could come through the machine, causing an even longer wait for those behind me.

tl,dr: The pat-down feels great, screw the scanner and get something in return!

I should also note that they swiped the screener's gloves for explosive residue afterwards - a real increase in security as opposed to the warm fuzzy feeling provided by the scanners.

And here I thought corporate personhood was real now.

What do you consider a decent formatting tool?

Yes, pushing harder will get it in gear, but at the expense of shortening your synchros life - much better for the transmission to hold off on ramming it into first until you're slow enough that it slides in easily. Or just leave it in neutral, let the clutch out and use your brakes. When you're ready to go again, just shift into first.

Remember: brakes are almost always cheaper than a clutch or a transmission rebuild.

I have seen nearly that exact warning on far too many discs (audio and games).

Those who have experiences like the parent understand the value of higher education, and that it has jack all to do with what rote knowledge you gain. In other words, please mod parent up.

I always thought it was from kyuu kyuu or sadness in Japanese (not that I speak a lick of it) - can anyone more knowledgeable confirm?

And I dropped dB from the quote - 10*log10(2)dB, of course!

FTFY ;)

You don't need to worry about EDGE to DDoS AT&T, just send lots of SMSs - that should handily take care of their network (or any other providers for that matter).
