Sounds like Battlestar Galactica. Oldschool equipment, non-networked systems.

Seems quaint. Until you realize that they were the only ones that survived.

I overclocked my graphing calculator in University. Did f-all except run a tiny bit faster and burn through batteries. Got lots of nerd-cred for it though. Ah, fun times.

I can here hoping someone would have commented on how they'd love a love-bot companion.

But nobody had.

Now I feel awkward.

Switch the frame layout to 'classic' and it doesn't look half bad. Still think the right hand column is too wide, personally.

The default view though? Not a fan.

I'll pipe in as well. After doing my research, I found the Ketogenic Diet and it was fantastic. I lost 100lbs in a year (from 299 -> 199)

I'd highly recommend reading 'The Ketogenic Diet' and 'The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook' both by Lyle MacDonald, particularly if you have a scientific interest in it, as well as a nutritional one.

In response to your question, I did not feel like I lost any mental faculties during it. The first week was fairly difficult, hungry and all, but after that, it's pretty easy. Best of luck!

We have the same sort of problems here in Canada.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find a serviette, I seem to have spilled some poutine on the chesterfield.

The Narn would like to have a word with you.

I'm in the same boat as you.

And so far on this topic, not one person has stated that they'd want to live SHORTER.

I would. I'm a social introvert. Shy, self-conscious, without a spouse or kids. Another x hundred years of the same doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. In fact, another 20 - 30 doesn't really appeal to me.

I think you might be off with your maths there.

1TB/month @ $0.125 per GB would be $128/month
Next 49 TB/month @ $0.110 per GB would be $lots/month

That actually happened in town here.

Some enterprising criminals phoned around to a 'borough' at the south end of town, and managed to convince a good number of people that they were calling from Emergency Services and wanted their assistance testing the 911 system at a certain time. Needless to say, at the specified time, 911 operators were flooded with fake calls. As is policy, every 911 call has to be responded to, so suddenly all police and emergency services were stuck in the south end of town.

The criminals then took the opportunity to rob the Costco at the north end.

As far as I know, they were never apprehended.

Just don't send it to a Canadian political party or school by accident...

I heard about this place called Recall...

Have you ever fired a semi-automatic .22? It's not uncommon to go through a brick (1000 rounds) or two in a few hours. Most ranges don't even require you to pick up your casings - they just have a broom so you can brush them out of the way.

Except they wouldn't actually be girls...
