Banned three spammers today while they were still on line.

(It doesn't take much to satisfy us old guys).

One of the problems for us meat eaters is finding an alternate source of protein. I'm just finishing up a dish of beans with kale, pasta, ricotto cheese, and pancetta for breakfast, but I was past 65 before a bean ever passed my lips.

An approach is to think of meat as a condiment. Use sparingly ...

How could they have missed the Plymouth Cricket?? It was a re-badged Hillman Avenger, absolutely awful.

Kip Patterson

Only from the white European perspective! ;) I'm sure gorillas weren't folk tales to native tribes in Africa.

You bet!

Of course, what did we know about Africa then? Nothing that we really want to think about these days.

I don't think Bigfoot is out there, but I'm keeping an open mind since it ...

Kip Patterson

Just as a point of reference for those who think we've found every large creature - the Gorilla, no small mammal, was unknown to science and believed to be a folk tale until 1847.

Kip Patterson

Yes, and one of the commonest pieces of "high-tech" gear is an ultrasound imager so that girl babies can be aborted.

Kip Patterson

Do you block torrents? If you allow downloading of videos and music (which you shouldn't in my opinion) you will need a lot more than a T-1 - say ten t-1's.

I wonder if it will be like the New York power outages - a slew of babies in nine months? It isn't a joke - when a major outage occurs the hospitals count out nine months and tell them staff no vacations, plan on overtime.

And he will probably be sued by the RIAA for unauthorized use of CD's as fuel.

Kip Patterson

Truly sad news. Let us hope for a miracle.

Kip Patterson

LPRB?

Is that the initials of someone Brent would date?

Kip Patterson

Messerli & Kramer are some dandy folks. The minnesota attorney general sued them in 2004 for unlawful practices.

Kip Patterson

It will be interesting to see how that sets with the FTC. If we had a real government it would be dinged immediately.

Kip Patterson

Hell of a deal, but:

1) There is no way to reach them by phone, and no web site with flight status info.

2) They use very plane they own full-time. If one does not come out of maintenance as scheduled you are stuck. They have no agreements with other airlines to accept their tickets.

3) They fly ...

Needless to sy, she should see a urologist ASAP and get an xray of the kidneys and bladder to see if there are more of these buggers in there. You really want to control this with medication before it requires ultrasound destruction (Lithotripsy) or surgical intervention.

Stones come in many kinds ...

Kip Patterson

I uae it and like it. Being able to adjust the amount of detail, set watch boxes, etc, is a big help for me.

Kip Patterson

I think these weren't mentioned:

Queen Elizabeth
Moshe Dayan
Bert Lahr (The Cowardly Lion)
Napoleon
Belushi
DeGaulle
Jimmy Carter
Winston Churchill
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I see, this douche was illegally file-trading.

Still, the RIAA's position inches increasingly closer to just "outlawing" copying altogether, regardless of purpose.

Sounds right to me.

Seems like the purchase of a CD should license its content for use by a household, including transferring it to ...

Kip Patterson

Sounds good, except that what he is being sued for is using KaZaa to distribute copies.

I can't find the original coplaint on the 'net, but the summary judgement notes that he claims to have copied CD's he owned to his hard drive. The RIAA appears to have made no objection. The judgment against him ...

Kip Patterson

Oh, that's good. Not as good as a sucking sump pump, but good.

Kip Patterson

I can't find any mention of this on any reputable site, including his own.

Kip Patterson

Not had too much experience, but I would be looking at noise level, trash screen (depending upon how clean the water is).

Now that is a pretty scary thought for Christmas day.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Actually, the FCC is powering down all the older OnStar systems. When cellular goes all-digital next year, they will no longer work unless the phone home portion is replaced.

In any case, I'm sorry for his loss. Having something major stolen is a lot like being assaulted.

You got lots of good advice. The secret with a flour gravy is to add the water to the flour slowly, starting with just enough to make a paste. Slowly dilute it.

An alternative which will serve you well is to learn to make a roux, defined as flour added to butter, 1.5 measures of flour to one ...

Kip Patterson

That makes sense, although I was under the impression that the Navy used jets for COB these days.

Kip Patterson

Looks to be a COB - Carrier On Board - the equivalent of UPS, delivering supplies (and people).

Kip Patterson

It's the trade industry body that rates films NC, R, etc. It also reviews the posters that advertise the films.

Kip Patterson

Man, you guys do realize that you have traumetized Norm into a catatonic state from which he may never recover??

We've been trying to keep him away from Windows Vista so this bad thing wouldn't happen.

While those tests can be fun, they are usually reserved for colorectal issues.

The PSA is a blood test.

You usually get the finger up the butt in addition, but the doctor can only feel about 30% of the prostate, and can miss little tumors is the area that he/she (think smaller fingers) can reach ...

Kip Patterson

Pulling out well-worn soapbox:

White, male, over 50 - PSA test once a year.

Non-white, or with a family history of Prostate cancer, start at 40.

It will save your life - it saved mine.

Kip Patterson

The posters in that thread don't seem to know much about the world of the internet.

His ISP didn't give anybody his browsing history. He was caught uploading.

What a dummy.

Your post count will forthwith be reduced to 300 * 4 / 20 = 600.

This is a zero-tolerance web site.

Dirver was 25, a wanted felon.

Victim 24, male, muslim last name.

Police report it as no accident - an intentional suicide attempt.

Kip Patterson

Keep up the good work. All folks with chronic diseases need it, and it's nice to see you found a way to help.

Kip Patterson

RIAA won. She lost.

Right or wrong? The RIAA is a nightmare of incompetence and abuse, but she did take their property and they got enormous punative damages.

Kip Patterson

I format every few months.. so its a norm and if the norm for me would be a few days after getting a notification then there is nothing they could say as its a norm and I do write down the dates I format in a log.. habit of documenting stuff :D

I'd whip that drive with 0's several times and swap ...

Kip Patterson

Wonderful!

Especially the Kenworth front end that they tore off trying to tow a fully-laden rig by the front bumper!!
