    anyone get the feeling that AIWGuru never held down a real job or only had jobs where he's at the menial level? for commission work, what you earn is your lifeblood, I did that for about a summer and I wouldn't want to go back there ever, it's truly everyman for himself no matter what level...

    is there any rental agency can do this?

    Thank you to all the replies, I will try the airport rentals first, my main problem is that even were I to return it to a regular office, there would be no one to take the car back, but I guess the air port ones would be different since it's a 24 hour go around there.

    Stupid question of the day: WTF is a paddle holster?

    paddle holster has, as has been pointed out, a wide folded section at the back that looks like a paddle. the main advantage is that unlike belt mounted holsters you can mount and detach a paddle holster without taking the belt off, making it much easier if somehow you are required to take it...

    WTF? Why wasn't that jerk fired?

    I think if you stay long enough, you'll find out the rei is the resident moron on this board. although I have to say lately I haven't heard quite as much crap from him as a while ago. I guess all those parents with 2 kids or more in China are just imaging the whole thing? and yes, I've been...

    Anybody fluent in Chinese?

    for your links: note: I say usually because sometimes they can mean different things if used in a different context. 1) passion, usually used to mean high level of enthusiam, as in "he was greeted by the crowd with enthusiam" 2) desire, usually in a sexual context, depending on what words...

    VERY SCARY: strange letters in mail with no return address *UPDATE 2*

    in Chinese (mandarin) the pronounciation of "4" is simliar to the word "death", but it's in a completely different inflection. (4 in the falling inflection, death in the fall-up inflection) spoken correctly, no one will mistake one for the other. and as far as "luck / number association" is...
