    Is drinking water bad after getting wasted?

    Anybody have any hard data on what the ratios should actually be? For instance, seven beers will dehydrate you so much that you'll need X ounces of water to rehydrate you? I guess this would have to be indexed to body-mass, but it would be helpful to know... ... not that if you're really F'ed...

    A moment of Silence please......Baseball has just died....

    A sad day indeed... and as for not being a class act, sure the guy had some low points early on in his career, but what other player gives up $30 million the team basically owes him and recruits another player to take his place? He's as decent as they come. And to see how he interacted with my...

    how's this for sucking? my prof. wrote the class textbook

    Well, I don't know -- at least you know the professor knows the stuff. I'm a grad student and if I get to professor level, I'll definitely write a book or two so I know the stuff in it is important and good. It is a little raw that the person is profitting off of it, but you did say it was a...

    XP can't see router?

    Thanks, Jack (and Scott). Unfortunately the unique nature of this problem is that the cable modem isn't even plugged into the router -- it's on a totally separate stream into the computer. If I unplug the modem altogether, I still can't get xp to get an IP address from the router for its NIC...

    XP can't see router?

    Thanks Scott. I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for in the netstat output, and can't copy, paste the large amount of text here. After listing the two nics, it gives lots of numbers that resemble my public IP through the cable modem. Both lights are lit on the NICS, as well as...

    XP can't see router?

    Hello all, strange problem here. I have two computers that I'm trying to network. One is running XP pro, the other is running 98se. So I have one NIC in the 98se machine and it can ping both itself and the Linksys router (which I'm only using as a switch). It draws IP and all is good. I...

    Would you agree to shave your legs if your girlfriend agreed to shave "down south"?

    I don't care where they have hair -- as long as it's 100% pure woman. Ok, so maybe facial hair is a little iffy, but legs, pits, box, nothing worth trading there...

    Honest question about motorcycles

    << If you find it loud, complain to your local PD and tell them of the problem, if they find it too loud they can ask those guys to move off peacefully. I can imaging having 200 harley firing up and heading down the street in the middle of the night.. even I would complain. After seeing last...

    Honest question about motorcycles

    << your mom sure likes the noise and vibration! >> Heh... thanks, owned. Seriously, thanks for the honest answer. I'm not sure if the laws indeed are permissive that they should be -- considerations of restedness should probably outweigh the considerations of fun -- but this has been quite...

    Honest question about motorcycles

    All right, I know a lot of you guys drive bikes and can give me a straight answer on this. I'm a little upset, but I like to be rational about things, so I'll ask. After a hard week of work, I'll go to bed on Friday night, trying to sleep to at least 10am tomorrow, but I won't be able to...

    What do you guys think of Ceramic Knives?

    Great ceramic knives available at Blue Ginger w/ a free cookbook as well. It's actually far harder to break a ceramic knife than most people say. You basically need to drop it on its end, which would also kill a steel knife.

    Was Yoda a jedi knight?

    Of course he was... what kind of question is that? I guess he could be some kind of uber-jedi-knight, but then he would be one by default. He was definitely a jedi -- Obi-Wan calls him one -- so I guess the question is whether one can be a jedi without being a jedi knight...

    RIAA wants to hack your PC & delete your MP3's

    Actually, according to the article, the RIAA already has permission to do this -- legally. That's troubling. What's more troubling is that the amendment they wanted added (which just goes to show that people shouldn't be so eager to support their gov't in this troubled time) which says that...
