    Just tried and got error.

    Are the google ads user, machine, or ip specific?

    Even though the thread on K&N (that I posted in) died a couple days ago. Just curious.

    Hostile work environment/sexual harrassment

    If everything to my face is all innuendo and inflection (so that a transcript would not reflect the tone accurately), and it is unlikely that co-workers would cooperate (fear of job etc.), what are my options as far as legal action, and what are the likely outcomes?

    Is there anything special required

    Just wondering if you have to pay some sort of import fees or pass inspection, or if it's as simple as driving it down and registering it? Edit: nevermind - I didn't realize nova scotia is 1000 miles in the middle of ****** nowhere. Not going to drive a 200k mile 25 year old car home from...

    Is there an innate human desire for precision?

    I had this in my mind this morning, and I even went to the computer to post, but my hands were still clumsy and I closed my post window. So I just decided to take a shower. Less eloquently worded than the first version, I offer my second attempt. What struck the spark was a line in a book...

    Is pure oxygen flammable?

    If you had a chamber with non-reactive walls filled with 100% oxygen gas, no other gases and no solid material, could you make the oxygen somehow combust or explode?

    Keep my jewel cases, just the liner notes, or toss them all?

    So I'm pretending that I'm cleaning house. Despite the fact that I never use them, I've kept the jewel cases and liner notes (couple hundred) under the pretension that if I get hard up for money I can always sell them (with the CD's of course). Despite the fact that this is somewhat logical, I...

    Donation etiquette

    I've never understood the value of a dollar, so I don't Ebay things that could get me a couple bucks, but could cost me hassle, time, and having to deal with scammers. For example, I recently purchased a Razer mouse for ~$60. A couple weeks later, it's hurting my wrist, so I spend another $60...

    A question about an "effect" I've noticed in some trance music

    Since the thread here so conveniently provided a link to an example of this effect (NSFW, btw), I figured now would be an opportune time to ask. In particularly "spirited" trance - not hard, but I would say more anthemic ... at some points the music takes on a weird echoey effect and actually...

    YA"is there a Doctor here?"T

    Yes, it's probably just muscle pain, and yes I will go see a real doctor if it doesn't go away by friday, but you guys are here, so what the hey :D I have annoying (not debilitating. It feels like sore muscle pain from lactose build up, but has been present for 4 days)pain in the joints of my...

    I ****** hate sick people

    Why do I as a healthy individual have no right to my health by forbidding my sick coworkers from coming in and hacking and snotting all over the place? They can't smoke next to me, why the hell are they allowed to sneeze next to me? :|

    Has anyone ever managed to remove the tape they stick on the side of CD's

    Well it's kinda rhetorical, and most people probably aren't buying CD's these days, and I'm not really angry or anything. I guess I just needed to nef. Edit: And the domestic release of Ulrich Schnauss' Far Away Trains Passing By comes with a 6 track bonus disc W00T! Also, while I'm at...

    Can I do a chargeback

    I had previously (like a year and a half ago) downloaded a trial copy of digital media recovery software (for when your compact flash poops out). At the time, I determined it worked, but before I paid for it (it puts "banners" on the recovered images), I thought I'd give scandisk a go, and...

    Was someone looking for the name of this song recently?

    I'm probably just smoking crack, but I would swear that about a week ago someone posted a short clip of music that had a similar guitar riff and wanted to know the song artist. I just heard this and thought, "hey that's the song".. I did a search for "song" and didn't find the thread I was...

    MFA?

    Was sitting on the can reading through some old papers in which my instructors had lavished unwarranted praise. At the time - say as a Sophomore in college - I was as much a slackass as I am now, or as I was in 4th grade. In particular, a poetry class in which despite turning on only half...

    Ever forget you were out of clean underwear?

    10 PM and I just remembered that I'm wearing my last clean pair of underwear. Actually, it's not even underwear, it's cotton gym shorts because I actually wore my last pair of underwear yesterday. Well actually, those were flannel "sleep" boxers. Oddly enough, they are easily the most...

    Canon SD450 or Canon S60

    Anyone done a side by side comparo of these two? I'm looking for a compact P&S as a gift. It doesn't have to be "club" small(like the fuji z1), particularly if that size it at the expense of image quality. I haven't actually narrowed it to these two, but it looks like these 2 are the best...

    I picked up some 42 Below

    But now I am wondering why 42 Below is called that .. is that the temperature at which ethyl alcohol freezes or something? Or just a random temperature that seems really cold?

    What was the point of "raking" a muscle car

    I even remember I had a Hot Wheels car with an adjustable rear plastic piece so you could adjust the angle. At any rate, I was thinking about this on the drive home from work yesterday for no reason and thought I would post here ... and then I forgot until now, for some reason. When I was...

    Have you ever dreamed

    In the past I've dreamed that I had gotten blazed, and then when I woke up, BAM! stone cold sober. Kinda a letdown :D It's interesting to contemplate how the brain could do that, but it's not totally out of line, since I was already familiar with the sensation. Anyway, last night, I dreamt...

    2001 A Space Orbyssey

    Somewhere along the way, I acquired up some trance-type electronic music that samples 2001 A Space Odyssey. Since I actually listen to it, I want to pick the silver version, but I don't know anything about it. There is no ID3 information, and the only link that looks like it might be a...

    Did you know that the Goo Goo Dolls

    I was sitting here creating some pars for the FLAC's of my CD collection, and happened to glance at the date - 1995 - of A Boy Named Goo. It was hardly an exceptional album, but Name received so much play that I can still hear the opening like I listened to it 5 minutes ago. And who can...

    How do you cool a spacesuit in a vacuum?

    This has been bugging me all day. Phase change relies on an external environment to dump the heat energy into. In a vaccuum, the compressor would overheat probably more quickly than the spaceman, right? You could always carry a finite supply of refrigerant and just evacuate it after the...

    A way to feed carputer playlist information directly to the HU

    Not really sure where this goes, so move if necessary :) Here's the dealio - current generation Alpine HU's support (with a $100 KCA420i adapter) connection to an ipod. This allows you to access, search and play your music through the head unit, using the HU display for song title, etc. I...

    advice on buying a dremel

    Can't fit my angle grinder into a tight spot, so I need to get a dremel .. (plus it will be good for case modding, right? :)) Since I basically only need the tool once a year or so, I can't think of any reason that I need the cordless version. Contrariwise, It's not like I will be using it...

    Not medical advice, but advice about medical advice ..

    Actually .. I just typed out a couple paragraphs about my malaise, and then I realized that the very fact of having to ask ATOT for help with it was perpetuating my inability to assert control in my life. So I deleted the juicy parts. Sorry. However, I will post this much: - sought...

    FYI 2405FPW ghosts while fps gaming

    Well it's a gorgeous screen, but everyone who ever bothered to write about it said that there wasn't any ghosting. Either they aren't heavy into gaming or they lied. It's not terribly bad - pixel or two of chop that makes gameplay seem slightly laggy. Will have to play it out and see if I can...
