    Does anyone really understand Office for Business licensing?

    The part I am confused on is accountability, and how Open Open Licensing is... If you order 5 Microsoft Office keys, and are installing a mix of downgradeable office products, you get 50 activations... The part that confuses me, is why they would sell a random Joe 5 licenses ($1800 worth of...

    Lightning strike

    So... 10 feet , 2 feet off the ground? I guess a reverse jump might be close to that.. but I don't think indirect lightning strikes would cause kinetic energy enough to throw an adult that far? Either way, glad it worked out for you.

    Oh man, this is gonna be good: Texas father shoots boy, 17, to death in daughters rm

    No I dont think either of those have to do with my point... I would rather not get raked over the coals for legitimately defending myself or family, than err on the other side..

    Oh man, this is gonna be good: Texas father shoots boy, 17, to death in daughters rm

    What I find messed up is this adoption of the terms "bad shoot" and "good shoot" and how you guys find an excuse to use them as often as possible, as if possibly injecting morals into the action vs culpability and legality ... heck even using the word "shoot" instead of shooting, shot...

    Need legal options on stalking situation in Massachusetts

    I'm sure as soon as some newsworthy headline comes out of boston about a woman being attacked, we will have you posting claiming this is the girl, and we were so unhelpful. If "put a modicum of effort into coming up with a few new, safer travel paths, to throw a stalker off her routine, and...

    Thor 2 - discussion thread (spoilers)

    I thought the end was a bit underwhelming... the bad guys had black-hole or, teleportation hole grenade tech, and the professor basically made up some spears that did the same thing, and that plus an extra hammer toss took care of him? I will say I lol'd at Mjolnir chasing Thor around as he...

    Need legal options on stalking situation in Massachusetts

    I almost spent the time quoting every ridiculous thing you said in this thread, basically pointing to you being an attention whore, but decided this was enough. We are SO lucky that your last job recruiter told you to leave facebook and focus on here... The funniest part is that the...

    Runner refuses to wear 666; thought of it "makes her sick"

    For a while, different random purchases I made, would add up to $6.66, in a 3 month period it happened about 15-20 times... was pretty funny.

    Ohio University student claims she was raped. Incident caught on camera

    If the story went... Guy gets girl drunk, mixes her stronger drinks than she realizes, keeps pushing drinks, or potentially other drugs mixed in, on her, then when her inhibitions are low and shes not aware of where she is or what is going on, pleasures her, and her body reacts appropriately...

    *UPDATE: CAVE COMPLETE* Boehner's Caving: Say to allies I want a fiscal deal

    Nothing idiotic about that.. correct. What is rather idiotic... is going into this with no plan, or a rather horrible plan. Shutdown the government, bring us to the brink of default, then cave.... All they had votes/numbers for was to stall and potentially cause some major harm, and this...

    I quit smoking.

    Snus works, but not as well as ecigs, now snus + 0mg ecigs works fine... but its the "act" of smoking, think of all the chewed up pens that ex-smokers have around :P

    I quit smoking.

    Nothing works as well as ecigs, penny on the dollar in expense, still get the pleasure of nicotine, without the smell or health problems of smoking, nice clean habit. Most don't realize it but there are US sources for nicotine liquid and you can mix your own for about $1-2 a week... replaceable...

    I believe in God I just don't believe the bible

    If you believe that christ died for your sins and accept him into your heart, you are golden, even if you sin a shitload and don't follow the bible, that is the main thing.

    Is The School Hiding Something? Kendrick Johnson Murder or Freak Accident?

    The mat would be rather heavy to do that with, but you could at least knock it over... Gym mats are heavy, especially large ones like that. The shoes being above him might make sense if he was retrieving them and pushed them up, but then he just passed out? I would imagine you could knock one...

    Custom Aquarium PC

    Hot spots make sense, I dont have any thermal imaging equip to check that, but I do know it lowers the oil temperature in general vs no bubbles. Anyway, a thing of the past now that I have a radiator cranking on it. :P

    Custom Aquarium PC

    Just today I set it up with a 140mm high density fin rad in push pull config with a pump, it keeps the oil temps locked within 15F of room temp with the current setup, going to add more heat later and see how well it works.

    Custom Aquarium PC

    It did help some, injecting more room temperature air into the liquid giving heat somewhere to escape, but it wasn't super effective by any means... it was enough that for normal use, of an i3-2100, it was sufficient... but not a heavy use long term solution.

    Custom Aquarium PC

    Meant to upload this a few months back. For now it is running an i3-2100 on a mini-itx board, with an orb cooler, SSD, etc. The biggest goal of this build was to see how small I could go with a fully contained aquarium computer. I had built a Puget monster at one point, and it was somewhat...

    What equipment do you need to climb a 120' antenna tower?

Ive freeclimbed them in the past for fun (young/dumb), but need to do it for a side-job and was looking for advice from climbers on what would be best. Id imagine some kind of self-contained climbing gear (ie, me->rope->tower) rather than a rope...
