My JVC car CD/Receiver detachable faceplate fell out of my jacket and landed in a puddle of rain water. It was in a rectangular plastic case, so it didn't get muddy, but it was pretty much submerged in water for 4 hours before I discovered it missing from my jacket.
Drained it and shook it...

Can you imagine the reaction of the air traffic controllers??? :shocked:
Pilot - "mayday, mayday.. I've gone blind!"
ATC - "#$*%# #$@@& %#$#U@ !!!!"
Possibility of going to Belgium, Germany, and Italy next year. Just curious if any of you have been or have something specific you'd like to see in them.
student video of black panthers, one armed with nightstick / billy club
CNN's Rick Leventhal called into Philly voting location after PA student shoots cameraphone video of armed black panthers intimidating white voters.
(Will update with CNN video of Rick interviewing black panthers shortly.)
I have some severe knee pain due to recent increase in jogging. The treatment is to ease off the intensity, ice packs/heat, proper stretching and jogging/foot form, and inflammation/pain treatment. I've been following all those advice items. Also taking 3 Ibuprofen with a protein shake in the...
Hey, that's wasn't half bad. Definitely far exceeded my expectations.
And while the ending wasn't happily ever after, it wasn't the cathartic tragedy I was expecting either, so :thumbsup:.
I have 4-6 weeks to get at least a decent 2-3 mile run. I ran cross country in high school but that was many years ago.
Should I be interval training every day, every other day, or some combination? My primary focus is to improve quickly but be very very careful to avoid injury.. I'd rather...
givens:
#1: z > y > x
#2: z + y + x = 200
#3: z - y = y - x
calculate z, y, and x:
z + x = 200 - y (from #2)
z + x = 2y (from #3)
2y = 200 - y
3y = 200
y = 66 2/3
z + x = 133 1/3
This is where I get stuck. Just by going through some numbers brute force, I...
I believe it was George Washington, Ben Franklin, or other late 1700 era American president/dignitary.
It was something to the effect that the media / newspapers / reporters are worthless.

There is an upside to this. The Obama campaign (though not Obama himself) actually admitted to this terrible string of gaffes.
But again poor judgment and naivety are on proud display in the Obama campaign. Meeting with terrorists and rogue dictators without pre-condition, thus...
Why was my P&N thread about a CNN article merged with a thread about something Palin said?
* Different sources - one a political pundit, the other a national media organization
* Different viewpoints - one for political gain, the other a media-lead investigation
If you moderators are...
Inspired by the AIG Execs: "We've been bailed out! Let's PARTY!" thread..
It seems to me that Business/Finance theory taught at big schools is quite apparently flawed in that it seems to ignore the gross expenditures by/for corporate executives. This is an honest question, because I did not...
This rumor was reported on several TV news shows today (Oct 6). There was a rumor last week, but the McCain campaign said that she would not be on that episode (but didn't say she wouldn't go on next week).
I'd provide a link but only stuff I could find was from last week. The reports today...
It was a nice try but c'mon, Biden is no Bill Clinton.

I may be responsible for taking over a network that consists of a single router/switch, a single Linux server, and ~20 Linux desktops.
This non-profit organization had most of that equipment donated and the admin mostly volunteered his time (the org always repaid him for any supplies like...
IBM, Intel, and Toshiba are already talking about 22nm node. So I looked around about how these node shrinkages are achieved.
Basically, the lithography people are saying that 16nm is the last node, because the gates which control the electron flow will be 6-10nm. Once you get to a gate...
1. Category 2-4 Hurricane is coming towards your home.
2. Authorities tell you to evacuate because if you stay, you risk death.
3. You decide to stay because of your pets.

Ok I admit I'm not a pet person and have never been one. And yes I know there are other reasons...

A huge :thumbsup: to our brave American military forces as well as the contributions by other coalition members for winning this war against terrorist al-Qaida and other foreign-sponsored terrorists. The reversal of Sunnis now fighting against the...

Bruce and his girlfriend, Emma Heming
Bruce 53

53/2 = 27 (rounded up)
27 + 7 = 34 [half plus seven rule failure]
However, if you add in the age difference of Ashton and Demi, it all works out I think..
This just on local news. Reunion Arena (previous venue of STARS & MAVERICKS) is scheduled to be demolished early next year and Texas Stadium will be vacant at the end of the next COWBOYS season.
The Dallas Film Commish says "Let's blow them up!".
So they are courting film production...
This was really bothering me since Dave's thread got locked, but I knew I had seen Jill Wagner somewhere before some years ago. :)
Infamous episode where a young actress named Katie Homes gets Punk'd
Can someone help me out here?
I've watched this for 20 minutes and have no clue what on earth these people are talking about. Is Big Brother a show about people talking nonsense????

I'm watching on various TV channels scattered reports of power outages all over S. Padre Island, rain and some hail. Levees along the Rio Grande in Brownsville expected to hold in spite of potential flooding.
Hope there is not too much damage, S. Padre Island...
I am not speaking of something that necessarily happens overnight, but something that drastically changes conditions after that technology is widespread. For example: residential electricty, residential plumbing/water, air conditioning and refrigeration, cell phones, etc.
Personally I think...

Does this have anything to do with the TV Series? I never watched it. Vin seems a bit type-cast, but the movie looks half-decent nevertheless, and I'm a Michelle Yeoh fan.
Since we have no webcam videos of ET saying hello, and no alien spacecraft wreckage on display in the Smithsonian, does it logically follow then that superluminal communication/travel really is impossible?
A few things to consider:
