    How picky of an eater are you? WOW, THIS GOT EPIC FOR YOU ALL. EPIC LULZ INSIDE!!

    for bommy261, I'm not picky, but I used to dislike brussel sprouts. Then we found out how to roast them: cut them in half, toss in a little olive oil to coat them, spread them on a cookie sheet/roasting pan, and sprinkle a little seasoned salt on. Put them in a hot oven (400)for 30 minutes...

    anyone fly gliders?

    I flew about twenty hours in gliders many years ago. The mechanics of flying a glider are simpler in many ways than a powered plane: no engine control, usually very little radio communication, lower speed than powered planes, and the lack of engine noise makes for a nicer learning environment...

    Ideas on home server...

    If you're thinking about Windows Home server in order to run software RAID (which IS a good idea), you can patch Windows 2000 pro so it will do RAID. The patch involves 3 files, and basically you're switching the program's constants for the names "Windows 2000 Professional" and Windows 2000...

    Where can I get build-your-own kits?

    www.you-do-it.com It's a big electronics (parts) store in Needham, Massachussets. They carry many lines of electronics kits. Good for seeing what's available, at least. It's a fun store to visit, if you're in the area. They don't seem very interested in "mail-order" - no on-line...

    how do you spice up plain oatmeal?

    Butter! Or Margarine. If you like to go really crazy add crumbled bacon. This is probably a question of what you're used to. I was raised eating oatmeal with butter, and I just don't like any of the sweet flavorings. My wife grew up with sweet oatmeal and can't get used to butter...

    Will I die from this?

    Also, remember that prolonged contact with bleach, especially at higher concentrations, will pit the surface of stainless steel. Google bleach and "stainless steel" if you're curious. I'm thinking here of the drain in the sink, or the sink itself. The dishes will be fine.

    Can the airplane take off?

    The whole problem here is the way the question is phrased. It invites an interpretation that asserts an invariant that's not really possible. the question (from the OP) says: ------------------------------------------------ when the airplane moves forward, the conveyor matches its...
