I don't mind the desert and the heat, we have Air Conditioning for a reason. Part of the reason I am mad is I was going to bring my girlfriend on an impromptu camping trip.

Give that fella a thumbs up for me

Sorry I was completely wrong, you need to know how many items to initialize the arrays, umm well couldn't you store in a linked list and then iterate through the entries with a counter?

Yeah well better deal with one weather malady than that plus tornados(yes we get em up here), earthquakes, blizzards, extreme cold. Give me the hurricanes.

Hurricane Irene is supposed to be hitting upstate NY, first blizzards now hurricanes. Screw this I am going to Miami.

I have used inMotion hosting, alot and can recommend them, I think they have asp.net

Virus's inject stuff so umm yeah actually they can

Big Blue never fails to impress. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2027517/IBM-produces-brain-chips-capable-mimicking-process-human-thought.html[^] Brain on a chip what next?

Yes that is true, hey I can't help it they were made before I was born. :-p and I don't speak dino very well

Give up and buy a kindle? Sorry man but there is no company to back it up anymore

1986 did they have little dinosaurs in them and did you say yabba dabba do? And get mad when you got locked out by the dog;P That was well before my time all I know about is what I get from playing with relics and the old guys telling horror stories. GASP booting from a cassette tape, no internal hard drive? No 3d graphics, limited interwebz how did ya'll live?

Then again I suppose I only worked on em after 2000 really hard core in about 2005 so I might have a bad impression of them. But if it was not an HP it was a friggin Compaq. My parents have had a string of them that were nothing but trouble

I liked Compaq, they did an excellent job with quality and innovation,

Odd I never had anything but problems with compaq machines

Yet another reason management (who obviously directed the sys admin to do this) is the mother of all problems in IT

Yeah after flying drunk I think I will just sleep through the flight

Why do you think SS was created in the first place? Are you familiar with the rates of poverty for the elderly prior to SS?

To help single mothers and orphans mainly, the rest came afterwards. None of this you retire you get Social Security crap.

You obviously have a very bad impression of unions and seem to think that you and your father and your grandfather got everything you have without any help from anyone. Well, you are very, very wrong. Why do you think you have a 40 hour work week, workmans comp, unemployment insurance, work place safety rules, work provided health insurance, paid sick time, vacation time and holidays? Unions.
Do you really wish that you and your father and grandfather had to work 12-16 hours a day, 6 days a week just to get by? Are you familiar with the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire_[^]?
Do you really want to go back to the days of child labor?

Actually I said they did good things 100 years ago but now they are different and as bad as the people they at one time fought. As to my family they were inventors and entrepreneurs they had no union support and did just fine. I am proud to follow in those footsteps. As to the incomes, as I said, people in degree'd fields IT being one of them are increasing in pay, however those in non degree fields are staying the same. With the rise of inflation the value of their work decreases

It is just you are seeing it more, school shootings have been going on since 1966. :( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting#United_States[^] And every reporter wants a scoop no one wants to read good news they wanna see what bad stuff has happened. So they post about whatever and get people scared about what was before either local or a mere footnote. Going back to school shootings reporting heavily on them became in vogue after columbine. I think it is going to people trying to blame others for their problems. and a society that tolerates it.

I am still in college so I am stuck with the stupid things. Though I try to unplug on the weekends when homework is light and gasp go outside.

I agree oh well I guess paper does not automatically mean a degree is worth anything. Market Saturation for the fail

I flew drunk once and never again that was the worst headache The turbulence was not very well appreciated either.
