You have to admire Nature for making those functions autonomic so that stupid people could continue to live, too. After all, we have to get our entertainment from *somewhere*.

So...you're a recent CompSci grad? :-)

Welcome to the real world. That red pill is a bitch, ain't it?

Today, I learned about the paintbrush "copy format" button in MS PowerPoint.
Yes, I am a PowerPoint engineer. Haven't touched a wrench, fiber stripper or circuit in far too long. :sniff:

Apparently not.

I learned that on December 16, 2006, Aliantha will move into 4th place.

I didn't learn it today but that railway thing happens at the borders between Western and Eastern Europe. Initially I thought "Welllllll, Russia and all the ex-soviet states are going to have to change their rail guage to fit in", then I worked out that there were probably far fewer rail-miles in Western than Eastern Europe. I learnt all this on a frosty night, hmmmm, it must have been 30th December 1992.

That the IRS is not symathetic to those of us in the 31% bracket.

And that YOU WILL PAY THESE SUMBITCHES!

Rather intelligent design, huh. :lol:

This is similar to what I've been dealing with in the SF Bay Area. Many trips I have to change from the "heavy rail" CalTrain to the "light rail" BART. Sometimes I take the Muni train between them.

BART covers the whole Bay Area except here in Santa Clara county. The debate is whether to extend BART to here or build heavy rail up to BART. To build BART costs 4 times as much per mile than heavy rail.

Santa Clara county really needs a good connection to the East Bay. Now, I have to take the Caltrain up the penisula to the city and BART over to Oakland for games (or my previous job). It takes over 2 hours for a 50 mile trip.

Going home, I BART down the east bay and taxi home for $60. I'd like a rail link for that segment, even if I have to change trains.

OH BUT YES!!!
Suddenly I feel like independent wealth would have been a better choice! LOL ;)

Last night I learned that my cat ABSOLUTELY strategically chooses to yurk on the second stair of my home when she is pissed at me. BLAH. :(

If my memory doesn't fail me and dov is the same dov I met at a Cellar GTG something like 15 years ago, she's female.

My Cellar handle was JaniceL in those days...

Just one of the many Important Things They Fail To Teach In School.

Of course, if they knew that simple fact, they wouldn't be teaching undergrads.

OK. Today I learned that I am indeed LD when it comes to math, and given my current situation (being sued) I guess that's a no-brainer. BUT! I did learn something useful today as well! I learned that over and over again, humanity (esp. the rich and snotty part of humanity) makes the same mistake over and over! If you take land away from the small farmer, you grow a revolution! Easy, peasy, japaneasy! A charm, every time. SIGH. NO one reads their history. Pity.

Not if you give him a 40 hr job at a decent wage. Offer that and he'll RUN from that little farm faster than you can grab the deed. Farming is hard work that takes a special temperment :nuts:

well, bruce, you are right.
