Terry@69: My Konica-Minolta A-2 (8 mpix, non-DSLR) cranks out 11.5 meg RAW). FWIW...

Jules@61: ...but not just any IT convention. IIRC, he was on The List?

Abi@12:
‡ Which I thought meant "I love you". What next - red roses are a sign of terrorism?

That's how I learned it! ...but I do put them on sideways when I send in bills <g>.

...and the roses? Will DHS take on Hallmark and FTD? We may yet learn the power of Corporate America versus Federalist Amerika...

(sorry, obligatory 60's flashback)

Pretty much. You're not looking for common sense, practicality or logic when dealing with wingnuts... Governmental wingnuts the more so.

Bruce@370: toss the chips in the freezer and just parcel them out. Alternating them with something salty (say, low fat potato chipe) can get you by until you can make it to the store <g>!

Fragano@306 re CPAP: Two decent links:

One

Two

One of the keys is using distilled water in the humidifier; the other is to run hot water through everything daily and dry the mask thoroughly before using.

Hairy Fishnets?

Bruce, the figure I used when I was teaching EMT classes: "Twenty percent of all pregnancies result in miscarriages". Jim will have newer numbers, but Marilee's is in the same ballpark. Many are missed because they occur near the six week mark and are discounted as an abnormal cycle...

In any case, it's a huge number; and yes, very traumatic.

Thanks, Will #441; I have a minor project that Lulu sounds like a good fit for. ...and since I have my copy of Atlanta Nights <g>, I have a good idea of their quality of production.

Clueless, clueless, clueless.

A moment Googling your hosts here would be so informative. Then again...

Ah, Jim... I thought I had forgotten: "On old Olympus'...". It came right back.

...and as we approach the second of those "half a year" markers, his memory still lives on strongly in this community.

True greatness carves its own memorials; 'tis ours now to keep tidy and brite...

Thank you, Jim.

Thanks as always, Jim.

De vermis being a personal favorite...

(Sweet, Teresa!)

Linky *is* a coincidence singularity; I'll let him explain since he's better known here than I am...

"Greyfir"?

Man, but they are so much a part of our lives...

Darn it, D, that's not a bad take on the original.

...and recursion of a recursive painting is almost . .. well .. darn.

A (brief overview) for those who'd like the poem also.)

Keir #4, after following linux #6's sourcing, here's the link to the direct download of the file you can play in mplayer (at least under Ubuntu 64 on an AMD64 box). You'll need to change the extension to .flv.

This is a bit painful to watch, especially if you first learned to play the song from The Ventures album way back when...

Thanks, Linux #6; that's a darned useful tool!
