Torpedo

Good luck Jacob

My opinion on this must be understood from the perspective of someone who lives in a country where fire weapons are allowed only for military/police, sport shooting (usually are small caliber, you need to be federated participating in competitions to have one, and your storing safe is strictly controlled), hunting (same restrictive conditions) and very special risky conditions/professions like jewelry, but get ready if you end up using yours. Crime, as in assaults, robbery and such, here is as high as in any other 1st world country--though it could get worse with this crisis--, Yes, you might feel safer carrying a gun, but you're not allowed to. It's that simple. As in any other place, if you really want to, you can get an illegal weapon without a license for a price, but likely just a pistol, not an assault weapon. Further problem is getting the ammunition The bad guys always have weapons to use, the good ones only if they're professionals. Fortunately we don't have this kind of crimes, perhaps for not having the precedents, or for the difficulties getting a "big" weapon, or could be just cultural, I really don't know. What I know is that to me is quite tranquilizing that if I run into a traffic dispute, or any of those silly situations where you might get involved in violence without not even wanting to, it's extremely unlikely that the guy in front will produce a gun and start shooting me and my family. Problem aren't really the guns but the morons who might get to own and use them. IMHO Controlling that is where the key to prevent these horrible crimes resides. But you have a lot of economical interests and other conditions which make it very hard to implement. I wish you get to avoid something like this happening ever again.

Very nice too. I love those Omega clean dials.

^But this seems to be just for an "additional seat license" which I guess requires you already own a license. Wasn't this to get an offer for Amarra clients friends?

Listening! Finally...

Classy. This Daytona and the Omega Speedmaster were my dream watches when I was a kid. Not that I would mind having either of them now.

Cool, I like it! When are they removing it?

Amazing, isn't it? I think that must be from the late 70's. Unsure it's even released on CD.

No worries mate, I'm an easy boy. However if you want cultural exchange, I could get you this I've been offering this for years, but nobody took it. Just in case you were feeling curious http://youtu.be/qmxfTaucDxc Edited, the media tag made something weird which I noticed on Dusty's reply.

Congrats Al, that's truly awesome and you have full rights to feel proud Get well Haj. Wayne, how do you dare!!!??

Happy Bday!!!

Happy Bday!!!

RIP Dave. One of my favorite jazz musicians. Going to listen to this soon

Happy Bday

This. People shouldn't die that young

I tried an average F5 which didn't work that well, but today is a new day... Looks like it works, but still the toolbar buttons won't work Ctrl+F5 isn't solving the toolbar issue, so probably an update-Chrome-XP thing.

My highest concerns about the new iMac come from the Nvidia GPUs. Their chips get darn hot, I had not 2 but 3 of their GPUs going fubar and damaging the mobo on my computer, which has worked more than 5 years without any "serious" problem once I moved to an ATI chipset GPU. It's possible Apple decided to go with the 5400 rpm HDD to avoid excessive heating. The 7200 ones get pretty warm under heavy use.

Some people say it's very different but that it runs faster/better. What's the problem with it?

I'm having troubles with the reply features, the emoticon legend won't open, nor other style, code options, quote isn't working well... this on Chrome and Windows XP.

Eventually the quote thing isn't working that well.

The cast is to completely immobilize it to "cool it down," and revist in two weeks. I asked the wtf with the pain if I'd not done new damage, and he took out a highlighter on this section of my MRI report:<br /><br />Severe ankle joint osteoarthritis with complete loss of cartilage along the bulk of the tibial plafond as well as essentially complete loss of cartilage along the medial talar dome. There is marked bony hypertrophy along the syndesmosis, worse on the tibila side and there is evidence of prior ORIF of the distal fibula. This is clearly chronic. Large subcortical cysts are forming on both sides of hte markedly degenerated tibiotalar joint. Chronic moderate posterior subtalar joint osteroarthristis. Osteoarthristis of the third tarsometatarsal joint, also likely chronice. Mild pre-Archilles bursitis. This could be an acute finding.<br /><br />I have to look up what most of that means, but I don't really care. Truth is I'm thrilled. It's just my regular old messed up ankle that I love. Apparently falling eight feet onto whatever that report is talking about needs to be avoided, but I'll be fine. It may take two weeks. It may take two months. I'll be back to normal, and that's all tha matters.</p></blockquote>arghhh the fracture just has screwed up the tiny balance on that joint, so the chronic damage now has decided to ache. Possibly pain will go away once you can start PT. Sorry Vicki, get well soon.

Happy Birthday!!!

Uuuuh that's huge
