  1. http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/12/02/0130216/Somali-Pirates-Open-Up-a-Stock-Exchange "'Four months ago, during the monsoon rains, we decided to set up this stock exchange. We started with 15 "maritime companies" and now we are hosting 72. Ten of them have so far been successful at hijacking,' Mohammed [a wealthy former pirate who took a Reuters reporter to the facility] said. ... Piracy investor Sahra Ibrahim, a 22-year-old divorcee, was lined up with others waiting for her cut of a ransom pay-out after one of the gangs freed a Spanish tuna fishing vessel. 'I am waiting for my share after I contributed a rocket-propelled grenade for the operation,' she said, adding that she got the weapon from her ex-husband in alimony. 'I am really happy and lucky. I have made $75,000 in only 38 days since I joined the "company."'"
  2. Sucks when you call in a professional for something that is simple. All about the willingness to live with you breaking it yourself.
  3. Pull the screen out, pull the line off from the solenoid, clean it all See if the solenoid is cycling by turning the heat up and the humidity control to max no click, no work. Is the water turned on?
  4. Your humidifier doesn't run unless the heat is on. The thermostat should call for humidity and tell the solenoid to open and run water over that screen. Does your thermostat have a humidity setting like ON or 50% or anything?
  5. I think I would have said "how much?" "lets sign the deal" "how much?" "sign here" "get out"
  6. I like West Jefferson, very fair and always straight with me.
  7. Time Warner only delivers basic cable to my house, no digital channels, no road runner. They aren't investing in new areas, they probably aren't spending anything on keeping the old areas running either.
  8. I was a network administrator at Huntington and a Network Engineer at UUNet
  9. I prefer to hunt with rifles, so I go to Minnesota.

    GPS Units

    I have a tomtom and go all over the US with mine (including hawaii). It gets me close to where I want to be. Some annoyances. It doesn't know which side of the street things are on. The maps are VERY out of date and cost $100 to bring up to date (after a year). It takes FOREVER to find the damn satellites.
  11. Not sure if this works for you but, http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=health+care+administration&l=columbus%2C+oh
  12. Not mirror grinding. A 16" scope has quite a few base parts.
  13. You have to ask yourself, how much is it worth to not work. Buy a server and try it yourself.
  14. She has a Nikon D90. Right now she has some fixed lights.
  15. I want to get my wife a portable strobe set with a wireless trigger. Also is there a way to send each picture, as it is taken, to a computer via wifi?
  16. I was just wondering if anyone else has done this. Where the best place for parts is, etc... I guess I will be the first, eh?
  17. I don't think I need to pay taxes because they cannot do math. I don't feel the need to pay $60/seat to watch hockey either. If the tickets cost less, they would sell more of them and make the difference up in concessions. Look at the new Clippers park, cheap to get in and they make piles of money on the food/beer.
  18. You have to drain the noodles, the step she missed is rinsing them in cold water to stop the starches from clinging to each other.
  19. If you buy a windows machine, you have to buy microsoft office for windows.
  20. Here is the truth as I see it. Apple controls both the hardware and the software. Their stuff is sexy and will probably get you laid. Microsoft has to run on just about anything that is out there, therefore their quality has to suffer in order to fit in whatever hardware that comes to the table. Also, you will not get laid with a windoze machine. Granted, I am a little drunk right now but I am typing this on my MacBook Pro. The reality is this, both products have their pluses and minuses. Both have a following. If you want a nice machine you can go either way.
  21. I have found 2 houses on realtor.com. Are you looking to buy a house or compare prices? Right now is an excellent time to buy a house as the market is down for sellers and they are really desperate. That and add on the fact that most people list in the spring so they are crazy desperate if their house is still on the market.
  22. Cut telescope parts out of plywood. Make some other various parts for windmills.
  23. I was thinking more along these lines. http://lumberjocks.com/SPalm/blog/2248
