I got that one wrong, too, even though I wasn't. But I let it go, because everything on my Wish List is out of stock anyway, and 250 points won't matter much. :D

Battered babies. Tasty! I still get PMs every now and then over that one. I also got in big, large, throbbing trouble for posting a picture to illustrate the Daily Mail's headline typo of a story about the Large Hadron Collider. I'll give you three guesses as to which word they misspelled. :D

If I see someone online and want to call them at odd hours, I will generally only do so within a few minutes of their most recent post. Just seeing them listed at the bottom of the screen as being online doesn't necessarily mean anything. A closed computer browser isn't likely to "keep alive"...

Subpart B - Leasing regulations § 376.12Written lease requirements. (k) Escrow funds. If escrow funds are required, the lease shall specify: Written lease requirements. - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

True enough there is no mention that our guns must be the same size as the government's, but there is equally no mention that ours can't be or shouldn't be. How far does "bear arms" go? When the citizens of the United States sought to record forever a guarantee of their rights, they devoted...

Read the rest of it here. It's a story from 1999. Violence Is Becoming a Threat for Homeless - NYTimes.com In 1999, the National Coalition for the Homeless began documenting these violent hate crimes against the homeless, and have issued annual reports. Here's an update from 2009, ten years...

I haven't heard about it, but there might be. I can't see how it can get much smaller and still pick up a reliable signal, though. The dish is like a large salad bowl already. At home, with a much larger dish, the signal strength for all 3 satellites is in the 90+ range (out of 100). With...

The Dish Network's successor to the VuQube, the Tailgator. The Tailgator is made by King Controls, who also makes the VuQube. They only make the V-10/V-1000 VuCube, and the V-2500 (Tailgater). The V-10 (mountable) and V-1000 (portable with a handle and cute as a button little rubber feet)...

You mean where brokers discuss in public the various and sundry ways to screw over drivers and carriers? Uhm, no.

No. That would fall under the "two wrongs don't make a right" category. Now, as a punishment, if society at large (A.K.A. not a vigilante mob) or a judge or jury should decide that what's good for the goose is also good for the gander, then so be it. But you can't just go and steal some guy's...

Re: New York paper publishes names of gun owners with interactive map I think if you should be required to have a license to keep and bear arms, then you should also be required to have a license to practice your religion, and to exercise free speech, and to print a newspaper, and to peaceably...

Well, as a Sprinter owner, you get to be viewed upon in one of two lights, the light of pity, because you own a Sprinter and they pity you, or in the light of snooty and snotty, because you own a Mercedes. One other huge benefit is, when you break down you will often find yourself at a...

FWIW, when I had my short wheelbase Ford E-350 I used an air mattress. It was a double-height twin bed from Walmart. $35 or so. I used the Coleman AC/DC pump to pump it up. Took 3 or 4 minutes to pump it up, and less than 1 minutes to deflate it and fold it up. Only downside was that I had to...

I agree. Two wrongs don't make a right. Journalists and publishers have a right to their personal privacy, same as anyone else. I also think that, if the state requires a licensing permit, that while the case can very easily be made that such information falls under the category of public...

Irresponsible journalism at its finest. Best comment by a reader of the newspaper: "I'd rather have a gun owner as my neighbor then a journalist, one is far more responsible then the other."

Newp. 2005 Sprinter 2500 HSC, with 8550 GVW. I don't think I could have all the same goodies in a newer model year Sprinter, though. I probably would, just lighter, like the shelving and a few other things. I had an HP Photosmart for several years and replaced it with a Canon PIXMA MX410 which...

It's an excellent expedited vehicle. I've got just about 400 pounds in the batteries and the cabling hardware, 100 pounds for the fridge/microwave, probably 10 pounds for the printer/scanner/copier, the TV weighs about 5 pounds, the satellite receiver box weighs about the same, the sat receiver...

That's true. At some carriers, like FedEx and Panther, the discounts are mind boggling, some are just giggity giggly. However, when fueling with a Comdata card there is generally a per-transaction fee, most often $1, but sometimes more or less, depending on the carrier. At one dollar a pop, gor...

Neither a theory or a hypothesis is random. But just because it's not random, it doesn't mean there was any knowledge behind the thought. You can also have a lot of knowledge about something, all of it being dead wrong. The Earth-centered universe is a good example. By definition, a hypothesis...

So, clearly, your answer is "no", then. OK. :) Far too many people do not understand what a theory is. They scoff at many theories, especially if those theories don't align with their preciously held beliefs. Like, some people have a problem reconciling evolution with long held and taught...
