  1. That's not Compton's Zip Code
  2. alright seriously... there's tradition... and then there's just farcical nonsense. A line has been crossed.
  3. don't forget to mention your adherence to six sigma practices in there...
  4. I left a job at a computer store because the high-pressure extended warrenty crap. I wonder how many people enjoy that kind of thing. For some reason that's a great feeling, especially if they keep tripping over "when you start..." and "if we agree on a job offer..."
  5. slump down to the ground like you passed out and kinda rolled out of your chair and go to sleep... ...when someone wakes you up act like you have no idea how long you've been out or what happened.
  6. 32.54438% - Total Geek My main areas normalitude were not being a trek fan and not doing the whole fantasy/RP thing other than that, I have an unholy amount of legos, I've maxed out the memory on my TI-85 with math/science programs I wrote getting them banned on tests at my high school, I watch cartoon network and the various discovery channels almost exclusively, and I own prolly half a dozen rubik's cubes, none of which have ever spent more than about 2 minutes scrambled.
  7. you... ...you sorted... ...the list.
  8. you can have some of the air conditioning from my building. it's 70 with a breeze outside, and they still insist on running the air conditioner into the ground...
  9. well, hopefully that's the most awful thing I'll see all day... "Hey Phil, can I use your computer for a minute? I need to check my e-mail, it's kinda an emergency..." *smokers cough* "Yeah, help yourself" *smokers cough* "Actually I guess it could wait..."
  10. I take it you are not a postal employee?
  11. Can anyone do reserve a reserve repack at Elsinore during the day on Saturday or is that a ridiculous question? The movers are coming tomorrow with my stuff so I'll have my rig, but the reserve is out of date. If the answer is no, does anyone who isn't jumping but will be there anyway want to play "drink the beer"?
  12. I have severe OCD about neatness when it comes to getting work done. It's not that I care that much, that's just how I direct my procrastination. I'd show you my desk but you can't bring cameras in the building.
  13. I didn't see that one the first time through... but I think it's 2. the dot the starts in the lower left moves up once per frame, and the one that starts in the upper right moves down and to the left once per frame, the other two dots don't move... why do you think it's 4?
  14. he went 50% faster on the first part, and 50% slower on the second part, but you last statement is wrong. He takes D/10 hours to complete the second leg of the race, she takes D/10 hours to complete the entire race if we can't change his speed on the second half of the race, he would have had to complete the first half of the race instantly to have tied her. /edited to add: the "fast" way of getting through this problem is to go backwards, suppose he goes 10mph from X to Y, and she goes 20mph there and back, when he gets to Y, she's already finished, boom... done... over with.
  15. rehmwa is right, the only solution where they tie is the degenerate (D=0)
  16. so far so good except for the one about the race, if you said they tied you probably suck at algebra

    EARTHQUAKE. . .

    I heard about it on the news as a real brief story yesterday evening. I was kinda disappointed we didn't feel anything in LA, I've only been here a couple weeks and earthquakes have me curious. (I say that, and then picture myself diving under my desk if someone slams a door in the next office)
  18. Did they buy the Skyvan they dropped it out of?
  19. getting a new license is a one time fee, and the licenses remain valid as long as you're a USPA member, which means you still have to pay the 50 bucks a year regardless of where along the line you got a new license. So, skipping a license saves you all of what? 20 bucks? ...wait, that's a jump... ...yeah, screw the B license, I'd rather have an extra jump.
  20. "LOOKOUT! HERE COMES AN 'S'!!!" Sing along in your best Strongbad voice... Oh... if you want possessive, it's just I-T-S! but-if-it's-supposed-to-be-a-contraction, it's I-T-apostrophe-S!
  21. We used to treat the apple stem twisting thing as another "she loves me, she loves me not" test, however it was not very analytical.
  22. cake you say? hmm... very tempting...
  23. Some people cut themselves... ...I eat buttered spaghetti with a spoon.
