  1. I seem to recall reading in the SIM once upon a time that medical grade oxygen is not suitable for aviation use. That might explain why pax can't bring their own bottle. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  2. I see . . . What would you want put on my shell? I have no clue. What would you put on Mi-Chelle? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  3. I once had a similar problem on a much older vehicle, sans the "only on the last half of the tank" bit. It turned out to be a length of rubber fuel line had weakened, and was collapsing upon acceleration, restricting fuel flow to the carburetor. On newer vehicles, I'm not sure if or how fuel level can affect pressure in the fuel line, but id it can, and pressure reduces with fuel level, that might explain that. Not to say there aren't knowledgeable DZ.commers, but I have found Click and Clack's website (cartalk.com, I think) to be helpful in the past. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  7. I certainly don't disagree that parents need to actively parent. Unfortunately, parents sometimes do, with or without intent or good intentions, brainwash their kids. I see it most often with religion (insert religion here is the only true way to insert favorite name for unverifiable supernatural entity.) or drugs (Drugs are bad, m'kay? Here, have a insert favorite alcoholic beverage.). It's difficult to shelter kids from the real world while simultaneously preparing them for it. (ROK, I'm not trying to imply anything about your parenting skills in particular.) Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  8. Why brainwash kids at all? Why not teach them how to examine evidence and think for themselves so they can make their own knowledgeable decisions? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  9. That should be AAC (for Advanced Audio Coding), not ACC. Also, iTunes Plus tracks are 256 kbs files, not 192 kbs as I previously posted. Sorry for any confusion. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  10. While the nominee may not choose to negotiate to keep Nader from staying in, their option indeed remains. Personally, I consider it one of Nader's strengths that he doesn't put the party's interests before the people's. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  12. same reason as McCain -- 2008 is the last chance to make a stand before the bio clock runs out. Cheers, T I'm sure that's part of it, but I also suspect he is wanting to get a policy concession from the Democratic nominee in exchange for dropping out of the race and giving an endorsement.

  13. US, Florida, O-Town Well under 5%, since I've filled up (or equivalent to) less than twice in the past year. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  15. these terms are mutually exclusive... Oh, come on now. They're not completely exclusive. (
  16. Thanks for the tip about the update. Handbrake is great; I use it fairly often. I'm pretty sure it only converts from DVD like sources, though, and won't convert from .wmv, .avi, etc; as the OP requires. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    He got into office upon FDR's death. He lost his election to Dewey. Didn't you see the paper? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  18. If they are FairPlay DRMed files (i.e. 128 kbs ACC purchased from iTunes Music Store) the easiest way is to burn an audio disc with iTunes, and then reimport the files as .mp3. The same method works with iTunes Plus files (i.e. 192 kbs AAC), but a conversion app for your particular OS can save you some CD±R discs. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  21. Perhaps you should refrain from offering to bet on sports. I guess some people value their word and some don't. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  22. 1) everyone who consumes oil < everyone who lives in Earth's environment 2) That doesn't change the fact that there is absolutely no scientific basis for intelligent design. 3) Well, I agree that it was already spun, but it wasn't covered.

  23. If you're so confident in your knowledge and abilities, then man up and post your money. Deeds, not words. If you don't want to honor your offer, that's fine. Some people walk the walk, some don't. No biggie. I don't care either way. There's no need for petty insinuations. I'm genuinely shocked to find you're not more familiar with that word.

    Cops

    Would you mind clarifying this a bit? Do you mean that it was only you and one other jumper, and not four jumpers? Or did two land in the ocean and were rescued from there? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  25. I don't gamble for the sake of hubris. I gamble to make money, just like any other investor. I don't know anything about Silva or Henderson, and bet or no bet, I won't be inclined to watch the fight; violence simply does not interest me. What I do know is that bookies are right more often that they're wrong. They say arguing over sports is unbecoming of a gentleman, and one should either be willing to back their claims up with cash or shut up. I'm quite willing to post my money, how about you?
