I catch myself unconciously adjusting my level of swearing depending on the situation. Around customers, my grandmother, and people I've just met, never. Certain coworkers, people I know but not very well, and some family members, I'll swear a little (and mostly little stuff like "crap" and "damnit"). And then there's a group of people where I just let go and it seems like I drop an f-bomb every other sentence.

here's my red, white, and black Triathlon. I think it's pretty ugly, but whatever floats your boat. -
Does it bother you to have sex while your friends are in the room?
indyz replied to Girlfalldown's topic in The Bonfire
You might think that you've found an unused bedroom, that nobody will notice that you're missing, and that the lock on the door works, but then: killyourfriends.jpg. (borderline NSFW) -
I have a similar story that involves me being shot with a blowgun.

What's the biggest speeding ticket you've ever gotten?
indyz replied to unformed's topic in The Bonfire
75 in a 45 construction zone, Clark County, Indiana. The trooper was hiding under a bridge at the end of the construction zone and popped me 100 yards from the "End Construction" sign. Only cost me about $140. -
I used to hate potatoes in anything other than french fried or chip form. What the hell was I thinking?

WMAs are a pain. The only way I know is to burn them to an audio CD and then rip the audio CD back to MP3. But it's a lot of work and there is quality loss. I'd just switch to iTunes and use Hymn to crack the iTunes M4P files, then convert the resulting M4As to WAVs with WinAmp. Then you can convert the WAVs to anything.

In his autobiography, a New York City cop mentions how he once tried to slip a homeless informant $20. The panhandler was embarrassed and had to explain that he makes upwards of a dollar per minute during rush hour. The cop realized that this homeless guy probably had double his annual income, but he dumped it all on a $200/day crack habit.

This guy defines bizarre. The prof in the Contemporary Eastern Civ class I'm taking this semester is smart, funny, enthusiastic, always willing to take some time out to help a student, and.... he dresses like a pimp. Pinstripe polyester suit, gold chain, hankerchief, the whole bit. All he needs is a feather in his hat and a cane..

For $200 or less, you are pretty much stuck with a 256MB or smaller flash-based player. I've heard good things abour the 256MB iRiver but haven't had the chance to use it myself.

I know this thread is basically finished, but just for the sake of completeness... I'm home now and I've got my IRM with me. For videoing coached jumps, the IRM recommends 300 group freefall skydives, 50 with the camera. As I interpret it, this is for a third person videoing the coach+student, or a coach who wears a camera. A camera flyer jumping alone with a student is for all intents and purposes performing the duties of a coach and must have a rating.
-
Huh? The IRM says "A USPA Coach may... make gripped exits with students during group freefall skills jumps." Also, the SIM says "A USPA Coach may conduct freefall training and supervise jumps for those students in Categories E through H," and the Cat G Dive Plan #1 involves docking.
-
As far as the USPA is concerned a student is a student until they have their A license.

You mean like on the Optik Illusion? -
The SIM says I don't have my IRM with me, and the online version is incomplete.

If you still want to use an alias, and if you are using GNU cp, then this alias will work (I even tested my code this time ): alias mycopy="cp --target-directory=${HOME}/backup"
-
actually, that alias doesn't work. check your backup directory. I bet it's empty. I forgot that bash aliases don't take arguments. still stuck on csh-land, I guess. I'd just write the script. something like: #!/bin/bash cp $@ ~/backup should do it.
-
you want ~/backup (which expands automagically to /home/youusername/backup), not /backup (which is the directory backup in the root of the filesystem, which you don't have write access to)
-
That's another way to do it. alias mycopy="cp $* ~/backup"
-
She specified the directory. And I was trying to keep things simple and my assumptions about bash will be correct on 95% of modern unix machines.
-
Ok, try this: #!/bin/bash mkdir -p /home/rdefe/backup cp $* /home/rdefe/backup call the script mycopy and do a "chmod +x" on it.

In Illinois you are a hazard to other traffic if you are going less than 80-85 on the interstate. When I'm in Wisconsin I only go 10 over on the highway because Illinois plates are ticket magnets.
-
For a Unix guy, that's more like $40. I was gonna say $175/hr minimum two hours. Make sure you put the proper shebang at the top of the file ("#!/bin/sh" or whatever).

In America, yes. But in some places a billion is a million-million (twelve zeroes). More info.
