One might also think to include terms relating to automobiles such as Bonnet, etc. I'd do so but I've forgotten the lot of them Some things I picked up from an ER episode set in London: (no guarantees to acuracy) Trauma vs. Emergency Room "Male" or "Female" are not used as nouns but rather adjuctives only Proper description of the patient is "Man" or "Woman" If I remember some of the others I'll post up

Agreed that you should concider also trying the features of Spybot. At the computer shop where I work we have something we unoffically call the "Spyware Special." We run TrendMicro's HouseCall online virus-scan, Ad-aware, Spybot - Search and Destroy, and then Windows Update; in that order. The one thing that Ad-aware has over Spybot is that it has snagged a few browser bars and hijacks that Spybot missed. BUT, Spybot will snag a few browser hijacks

Coupons would be where it's at too. :-) I suppose I should have elaborated a bit more. I indeed was aiming at your new or otherwise clueless dad, who's always been able to pass the duty off onto another sole - at least until that one fateful day.... :-) --Syrrus

As much as I desire to agree with you in reguards to swimsuit models being hot sellers, I have the small inkling that another diaper design would out do it - at least amoung males. The diaper would be a bit something like this: INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Lay baby on table 2. Peel tape back on soild diaper [...] PRECAUTIONS: 1. Take deep breath *before* removing diaper 2. Take care to avoid a direct line of fire [..

not all Americans spell grey as "gray." In fact, I'm having trouble remembering the last time I saw it that way. I had a friend who's nick was Graytail but she mispelled it on purpose. I tryely believe the only times I've seen the spelling "gray" is when it's miselled by someone who (in typical American fasion) doesnt know or doesn't care that it's wrong. Kinda like our mispellings of "Nite" verses "Night" a suppose. We won't touch "-er" verses "-

Best of luck to you on your quest to regain you fitness. Trying to recover from serious accidents as you are can be very tough, so I find anyone that has the perseverence to move on and in escense "reclaim" their body, very commendable. --Syrrus

Nice one, Jill. You pretty much summed up what it took me four months to learn. :-) Blogging should be fun, and your way to speak your mind to the world. When I was just going to points rack-up I would try to type like a newsweek editor and avoid personal posts or anything I viewed would be "disinteresting." But I woke up, and realized it wasn't a terrible burdon on my life if wasn't in the top 25. And as far as commenting goes - agreed a

I think we've all been there a time or two. When I had first moved it had only been to an apartment about 15 minutes away. It was amazingly liberating. I was the master of my own destiny. If the dishes were not done...well that's my fault. The living room was mine. The kitchen was mine - all was mine. And I could come and go as I pleased. If at 4 in the morning I decided I wanted to take a three hour drive upstate (and we actually did - my room

I've personally been playing with Avant for about a year now. Long enough to have seen through two logo changes at least. :-) I've played with MyIE2 and for some reason just did not like it as much. The design of Avant's GUI just feels more natural to me and it did not take me long to discover where everything was. At least to me it feels more natural to actual IE. The only real problems I've noticed with it is when using things that don't expect

I'm one who has to ride both sides of the fence here....both as someone who as a customer and as someone who works in the service industry. As a customer, I fully agree with meglet here - some people in the service industry simply don't care about the customers they are paid to serve. And I'm sorry ChinaCat, but I must disagree - when you work in the service industry that IS what your paid for: dealing with customers. Be they a joy or a drea

Interesting to see that I am not the only one with Linux frustrations. Perhaps these are things that will be addressed in future versions. I've actually taken a brake from mine for the past couple days (that's what blogging will do for you I guess) but next day off I have from the store I'll probably tinker with it again. --Syrrus

No, the point that he's trying to convey is percentage of funds. The concept here being if everyone in the US say spared one Pizza in their lives each year and instead donated the US$10 or so that they would have spend to somekind of a word-wide education fund, then the world could afford to educate all of our children. It's not a comment on our lifestyle so much as it's trying to put things into a perspective that our minds can handle. If this were an attack on our society then he's also att

[Editors Note: This is recent reediting of an article I wrote when I originally joined JoeUser. The wannabe "Newsweek" tone has been removed and replaced with actual personality.] Does anyone remember one of the old Dell commercials? It features groups of computer-illiterate individuals that are attending a Computer Purchasing Boot Camp in order to

Good luck getting everything back going y'all. As a system technician who heads up the repair dept. of our store I can attest to the fact that Fijitsu drives are trouble. I have a small stack of failed drives that we've replaced over time at the store as well as one of my own. Just know you have the support of the community behind you and don't forget to grab some turkey on Thursday. --Syrrus.
