    Irony Of Life ...

    The problem with the Bible is that the Lord hasn't really said much about 401K plans, setting insurance coverage levels of various kinds, running synthetic vs regular fluids in the transmission of your cars, whether to go into hi-tech stocks, medical or pharmaceuticals, or maybe just stick to good old blue chip deals. Also, as far as variable-rate interest loans and how to manage mortgages and other debt, I usually end up feeling "unsatisfied" with the Lord's advice on how to proceed. At the same time, I have a pretty good job now thankfully but I don't know when and how they'll kick me out (if) and what I would do if they did which they might. There are many things I would be very good at which makes things even more complicated. Would I stay here in the Midwest where it's like a very relaxed, clean, well maintained palace all over the place with very polite people but kind of boring as a whole (basically how I would envision Heaven to be like) or would I be more happy in a hot, action packed, dense hole like LA with the massive population and astronomical costs of life (kind of how I would envision Hell to be like but without the constant torment of course). Then there is the whole thing about what kind of balance should I strike between work and play ... either extreme doesn't interest me as much but I'm not sure where a good balance lies. Sometimes work actually feels like play and sometimes play starts to drag and vice versa. Basically, I think all these new opportunities and complexities we have added to our lives has created a sort of "choice" overload. It is almost impossible to enjoy any single decision because you end up being overwhelmed with all the alternatives and all the remaining possibilities.

    Irony Of Life ...

    When you don't have, you spend all your time worrying about how to have. You have stress levels beyond belief at times to make ends meet ... what will happen tomorrow ... how will I survive ... etc. When you do have, then you spend all your time worrying about how to protect and keep what you have. You have even MORE stress now worrying not only about what you have and how to continue to have it, but also how not to lose what you do have. It's like you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't ... sometimes I just wish I was just a beach bum with nothing to lose.
  3. I don' t know about the drive train but I wouldn't be surprised if that thing totally outperformed a lot of these big heavy "4x4" vehicles marketted to the US public. That's awesome Not sure about those wheels though ... looks like some black powdercoat or some duplicolor (black) would do wonders on those bling blings.

    Peace

    Oh yah ... forgot to say I laughed out loud at that too

    Peace

    Peace is when you've changed your tranny and t-case fluids with synthetic, checked the diff fluids, installed new properly gapped spark plugs, re-filled the oil in your on-board air compressor, fixed the broken shift lever boot, installed the new 4" round LED tail lights, mounted the 55W halogen backup lights, and finished the wiring on the shock adjustment module in the cab in your jeep. I hope I'll be there in less than a month... or else, peace might have to wait till it starts getting warm again.

    New Jokes Anyone?

    hehehee ... those aren't bad odds though! This one isn't really a joke as far as I can tell: "Camel Toads".
  7. me too... I'll pretend I didn't see either of those posts.
  8. Hmmmm... it's alright .. I didn't like it that much when I first heard it. There are a few good songs on the Mesmerize CD but the SOAD songs are slowly all starting to sound very similar. Don't get me wrong though ... they are still one of the better groups out there.
  9. The reason I asked "for what" is because it could be anything from a simple date check, to registry, in a file, ... all the way to modifying the executables during install or even internet check. Many trial software encode the expiration into their license files also. So it depends.

    Words Of Wisdom

    Were you wondering if it was you?
  11. Oh noooooooo ... 1 or 2 mil is not good enough for these bastards. They need to have 43 million. I hope he gets raped on a daily basis in prison.
  12. This is a very natural partnership ... both google and sun have a common goal ... to try to compete with Microsoft. So what better way than to help each other. I just hope google doesn't fall into the java trap too much.

    Van Nuys Case

    oh nooooo ... one or two million is not enough for these bastards to take the money and run ... they have to get $20 million and still not be satisfied. I hope they rape him daily in jail.

    And the cool thing is that now a good hacker could do the same on your PC
  16. I wonder what the Moses one said originally before it was changed to "crap"
  17. Damn those towel-head Kangaroo lovers down there in I-ran. We should make a glass crater out of them

    Impressions Of The Day

    It was the first thing I saw in the pic ... much less than a second I would say. Within the first 3 seconds, I had identified 3 identical beans in the pic as well.
  19. Emails that seem like they were never sent (no trace of them anywhere on my machine) ... Posts that never show up ... Files that disappear and then appear ... I swear I'm about to throw ALL my machines out the window and go buy some crayons and a paper pad.

    Broken Usb Flash Drive

    Cool! I wasn't sure if JB weld was conductive or not but I guess we know Let it dry at least 24 hours before you put any stress on it. It sets pretty quickly but usually it takes some time for it to really harden.
  21. A judge is not supposed to be neutral. A judge is supposed to be on the side that is "right"
  22. You too extra ... back of the line.
