Which BCC would that be?

I've heard about the Philadelphia experiment, (in fact there are a couple of movies based on it), but there's no evidence that it ever took place. There's no reason to even believe that what some ...

Wasn't there a thread about that recently?

I think this poll would be better if we could vote "yes" and "college is 4 losers!!!".

See, I don't really want a fast car, since if I have a fast car I'll find myself bombing down the freeway at 90mph way too often.

I have no idea why you'd be running out of virtual memory then. Those applications shouldn't come anywhere near to using up the 1024MB of total memory that you have on your computer.

It shouldn't cost much at all. Almost definitely less than $100, and possibly much less depending on how your memory is configured right now.

Really? That should be enough for most purposes. My computers rarely even get up to 400MB of total memory used. Are you running a lot of memory-intensive applications at once?

That's an ok amount of memory. What's your virtual memory set to? (To find out go through the same steps I mentioned in my first post only don't change the settings on the final page.)

Your computer definitely slows down when it has to access virtual memory, but Windows is such a memory hog that it really needs a lot of virtual memory. How much physical memory do you have and wh...

Virtual memory is a file on your hard disk that the computer uses as if it were RAM. Your computer is doing this because it is running out of space in that file. If you're running XP you can incr...

Interesting. I don't think most of the sisters in my old congregation even asked if I would want to do it when I was the only brother out. That's one of the reasons why I asked the PO about it, a...

Dec 5, 2003

Is that still true even if the brother is fairly young? (Say under 19, for example.)

Dec 5, 2003

It's funny that you mentioned meetings for field service because the PO in my old congregation told me that just because a brother is baptized and under no restrictions does not mean that he should...

The next car I get I want to be a hybrid. The Insight gets like 70 miles to the gallon in the city.

Wait a minute. Do girls actually *like* the fact that guys are supposed to be the head? I always used to get the impression that sisters, at best, tolerated the fact that brothers were in charge ...

Oh, I knew what you meant. I was just being perverse. I just wanted to point out that the theory of relativity is a lot crazier than even you made it sound.

See, I think I'd prefer that answer. At least then you know where you stand and you don't have to wonder about whether it was an excuse or not.

The story I've heard, which may just be a legend, is that he was deathly afraid of scissors and the only way he would cut his hair was to burn the ends.

Maybe he didn't do it consciously, but that doesn't mean it's not there, and it doesn't mean the books were not greatly affected by his experiences with war.

That would put you at a BMI of 21.9 which is right near the middle of the normal range. BTW, I don't agree with this normal range stuff at all. I think most people look much better if they are cl...

There is a major undercurrent in the books that is essentially Tolkein's lament over what happened to Europe, and the English countryside in particular during the two world wars of the last century...

Not yet. My dad got me the gift set, but I haven't had a chance to pop it in the DVD player yet. I'll definitely be watching it on the 15th, though.

Can I just reiterate that I think it would be a really bad idea to try to see the movie and then take a final 4 hours later? I definitely would not be going if I had anything important to do on th...
