Given the honest effort for eradication Of Dracunculiasis has been ongoing for years, it's more stuff like the conflict in Sudan that has kept it alive, despite parody.

I am way too close to flipping out and just destroying random objects. Though the first one won't be random, oh no. I have something special in mind for the phone.
Oh how I understand...  Lock it in the basement.  Turn off the lights.  Prepare the woodwinds and lick that reed to an invocation of Pan.  Then where will that phone lie? :lulz:

I don't know all the data paths yet, however, I thought starting with no data being written to the drive housing the OS would be good place to start?

What system do you use { its sounds rare to me {{ like os X

That, and more secondary like 10.4 and 10.5 - just for workflow and that I want to freeze and disconnect, like my trusty pentiums.  Then, I also think that having Linux box on flash for web browsing would be a system for future use.

QuoteThe Swiss army created a scenario in which France had split up into several regional entities, following a political and economic crisis.

One of these fictitious regions, known as Saonia, had decided to invade Switzerland to retrieve stolen money that was apparently held in Swiss banks.

The BBC's correspondent in Switzerland, Imogen Foulkes, says details of the exercise may surprise the French government.

"The fact that this story was dreamt up in the middle of a real tax row between France and Switzerland, over assets placed by wealthy French citizens in Swiss banks, is, the Swiss army insists, complete coincidence," she says.

Just coincidence.  Like this training exercise last year:

Quote"Last year's practice imagined the collapse of the euro, leading to social chaos across Europe and an influx of refugees to Switzerland."
That means that next time we can count it as hostile?

Well, all the Christmas publicity and merchandise already started, so that's one thing.

Also, February Madness is too far away, maybe we can make it a quatrimestral thing, like, February, June and October.  :?

After summer comes fall, and the reckoning before harvest?  We think we aspire to a greater stock because we already feel a (manufactured and marketed) loss. This urges us toward that unrequited more, for which, by design, we come up short and perpetually frustrated.  Pressing against the ireality being sold and violently publicized, we envy our inability to not be seduced and essentially cheapened by material fascination. Consequently, we act-out pantomimes of self reliance and control, incoherently begging recognition like fools of enviable glory.

That is why it is best to generally deal with the spiritual:  in the long run, it's cleaner (tm)
:boring:

The time investment involved in figuring out what you're trying to communicate is never matched by the value of your contributions. If you want to share ideas, IMO, you need to increase the contribution value or the decrease the effort involved in hearing what you want to say.

So, I take it you are of the quick and dirty persuasion?
If the content can be transmitted effectively quickly and dirtily, yeah.
However you still want me to wear a profilactic, even though it may also affect transmitability... :horrormirth:

There is such a thing as pregnancy depression, but it's not properly called "pre-partum" depression, and it would never be called "pre-partum" in a woman who had an abortion.

The reason might become clear when you look up the word "partum". [...]

[There is] some other reason the women were waiting until the last trimester to obtain an abortion.
Although development is still a gradual process, "and life does not begin at conception", I guess it still makes abortion appear more like infanticide because of the images formed in the mind. [and just to rub it in, someone outside just started operating a power drill  :horrormirth:]

For some reason, a lot of people sometimes see black shit moving in their peripheral vision when they're stuck in a place with crappy fluorescent tubes and no natural light. This is probably the reason that schools, mall stores and supermarkets are almost always rumored to be haunted.
:lulz: :lulz: :lulz:

Yea, sometimes I think it might have something to do with all institutions cutting costs by purchasing fluorescent fixtures with cheap ballasts...  Although it may just be a sign of a poor coupling coefficient, the erratic frequency operation can be manipulated by proper application of leakage inductance.  Anything too reactive would just be stroboscopic :lulz:
