So, who should we contact to request that a forum like this be started? I'm sure someone who is an admin or has mod Powerz has seen this by now. Also: Oh yeah, and hopefully J** K**** (probably unmedicated bi-polar sociopath who works at a fireworks store where I work, yeah, great place to find a person like this.) Anyways, hopefully he won't kill or incapacitate me tomorrow, since yesterday he clearly threatened to kill me in front of a few other workers, twice. But if I suddenly drop off the radar within the next two weeks, that's probably what happened. Either way, I prepared a shank-resistant vest (5+ layers duct tape- very hard to slice open) and there are security gaurds there, so I'm crossing my fingers and trying to be positive. Oh yeah, and they know he's kinda wierd, so if I get hurt, my family's gonna sue the company for at least $10+ million wrongful injury/death. (Most of the money collected would go to a nonprofit organization that does disaster relief.) Of course, if he just hurts me or (temporarily) incapacitates me, we'll just politely ask that the medical bills be covered.

-Hawiian Bananna Bread-? Wow, that sounds pretty neat! Sounds like it would give it a very interesting, tangy taste. I wonder now what would happen if you added a little strawberry puree' to the mix? One of the most interesting off-topic forums I've been to was the Planet DeusEx off-topic forum. There was an incredible mix of people there from the US and Canada, Portugal, England, Denmark, Jerusalem, and Australia. Some of the people there were extremely intelligent and excellent conversationalists as well. And yeah, along with the intellectual conversations, the crazy stuff is great as well. (I actually opened a virtual restraunt, "Sol's Bar and Grille" as a kind of hangout on the thread, still being patronized today.)

Well, I must tell ya, however, that if I had to choose between the towel and the HK-PSG1, I'd have to take the PSG1. A towel just can't drop a terrorist or enemy combatant at 1,000+ yards like a PSG1 can. The .308 precision-made ammuniton and 3.5lb trigger pull beat... ... ...well-woven fibers anyday. But, if I had to choose between the PSG1 and the hair dryer, I'd have to choose the hair dryer. You can't get your hair looking nice with a PSG1. (Quite the opposite, actually.) And, of course, the heavy water... but at least where I am, I'm not going to run into a heavy-water compatible reactor (like the Canadian CANDU) where it could be used, unfortunately. (God, one positive-coefficient and they make it unbuildable in the US, man the USNRC is paranoid...)

Oy, some people... I hope that in the future ISPs will also take a lot more responsibility to prevent DOS attacks and punish people who start DOS attacks instead of laying responsibility on the people who'se sites are attacked. Odd, why the heck would they attack Groundspeak, if not to just (explitive) with people...

Ever consider checking out the abandoned housing project at Demon's Alley? Very odd place, it just looks like the whole place was abandoned very quickly- there is still furniture, toys, and other stuff left behind. Very strange. (I think the area is private property and patroled, unfortunately.)

---UPDATE--- This might not be good. I was informed by a member here that despite the support thus far, some bandwidth limitations (???) may make creating a little off-topic thread not possible.

I noticed that too on the high-brightness setting on my Garmin GPS-3 unit. It's not very loud, barely noticeable unless you stick your ear up to the unit, then you can hear it clearly.

A lot of bandwidth? Really? Huh... I thought that message boards, when you discount the image files that are transmitted, would really not take up a ton of bandwidth... of course, to me a lot of bandwidth is downloading Mandrake Linux (almost 2 gigabytes of data.)

No gaskets? Oh fudge... well, I guess I can just cross my fingers and use a plastic baggie to contain anything not water-resistant. Will they keep out moisture even if there isn't a gasket? Well, I ordered five of them and a "INNOCENT BYSTANDER" T-shirt.

(ADDED) For example, there were three caches listed at Presque Isle (beautiful area between NY and Ohio) in Erie. I had a great day looking for them- I found 2/3 caches, and I dropped off my "delta" cache.
