Some people say that it bleeds for a short time and then that's it. Are they correct or trying to act like hardmen over the internet?

Never happened to me, but from what I've heard they're acting like hardmen. It's supposed to be extremely painful.

When looking for sublet housing in the US, it always says (eg) $600 3br etc. in the listing. I'm presuming this is a monthly price, am I right?

If it's listed like that, then yes that would be the monthly rent. But don't forget to inquire about other costs. Such as utilities.




How long does it take for a jet engine to go from cold start to ready for full power?

Great thanks for the info.

Yeah utilities are always the difficult part of renting, I was screwed on an electricity bill in the past so I'm extra wary now about utilities.

Audiobooks and Ipods (& similar devices): does anyone know what might be a good storage capacity for someone wanting to listen to an entire book (say a nonfiction book, 350 pages) using Ipods (& other similar tools)

That's why it tells you to look left -- these are exceptions, e.g. one way streets, or on traffic islands (where you stand on a bit of pavement in the middle of the road whilst waiting for traffic to stop/clear).

I don't get it, the traffic is coming from the right but it tells me to look left? Are they actively trying to get me hit by a car the moment I step on the pavement?

 

[salty mud]

He said there are exceptions, one way roads can have traffic coming from your left and traffic islands will make you look left as you are only half way across the road.

I have a couple books divided into mp3s, and they can take over 5gb apiece easily. It all depends on if you plan of keeping all your books on one iPod at once, which I wouldn't recommend.

how long does it take for the copy right on a game to expire and for that game to become freeware?

There's not a guarantee of that happening since copyrights keep being given extensions (so called Mickey Mouse extensions for Disney's behalf). 70 years minimimum, I believe.

I believe it's possible to challenge copyright if you can prove no entity inheirited a property. But basically there's just a shady term 'abandonware' that people use to really mean----'looks like not lawyers care about this property, so I'll take my chances'. Abandonware has no real legal protection though, it's still technically an act of software piracy. It gets even more complicated if there are 3rd party licenses involved---e.g. a Batman movie video game.

So what's in style for this summer? Are those khaki shorts still alright to wear or will people laugh at me? I've got $125 in gift cards for American Eagle, I guess I could go buy some new stuff, I only have 2 pairs of shorts now anyway.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Anybody here ever have a teacher with a strange name? If so, please share.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

My Dad had a teacher named Mrs. French. Guess her subject.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

It's for a story character. I want something like Mrs. Frankenberry but more believable.

I wear khaki's with all the pockets, even cell-phone pockets. Cargo or dress. I've never felt that people were laughing at me like I was the water boy.

Mrs. Mann.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Mrs. Mann.

That's good. Except there's a girl in my class named Jackie Mann. No am I not messing with you.

I'm hoping German.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Unfortunately, no. French.
