  1. 10 items? That might be a bit too little though - you don't have to eat less - just healthier and more often. Starving yourself is not good for you either...
  2. GODDAMN!!! RAWRRRRRRRR!
  3. Reply: Not to hijack this thread but ... Meaning: Time to derail this puppy into the nearest canyon...
  4. Are you looping through charts, series or each individual bar?
  5. If you know a bit of VBA then this will help: References: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213725(office.11).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa174298(office.11).aspx Hope that helps.
  6. Nice! He actually parked the thing! I bet drivers in the opposite lane had a WTF moment.
  7. Wow, way to necro a thread, dude. Here is whatcha need...
  8. Government spends good amount of $$$ to get "work force" trained and ready. Now, if they determine that there are some of your "legal free time activities" have a good chance of putting their investment on limited duty/nondeployable/dead- hell yes they will have a say on what you can and can't do in your free time. Not to turn this into a pissing match - but by being in military you do lose some of your rights - some legal activities have to be cleared before hand (Example: Servicewomen getting in trouble for posing for Playboy) and some legal places are off-limits (TJ, high gang/crime areas). It is an extreme and usually they leave you alone to do whatever you want in your free time but that does not mean that when shit hits the fan you will be in the clear. So, basically - yes they can control what you do / where you go in your free time.
  9. My command had a devil who broke both legs on bad landing - so they were a bit biased to say the least... Education (statistics, proper training, proper gear, etc) didn't work since there was already a precedent...
  10. Actually they can and they do. Last time I checked - my ass belonged to the government. Anything happens to it (even sunburn) and I could be charged with damaging government property. Could vary from service to service but while active in USMC I was not allowed to skydive (command would not authorize such high-risk activity). Something about having a critical skillset... I could still do it but if I got hurt I'd lose rank and would have to pay the med bills. Had to wait till I got out. So yeah - make sure you inform your command and have that waiver signed.

  12. Most people that vote have both - so results should not be too biased.
  13. BOTH! But if you had to choose - let's just say that you have a lot less control over your life when you ride motorcycle on public roads.
  14. Thanks, I split main fuel line and added an electric fuel pump to inject fuel directly into the pipes. Then add coils + wirings + sparkplugs = homebuilt flamethrower... Great tailgate control tbh...
  15. Just finished breaking in spanking-new r6 (my second r6, first one was my learner bike - loved it... trashed it...). Planning on lat moving her from street to track towards the end of the summer and getting heavy into it next season. I try to split $$$ equally across all my toys and obsessions but as you said - it is hard work. Plus - skydiving does seem to give you more bang per $.
  16. That ^^^. If you are only running pass-through queries (SQL string passed to server, executed by server and results sent back) - then it should not really matter what tool you use - execution time will be the same since it only depends on server horsepower. Now, if you are "linking" tables in Access and THEN doing some funky SQL with them - then your performance will probably suffer since Access will try to perform some of the execution locally. Also, at this point you will be limited in querying capabilities. One of my projects involved using Access purely as a front end interface and only using pass-through queries. It worked well, but it was buggy and high-maintenance. Just 2 kopeks from a fellow dangerous BA.
  17. Short answer - if you want stress free life - stay away from Access and drop some dough on enterprise level DB engine. Long answer - Access has its own castrated version of SQL (Not even close to T-SQL) to query its own Jet DB Engine. It does not scale well (or does not scale at all), has limited querying capabilities and is buggy as hell. Access is not meant to be used for anything else than quick-and-dirty small scale project (often temporary solution) or purely as a front end with SQL Server/Oracle/Whatever back-end. Again, if you want stress free life - avoid access at all costs. Speaking from experience.
  18. I got me one of these for my birthday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uBQGXxCh9c 1GB of RAM, 1Ghz CPU, full WinXP install (can handle Vista if needed) only $400. Hook up 3g modem and you got internet anywhere.
  19. Dunno about that to be honest. After watching tonight's episode, I am still just as lost as I was at the end of season 3... Deep down inside I just hope that all this nonsense in season 4 will lead to an epic finale next week.
  20. 4yr community service wearing funny clothes and waking up zero-damn-stupid in the morning. Those who know will understand.
  21. I have no life - Lotsa TF2 and some COD/UT/BF on the side. Tried WoW once, quit at 2% into the download. My roommates used to lose sleep over it - meh, I am just not that into RPG.
  22. What he said ^^^^ Depends on what you need PC for - really. I am upgrading from X2 4200+ to Phenom II 940. For image processing that I do - X2 is just not cutting it anymore. But for everything else, including games it performed just fine. If you want a quad - I say wait a bit - AMD is about to release AM3 socket CPU's and AM2+'s should drop in price in a couple of months.
  23. 999... pshhhhh, get a busa for first bike, dude I know someone who did just that, did not work out too well...
  24. I liked it - pace finally starting to pick up. shit blowing up and crew shooting each other = awesome. judging from previews - next week should be just as interesting - with adama blindfolded in the airlock and taking into account writers' sadistic style - he just might fly...
  25. Only difference is that broker gambles with someone else's money. Educated investment is still an investment, no matter who does it or which tools are used. My .02 kopeks...
