That's a relief - but it does assume I'm the female in the photo.

Here's the full pool of 100 questions actually used on a current citizenship test, and here you'll find the 104 questions they intend to use starting in 2008. It might be splitting hairs to mention this, but shouldn't question 17 ask as to who would become acting President following the death of th...

The Beekeeper's Apprentice - Laurie R. King) The expanded universe of Sherlock Holmes. :anxious: Tell me how you like it when you're done! O:) So far so good - if you can effectively suspend your disbelief in order to buy into the storyline that Sherlock Holmes would spend time tutoring a teenager....

Ah, here we go....


Cheesy college freshman formals! *

There's no competing with that.

I can hardly tie my shoes without the aid of my long-since departed coordination.

I would be interested to know what the rest of the "quite a few problems" are, saying that the mainframe versions of Linux are not free in not completely correct, sure there are some versions of Linux out there that are not free, there are also a lot that are. I won't bore you by citing t...

Pc has the final release, it has been on sale since January 30

Ah, ok.

I supose some part of me just assumed that it would be in Beta indefinitely.

(is anyone else here a fan of the Gutenberg Project?) I LOVE that website!! :D I've posted about it here and gotten little or no response. :mecry: I'm so glad you know about it! Its a wonderful site, and the sheet music archives are expanding rapidly. It seems almost common sense that there should ...

I'm assuming that's a beta release? I have an old disk with Longhorn Build 5203. That was ages ago! My biggest issue with the visual aspect of Vista are the window transparencies. They look alright with one or two windows open, but when you start piling them up it becomes visually cluttered. The la...

The two TV programs I've seen featured Rathbone and Bruce so I look forward to seeing Brett and Hardwicke in action. :) One thing that bothers me about non-canonical stories is the extreme obsession (imho) with both Moriarty and Adler/Norton. He appears/is mentioned in 3-4 stories, I think, and she...

Persuasion - Jane Austin
Dumb Witness - Agatha Christie
The Beekeeper's Apprentice - Laurie R. King
Mrs. Polifax, Innocent Tourist - Dorothy Gilman

Yes, a lot of useless "junk" reading to take my mind off of casebooks.

Edit: On second thought, I also need to put in a plug for Smart (of the Smartcar) which I firmly believe we'll all be driving in 30 years, whether we like it or not. :lol: I voted other. :- I might have to amend that previous statement after having discovered: Prototype: Pininfarina’s Nido Ultra Co...

well I do a lot of "weird thing" on my pc ;) :hilarious: I dont know why I find that so funny but it is. Yeah Linux Rocks though, Because What you are using, the open source programs, the OS in itself is made because People want to. They want you to have a great OS, and they want to outdu...

Any other random information you wish to know? ;) Why is the sky blue? :-k Because it's most certainly not green! NB: As per the above post, I forgot to add: If you've ever seen "My Fair Lady" (the Rex Harrison/Audrey Hepburn version) the part of Freddy Einsford-Hill is played by Holmes (...

I've seen only a couple TV shows so I couldn't really offer an opinion on how faithful or original they are. I am interested in seeing/hearing more someday so I would like to hear your recommendations of what best represents the spirit of the original Sherlock Holmes. Or tell me if anything does. I...

I definitely think we should have a Prof. Moriarty on here. \:D/ By coincidence I just watched The Final Problem, starring Jeremy Brett, David Burke (playing the awesomely sidekickish Dr. Watson *cough*) and Eric Porter! Hey Sherlock, you died at the end of it. \:D/ So what are doing here, alive? :...

You mean not everyone has read the TH archives like I have? :-s Should be mandatory for admission here. :noway: ;) *Chuckles* I'm just amused by the fact that I've given it away about 3 times by now, so at least there's an alternate pseudonym to go by. ;) Invisible Woman: I have no preferences - by...
