Number of pitches thrown at Alex Rodriquez?

So there is gold in people at a concentration of 0.00001% by mass. That is WAY greater than the average concentration in the Earth's crust. At what point does it become economically worth it to mine graveyards?

A-Rod makes it real easy to hate the Yankees. I prefer National League ball anyway. Go Reds.

I guess I'm spoiled at SUNYIT. It's a fairly small institution, and the same instructors teach the same classes every time. The names are posted along with the schedule. And you can find out what text you'll need (if any) several weeks in advance. You really don't need to go to the bookstore for much else but…

Just learn to say no, loudly and often.

It was also the daddy of the Chevette. The only U.S. made subcompact of the 70s that was worth a damn (get the 4-speed, not the automatic, and avoid the diesel engine), and it was designed by Opel in Germany. Tough little car; you could really beat the hell out of it.

Jazz are good when you can't find Honeycrisp.

I almost came.

Clinton Cider Mill, Clinton, New York. Come during the week and avoid the weekend tourist crowds.

Honeycrisp apples are better than sex. Hell, they're almost as good as good sex.

I had mine play Blitzkreig Bop before the old lady made me quit it.

Ex-Cubs. Gotta love 'em.

Stock '06-'11 Honda Civic LX sedan. It has been determined by the court of nerd opinion at my place of employment, where we happily churn out computer software, to be the nearly perfect car. Just roomy enough, just enough power, just enough style not to be confused with a current-gen Toyota Corolla. And not…

Actually, it was in a documentary about Turing's work. There was a specific format to which all correspondence was to conform, which made deriving the key so much easier.

It didn't help that every correspondence began with "Heil Hitler." 10 characters of known plaintext would give one a nice head start, no?

I did a similar thing when I finished paying off my credit cards. I paid off my car about three years early. Now the money is going in my 401K.

I wonder what would happen if I were to drill a 1/2 inch hole right above where the soap goes in the flimsy little drawer on my machine. My guess is, there isn't anything in that particular spot other than enameled metal. Drill holes corresponding to the soap, bleach, and fabric softener, install grommets and…

Something that green should have the steering wheel on the other side.

I once made a joke that a sure-fire way to kill your husband in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses and get away with it is to feed him whatever he wants. I even suggested publishing a cookbook with that title.

Please elaborate. Do you write code, or do you man the help desk?
