When I was a Pioneering house painter (oh how we used to envy the window washers--the cream of the crop of the self-employed dubs) my health insurance plan was: Don't fall off a ladder!

Military Spending; Corruption or Incompetance?
by Abaddon inenron was small beer; worry about the pentagon!.
http://www.cbsnews.com/now/story/0,1597,325985-412,00.shtml?.

Abaddon,
Yup, but of course, to point this out is American bashing I guess!
Poor ickle Americans!What? Two hours goes by and nobody disagrees with you, so you decide to lob the first volley? Are you trying to pick a fight? Whatever happened to your statement that you only respond in kind? You've always struck me as one of the more level-headed posters here, but you seem to lose that and become rather emotionally invested with this subject for some reason.
Norm's thread finally settled down after a rocky start (with knee-jerk reactions and generalizations on both sides, IMO). Are you bored with that outcome, or just not satisfied with it?

I used to play Ultima Online, and before that, a text-based game called Darkness Falls (where you were a wherewolf, vampire, skeleton, etc... who preyed on villagers)
I took a few years off from gaming, but lately I've been playing Starcraft online again. I'm waiting for Star Wars: Galaxies to come out. If the beta is fun, I'll probably give that a try.

Hmmm
The obvious:
What is an NGO?What is the DPI?
How long was the WT associated with the UN?
Who signed the application?
Did the WT 'join' the UN? (or, alternately)
What do you mean when you say the WT 'joined' the UN?
[head off the semantical argument that the WT couldn't have "joined" the UN]
How often did the WT have to renew their membership/affiliation/application?What year did the UN require NGOs to "uphold the charter [yadda yadda yadda] of the UN?"

Duh, I'm an idiot. You are correct, Moxy. I think I had my head stuck in base 16 mode for those numbers. I had a headache... that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

I just saw the earlier puzzle a few days ago, and it's been bugging me. But the answer doesn't make sense--to me, anyway.
The series was:
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 20 22 24 31 200 10011 100000000And the solution was: "All of the numbers in the sequence were base representations of the same number. The last number in the sequence was a representation of the number in binary. The next to the last number was in base 3, second-next-to-last number was in base 4, and so forth."
10[16]=16
11[15]=16
12[14]=16
13[13]=16
14[12]=16
15[11]=16
16[10]=16
17[9]=16
20[8]=16
22[7]=16
24[6]=16
31[5]=16
200[4]=16 (though, wouldn't 40 be the MORE correct answer?)
10011[3]=85 (shouldn't 16 be 51?)
100000000[2]=256 (shouldn't 16 be 10000?)Where did I go wrong?

My understanding is that it's part of the sport. It's been described as "roller derby on ice". I guess huge tumbles of skaters is pretty common.

witchcraft and the movies
by jiutman injust wondered if anyone can give me a suggestion.
i have a very good friend who is a jw.
we were having a discussion the other day and i told him i recently sa the movies harry potter and the lord of the ring.

I think it's a very common human failing, the inability to see our own faults while exposing the foibles of others. JWs just stand out more to us because we're more accutely aware of that culture.
That, and they have so many silly rules that they trip themselves up more easily.
