11/10 I'm looking for good, comfortable, insulated, waterproof hiking-style boots, though they will just be walking-around boots until surgery. Arch support is a must. Not having any luck, but I haven't lived in snow for a long time. Reccomendations? -chialea \_ I'm not sure if they sell insulated boots, but Vasque boots are very comfortable, but also pricey. Get the Gore-tex lined ones for those slushy days. \_ i'll second that. vasque boots are great. get nylon/split uppers for fast break-in. vasque are sized wider than some other brands, at least for men. \_ hmm. wider is not good. -chialea \_ hmm. wider is not good, but looking around reveals some VFS thing that works with the arctics. thanks. -chialea \- do you wants boots for hiking or something else? explain what you want to do with them. otherwise impossible to make recommendations. also nobody can recommend a model only "design criteria". boots are one of the hardest pieces of gear to buy and one piece of gear worth spending $ on. --psb \_ I have the inconvenience of living somewhere where it snows, but from what I hear it melts a lot as well, or at least slushes. I'd like to walk around, stand around waiting for the bus, and after some surgery and physical therepy, stick some snowshoes on em and go walk around, as well as some light hiking in the snow. -chialea \_ more specifically, I don't think I'll be doing multi-day until I have a good bit of physical therepy and my damn hip actually works. -chialea \_ spray some water proofing on a pair of slippers and slide in some supports. \_ I'm still waiting for someone to say something sexist and not realize it. oh wait, I guess that's me. |

11/10 The only thing that could make this car faster would be decals: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=131198 \_ Don't forget the speed-holes. \_ Why do people always associate modified Japanese sports cars with riceboys? The characters in "The Fast and Furious" aren't riceboys. \_ that's cuz you havent seen the HK original \_ A person who owns a rice rocket, regradless of ethnicity, can be referred to as a rice boi. BTW, I wouldn't consider fast and furious as illustrative of the ave. life of a rice boi. Most work retail and have dull lives. No one would watch a moive about a bunch of fry's cash register clerks, so hollywood hyped it up a bit. |

11/10 This is just wrong: http://www.lego.com/starwars/home.asp \_ why? \_ legos are just wrong since they introduced 'sets' and got rid of the 'bucket of blocks'. \_ there's nothing wrong with sets. what's wrong is the increasing number of overly specialized blocks that they make that are appropriate for one set but are totally useless elsewhere. \_ yeah, ok, I agree this is a little annoying. But one could hardly say its "wrong"... and anyway, I'm sure enterprising young creative minds can find plenty of other uses for these overly specialized pieces. hm, why are we debating this. what a waste of time-- \_ no one is debating anything. fact: it's just wrong. \_ as of at least a year or two ago you could still buy a bucket of blocks and it was pretty damn cheap too. \_ I was at a lego store 2 weeks ago and the one thing they didn't have was anything even close to the traditional bucket of blocks. \_ I have the 700piece Tie Interceptor that came out coupla years ago, sitting on my desk. Fucking sweet. \_ Uh huh.... I bet the chicks really dig on that! U R KEWL! \_ Oh, I'm sorry. Is there an insult imbedded in that comment? \_ N0 wae d00de, U R w4e KEWLE!!1 K4n 1 B U?!1 \_ You made me smile. Here's a cookie. |

11/10 Does anyone know anything about IBM thinkpad "bios encryption"? I am led to understand it does something like munge the boot sectors or partition table and put them somewhere else on the hard drive, but can't find any specifics on it. -John \_ running windows? MS KB #89549104-1376 says to reinstall. |

11/11 Can somebody clarify how exactly the settlers of the occupied territories make a living? The latest shakeup in Sharon's gov't seems to be over money for settlers. That leads me to believe that the gov't pays them to live there and do nothing else. The settlements are too far from any private sector jobs, right? \_ They get paid bounty for murdering palestinian children in their sleep and using their fresh blood in their satanic jew rituals of evil. I thought everyone knew that? \_ They steal olive groves and orange trees from Palestinians and pick the fruit. No joke, the settlements sit on most of the best farmland. \_ bullshit. they get paid by the American tax payer supported Israeli government to kill palestinian children for their wicked blood rituals. (when you grow up and stop trolling maybe I'll tell you the real answer to the OP's question except the OP looks like a troll too) |

11/11 Any 'Alias' fans? I think Sidney's mother is using the CIA to wipe out the Alliance and SD-6. She probably has deciphered enough of the Rambaldi writings to know that she won't die anytime soon so she can risk turning herself into the CIA. What about Sloan's wife Emily is she working for Irina or another member of the alliance? \_ Never watched but it sure is funny to read this stuff from a POV of total ignorance. You sound like a total psycho but I'm sure I sound the same with my shows. \_ I don't watch shows where they bait you with an exceedingly attractive woman. exceedingly attractive woman. I pirate VCDs of "The View". \_ I don't watch the show. Who's the exceddingly attractive actress? Thx. \_ Nah, if you've watched the show, then you know he's not psycho. It's building up some conspiracy (minor ones) like X-files. on DVD. Quite frankly, it's one of the best shows on TV that's worth watching. ~Ivy \_ It's too bad they didnt just keep it to straight spy vs spy and had to put in all the mumbo jumbo. Same problem with the Xfiles when they transitioned from serial killers to UFOs. \_ TV sucks. Who wants to deal with all the commercials and futzing with schedules etc.? If it's good it should be put on DVD. *pout* \_ Tivo rocks! |

11/11 Any ideas for where to buy this 3com type3 pcmcia card locally? I want it today. 3C3FE574BT \_ why a 574BT? thats a slower 16bit.. get the 575. i have bought them from the dotcom depot at lawrence and arques near frys in sunnyvale. -shac \_ I think the CardBus drivers are expermiental/unstable in linux. What OS do you use this card with? \_ Fry's in Freemont? \_ Thanks, I was wrong, Looks like the 3C3FE575CT is supported Thanks, I hope it works. -op \_ is this the place you're talking about? http://www.diskdepot.com \_ yes.. thats actually a separate store, next door, owned by the same guy... both stores are GREAT. -shac \_ Do you have a phone # or url for dotcom depot. \_ try the same phone #.. too much junk to list on a web page. \_ Fry's in Fremont? \_ nope, called em. |

11/11 Henceforward, all criticism of mutt and/or non-negative statements about pine will be summarily removed from the motd. Thank you for your cooperation. \_ Are you the bozo that keeps censoring anti-Bush comments? \_ Anti-Bush comments are anti-American and pro-Terrorist. |

11/11 Darwin at work. Gotta love basic science at work.... http://csua.org/u/52d -from http://heraldtribune.com -urld \_ That comment sure sounded stupid. \_ Thank you for participating. Your comments will be retained for 6 months on file. \_ Huh? How does a suicide have anything to do with basic science? \_ Darwin = basic science. \_ Issac Newton would disagree. Issac Newton >> you \_ A unauthorized plane flew over the MacDill AFB control tower only months after 9/11 and didn't get shot down? What lax security! \_ You believe that's what really happened? |
