Become an actuary. An actuary told me that once. -JNS

Sloan has a new album? I shall be checking that out! -JNS

New car, caviar, four star daydream. Think I'll buy me a football Canadarm team. r-ring rip chug clatter chugga-chugga clink clatter :D -JNS

You know if James had not mentioned his age, I very much doubt that people would be telling him about getting off his high horse, about being rude, about .. being a self-assured individual who thinks for himself. From what I've seen, I think James is going to be quite a successful person. He...

The WKRP theme song. "Cincinnati, WKRP". -JNS

Why don't you bring your proficiency to some tunes of your own making and put them out as an album? It doesn't have to all happen overnight, but it can be an ongoing project. I imagine Paul Simon was in a rut after Simon & Garfunkel and his early solo work, but then turned to African music to...

You too, Zane? I got through that lack-of-interest phase by writing my own tunes. It's a breeze to do today with a soundcard and multitracking software. It helps to have some experience or anecdote to base the tune off of. In my case, I did a guitar tune about an acquaintance of mine who...

Hopefully someone on the forum might know something about ascertaining the resale value of a Fender Stratocaster guitar. I got it used from a Strat enthusiast, and it was in fantastic condition, and was improved by some aftermarket parts. It's a Mexican-made Strat (serial MN9.....), "Midnight...

I would suspect that the quality of the optical material used, and the quality of the outer cladding (and therefore the uniformity of the critical angle over the length of the fiber) would play a large role in overall bandwidth capacity. Think of it as a telescope made with finely-machined...

A friend of mine just completed his Ph.D. in CFD, so I can ask him for you. -JNS

The stereotype is there for good reason. Most of the Asian families in North America came over here either with a good education or a solid work ethic. These families tend to value education more than most (although there are exceptions). I've noticed a lot of Jewish people value education in...
