2 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoWhat is the name of an older Sci-fi story?
It was about a boy trying to escape these walking towers that would fit you with a cap on your 18th birthday. This cap would give them control over you - you would be their slave. I always envisioned the towers as water towers and so this book has haunted me all of these years.
2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhat items do I need for general emergency preparedness?
I have a wife and four children. I am wondering what items to keep on hand in case (the Dow drops below 8000 and there are massive riots. That's silly right?). We have a tent, I bought a propane lantern and cook stove. I have 100 lbs of rice and I have 75lbs of beans on the way.
specific questions:
1) How do I store enough water for 6 people? It has to be mostly maintenance free because it is going to be a lot of water.
2) How much food do I really need. It seems like that should do it 100lbs of everything but growing kids (8,6,3,3) can throw things off a bit.
3) I probably need more lighting, are there any other items that I could use that I might be missing?
I want to keep it reasonable but useful. I am trying to buy things that will keep, and that we would use anyway. Also the only other thing that I can think of is a gun, but with 4 young kids I don't even want to think about that.
Thanks for all your help.

5 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoAtheists Please? Just how does "The Bible is stupid!" qualify for some kind of erudite theological argument?
Really, should we just call each other poopy-heads and get it over with. Come up with some new material PLEASE. You say that the bible has contradictions but no one can show me a good one. You ask the same lame questions over and over. How can there be a God if there is evil in the world? (That's a genius question! I have never heard that one before!) So give me your best shot, give me something original and interesting cause frankly your irritating me. I would rather witness to my hemorrhoids.
23 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoI need to make my connection string configurable at run time in visual C#.?
We are slow at work so my Boss let me "Play" and come up with a customer data base to keep all of our customers names and addresses. The data base ( Sqlite by the way) is on my computer while it can be accessed from any computer on our network. How can I make the connection string configurable so that when I move on and my computer crashes, they can set up on a new computer. Without having to recompile the source code.
Visual C# in Visual Studio 2005 by the way.
1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoDid I hear that the congress was taking Wenday off because of a Jewish Holiday?
I'm all for holidays and we should get as many as we can. George Bush can never get his fill. But honestly, didn't it tickle the backs of their minds that there just might be, I don't know, SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT?
Like the end of America??? Unless skipping this Holiday is punishable by death then I say GET THE F*** BACK TO WORK YOU WORTHLESS SOBS!!
9 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhat areas of C# should I focus on to master the language?
I have been studying C# and I really want to own the language. If anyone has advice and or resources to help I would appreciate it. I don't know what skills that I need to be marketable and I would like to focus on those first. I can beat my way through any problem that you give me but it is not fast and or efficient. My code is nowhere near as pretty as some of the open source code hat I look at. Any advice is welcome, thank you.
