I'm drunk but ST is set in a future where mankind have evolved beyond the desire for economic wealth, Instead they seek intellectual wealth through art and exploration etc. Other races, like the Ferengi, haven't gotten that far yet, so money sort of exist anyway.

Thanks man, got a new PC and didn't want to bother with the Norton junk.
Avast is fine but its a resource hog and will constantly annoy you with updates. Use Microsoft Security Essentials.

Why didn't Ace of Base call themselves Ace of Bass?

Thinking music

From wikipedia.....

The new quartet sought a new name to make a fresh start; Linn was reported saying: "No one could pronounce the name of the group and nobody could remember it". They settled on Ace of Base, because they were the "masters of their studio", the basement of a car-repair shop.

I hate you for making me look that up.

Do Americans always leave the bathroom door unlocked? In every movie or sitcom people seem to able to bust in at any time they want. (Meet the Fockers for example)

When alone - yes. However, I always lock the door when taking a shower (Thank you Psycho).

On a similar note, do Americans really leave their keys in the sun-visor in their cars?
Never.

Acutally, that's only sort of true. I keep my car keys with me, but when I'm out all my other keys are on a seperate keychain that I leave in the car.

I never lock my bathroom door.

Yeah, I never lock it for safety reasons. Just incase I slip and fall and hit myself and someone hears it, I want them to be able to help me ASAP, not start fucking around with locked doors.

edit- Only lock it when taking a piss or shit. I unlock when taking a shower though.
 
I'm trying to find a music video I saw a few years back. It had some awesomely US Patriotic stuff, like firemen, an american flag washing up on the beach (I think the flag even was the water?) and eagles and everything. May or may not be satire.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

It's sorta like how people never say bye when finishing a phone call, I think?

I never lock the bathroom door unless I'm at someone else's house, but I do say bye when finishing a phone call.
 
I always lock the bathroom door, even when no one is home at the moment. Just precaution/habit. Also the only time I encountered people leaving their keys in the car was when I Was in Kentucky in a REALLY rural area.
 
Let's say you are driving 20km/h in your car (or 20mph) and a bee is flying beside you. It is flying 20km/h too right?

What happens when it enters your car and flies around in there? Is it still flying at 20km/h? Or does it change because it's now inside the car's airspace?

It doesn't have to 'go forward' to appear to remain stationary if that's what you mean.

It depends on what it's relative to. If it's relative to things outside the car and the bee is flying forward at 1km/h while inside your car then the bee is flying 21km/h relative to things outside the car. But if it's relative to things inside the car then it is only flying 1km/h

The least disingenuous answer on offer is to gradually water them down.

Well at am/pm I do mix a little bit of energy drink with the rest being gatorade that sort of uh...no that really doesn't work.
 
How many letters missed does it take for someone to fail a certain row on an eye exam chart? I have to schedule an eye exam at a free clinic and I'm terrified that my vision uncorrected isn't at least 20/60 for a government job. If it isn't, then my life is really, really, fucked because that means most likely I won't be able to find any other government security/police job since they will have similiar vision requirements. LAISIK is out of the question because I have no insurance or money. :(

Can anyone think of any movies/TV shows with a pet dog named Maggie? This seemingly random question is driving me up the wall D:

Or maybe a better question is why does a dog named Maggie sound so familiar?

Not to answer my own question or anything but the answer just came to me (2 days later), I was totally thinking of The River Wild and not going crazy at all.
