When your deprived of sleep you don't have the drunkenness symptom, though your reflexes and movements are weird because of the stress and your ability to focus is not all that great you are not what I would call drunk (more or less your just slow and your dexterity is pathetic); you would pass the average alcohol cop test for example. When you're drunk you are just edgy (at worst), no stress etc (well you do get it afterwards usually).
I do not see how I can confuse it with a placebo seeing as there is nothing there I could fool myself with. If anything I think the people in your (controlled?) study are more likely then us.

I don't dislike the feeling of sleep-deprivation. Unfortunately, alcohol just gives me headache and makes me sleepy. |

Can I buy California IOUs?
I heard that CA IOU's carry a 3.7% TAX FREE interest rate.
Somebody with a pocketful of cash will make a killing on these things. They'll buy them at 90 cents on the dollar and then cash them in for the profit AND save tax money. |

I know Arnold asked banks to honor the IOUs right now (in which case the banks would collect the interest on them later)... but I haven't heard if any banks stepped up to the plate on that request.

I'm not sure if this is a complete reason, but one reason is that dollars and pounds (and euros, apparently) are divided into even smaller units (cents for dollars and euros, pence for pounds). If you think of currency in terms of cents, the difference isn't nearly as exaggerated. Western countries just happen to have a word for "one hundred cents."

Last year at this time, 1 US dollar got you about 120 yen. Since the start of this year, it has ranged between 90-95 yen. That's a painful hit for people who buy Japanese-made products (like CDs, figures, etc).
The reason has to do with the money markets where currency is bought and speculated on. The US dollar is simply weak against those asian currencies right now because of the results from the massive Ponzi scheme Wall Street and associates played with the mortgage/loan system, eight years of accelerating govt debt and shady accounting, lack of infrastructure investment, and just a general observation that the US corporate+govt is not only doing a lousy job but looting the cookie jar in a manner not seen since the robber baron period of the 19th/early20th C. Increase confidence that corporate officers are actually doing their job instead of enriching themselves and that the US Govt (both parties) are not bought and paid for to enrich a few corporates but to regulate a reliable system of commerce... and the dollar may rise in value again.

I was reading Klash's thread earlier. And he goes about saying how he wanted to do a very wide signature, but couldn't, because of the constraints of the forum. Now I think that's strange, since the forum rules doesn't tell you how to make your signature or how it should look just how it should behave as, no?
Q1. I have a signature which is comprised of two images positioned next to each other on the same line, both are 500x80 pixels in dimension. Is the signature legit? =P If its hard to understand lets pretend for a sec Vexx's current is not 100px but 80px (for the sake of the question), the signature would look like this: Q2. If the answer to the previous question is negative then why is it not legit?

Fermented goodness.
Slightly salty taste with a bitter after taste, and feels like the edible bacteria are swimming off your tongue with the gooeyness. It's really good. Fermented foods are things you usually grow up with (acquired taste). My home town in China is well known for some of its stinkier dishes, so anything fermented makes my stomach growl in hunger. |

I knows they have same area, but in this case the signature is restricted by size and the two dimensions. Just like how they restrict your bag when you get on an air plane (except it's 3 dimensions there) The reason behind this (as i think) are - firstly, to prevent any signature longer than the normal screen that most ppl used. - secondly, i visited several forum without the "restricted dimension" signature, and i don't know the actual reasons, but it's really hard to see where a post end and another posts started when the whole page is crammed with signatures. While i hate the size restriction is animesuki (especially when my desired avatar or signature was just 10 inches longer or 0.1 kb bigger). But i admit comparing to other site the dimensions restriction does make the whole site looks neater

If I use a desktop email client, it will have to sign in to my email account(s) in order to retrieve my mails, right? So will that satisfy the active account requirements for (free versions of) aol/aim mail, gmail, windows live/hotmail, and yahoo or do i still have to manually sign in with a web browser?

My mom uses outlook express, cause she doesn't know anything else, what I know about is that you can access the emails you've received even when you have no internet, only bad thing of course is that you don't receive anything new and it is accessible by other people quite easily, my mom has it passworded but I had it several times that I would ignore that message and I could still browse through her email (ont he same pc ofc), but I must add that she has outlook registered to her email and never uses it for any other email, I think that if you try that then you'd have to *internet required* problem to retrieve everything each time but then again I'm no big fan of outlook or any desktop email D: |

Maybe this should have been put on the General Anime section but I don't feel like creating another thread..
So, I just watched Gantz. I actually looked up this anime like 1,5 years ago, but I didn't bother checking it out because Wikipedia, Anidb and so on, listed it as mecha. So now I watched it, and I ask : Where is the mecha ? O.o Makes me wonder if I've missed any other good series just because they're mistakenly tagged...

I'm actually using windows live mail, never really cared for either outlook or outlook express.
