Dental Question - Chipped molar - 18 years ago

I just visited the dentist a month ago. Not a problem was found. For the past two days something had been bothering the back of my tongue. I now discover that the molar chipped a bit leaving a rough edge. Unfortunately for me, going to the dentist is to be avoided as much as possible for financial reasons. Any suggestions as to how to deal with this? Anything I should be concerned about

yeah, this is standard. the reason why your image can't be used in ads is because it implies that you're supporting the product. nothing new.

Re: Cheap rackmount firewire storage solution? - 18 years ago

due to scales of economy, you'll be paying more for anything larger than one drive. hell, it might be worth it for you to move to larger drives. if you have 6-8 drives lying around, thats a great excuse for an xserve raid (although they're loud)

Re: What is the difference between Non ECC SDRAM and ECC SDRAM? - 18 years ago

>>Can ECC be used interchangeably with non-ECC While an interesting technical question, the premium paid for ECC would make it worthwhile to sell off the ECC and purchase new non-ecc ram.

>>My brother lives on the east coast. we grew up here in Wisconsin Thats me. All the complaints about the amount of snow are excuses for being slow about snow removal. Yes it was over 2 feet. It also took 18 hours. Its winter. The snow isn't going to melt in a day. Now shovel your goddamn walk!

Re: Ugh - Tax question - Business Travel & Meals - 18 years ago

I haven't seen anything that says that directly. I'm very certain that business lunches local to where you work are only 50% deductible, but if you're on the road it seems different rules may apply. I tell you, the IRS and the accountants are in bed together. Kind of like the candy and dental industies - but at least candy is sweet.

Ugh - Tax question - Business Travel & Meals - 18 years ago

I hope someone can verify this for me - When traveling on business, meal costs are deductible at 50% of their value. Yes, it seems simple but it can be hard to find straight info on this.

Re: Just outside TWO FOOT HIGH SNOW DRIFTS!!!! - 18 years ago

I love snow storms in nyc mainly because i can stomp around and complain about how new yorkers can't handle a little bit of snow. yeah, a lot has fallen - very slowly! This means the plows have had plenty of time to go out. Even though NYers walk everywhere, they're oblivious to the idea that clearing the path might make it easier. Everyone ends up walking in the streets. Still, it'll pr

epson 7800 prints in nyc? - 18 years ago

i'm working on a rather large photo project. i managed to find free imacon flextight access and free access to a 7800. imagine my surprise when i discovered that the 7800 wastes $100 in ink to switch from matte black to photo black. i'd have to switch it back when i'm done. thats $200 and i haven't made a print yet. Does anyone know of a good place in nyc to get epson 7800 prints made?

Re: anyone else having trouble recieving yahoo mail via pop? - 18 years ago

the particular problem we ran into is that gmail sucks for checking mail via pop from multiple machines. I believe it marks mail as read when its downloaded via pop and doesn't show the new messages to another machine. something like that.

okay, its working fine now. its a service a client pays for. yahoo actually has some good offerings on people that need a basic website/email setup but dreamhost is overkill.
