Re: Grammarians: was, or were? CNN reports. - 12 years ago

QuoteMacJeepster It's not past tense; it's subjunctive case - were. -mj +infinity. MacJeepster is correct. It's the subjunctive which is the past conditional tense. If any of you studied other languages in detail, it would make sense.

Re: History, Texas style - 12 years ago

Personally, I would like to see the Collegiate Board or a bunch of the good universities, anyway, refuse to take high school seniors from Texas. And I don't mean just Harvard, Columbia, etc. I mean even high end state research schools like UCLA, UF, UMich, OSU, etc. That would possibly help push back on the insanity. Those textbooks and curricula are literally not up to academic standard and shou

Blooz, I've never made ratatouille before. I might as well try later this week or even tomorrow night. I may have a lot of the ingredients. 3d, I meant to have some white wine with it but completely became enrapt and kept eating and forgot the damn wine. Don't even hate on your waffle cone and ice cream. Sometimes the simplest things are best. Through the amazing power of Facebook and Twitter,

Are you sure that's Atlantic City? There have been some mixups lately on Twitter. Someone posted a picture of what he thought was the East River swelling but turns out it was actually in NC near the eye of the storm. If it is Atlantic City, holy cat balls, Batman.

Re: Hurricane Irene Cooking: Tomato, Onion, Olive & Anchovy Tart - 12 years ago

Mmm, August, thanks for that suggestion. There are some pasta and leftover anchovies to use up. I'll probably try that tomorrow night for dinner to have leftovers for Monday. I love simple Mediterranean meals like that with lots of good olive oil. miK, where are you anyway? BTW, I freaking LOVE puff pastry. I'm so tempted to make a peach tart with the other shell. I also bought individual

Hurricane Irene Cooking: Tomato, Onion, Olive & Anchovy Tart - 12 years ago

I'm so freaking glad I made this. I used a packaged puff pastry base instead of making my own crust and it's heavenly. I used this recipe from Epicurious as a base - . Instead of Jack or Gruyere cheese, I used a strong Irish cheddar on the crust then microplaned parmesan on top. Next time, I may just leave out the anchovies altogether (only put them on half this time). I made this to use

Re: Hurricane Irene Safe and Well thread. Check in so we know you're okay! - 12 years ago

The real rain (I think) is finally starting here in Brooklyn, NY. I'm not in one of the areas in Brooklyn that had to be evacuated, thankfully. Other folks I know are right on the edge or my friends in City Island off the Bronx had to return to a friend's house in Brooklyn with their cats. I partially think this is an overreaction seeing as how I grew up in Orlando and have been through at lea

Re: Poll: Are you inked? - 12 years ago

I don't have one right now but I'm going to a consultation tomorrow night to get my first one done. I'm almost 31 and have wanted a tattoo since I was 15. Life kept on getting in the way, but now I'm finally ready for it. My first one will be "poco a poco" tattooed on right inner form arm. My mum used to say it all the time; it means "little by little" in Spanish. As in, thing

Does a nuke and pave automatically de-authorize Adobe products? - 12 years ago

This would be a good thing. I'm going to sell off about $700 - $900 of old Adobe and Macromedia software I have lying around. They were installed on a previous computer that I nuked and paved before giving it back to the company. Does that mean the activation is completely voided then? I still have the software and boxes, it's just that I gave the company laptop back. If the nuke and pave doe

Crap, I was hoping for a Dropbox solution or something. I was just holding down the "C" during start up hoping to get it to read but now it just keeps whirring and clicking the piece of @#$%& drive. Great, even freaking better. Anyway, would it be possible for anyone to upload it just so I could try anyway? Thanks folks.

In all seriousness, that food isn't that great anyway. I fed my cats Nutro Max Cat when the ex and I were together and he still feeds them that. Check the ingredients on the Hill's then check Nutro.

Hey folks, I'm sending out a bid for an information architecture (IA) project. I'll be translating the paper wireframes into digital ones. I've started using Fireworks for this before but would like to investigate using Visio instead because it seems to have a lot of existing templates and tools ready. So, my questions are: 1. What are the best options for virtual machine software right now
