    What Would You Do? Bicycle Theft

    It would largely depend on circumstances, but in my neighborhood I would confront them, write down details and call the police. I wouldn't use violence because I can't justify it under the self-defense clause and I would get thrown in prison.

    Buying a Laser Pointer: What Can It Do?

    1) Yes you can buy them, generally online. You will need >80mW to burn things, though. Snooping inside of packages is rare, so there is a good chance it will get to you. A quality manufacturer is [PLAIN]www.dragonlasers.com[/url]. If you are interested in these things at all, check out...

    Show My Desktop - See How a Nerd Works!

    Hey! Guess what! There's this thing called a sweater! Maybe I should patent it.

    Is there a popular song that you absolutely detest?

    The 90's was when bands like dc Talk and Jars of Clay broke into the mainstream--because their music was really excellent. Nowadays, I get the feeling that some bands, such as Evanescense (in their early days) slap on the Christian label to limit their competition and make more money. P.S...

    ...but not my wallet :biggrin: Here's my desktop background (yes! I do have VIM up for geek cred): I keep all of my icons in the Quick Launch toolbar. It's nice and uncluttered.

    Baked Beans and Me: A Love-Hate Relationship

    Any particular word(s), phrase(s), etc. you particularly despise?

    Point taken. I won't discuss Christianity or intelligent design any more.

    Searching for Meaning: The Point of Life

    Are you writing as a moderator or as a poster that doesn't want to discuss this? (I don't want to break the rules, but the intent of your post is a little unclear to me here)
