Where's your citations for your statements? You can't go making up facts without backing them up. Bullet trains travel on a track, they do not travel freely with other bullet trains in crowded roadways. Pretty much anyone with a p

You think I didn't try that? IIRC opening up Excel again from the start menu didn't create a new instance, it just gave focus to the document/instance I had open. My jaw kinda dropped cause it wasn't like I had an extrem

A few years ago I had to look at two Excel spreadsheets fullscreen side by side each open in their own window (two monitor setup) and this was...not easy!!! I eventually found some hack online to open up multiple instances of Excel at once.

I'm claustrophobic. Elevators are fine, they are plenty big enough. MRIs are not. There are different levels of claustrophobia though, some people need to sit next to an exit in a room, for example, and not in the back for easy escape.

It's like BMI, taken as a measure of one film it isn't that valuable, however taken as a whole it is a measure of societal trends. It is one metric, of many. >Tell me now. How many films have a scene where two or more men discu

Yeah right. If the gold market collapsed then nobody would be making selling or wearing gold jewelry. The reason it is popular now is because it is expensive.

I ALWAYS pay my electric bill with credit card. No fee. When I set it up, it required a phone call to turn on, and my name, um, not sure what else. No bank account or anything else. Just a phone call with my name.
