I started playing Wolf3D at the age of 5. Nobody has ever tried to stop me from walking into castles and mowing down all nazi soldiers in them and looting all their jewelry, I mean, that's what everybody does, right?

My mother has had photos disappearing from cards too, but they were junk brands anyway. Start getting good stuff.
I've heard good things about Transcend but I never had one. So far, my Kingstons, Verbatims and Delkin Devices (wtf is that? i don't know it) haven't ever failed on me.

@Taylor: You don't blow compressed air onto the mirror or focusing screen, for two reasons: The first being that cans of compressed air also contain things that are not air and you might be blowing moisture onto it. The second being that high-speed air + moisture + whatever else was in the can can erode the highly sensitive mirror or focusing screen.
@Crollapse: I'm almost certain it's the focusing screen. And the focusing screen is the only thing I'm cleaning. I am ABSOLUTELY NOT EVER touching the prism for ANY reason. I'd rather ship it to Canon Japan.
$45 for a focusing screen? Could it be out of production or something?

You call that Iomega flash drive a floppy disk? What happened to 3.5" floppies? Perhaps the closest modern equivalent would be an SD flash card or something, but that looks too bulky. I'm sure you can drop SD cards all you want and they'll be FINE.

Nobody here hates you. I don't. And seeing the comments above, I would venture that they don't either.
Your ADHD has probably contributed to you not noticing. But it CAN be treated, and not with drugs. Start reading books, and make it a point to finish them. Start with short books, children books if you will; then slowly move on to longer ones. Learn to live them and enjoy them. You'll realise they can have awesome stories, and you'll WANT to finish them. It's only a matter of determination.
You get bullied and your teachers hate you? Perhaps not as much as you think. I used to feel the same way, until I noticed things aren't quite what they seem. Look closely. Learn to ignore them in a healthy way. They won't understand and they'll try harder at first, but then they'll get bored and gradually forget about it. Meanwhile, learn to enjoy watching their pathetic attempts to piss you off. Make their weaknesses your strengths. You'll start grinning with malice and that will confuse them and piss them off.
Don't forget - you're the director of your own life. Don't just sit back and watch the film, because you're the only one that can put any meaning in it. You'd be watching an empty film otherwise. I'm guilty of the same, so I know.

Questions:
I'm not sure I understand. Were you hired as an actor to perform in front of the CCTV system for someone to record and replay the next morning?
Were there real bullets being used, and purposely shot at whiskey tanks for the sake of the exercise? Or was it just someone saying it happened so that those that didn't know would act accordingly?
Also, I'm looking at a captcha that is a photo of something rather than scanned text.
This week was also passover for the jewish.
Almost 7 also is.
I love Chinese food. I get it at this tiny joint run by a Chinese family and it comes in plastic containers.
Why exactly were you carrying a gun on your backpack? Did it have silver bullets?
Would you get an all-expenses-paid trip to Ukraine?

I advice you not to clean it yourself if possible, unless you're very sure of what you're doing.
Sounds like the most pointless plugin ever. What was wrong with the normal way?
Gotta back all the stuff up soon.
I don't regret that it didn't happen.
You somehow need to get the angle right. Too bad you can't show.

HAMMERTIME!
Sorry, couldn't help it

Anyway, definitely sounds like fun.
But don't tell anyone.
