If you weren't dead in the 60s or know more than me, help me understand this "Beatles-Stones rivalry."

On the fifth day of using my Canon SD800, sand got in the internals and it died. How do I fix it for the cheapest?

No. Can we have some standards and not participate in this crap?
I'd also like to ask for a pre-emptive strike on any NewsFilter post about the latest missing and found dead rich white girl they're talking about now.

Is there any easy-to-find medication (in NYC) out there that's equivalent to the old Nyquil formulation, with the meth precursors and all? The old stuff helped me greatly with any minor illness or insomnia, while the new stuff doesn't really cut it. I guess I'd have to ask at the desk, but I don't even know what to ask for.

The Reedy Creek Improvement District's
goal "is to provide effective and efficient services to the public and our taxpayers." The taxpayer is Disney, and the taxes are used to provide services for Disney by
contracting the services to Disney. The
RCID is a county-like entity in Florida, composed of the cities of Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake, which are also controlled by Disney. The government of the RCID is elected by the landowners - Disney executives who own five-acre plots, the only non-corporate and non-government landowners. The governments of the cities are elected by the residents - about 40 Disney employees split between
Bay Lake and
Lake Buena Vista. The
Rotten Library (SFW article on a NSFW site) discusses the district, which is administered from a
SimCity 2000 construction site.

Many people want to legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana and other drugs, however, few know that many
U.S. states are content simply to tax. In fact,
even the federal government wants a share (middle of p. 89 of the PDF), and
used tax stamps in
early prohibition, but only the states have recently issued
issued cool
stamps (be sure to click "exhibit"). The point, of course, is not to actually tax the drugs, but to
penalize the drug dealers for tax evasion as well as drug sales.
They have brought in some money, though. A few interesting state government pages:
Conecticut,
Nebraska,
North Carolina and their
tax return form, and
Kansas.

Student Projects
from
DigiPen, a computer game college. A few I've tried and approve include
Narbacular Drop, which is very short, more of a tech demo, but contains the idea and some of the people behind Valve's upcoming Portal
^,
Orblitz, a get-the-ball-to-the-goal puzzle game with extremely calming graphics and music, and
Bontãgo, a weird combination of RTS, Tetris, and Jenga.

Trappist
Ale.
(warning, music on first link.) The six Belgian breweries
Achel (little English),
Chimay,
Orval,
Rochefort (unofficial site),
Westmalle (no English), and
Westvleteren, along with the Dutch brewery
De Konigshoeven/
La Trappe (first is English link to monastery, second is non-English brewery site.) are the only recognized producers of
Trappist beers, although
the latter was only recently granted the appellation after several years without it. Ranging from the relatively commercial and large-scale operations of
Chimay and
La Trappe to the other extreme of
Westvleteren, who want to live quietly and
don't want their beer distributed, these beers are considered some of the
best in the world.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - East Hastings: "They have a large barge with a radio antenna tower on it, that they would charge up and discharge."
Where's this from (if anywhere)? I've looked around several places that weren't here including Google and no one could answer.

Find me a poem: The subject is Satan, climbing up to view Heaven. God is just chilling, being all Godly, and Satan is jealous and sad.

Where do we get a keg of good beer in Manhattan? My friend is having a party and the best keg they have found is Yuengling, which is good, but we want better. Like Unibroue, Ramstein (local to the area and quite good), something really good like that. The boroughs are unfortunately out as apparently this keg is getting to the party in a taxi. The party is on 13th street, so the closer to there the better.
