Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do you call an object type definition of which you never intend to have an instance, but rather have created for inheritance purposes?

I've often referred to them as abstract classes.

Abstract! That'll do nicely. Thanks.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Has anyone seen the Gehry watches in stores anywhere? I'd love to take a look at one to see if I could actually wear it.

I saw it today on the wrist of a coworker. It doesn't look quite as good in person, as from an angle you can see the non-illuminated segments as well as the illuminated ones.

The long tabs on the side that hold the band are also a problem, I think, if you have a small wrist. I'm not sure it would fit snugly.

Even so, it's going on my birthday list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, the link goes to Fossil, so I think their stores would have it in stock. Let's see - where's the nearest Fossil store? I know there's one in Gurnee Mills - is there one in Watertower Place?

eta: Yes there is. There's also a store in Woodfield Mall in Schaumberg (if you're ever unfortunate enough to find yourself in Schaumberg).

HELP ME

I have recently given up my cable to haha save money. but I am missing The Daily Show and BSG something awful. I hear there are ways to download episodes but I don't know where or how to go about it. Can someone steer me in the right direction?

I've tried searching this thread but I'm getting nowhere.

help

I have to go to Lookingglass this week, so I'll try to hit Watertower Place while I'm down there.

The long tabs on the side that hold the band are also a problem, I think, if you have a small wrist. I'm not sure it would fit snugly.

My wrists are relatively small, but I also have a metal allergy to contend with. The Fossil site says they're titanium cases, which I can wear, but if there are other parts (like screws) that contact the skin I'm out of luck.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

quester, I haven't done it personally yet, but if you use BitTorrent and go to a torrent site, you can download episodes of both those shows. I have a friend who does it and burns them for me. It's slow going. Takes a while to download. And you need plenty of hard drive space.

Coding and Sleeping

Insent quester.

I have cable modem, a recent daily show takes me about 15 minutes to download. Less active torrents can take a lot longer.
