Hal has had many, many, many relationships with beautiful women all over the world, so he is in fact, not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You need two things for a website: a domain name and hosting on a server. If you are just starting out, there are tons of hosting services out there.

Well, i'm surprised they are still using DPI - that is actually an old term that used to apply to everything from the resolution to the output. Specifically, DPI refers to a printer which uses 4 to 6 colors, depending on the printer. Since there is a small amount of colors, the printer will mix the ...

Well, I'm no engineer, but I believe that with fully articulated rotor (3 blade) helicopters, a big risk is ground resonance.
