Well it was not quite to the 20 page mark but somehow when i transfered the file from a lab computer to my home computer it got screwed up. I lost about 90 % of what I had written and now I am totaly fucked.

Who wants to go drinking.

Ok, I see how it is.

I am up for that Laurel said she would marry me to someone.

I have lost all motivation to even attempt to fix this paper.
 
I'm not taking your sympathy "gee, well I guess we can get married" attitude.

I need passion and desire or at least something close to it.
 
Guy, I totally sympathize.

I hope that there is someway to fix it. Do you have an IT service at your school that may help?

Good luck.
 
Whoped fucking do I may not be screwed so badly.

I find an old rough draft hard copy so I did not lose as much as I though.

Thank you god

Oh and Mellon Collie I would like to give those sweet lips of yours some attention.

Then work my way down the rest of that gorgeous body of yours kissing every inch of your flesh.













How is that for some fucking passion ehhh :p

<Has an empathy heart-attack> I just about died reading that and trying to grasp how terrible that would be. Thankfully, I should recover knowing that you also recovered most (or much) of your paper. Quickest damn 30 seconds of my life!
 
Now I'll just have to work on making it natural, I had my hair braided the day before to make it curly like that.

:D
 
I have a few pages as hard copy and my bibliography but thats it.

I am glad I have the biliography because just that is over 2 pages long.

Have you checked to see if the original can be undeleted from the school computer? Did you even delete it from the school computer? Why don't you have your word processor set to create an automatic *.BAK file -- maybe you do and don't know it?

The school comps save files to a student folder that gets wiped every 24 hours. I have already looked all over that computer to see if it survived the purge. No such luck.

Have you checked YOUR computer's recycle bin for an older version?

Have you tried MS Word's "recover text from any file" conversion utility?

Have you tried renaming the file as .TXT and opening it with a text based word processor (Notepad or WordPad) to see how much of the text you can find? You'll lose most of the formatting, but reformatting is easy once you delete the garbage created by the formatting codes in the original file.

You also have a PM
 
Yup me and my rommate did that and we found a couple of pages but thats it.

I have a hard copy with me now but it is an old rough draft and is not complete. I am about finished retyping/revising it and am about to start really writing it.
 
Azwed 'ol buddy, soory you are experiencing such difrugalties. Perhaps one of weird Harold's sage tips will assist you in slowing the acceleration of your demise.

As a semi-wise sage myself, I will just add that in order for one to become a responsible adult, one must learn to back up.

Great googly moogly.

I'm having vodka cranberries tonight. Can I fix you one, my friend?

I normaly do and this time I forgot to email myself a copy of the file when I was finished writing for the night. I do that in case something happens to my disk then I have another copy on the email server.

If its something I can help you with, like jerking off to jenna jameson porn, or why Erwin rommel was so fuckin good in north africa, let me know.

I also know a lot about drip irrigation and chickens.
 
The Powell/Weinberger Doctrine

Evolution of it over the past 20 some years and whether or not it can be universaly applied.
 
Powell Doctrine in brief

All of these conditions must be met before military force should be used by the US.

1. Vital interests of the nation or its allies must be at stake.
2. A clear commitment to victory must exist.
3. Political and military objectives must be clear
4. Forces must be properly sized to achieve the objective.
5. Reasonable assurance of public and Congressional support must be secured prior to intervening.
6. Force must be used only as a last resort
