I was just in Vegas and I learned that even the light beers we have in Canada like MGD have light versions in the States: Miller Lite! 64 calories a bottle! I think they just took some old water and poured it through a slice of bread.
American beer is quite terrible.
Your life is already in the hands of the air traffic controllers, who are already sitting on the ground looking at screens. Not sure how this would be any different.
I need training to find anything in the damn Windows 7 control panel. Since when did we start sorting alphabetically from left to right instead of top to bottom?
Not using an admin account is not a defense to these xp antivirus programs. It installs itself to the users profile so even if they are using a limited user account it still puts an icon in the system tray, changes the wallpaper and popups up messages about how they are infected and need to provide credit card details. So don't count on that any longer as a defense, at least not in Windows XP at least.
Symantec and McAfee are partially responsible for this problem. They were the ones that got users used to whipping out their credit cards when their computer told them their antivirus subscription was over and needed to be renewed. No longer was it good enough to go to the store and buy a boxed antivirus solution with free lifetime updates. Now they wanted money from you every year.
Now grandma gets a popup about how her xp antivirus needs her credit card information. She doesn't know the difference. It's really a smart social engineering solution that was set in motion by the greedy major antivirus companies.
Instead of using kill process tree you can use suspend process. That way it won't relaunch itself or other related processes. Then you can kill them all without having to click really really fast.
My personal average is 4 tries with 6 swear words. I've also learned that the USB connector fits convincingly in the network port, but interestingly enough it doesn't work in that port.
I'm tired of this whole green fad already. It has turned into an excuse for any company to be cheap and charge you more for less while under the guise of doing something for the environment. Most stores are now charging for plastic bags, not because they may be expensive to make or because they flat out want to make a profit on them, but because it's 'for the environment'. Give me a break.
Sorry to hear about your problems. Mine is provided by work so I don't have any financial attachment to it, fortunately. One problem I forgot to mention however is the screen. I have two one inch light colored oval shapes equal distance from each other in the center of the screen. They are only really noticeable on a light background, but are annoying anyway.
My next work laptop will be a lenovo. The premium price for an Apple does not buy you a premium computer...just a premium status symbol.
I've had a MacBook Pro for a couple of years now and overall I'm not impressed. The aluminum case dents super easily, there are only two USB ports, I am on my second power adaptor and second battery, and my DVD drive no longer burns DVD's. Furthermore, it gets so hot you cannot have it on your lap without a layer of asbestos between it and your legs.
Also, Alice in Wonderland and Clash of the Titans were shot in 2D and then post processed to give them the illusion of being in 3d...and the effect is shit.
If you read books you might be interested to read One Second After by William R Forstchen. It's about an EMP blast that kills all electronic devices and the aftermath.
If it is correct to say that airplanes have wings then it is also correct to say that helicopters have wings. More specifically airplanes have fixed wings and helicopters have rotary wings.

No, instead of actually doing something they were just praying. As they found out, prayer doesn't actually work: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=no-prayer-prescription
So the state of California itself may cause cancer? Seems fitting...

How ignorant to you have to be to be proud of your ignorance?

Thanks for the tip! Feels like cheating...although I'm used to typing mstsc for RDP for years now.

Can anyone explain why people are so interested in this? I never really understood it.

Yes you can. Come to Canada sometime.

You know too much.
Not sure about Morse code having any sex appeal. Ever try picking up chicks by tapping morse code pickup lines on the bar? It doesn't work.

I think you should use more acronyms next time.
I had an acronym for acronym battle with my RN wife and she blew me away, so be careful!

Yeah it's gotten out of hand. One or two good ones would've been enough.
Wow you are so powerful.
