What gets me is the large number of people *in a tech-related field* that are clueless. Those are the ones who really get me steamed. "Are you trying to tell me that you, the lead programmer, got an email *from yourself* that you didn't recognize, with an attachment you'd never seen before, and decided to open it anyway? After I spent all day yesterday warning you not to open any unknown attachments? And now you want me to clean your system for you?"
"Normal" people I have a lot of patience with, though:)
When I was last laid off (6+ yrs ago) I delivered pizza for a while. Until my car got repo'd cause I wasn't making any money. If you *do* decide to deliver pizza, make sure they don't stick you on the day shift. That sucks.
I did get a couple of good tips, though. Once I delivered to a (apparently) drug dealer. There was a lot of weed on the counter, anyway. Got a big fatty for a tip that day.
Then there was the two really cute chicks getting ready to leave for CA who wanted me to go, too. If it weren't for my daughter at home, I'd have split that day.
That said, I'd probably come closer to doing gay porn than pizza delivery now. Hopefully I won't have to do either.
I have to admit, lately I've become obsessed with the Yugo. I really, *really* want to get one & replace the entire frame, suspension, & drivetrain. Pretty much everything but the body. Hmmm, if I moved the driver's seat to the back, I could probably fit my Cad425 in it... Talk about your ultimate sleeper:)
Not really. If he'd held out for 10,000 bucks, that'd be squatting. If I hold a domain, and have developed it, it's worth more than the money I paid for it. It's not unreasonable for me to want to make a profit off it. After all, it has to be worth *something*, or you wouldn't want it.
These few items compensated him for the work he's done on it, make him happy, and makes MS happy. That's the way transactions are supposed to work.
KRS has a bunch of stuff on eMusic.com now!!! My life is complete... well, my life is complete shit, but KRS+eMusic makes me happy. You can take your $0.99 tracks, w/ my $10/40 songs/month, I get 'em for a quarter:D
Definitely. Even if the pen was a low-security one. Once your fellow inmates found out why you were there, "I got a free Coke using a counterfeit dollar..." they'd be all over your ass. Literally.
Most of the local TV reporters on our local stations (Memphis) live locally. My gf knows a lot of them. As for radio, I don't know if *all* of them are local, but the "big" ones are. I really don't care where the 3am jocks live. (Now that I think about it, I think I've noticed that the evening jocks on the local CC rock station are syndicated.)
The local TV news still sucks. Radio is marginally better.
You know, there *are* such things as single fathers. I've been amicably separated from my wife for almost 4 years, and we're taking the plunge for the big D this spring.
And none of them are very new. My newest PC is an Athlon 1.2. I have a 486-25, a p3-450, and my "big" server is a dual p2-233.
My gf has already informed me that when she moves in, the PCs are moving out of the bedroom:)
I'll be honest here, I'd be a hell of a lot more worried if I didn't live in the US. It's one of those situations where the gun always looks 10 times bigger when you're looking down the barrel.
I just wanted to state for the record that I was greatly offended by your post. I might have looked over your most serious transgression if it were a single isolated incident. No, you had to mention it twice.
From now on, please leave the race of the elephant out of the conversation. Your constant references to the elephants race does nothing to promote racial harmony and social enlightenment.
My current watch is a Timex Datalink. Stores your phone #s, todo lists, anniversaries, etc. I like those features (the one I use most often is the todo list, I have my daughter's SSN in it), but the watch is getting long in the tooth, and I can no longer update it (requires CRT & win9x).
I want something that I can always keep with me & can handle a few seldom used, but important when you need them (SSNs for example), notes.
I haven't done too much research yet, I'll wait until my watch dies & I have to, but I ought to go ahead & replace it. Just as soon as I can get the features I want for an affordable price...

Thanks, saved me from having to post and point out there's already a plot to H2G2. Well, crap. Now I've posted anyway :)
Unless it's the owner of the company...

Well, *I'd* say the fool is the one going to $10 hookers. Have some respect, man. 100 $35 hookers is the way to go...

A lot of absolutely true things are funny. How about the duck-billed platypus? Darwin Awards? At least you got *one* insightful...
I thought it was "it's your ass that makes you look fat", but I've been known to be wrong before.

Hey, your "i" key is sticking...

Sorry, I couldn't resist

I sure hope that I never get told I can't use my name, because it's illegal. Maybe he should change his name to a "sign" thing, like Prince did..
Then they'd never play your clip & probably not your song and you'd be dead :)

I have 4 PCs running 24/7 in my bedroom, including the server w/ 2 PSU fans, 3 big case fans, and 10 little fans on the SCSI RAID enclosure.
:)
On those rare occasions when my power has gone out at night,I wake up instantly. The absence of noise is what wakes me up.
Just don't tell my daughter, or she'll kick the power plugs to wake me up at 7am on Saturday

He spends the money before he goes. On what? Well, hookers & drugs springs instantly to mind...
Yes. I rarely notice usernames...
You forgot to mention that if you subscribe to eMusic's basic plan, it works out to being $0.25/song...
:)
Oh, and eMusic rocks!

Right after I read your comment I glanced up at your username & saw "flippinburgers".

But then you wouldn't be making so much dough
Why not state the obvious here, www.whitehouse.com?
