  1. Re:Name ONE on Mac users 'too smug' Over Security? · · Score: 1

    How about Claude.A?

    I mean, really, *YOU* named *one* mac virus in *your* post.

    What you really want is for him to name *another*...

    (I'll state for the record that I'm completely ignorant of mac viruses, and I'm assuming from your post that claude.a is in the wild, since you claim to have seen it)

    I was doing so good, too. Almost 15 years virus-free, and you hooligans have to screw it all up.

    Our monitor guy at work does something w/ that suction cup looking thingy & a screwdriver to dissipate excess zap juice. Dunno what it is, or why it works, but allows him to work on monitors w/o waiting.

    A motherfucker I know (and if you've played against him, you'd call him a mofo, too) claims that's how he gets his knifes in CS:S. Normally plays w/ the dpi jacked up, but kicks it way down to knife w/o missing.

    Of course, every DL pic of me shows me wearing glasses, and if I'm driving w/o them, there's more to worry about than a ticket... like the apocalypse....

    LOL, it's been on sale a year. I hate to do it, I love that engine. I just don't have the space to keep it and don't have the money to put the engine in something else.

    Who needs a Viper? I do that all the time in my '97 Mercury Grand Marquis (4.6L V8). AND I do it in a grampa car :P

    Before electrical probs forced me to park it, I could spank nearly everyone in the land barge... er, '79 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. That big-ass car has a big-ass 7L V8 under the hood. You're forced to drive the damn thing like a grampa. Otherwise you just sit at the green light spinning the wheels. I ended up putting most of my tools in the trunk, just to add traction.

    Seriously, it's not difficult to beat most of the "ricers" out there. There are a few "real" cars that aren't domestic, though. They use the camoflage of the ricers to fool you. You expect that Honda to be mostly bodywork & stickers, and that bastard actually spent mucho dineros under the hood. Fucker.

    That said, if you really want some power, I've got my Caddy up for sale. Motor is strong, needs some body and electrical work. First $500 gets it...

    Play the lottery every week?
    Seriously, in TN the lotteries give enough money to education that anyone with the grades can get a scholarship.

    My daughter knows this, and she knows she has to keep her grades up.

    As a last resort, and she doesn't know this, but her great-great-gramma left her a trust fund when she died that is specifically for college. I haven't told her because I want her to keep her grades up. None of that "I don't need a scholarship so I can coast through school".

    I'd mod you up. I feel your pain. My problem is not just time, it's skill, or lack thereof.

    My "best" dish is EasyMac, sm. can of green peas, 1/2 can tuna mixed up. My daughter loves it. She goes on & on about how great it is. Then someone asks if it's really good. "Oh, yeah.... for him...."

    At 9 she's old enough to be disdainful of my cooking. Joy.

  23. Re:For Dogs? on First Cell Phone for Dogs · · Score: 1

    Most of your points are valid, I will take exception to the "security" comment. Nowhere did I say that *I* would want a phone with GPS. Just that it would be nice to have it for my kid. I also have one of those IdentaKid cards with her picture & info on it. Somewhere, in a computer, is a copy of her DOB, name, picture, and fingerprint. Did I give up some of her privacy to do it? Yes. It was an acceptable trade.

    Do you always pay in cash? Have a driver's license? Bank account? Mortgage/lease? Job? On the dole? Hmph. Giving up all your privacy and freedoms for a little "convenience".

    Third scenario. You give one to your kids. "Here, you've been halfway decent, here's a shiny new mobile for ya."

    You don't tell the little shit that it has GPS. Not even when you bust them with it. "Oh, really, at Mike's all night? Well, *someone* saw you at the rave I specifically told you not to go to...."

    Just because *you* know it has GPS, doesn't mean *they* need to know.

    My daughter is 9. She's getting a mobile for xmas (her mom has 50/50 custody & is bad about paying her phone bill). If I could get GPS for a reasonable amount I would. If, god forbid, she ever gets abducted, it could come in *extremely* handy.
