True story, I had a customer who insisted on using 111.222.x.x for his NATting. He swore that his old ISP had let him. He was very angry when I explained the concept (and why it's important) behind the assigned NAT ips)

Speaking of bugs in laptops, I noticed that my iBook had been at one time inhabited by something...creepy, and took a picture. I have no idea what that is, or why it was in there, or how it got in there...
Ahh, defcon, where I was offered everything from bottles of whiskey in the pool, to beer walking around/at talks, and I'm not even a good looking girl;) then again, our room came with a fridge full of beer and a (locked) liquor cabinet, too...
What I never could understand is why so many anti-abortion folks are also anti-welfare. How do they propose that all of these unwanted children eat? Taking the welfare-to-work stance (working 70 hours a week at a minimum-wage job and still not being able to pay the bills), or the Libertarian stance (make the church/your extended family feed you), kids still need to eat.
OSX's mail.app has a 'Bounce to Sender' feature that I love, except it bounces as the username on the account, not the address the mail was addressed to. Other than that, it's lovely:)
My earliest, clearest memory was it being very dark, inside my parents room, throwing up on the corner of their bed, because I swallowed one of my Dad's big rings and started to choke. I'm guessing I was around 2, because kids stop putting random stuff in their mouths by then, right? It's kind of a funny memory, because all I can remember is the actual vomiting part, nothing before (like the swallowing) or afterward (them waking up to a lovely surprise)
I worked the day before yesterday, yesterday, I'm at work right now, and I'm working tomorrow, and the day after that...some vacation! Of course, everyone could give me a mini-vacation and quit calling:-D
I share a TiVo with my documentary/tech loving boyfriend, and I watch nothing but cartoons. Imagine my surprise when the TiVo records the Hitler channel and old Ren and Stimpy episodes non-stop.;) My Amazon recommendations (based on my wishlist) are right on the mark: It thinks I'm a pothead conspiricy-theorist Japanese/education major. How...appropriate.
Sure, we may not go from Ballard to Alki, but I used to go from Ballard to downtown, and people go from West Seattle to downtown. Not to mention, nothing big was ever built in a day, that's why there is more proposed than the Green Line, eventually serving the whole city. If I had to go across the lake everyday, I would move back over there. (When I worked in Redmond, I lived in Kirkland) The 520 is a joke, but this is a plan for Seattle, not the 'burbs.
As for Seattle drivers == dead latte-wielding yakking grannies, 100% true. That's why I take the bus (16 minutes from 120th to Westlake mall) now.
The police in downtown DO ticket for jaywalking. Here in Belltown, instead of shaking down crack-heads, they hand out tickets for darting across the street (doesn't matter if it's at an intersection or not), even if there's no traffic for miles.
This is slightly OT, but I'm about to buy a Sidekick, because I need wireless internet. Does anyone have experiences with these? From reading the previous comments, T-Mobile's customer service sounds like it sucks, so I'm afraid now...
"Come here, get out of line, you've got to see this man. No, get out of line, it's worth it. Over by the cotton candy. Don't look, don't look, don't look...Oh, God! It's a woman! Oh, and she's got kids! Somebody slept with that WOMAN!!! Oh no! It's Aunt (Laura)!!
Because they underprice the hardware, expecting to make back the money on games. When you buy the cheap hardware and make it into a (for example) toaster/linuxbox, never playing any games, they lose money. They want to trap you in to using it as a game machine only, buying the overpriced games to compensate for their losses on the hardware.
Uh, I've never heard of anything like that, and I've worked at a few different call centers in the state of WA, serving the state of WA (and outside). Are you saying it only applies to call centers outside of the state that serve the state? Can you find the RCW or WAC #? If that's true, my employers should have a large lawsuit on their hands...

The state where you can't even pump your own gas!
It's a lie, there are none.
Ay! What about me??

Salon.com did a story on it back in 2000.

Lake City? I thought Deja Vu was up in Shoreline, technically...the only thing Lake City has going for us is Rick's ;)

Yep, I can vouch that this is an effective technique, especially with huge ranges of 800 # pagers...

I dig both ;) My boyfriend is a CCNA, and I love it. There's nothing better than quizzing obscure Cisco router commands for a goood night.

This was quite a shocker for me...
We're forced to have a landline at our new location, because of the TiVo. Does anyone know a way to get around that?
