    Better than your profanity ladder diatribe. On the plus side, it is an easy way to filter you from the grown ups.

    It's attempted murder, and both parties can be charged, if one party wasn't an agent. It doesn't matter if the person was harmed or not.

    TomatoUSB is another option. I prefer it over DD-WRT personally, but they are both good options.

    It's up right now serving a page. That is what makes it bs. Send them an email and i bet it doesn't come back undeliveralable.

    Most likely, the money had already been spent as some service arangement which is why the sit doesn't bounce an error .

    Send them an email and, except for an automated one, don't expect a reply.

    Unless it's absolulty free to run, including electricity and manpower, it has to be shut down. Under the

    Or some people just like their stuff, marketing or not. I like the build of the notebooks. Why? Strong hinges, metal body, solid keyboard. It doesn't take a marketing department to convince me, just a few mins with the device.

    No his point is that you can't use a 1st gen iphone charger with a iphone 4, which you can. The only chargeing mechanism that changed was from Firewire to USB, and that happened 3 or 4 years for the iphone came out.

    The talked about iOS 7 for 5 minutes because they devoted an entire talk about it at WWDC, no need to re-hash.

    There is a lot more to the update than 64bit and aesthetic changes, but feel free to ignore all of it. You will anyway.
