uh, where are you that it's $400? Did you pay it late? I run a web hosting business out of my house (20 assorted computers, plus switches/routers..) and my PG&E bill hasn't been over $220 all year. Summer included.
This IS a Republican vendetta. This recall effort was going NOWHERE untill Issa coughed up nearly $2 million and hired signature gatherers.
..just like we did. Here is the story of the dickhead on eBay that scammed us and after my g/f left negative feedback, he tried to retaliate. Too bad he's a stupid moron and couldn't even get that right. Even more fun.. he's in a small town, and the police department has taken notice.
Some of us are bored enough to seriously fuck with anybody that rips us off, even if it's only $20.:P
"My primary experience with Linux in the home has been SuSE, and I know I'm going to find Gentoo painful to start up and might even go back to SuSE at this stage in the game."
Don't say that just yet. I was in the same boat but after following the directions and asking the friendly folks on the gentoo-user mailing list and forums.gentoo.org, I easily found everything I needed, and life is good.:)
If it's the Warehouse in Pleasant Hill, CA, I can confirm your statement.
Then again, I got LOTS of CDs there. 1)Befriend the manager 2)go to Rasputin's and buy a bunch of used, but Top 40 CDs 3)Go back to the Warehouse and exchange them for stuff you want.
I'd laugh, if only that wasn't close to home. See, I had a GREAT cache hidden near the Sacramento International Airport, and then that whole 9/11 thing happened and the Sacramento County Sheriff department started patrolling the area around the airport.
Imagine my surprise when cop cars & some guy in a black truck come rolling up on my ass all A-Team style when I pulled over and got out of my car to go check on the cache.
After my heart jumped up into my throat, I showed them the cache, and while they agreed that it was a really neat hiding place, it was not a good idea to continue the cache in that location.
Sad thing is that we used to go drinking in the exact same field years before. No longer. =/
I got drunk last night and passed out at the keyboard and came 'round *six hours later* - a lot longer than the 5 minutes needed for this "exploit" and I STILL couldn't get into my Mac OS X box.
Couldn't find any more beer, and I couldn't find my pants, either.. but that's another story.. grrr
Yeah, my 3 person organization! One of the 3 is only 9yrs old, but man, cartoonnetwork.com and nick.com *fly* with Mozilla.;)
Seriously, I encourage every organization that I work with to use Mozilla and to only use IE when necessary. People just don't know that there *are* alternatives!
Heh, no. I was stuck as a lowly contractor. Didn't get a permanent gig because my direct manager (the hiring manager) got laid off and my contract expired. Thanks to Microsoft, temps/contractors can really get screwed. I never got my foot back in the door. =/
Heh. When Speakable Items came back in Mac OS 9, I was working at Apple. I ran into a training lab and yelled "COMPUTER! SHUT DOWN!" from the back of the room several times and managed to utterly ruin a training session.
But boy, was that funny.;) It worked a LOT better than I had expected it to!
"Funny, they don't seem to always know where to deliver so-called first-class mail..."
No, not very funny. Rather clueless. Did you know that the USPS has domestic airlines carrying mail? I can't even count the times I've found stray (or lost) bags of mail in aircraft. One of my many job functions when I worked for a ground handling company was to make sure that mail for Anchorage actually got *on the right aircraft* and didn't wind up on a flight to Miami. We'd actually check behind the belly toolbox on that old nasty DC-8 looking for mail bags. Ever seen a 55' truck back up to a DC-6? Yes, folks. Bulk loading 33,000lbs of mail into a friggin DC-6 bound for northern Alaska.
Sure, mail gets lost sometimes, but it's not always the fault of the USPS.
Check this out. eBay has done nothing to this guy. He's been scamming people for months, all for small amounts, yet eBay doesn't do a damned thing because the amounts are all too small for them to worry about. I'm pissed off enough that I have an attorney friend looking into legal action against this little pissant.
Check this and this out! Takes up a good portion of the kitchen!:P
AND.. my girlfriend doesn't mind it at all. She hits up oldnavy.com three or four times a week and all is good. Oh, and having everything in the kitchen like that is great for when you need recipes.com one evening.:)

Heh. Uh, AOL has more than enough bandwidth to handle freekin *livejournal linkage*....
When I worked there (Netscape), we had 5 OC-48s in our building alone. OC-12s & DS-3 circuits for "redundancy."
I highly doubt that it has anything to do with bandwidth.
University of Colorado, isn't it?
Sadly, Chico State isn't on the list anymore. =/
Which college has the most bandwidth? The best female to male ratio?
C'mon, tell us the *important* stuff.
Holy cow, man.
;)
Get yourself a couple Pentium II systems. They'll keep the house warm.
I'm familar with that area, but I didn';t know things were *that* bad.. =/

Worked for me for years.
Just because it says "mod chip" in it?
that's bullshit. It shouldn't have to BE that way. Macrovision sucks, plain & simple.
People shouldn't have to hack their own hardware to play movies that they have purchased legally.
2 million jobs here in the US or 2 million less jobs they can just send to $CHEAP_FOREIGN_COUNTRY?
Which is it, telemarketing industry?
but then I saw this %$#@! article and I've spent 2 hours reading it. :/
I'm going to turn in claims for all of the actual Windows CDs I found lying around on the street and go buy a nice 6 pack of beer with the money.
:D
Yup, I can finally move up from Coors and get me a 6 pack of Mickey's!
Yeah, life is good...
With the money you save, you can apply it to your INSANE rent/house payment. :P
Tokyo is *EXPENSIVE* to live in.
I lived there until 1998. I would love to go back...

It's either that, or another 24 episodes of Spongebob Squarepants.
:P
Since TechTV has decided to suck these days, might as well watch Sci-Fi for a bit.
There is a food that has been proven to all but eliminate a woman's sex drive.
:D
It's called "wedding cake."
bah-dum..*ching*

Yeah, but it's a Mac OS X Server. :P~ So around this place, that should be acceptable. ;)
