Back on '01, I bought something from an online vendor. This was an account that had never been used before. Within an hour, I had gotten spam there. I complained, and got an apology.
However, three hours later, four of my other accounts (two of which were also unused) got identical spam, suggesting to me that it was a dictionary.
My first order -- from a brand new email account. Got spam on it an hour later. I wrote to them to complain; they apologized and sent me stuff. Turned out to be from a dictionary attack. I wrote them back to apologize.
One DOA (DVD-RW drive). RMA was no problem. Came the next day.
One moderately expensive rackmount kb/lcd. Vendor shipped the wrong cables -- not Newegg's fault. Newegg sent me the correct cables at their expense. No muss, no fuss.
How does a "hole" differ from a positron? In fact, that was Dirac's initial model for a positron -- a hole in a sea of negative energy level electrons.

Feynman played bongo drums in a Samba (dance kind, not the file system kind) troupe, and hung around strip clubs.
It's a series of tubes.

Which version of Office? 97, 2000, XP, 2003, or 2007? I hope you have room for all 5 on your machine, since they all render differently.
And apparently XINU Is Not Unix, either.
But "The TTP Project" is, of course, the best.

My argument was based on experience.

Could be a dictionary attack.
Their customer service rocks.

You forgot Newegg.
Ha! I still have my floppies with Windows 1.03 on them! 5 360K's with another 360k for Windows Write.

The Visor was Handspring. The original Palm was the US Robotics Palm Pilot.
At the risk of replying to myself, I believe that story was first related in Whitfield's "The Making of Star Trek".
Almost right. The revised version of 3 pages of technobabble became "Reverse Course!", not "Turn around!'
Also, just because someone hasn't had an accident in the past, it doesn't mean they won't have an accident in the future.
Or, as the financial types like to say... Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
I'm deadly serious. And don't call me Shirley.
How can it be neat, if you're going to put ice into it?

Thank you.

Just to be pedantic, it would have been damned difficult to indict Kennedy after his term, since he was dead.
Not to mention "Anacreon in Heaven" and "The Star Spangled Banner".
