"You know what I'm going do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertable - hot pink with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather interior and big brown baby seal eyes for the headlights. I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115mph, getting one mile per gallon, sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned nonbiodegradable containers. When I'm done suckin' down those greaseball burgers, I'm gonna toss the Styrofoam container right out the side and there ain't a goddamned thing anybody can do about it. "
When I was running a bench at a local shop, we would NEVER tell a customer that we fried their machine. If one of my techs zapped a video card, memory, CPU etc, it was just quietly replaced.
Once one of the guys blew a K6 CPU. Only thing avail was a K62 and BIOS flash, I signed off on that and had the tech bill an extra half hour.

Funny you should mention these features on a Focus.
I had to specifically order one without these featues because the dealers don't get them this way. Anti-lock brakes, TC and automatic transmission are three features that I HATE on cars. I never once lost control of that car in any kind of weather. Only car I ever owned that I didn't crash. The "safety" features change the way an otherwise normal car drives. I don't need to be remembering NOT to pump brakes if a crash is imenint. If my car starts to slide, I know exactally what's going to happen in a car w/o TC. Don't even get me started on automatic tranny, completely undriveable.
Lucas "unofficially" allows the fan-films to happen. Also, the proceeds for the gala premiere, posters, CDs and autographs were going to a charity. How could Lucas put a stop to the night without looking like a heartless bastard?
I had the oppertunity to go to the premiere in Baltimore, MD on Saturday night. While I was there, I got to meet several of the actors in the flick as well as the producer. They also had Darth Vader and the 501st Div and R2-D2.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but there were more people there in black-tie than in costume. The whole event was well done and a great time. Thanks PanicStruck.
I seem to vaguely remember that some of the IBM Aptivas included animated icons on your desktop. I have no idea what format they were or how they worked. Anyone have any input on this?
Agreed. I do this all the time so that I can use my wife's songs on my Creative Zen. Sounds fine in the car or on headphones. At home we just use her iPod.
Also, when using CDex, 9 times out of 10, the CDDB correctly identifies the disc, tracks, artist, etc with full albums purchased off iTunes.
I was out to dinner with my wife. I almost always have my phone on vibrate and did this night. Well the phone "rang" and I excused myself to go take the call in the bar area. The guy at the table wandered in a minute or two later to have a smoke (you can't smoke in the restaraunt proper in my area, only the bar). When I had finished up my call, the guy actualy came over and thanked me for leaving the restaraunt area to take the call.

I'm not sure the poster meant this to be funny.
Servers use multiple NICs to increase bandwidth. Why shouldn't a wireless user do the same?

Yes they do. The Business Software Alliance does "raids" on US companies. their website is http://www.bsa.org/
Just make the Big Blue E shortcut point to Firefox. I'll bet he doesn't even notice.
Wouldn't the Death Star be mostly hollow?

Who cares?

The "official" reason that Jedi was changed from "Revenge" to "Return" was that revenge was a trait that was not suited to the Jedi code.

If you're getting a refund, you should file as early as possible. There's no sense letting the govt use your money any longer than neccessary.
If you owe money, you should file as LATE as possible. There's no reason NOT to use the govt's money as long as you are able.
I didn't see anything that implied that the trailer would be part of the show. Won't it just be a commercial? Or did I miss something?

Open Office does not have a PIM in it last I used it (ver 1.1). Does it now?
Koalas didn't teleport, they rode in the kangaroo's pouch.
Hang pictures in a straight line or do tile work on the wall or floor.
ROTJ was renamed because Lucas & Co felt that a Jedi seeking revenge undermined the idea that the Jedi were the good guys.
For the Sith to seek revenge follows Sith ideals perfectly.
Good God!
