So that sounds like one heck of a fest I missed... guess I will just have to crash the next party so I can drink the food and eat the booze, oh wait ...

I must send my regrets as I will not be able to make it after all. Danlo, you can take my name off the list. Something about too many plates in the air. I had planned to drive in (2 days each way), get there Friday afternoon and stay a few extra days past the 'Fest to visit Taos and Santa Fe, but tu...

You gonna give that machine away, you should probably sanitize the disk first if you used the machine for any online banking, purchasing and/or tax returns, etc. You'd be surprised how much good stuff like passwords, SSN's, account data and the like can be filched off of disks even if you think you ...

I love Powell's. Great that it's still there as it's been awhile since I was last up there.

Most interesting... just drove through NM last month and am intrigued by the idea of spending more time looking around. So put me down as a "maybe". I don't need to book a flight, it will be 2 days drive there and back, no biggie. I'll reserve at the La Quinta as I have points with them. S...

You TB fans shouldn't feel bad... try living in LA, the former home of the carpetbagging teams I will not name.

I know they say purple, but the Laker road unis haven't be truly purple in a long time. Sure, officially it's purple, but I think they're blue.

Guess there aren't any b-ball fans here, OK, but I'm going to celebrate anyway: We are the CHAMPIONS! Orlando were valiant, they were competitive, but they did not have the composure and the experience that the Lakers did and that was the difference this year. It could be said that Orlando choked aw...

Back when BluRay won out, their player prices went up by at least $100 each. Classic gouging, that. Nice... So I said screw that and bought myself a very nice upscaling DVD player by Oppo. I bought that model because it had good reviews and there was a hack available to make it region-free, in other...

wristwatch - yes landline - yes, but only for the DSL; it's more reliable than cable around here. I don't know the number associated with it. VCR - player gone, but I still have a few cassettes laying around the house music cassettes - time to dump those film cameras - i still have mine but the batt...

A Command Prompt I believe is your terminal or command consol..its an application or window that lets you enter command lines that will allow you to create a script or perform actions that some applications perform,also it allows you to modify your system actions in some cases... if you dont know w...

As someone who has maintained DNS at a known telecom company, I can tell you that it's very picky with regard to syntax. A big problem here is that the original zone files have a certain syntax with its own quirks while the configuration files that came with later versions have a totally different s...

Have not paid attention to this forum in awhile. My $.02. Get your HDMI cables from monoprice.com. Cheaper than Wal-Mart. Far cheaper than anything in Best Buy or other retail. My setup is a Samsung 61 inch LED DLP that I bought over a year ago. Beautiful picture. Excellent for sports, I catch my La...

TN has a long way to go.

UCLA 27, TN 24 (OT)

What really hurts is that this UCLA team was not expected to win more than 4 games this year.

Cars that my dad had that I drove: 1957 Chrysler New Yorker convertible 1963 Oldsmobile station wagon 1967 Oldsmobile 88 (with the police package) 1970 TransAm 1973 Buick Estate Wagon (the most souped up wagon ever!) 1974 TransAm Cars that I owned: 1957 Chrysler New Yorker hardtop (great cruising ca...

Is the firm known as Dewey, Cheatham & Howe?

Not binding on non-christians. (Or non-jews I guess, since it's the old testament.) Although I'm sure most religions have some similar concept...somebody was talking about reciprocity somewhere...not sure if it was this thread though. Anyway...even god doesn't tell you that you have to. Just that i...

Random remarks: Some are more equal than others... Through all the reviling Hitler gets regarding fascism, nationalism, etc., it's easy to forget the 2nd word in his party's name was "Socialist". Which it was very much so. And Mao doesn't get any mention here, yet it is known that many mil...

Just read the thread so I'll come out from under my rock and offer my $.02: There's a historical context to the problem of aging parents which has, thanks to things like Social Security, pensions, 401k's, savings, real estate ownership among the masses, morphed into today's environment. In America, ...

First of all I would like to thank you all for the..."helpful" advice. To all the people that actually care about my situation, I have some good news. She does still like me, she was just having some personal problems that I don't really want to talk about here. I still have a lot of work...
