Coincidentally, the State of IL just got done announcing they were effectively doubling the cash AND IPASS prices for their tollways. Guess they have to pay for Quinn's political favors to the transponder vendor somehow.

I'm going to be pissed when I'm doing something important for work on my phone, when it's suddenly hijacked for 45 seconds while a shrill tone plays, then tells me it was only a test.

Wow, they do their own network reporting? Perhaps SMTP?

You forgot to insert the part about "UNMARRIED men... get laid." The rest of us poor schmucks thought we were getting a good deal when we bought the cow.

Notice the VMWare tool icon in the systray -- No way someone would do that w/o being able to do a snapshot rollback ;)

Ever had your cell phone sitting next to your PC, and you know 20 seconds before it rings that it's about to do so because your speakers start going nuts? Now, imagine you're landing in IFR conditions and a phone rings... Bad ju ju COULD happen...

Thanks for the opinion... You may now go back to viewing American Idol and Jersey Shore.

However, if he were to disappear, there's not a whole lot of finger pointing at anyone - After all, he may be in hiding...

Yep-- I laugh when people sit back and say racing isn't a sport, doesn't take any physical strength, etc... I have a brother-in-law that races in the "below ARCA" asphalt circuits. It's basically amateur racing with a decent car... He spends 3 days in the gym a week just for keeping his upper body in shape for handling the g-forces.

Correction: "The death penalty doesn't work ". If we actually convicted people, took them out behind the courthouse, and hung them right away, it would work much better than 50 years of appeals...

Bah, wasn't logged in...

Ahh yes.. Telewriter-64! Remember that one?

Umm, genius, there are these things in laptops called fans... If you force air out of one orifice, physics dictate that you must have an intake, or else you have a perfect vacuum that would eventually crush the entire laptop.

So, given we can't violate physics, small particles of ash will eventually get sucked in where they get stuck.
