Come to Louisiana... its REFUNDABLE 50% here!

Amazing thing is I find it useful without those things.

I use it for :

an e-reader
game playing
surf the web
operate my home theater and many other home automation stuff
invoice clients when out and about (I send em a PDF invoice via email as a recpt for payment)
email
and a few other things.

I have to breakout the laptop when programming, a need to download a utility or driver update for a client, or I want to compose a long document I could do better with typing on a physical keyboard... and few other things.

I LOVE the long battery life

Tell that to Mr Snipes.

Whaaaaaaaaat?

HAHA Stone Mountain. Have you checked that out thoroughly? What a joke. Maybe not though, but they sure have developed a shady reputation, and construction is at a standstill.

Wow then you may be doing something wrong... planned replacements is where I spend my money (the bulk of it) and it provides less of a business interruption to replace things in a planned fashion than in a reactive fashion.

Yeah, I am a conservative, but I am not such a fan of her... rather embarrassed by her. The Republicans need to voice solutions and not just picking apart what we have now or the plans of the opposition. Then the people can get behind them.

Sure, your ticket is printed on this lead thing stored in the chamber of this .357... you have to suck the barrel to get it out.

Shit... they arent now! And our current government is the result.

Yes but it provides the opportunity... the opportunity I say... to get a basic foundational education that can lead to a happy productive adult life. The fact that it keeps the kids at school so we can go to work is a bonus. BTW my wife is an at home mom so she really gets a kick out of that stuff.

That was pretty much my take on my mechanical engineering degree... it taught me how to learn and tackle stuff I didnt know by going to the book. I am now an IT administrator, own my own business doing so, and have essentially gutted and rebuilt my home by myself... learning all the trades along the way. Learn how to learn and your prospects are WIDE OPEN.

I do crap for client that is totally unrelated to IT, because they see I learn a subject, and can manage my time and a project, and they find that valuable and so pay me oodles to be able to hand a project to me and know that I will "own" the project until its completed correctly.

Learn how to learn, and dont be afraid to say "I dont know but I can find out".

I know a guy who is a P.E. in mechanical engineering without a degree. He put in the time in his job and rose up through the ranks through work, and took the test. The requirements are a degree or equivalent experience. By 38 he had a P.E. and was pulling down the dollars just like everyone else. This was in the nuclear industry.

A house key (I spent the $100 to get all my doors keyed alike), a car key, and my wifes car key. All other keys I keep on hooks in a wall box at the house. I do have a ring of keys I might need on the road in my car (clients offices, parents houses, safe deposit box etc). It simplifies things greatly. I just added a kay to my daughters truck, but think I am going to put it in the box too.

How funny is it that the time in the video was changing to 4:20? haha, marketing to the stoners

Wow, and yet no one had done so and delivered it to market?

Tivo in 1999 was a miracle device, much like the VCR in its first generation.

My how memories are short.
