It's a sad world we live in when I have to bother with troll posts.

Yes, and they don't use nice lube either, they use gravel.

No making snarky wise-ass comments makes you a twat. Posting it as an AC makes you pathetic.

To piss you off, now shut up.

You mean the one the launches the first time you load IE and it asks what you want your search provider to be along with a few other things to customize? Then displays a list and even sets the one you choose as default? If you're confused by that you should probably return your computer and go back to a typewriter.

Uhh... "Bing Bar" doesn't come with Windows 7, not preinstalled at least. Unless you have some crap OEM putting it there for you.

Ok, maybe not immediately, but after about 2 years, he definitely would be able to. The lender will see someone with no debt, an income and after that couple years, a fair credit score. They'll throw money at him like beads at mardi gras. That's how broken the credit system is here. Definitely not the 7 that it stays on your credit report.

Don't forget to mention that a vast majority of the trees had yet to lose their leaves. This compounded the issue by allowing the snow to collect even more heavily on the branches. In Connecticut at least there are five times more trees down than there were for hurricane Irene.

So, yes, New England gets snow, it doesn't surprise us, even when it's a month earlier than usual. What doesn't usually happen is that the trees didn't bother dropping their leaves in time to save themselves. :)

The third correction is justified, the first two were correct as written by the OP.

And by "not actually true at all" you mean "I'm talking out of my ass."

Yea and if they did that, everyone on here would have a stroke that they were collecting data from their phone. Really wouldn't matter if they asked first or not.
