I totally agree with this.

The computer shop I work at has been grab-and-run shop lifted once. Just once. Between the fact that my boss chased the guy in his truck until the police managed to catch up and the fact that we go around wearing "fishing vests" all the time has kept things pretty smooth here even though we are not in the best neighborhood.

I think the poor running shop thief told his buddies.

This is my all-time favorite driving method on a nice day in my 1978 Ford non-air-bag-equiped pickup. It has far more imortant accessories than a silly airbag...like a CD player.

This is by far the only video I've watched online all week that was truly worth watching. Thanks for the link!

Did anyone else see this headline and go "What? What would Ozzie Osborne know about it?"

I couldn't agree more. I wish I had some mod points for you.

Is that you over there across the street from me?

I have the same problem in the area in which I live. We do have a local radio based ISP here (they are calling with wireless DSL, though I don't know anything about the underlying tech or protocols). They're just a couple of guys who run the company out of a local office so I'd say they would be a good censorship circumvention point but I happen to know that their upstream providers are the cable and DSL companies that I have direct access to.

A quick google search led me to several sites that say Mono now includes a Visual Basic compiler. I haven't verified this myself.

This is great until you get a crappy "locking" one that doesn't want to unlock no matter how hard you squeeze and you nearly break the connector off trying to disconnect it. If you work in a PC shop long enough you'll run into plenty of them.

Not long ago I moved all my stuff from GoDaddy just because of how sleezy they'd gotten. Sleezy as in "check out our internet only ads that are too 'hot' for tv" being plastered all over their home page, etc. That plus the fact that you couldn't navigate their account/hosting controls even if you had a tour guide. I eventually decided on HostGator due to price per options, and I've been happy. You might give them a look. Their support people were always able to intelligently answer any technical questions as well (e.g., Why are you still stuck on Rails 2?). YMMV. Just my 2 cents worth.

I think it's the lack of a space (or two spaces if you want to be really correct) between the word "He" and the preceding period.

It's a ship returning from Davy Jone's locker!

Good summation. Why oh why do I never have mod points when I really need them!? Maybe it's because I don't post much. ;)

They dry rot especially if you don't use it. By running the generator fuel/oil (depending on which gasket) are splashed/pushed onto the gasket, moisturizing it and prolonging it's life. Crank it up every now and again and be sure to use fuel stabilizer if you don't drain the gas tank; otherwise the gas turns sort of green and rotten.

The direct parent I'm replying to was my comment. Didn't notice I was AC.

Amen!
