it goes to 11.
Yes, I joke there. I do find it fascinating how stuff keeps getting pushed to the limits, and then we say "bah, we can do better!"

I never registered for either party because neither one really truly espouses my beliefs. Nor do I trust either party. And I find all campaign "promises" to be lies, for the most part. The only downside is that in my state I can't vote in primaries. And considering that when I talk to my mom she will end of bitching about all the crap mail and tons of phone calls they get because my dad is so stupidly conservative he sends money to anyone Limbaugh tells him to, there's no way I'm ever getting involved in any way with any political party. Until there is a monkey party- that I will spend a few bananas on (see my sig).

Yeah, you're new here.

They'll mess it up royally. And no, I'm not being racist or patriotic or any other thing you'll throw at me. And I'm not hoping anyone dies or anything like that. It's that China wants to make a big push into space for some reason. The US and the Soviet Union did that back in the 60s, and a whole lot of bad stuff happened to both countries. Why? Because we were in "The Space Race." Even Cracked.com did an article on the Soviet's hushed up failures. So let someone else test out the technology before we even try it.

I'm not really up with the current BS IP/copyright/etc laws, but if the porno guy came at you with what is basically a BS claim, wouldn't counter-suing him be a good option? May need to take out a loan, but since the article says it's established law that an IP address isn't enough for a suit, wouldn't that be something like a frivolous suit?

Please correct me if I'm incorrect.

1) I need to hold a phone to my ear while trying to do the stuff the support guy tells me to do.
2) Occasional (or frequent, depending on company) hard to understand accents.
3) I don't have the greatest of hearing to begin with.
4) The support person sometimes/oftentimes can't understand me (yes, could be my fault)
5) Typing leaves nothing to guess at, as opposed to trying to understand some garbled words.
6) If the person is leaving parts out of your question, just ask for clarification.
7) Relax. Don't give yourself a stroke.

I think I did the random number thing about 30 years ago when playing Dungeons and Dragons with dice.

I'm offended and I've arrested myself!

First we (US media, etc.) say that we are falling behind other countries in education, then we turn around and say it's too hard, then we do No Child Left Behind, then we try to raise test scores by various means, and now we question if any learning if necessary.

Shouldn't the emphasis always be on raising standards?

I may have to incorporate that into my sig.

Good thing I don't do bad things.

To the coming of the MacTwits.
