See? This guy I like. I have fantastic bandwidth. I also have homeless people, crime, and sirens going off at all hours of the day and night. As the parent said I've made my own choice and I'm happy with it. People who bitch about things like this have only themselves to blame.

That sucks -sorry to hear it :( - I work chat support right now, and you just reminded me why it is a good medium for some folks.

Mod up, and good luck to you!

and while we're at it, how is this possibly an ask slashdot article? Must have been a slow submission week...

Thank you for the RL chuckle...I needed that about now :)

That's what she said!

*ducks at incoming Karma hit, but I couldn't let this one slide*

Hehe - normally I'd agree, but Pepco did all right last night as far as am concerned. I flickered for about 2 seconds last night, but I'm in the downtown Capitol Wastelands - I don't know what grid I'm on but it seems to be a good one. Oh - and yay for personal UPSes! They did what they should have done.

Mother of God - did the Anarchist movement have a power breakfast meeting this morning? You guys sure are up early...

Come on now, really? I'm a card carrying member of the EFF (truly) but that's a little much. That's like saying "let's plant some dope in his car and then call the cops because we don't like him!"

Activisim is one thing, setting someone up for legal issues is another, in my book.

I'll join my AC comrade in cursing you for that memory :P - man what a horrid, horrid thing that was.

I can't wait until all support for XP ends. Working with it is a daily nightmare for me.

Quark scared her? My sainted Mother, God rest her soul, died at the ripe old age of 76 and could quote no less than seven Rules of Acquisition. She was also a pretty successful merchant - go figure LOL.

I always regret that she passed right before J.J. came out - that would have really baked her noodle.

Starting with J.J is cool visually, but when they enjoy it, its hard to explain "well glad you liked it, but that's not the way things happened over the last 45 or so years", then toss them into the rest of the ST universe. J.J. is for someone who you have to have sit through a sci-fi flick, not for someone who you are introducing to the franchise itself.

That's what she said - exactly the order and preferences I would have picked!
