Just yes...

Just.. no..

On a 1999 Jeep. Cruise got stuck, nothing would clear it. Once I got it stopped, I clipped the cruise control throttle cable under the hood.
Scary stuff.

Works pretty well.

..with that..

Start looking for another job..

You're 10 years+ out of touch with the series. The gate is one way for the place that opens it. So if someone on a planet dialed the ship and pushed air at the gate - yeah. Not the other way around. Electromagnetic radiation flows in both directions.

.. no "in soviet russia" jokes?

This is what they get for suing TomTom. What goes around..

I teach Linux at a local college. I usually have my rant of the week, usually something stupid that microsoft has done. Songsmith was front and center up on my projector. They barely made it past the 2 minute mark of the 4 minute ad. It was.. painful to watch, yet funny to inflict on others.

So does:
Telephones
Radios
2 cans and string
Smoke signals
Hand gestures
Grunting
Any communication of any type..

The first step to fix any microsoft problem - reboot.
