  1. Nope. If you stop paying attention, he might just go away!
  2. My wife has one of the Asus. It's alright, thought it has an issue where it won't come out of standby if the battery is really low. Not terribly fast, but a $20 RAM upgrade (to 2GB) helped. I have a Lenovo at work which seems very nicely built, but haven't used it enough to form a solid opinion. I wouldn't get one for as a main computer since the screen resolution is too small, but they're good to have as an ultra-portable traveling/sitting on the couch option. I think Costco has the Acers on display, and you might be able to try Dell's offerings if they still have one of those mall kiosks near you.
  3. Isn't that just a matter of opinion though? Personally, I've always felt that MacOS is barely a step above Solaris in terms of ease of use. Its all about familiarity, I suppose. I don't get it either. You have a phone, they have a phone...why not just make a phone call? Texting might be the most inefficient form of communication I've ever used. If your phone has a normal keyboard, I could see it being handy though, particularly if you don't need an immediate response.
  4. That isn't so bad. I haven't figured it out either.
  5. If you did get delivery confirmation, and the post office screws up, you're clear. I'm pretty sure you only need proof that you sent it, it's out of your hands after that. Had something like that happen to me once, sold an item to someone in Canada, and didn't get delivery confirmation. He claimed that he didn't receive it, filed a dispute, and I had to give him his money back ($100, which was a huge amount of money for me at the time). Two days later, he emails me and said he got it, apparently it had been stuck in customs for a month. I asked if he can send the money back...he said he would, but I never heard anything from him since.
  6. Don't forget about his performance in The Naked Gun. He did get Reggie Jackson to (try to) assassinate the queen!
  7. I don't care as much about the roids as I care about the inflated stats in general. I'm not saying that that inflated stats are bad or anything, and are a lot of contributing factors - roids, juiced balls, expansion, Wayne Franklin, etc. Is hitting 500 dingers really that impressive these days? Personally, I think that McGwire is a HOFer - not so much for his career totals, but because he was so dominant for a reasonable period of time. As such, I'd tend vote for an Albert Belle before someone like Palmeiro or Sosa, but that just takes us back to the Hall of Fame vs Hall of Very Good debate.
  8. Several years ago, I heard an NHL announcer comment that Jarome Iginla was also the Calgary Flames' Marketing Director. Maybe the Brewers can save some money and let Cameron handle that position too.
  9. If its a one-year lease, I probably wouldn't even take it to be honest. I don't need to buy more car insurance.
  10. I support the "find generic power pitcher on the scrap heap, let him get some saves, trade him before he flames out, repeat as needed" option.
  11. I'll bet Mike Maddux wishes he would have stayed now.
  12. I think this is the first time I've ever actually wanted to buy a Wii.
  13. We found it at an antique store in Madison. Had no idea so many of these got out - I figured a clever Brewer fan at the pennant factory just ganked one before the rest were destroyed.
  14. Once I traced my family back to Duncan I of Scotland (of Macbeth fame). Then I realised that I picked the wrong person with the same name along the way. I am not actually related to any Shakespeare characters that I'm aware of.
  15. http://www.colinbaker.org/files/DSC_0553.jpg Also got a fairly complete darkroom setup, and a Buffalo Bills Super Bowl ring.
  16. I didn't get a ring, and my wife probably would have made me return it if I did. She would have shot me if I spent over $1000.
  17. Does your phone have a memory card? I've put tons of SD cards through the wash, and all of them have worked fine after.
  18. I think they get you in with things that look like good deals (like an $8 pair of pants or a coat), but then make their money back when you buy a bunch generic t-shirts for $8. Also, sweatshops.
  19. Similarly, I would like to know where I can get a custom 90s Motre Bame-style jersey with Hammerin' Bob Hamelin's name on it.
  20. I get really excited every year when they begin putting eggnog on the shelves, but then get sick of it in about 2 weeks.
  21. Only if he can be Jorge Coolio when he's pitching well.
  22. Bogut probably wasn't ready to go last night, but it's refreshing to see someone actually play when listed as day-to-day. When they said he was 50/50 for last night, I assumed that he'd be out for another 2 weeks at least. Count me in as one who was confused by Gadz over ???? ???????. I had assumed that, when faced with choosing between fairly equal players, its generally better to go with the younger choice.
  23. Oooh, nice idea. I'd probably do something like this if one of those phones had a decent SIP client...I'll have to look into that. I have a 802.11 phone that connects to my VOIP system at home, but this would be quite a bit better since it wouldn't require a nearby open wireless connection.
  24. Exactly what I was going to say. 5 or 6 is plenty unless you're planning on making 20"x30" prints.
  25. What Peavey said. If the URL of the page you are on has "https://" in it, then the password you are transmitting is encrypted. Otherwise, it is sent to the web server in plain text, and someone along the way could possible see it if they felt like it.
