    Seriously!

    Waht?
  2. What the effing crap, that angel guy just felt me up... bahaha
  3. Oh, so THAT'S why they keep taking off my clothes. I THOUGHT that was a little weird. :pickaxe:
  4. These are awesome posts. I really like them.
  5. Seems fine so far - I'm running RC1 64bit on vmware workstation, gave it a gig of ram and it seems quite snappy. I've got some basic apps running and no errors or issues anywhere. It's working fine with my touchpad (dell latitude laptop), put thunderbird ff and avast on. Tomorrow I try to break it.
  6. Pictures of this remodeled bathroom OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I spent a lot of time doing this stuff in my thirties. Now I just want to call somebody and arrange to have my needs satisfied and my desires met.
  7. Apple would be held underwater and drowned if they opened up OS X to a platform-independent public. The driver support for mainboards and devices would be horrendous. Their reputation would drop like a rock. And it would become a target for every piece of gray/spyware that was previously targeted for Windows boxes. Their pricing structure would have to be completely revamped, without control of the hardware they lose a significant revenue stream. At which point software would be competitive to develop, all the crap developers currently writing mediocre software for Windows would start developing their bleh for the Mac. Which would be bad. Apple isn't a golden boy by any stretch. They're sharks about competition, have terrible service, and want to control every aspect of their market. Not just their place in the market, their market. And I'm downloading Windows 7 now, we'll see how it all turns out...
  8. The purser has a problem? Carmody took some dough. /guess
  9. Maybe she and Bruno have a little 'hookup' up there...
  10. Ya know, I've not been around here long, but I sure see a lot of drama and "politicking"on this site. I think its because it has a younger demographic. But what I think is irrelevant. What I really want to say is that drama and politicking are fine, whatever floats your boat. But why do it when there's no make up sex?
  11. I remember watching it on TV and thinking (at 11 years old) that I was seeing history being made. It was the first time I ever really felt that way.
  12. Before my dad died last year - he knew his time was short - I'd take him a large, double malt french vanilla chocolate malt from Marble Slab. The things weighed like 2 pounds. He LOVED em. They were the highlight of his week. I have no idea what the calorie count in those were. And yeah, I'd have one once in a while. Then I'd race him for the insulin (I'd let him win). I'm not sure he's a good example for "clean living", though, being dead and all.
  13. Hey, nobody has to DIE, except for Bruno, on flight 93. Bruno got himself mixed up in some shady middle easterners who invited him along for the ride Okay, I'll quit rewriting your history now.
  14. Go for broke: JP and Stefan are in Washington. JP is speaking at the Pentagon about his experiences during the Russian revolution. Some of the younger crew are meeting in New York for a party or shopping. They visit the WTC. Some of those younger crew are coming in via flight 93. Chaos ensues.
  15. I hate Word but use it anyway. It's like eating at Subway. Mediocrity is the default state of affairs.
  16. Only with 90% less fail whale!
  17. A really good conversation with my Mom, she's getting some good things coming her way (finally!) which makes me happy. I am done working until Monday. And I have accomplished things rather than let them sit while I'm off, which is great.

    Revenge

    I would only take revenge on someone if they hurt a member of my family. And even then, it would be pretty mild, because I'm pretty much a pansy about these things. Or would it? Or am I? And I also would exploit a weakness. It's the right thing to do. :2hands: (but generally speaking, I'm a big believer that anyone that deserves revenge eventually gets it and I usually don't have to do anything at all)
  19. - Created a new marketing brochure for my company and impressed myself - Got paid by some customers, paving the way for a long weekend - Watched my niece do a bit with her dance class - she loves to dance
  20. It's appropriate when you want to imply continuity, according to dictionary.com anyway.
  21. Wow, that's depressing and a real shame. What happened to the private forum idea?
  22. Quick ideas off the top of my head: - Skype coould be used for collaborating with multiple hosts - Interview an author about their stories/ideas/writing - Have an author read some of their work - GA team could talk about the site itself and goals for it - I'd love to hear from behind the scenes folks like editors and the other teams - Newsletter team could talk about what they're up to - Get a phone number somewhere and have listeners/members "call in" questions for hosts - Pick some topics in the forum and riff on them - Goat sightings Nothing really creative here, just stuff I've seen on other podcasts.
  23. I can't recommend one of these strongly enough. Any Buick will sh*t its pants to clear passage for you.
  24. I have questions! Is this logical drive a boot drive for one of the OS's? If it's not a boot drive, do you have applications installed on it that are seen between the two OS's - in other words, is the drive letter critical to both sides of the dual boot? What is the status of the drive in Disk Management? Is it showing as "foreign media" or as unformatted, or simply not there? Courses of action I'd consider: Before you go any further, please verify that the backups on the external drive are really there, and that the dates are current, and that the backup software can open and look inside the actual backups (act like you're going to restore, just don't click the final OK). If anything looks hinky, back up the drive again from the partition that can see the missing data. If the drive is showing as "foreign media" or "unknown", right click it and see if the option to "import foreign media" is available. If it is, do so and see if that rebuilds the drive data in that partition. The health of this drive is very questionable at this point, I would not bother restoring data to the partition. I'd seriously consider replacing the entire drive. Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost can be used to image the partitions to another drive. It's likely Ghost could do all the partitions, recovering the "missing" data as it goes. I'll dig around a bit for antivirus software, my "default" free AV is AVG. I'm a little WTF about the AVG on the Win2k. You can PM me or email if you want. I'm happy to help.
