    stupid hurts!

    Almost as stupid was trying to use WD-40 on the chain. If you really, really hate your o-rings and want to see the lubricant vanish before your eyes, it's the perfect thing to use. it's a SOLVENT people!
  2. I look forward to bailing you out when you take a second mortgage to buy that. Mmmm, the ripples taste like..... socialism.
  3. Ditto for the CBR, everyone knows Hondas are better than Yamahahahahaha's What's the cross street for the Bob Evans on Olentangy?
  4. Someone start a collection for Fonz and Sambusa, they'll put the learnin' on those sheep...
  5. Born and raised in North Ridgeville, OH. Lived in Bowling Green, OH for 2 years, then moved to Columbus. So far I've lived in Polaris, UA, off OSU Campus, Westerville, and now near Easton.
  6. You're got-damn right. A sad day indeed.
  7. You play hockey as well? You wouldn't happen to play in the C2 league?
  8. No kidding. If I still had 3K to throw around, I'd be on that as well.

  9. if you's are serious about the drive in, I might be willing to come up. My parents live right off Bagley in that Bob Schmidt development there, maybe they'll stop bustin my balls to head out there.
  10. Thread on the KatRiders forum here: http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=102355 He died on his ZX-14 hitting a guardrail. I've never met CyberPoet (Marc) personally before, but he was an absolute encyclopedia of information and wouldn't hesitate to help anyone out that he could. The world is a darker place without him.
  11. Radar looks clear too. We on!

  13. You like looking for moobs in the library? Dude, you probably need to get out on the bike more.
  14. Wait a damn minute, Stephen Hawking is asian? Since when?
  15. Everything is possibly related to everything. Seriously, how hard was that?
  16. I thought this thread would snag a Linux zealot.
  17. Geek comment aside (pet peeve) I'll chime in here. I need to break up hardware and operating system to properly explain both. Apple's are generally just as reliable hardware-wise as PC's. Expect any repair cost to be 1.5x that of PC's if you have to take it into the Apple Store. Just the way Apple rolls. Expect the total price of the unit to be about 1.25 - 1.5X that of the comparable PC in the store. Again, that's the way it is. If you are looking at a laptop, Apple will beat the battery life of a PC all day long. Short version on JUST hardware: if you don't mind dropping the extra coin, an Apple's not a bad investment for what you're after. As you are finding out, the software on PC vs. Mac is widely different, and this may not be a bad thing. PC software is only as reliable as you are. If you are on the internet all day and click on things you don't understand, you will be one of those people that perennially have problems with their computer. I've had to have quite a few sit-downs with my users and explain over and over again how you downloading that free screensaver with the cute puppies is the cause of those weird popups you're been getting. Apart from that, you've probably been using Windows in one flavor or another for years, so you know you're way around. Try to shy away from Vista, or see if you can get someone to downgrade you to Windows XP until Windows 7 gets put through it's paces. Mac software doesn't have 80% of the aforementioned "crazy downloading" issues, that's in no small part to the fact that its got 15% or so of the market share. Finding software for Mac isn't that hard, you'll just have to do a lot of downloading. Very little in-store. Software reliability is a lot better, just because it takes a lot of the guesswork out of the user experience. There is a learning curve, but I'm pretty sure you're intelligent enough to work your way around. There is a good reason why newer computer users in the labs I used to run in college gravitated towards the Mac's. If it were me, I'd pony up the cash and get a Mac.
  18. Never heard of these guys before, what's the story? I thought I'd see my cousins in Staten Island and Manhattan, take a 3-4 day weekend away from here.
  19. hmmmm, drive to NYC for the weekend or go to this...
  20. Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick YES. My vote is Easton, right down the street from me. AND it's got Judd Nelson? I think I just came a little.
  21. ...and Jill's hiding a banana, we'll find out where. Giggity giggity, giggity goo. Stick around.
