Cheech

I got just past Buzz's lap before I had to turn it off. I'm willing to skim the first few episodes to see if they start to gel, but I will be watching classic UK episodes as mental bleach soon thereafter. All the other assessments here are dead on.

This. Linksys was purchased by Cisco a few years back, hence the Cisco branding on everything.

As much as I see your point (and I do), I think in this particular instance the boys on the inside will do what needs to be done to ensure that the taxpayers get a discounted rate on this one.

Please shut the fuck up.

i stay for the snuggles afterwards

Quite true. Sooner or later he's going to get his on the inside.

Bingo. Way to jump to conclusions on the insanity defense though. There is no way in hell this guy is not seeing some major jail time, and I'll venture to say there's no way he's living out the rest of his sentence, even if it is life.

I'll sponsor the bear to eat you upon your arrival.

I'll have to ask our pilot the next time I see him, the company has a Cessna Citation and I don't think we've ever checked against the no-fly list.

Was just about to say that. I've flown on my company's corporate jet a handful of times, a few of those times I surprised the pilot that I was coming along. Private jets aren't beholden to the TSA at all, period.

Private jets of any stripe aren't covered by the TSA, or any government passenger security for that matter. It's good to be the king.

What I'm really curious to see if any airports have the balls to opt-out of the TSA. When the TSA was foisted on the airports in 2002, the law that was signed allows airports to get all bootstrappy and handle security on their own.

For that matter, being at 37,000 feet for 2-4 hours times however many times you fly isn't doing you any favors from a radiation perspective either. I'm not concerned about that so much as I'm concerned about the following things: There was never any meaningful scientific review regarding the machines before they were thrust on the public During the implementation of the scanners, we were consistently lied to; they won't save any images (they do, it was a part of the TSA requirements for building the scanners even), they blur out the naughty bits for the TSA worker (they don't) The manufacturer of the scanners can be pretty directly linked to Chertoff, from where the orders for the scanners began, and the biggest bitch of all... They wouldn't have caught the asshole Christmas bomber anyway! If you're going to be completely knee-jerk reactionary about security, at least make sure that the thing you are knee-jerk implementing could have actually caught the asshole that beat you the first time. I refuse to use them on these grounds alone, but even though I know I'm going to get hit with some rads when I'm airborne, I sure as hell don't need to double down when I'm on the ground for no reason at all.

Another vote for the asym's here. I've noticed sometimes when I put my helmet on it'll squash the bud farther in the canal until you can't hear it anymore, but moving my head around in the helmet a little usually clears that up.

the cloud does not enjoy being sticky, also your fetish for hentai tentacle porn is highly suspect.

I'd offer, but after keeping a Road King in there for a month and a half I've learned that my garage isn't as big as I'd like it to be.

The toilet in my hotel and the toilet in the Shanghai World Financial Centre had one of these, but there were a bank of buttons along the side for pulsation, temperature, location, the works. Tried it once, not a fan.

The ideas are marginally the same. Citrix can deliver either apps or whole desktops to anyone, anywhere (as long as you set it up that way). You still control the server/storage/infrastructure back-end. If you want to term the Citrix farm as a cloud because it's in a clustered environment, then yes, it's a private cloud, but it's not the same as something like Hosted Exchange which is completely in The Cloud (the interwebs). While it may or may not be private (depending on your configuration), you still don't do anything on the back-end but set up new Exchange accounts, drink mai tai's, and see who can get farther faster in Mafia Wars. Thin clients, same thing. The only real difference between then and now is then you still had to do all the infrastructure gruntwork, now all you have to do is establish connectivity to either the Internet or a private connection to the hosting company/facility and everything's basically done from a day-to-day, back-end monitoring and maintenance standpoint.

I've got good money that says it's Boehner bringing the pork home.

But the big question is; was it properly anchored. It wouldn't be the first time that China has attempted to build a high-rise complex on top of easily shifting soil with no sunken concrete supports.

Neutral. As JCarlson said, my NYC only comes out when I've had a few or I came back from NYC recently (or hung out with my cousins from there).

More likely you reseated one of the ribbon cables, I've had to do that a few times on people's laptops that they thrash around.

If all that's involved is ripping it apart and reseating a ribbon cable, I have no problem working that out for you. If you're talking about soldering tiny-ass cables back on something, I'm going to fry the hell out of your circuit board.

todd beat me to the snark once again. I'd have a chase truck ride with you if I were you, never mind anyone else.

got a link to the fix?
