  1. Pain be damned, I'm in. The vicodin was was working fairly well until Sunday, but it has just sucked since then. I'll be good by Movember. I hope. Trigger finger still works.
  2. I shit in my backyard at home, doesn't everyone? I shower at least once a week, whether I need it or not. And I don't have much hair, and what's left I keep high and tight, so no need for a blow drier. We (me and the fellas) used to do "real" camping, but then we acquired girlfriends, and those turned into wives, and they couldn't do without a bed, running water, etc., so I bought a vacation place up at Apple Valley... Since the girlfriend who turned into a wife has now turned into TheArtist Formerly Known as Mrs. Blosser, I wouldn't mind trying "real" camping again...
  3. assuming you're alive, you could just walk over to the hospital...
  4. I would agree that you'd want someone who knows what they're doing, preferably licensed, but then again I personally don't like working with electricity. Shouldn't cost too much, < $100 I'd guess, to have someone do it.
  5. 1) employers, if they're looking for a degree, are looking for a degree, period. A business degree is a business degree, doesn't really matter what the specialty is, and *most* employers aren't going to notice. 2) if mom and dad will have you, why not live at home? Seems like it would be easier to concentrate there than in an apartment where debauchery would be happening 24/7. Maybe mow the grass, shovel the drive, help the 'rents out a bit. They'll appreciate it, and they *probably* will appreciate having you around.
  6. ^^^ she's real light-skinned, maybe Northern Africa? j/k g3fg
  7. To paraphrase Chris Rock: "...see another man driving your Ferrari, f*ing your daughter...now I'm not sayin' he shoulda killed him, but I unner-stand..."
  8. Not since my L3 disc bulged, irritated my sciatic and femoral nerves, and made my left thigh and knee scream out in nearly constant pain... Stupid old age.
  9. I'll take c-bus' half-price slot... Still would like to hear from the Chief regarding how mobile you need to be.
  10. In case it's needed, I (and others) can vouch for Mr. cmh_sprint, straight-up dude. (dunno why I put Dr. Seuss in there, just felt like it...)
  11. If you don't get messed with, that means we don't like you - so evidently we like you. ...so far... Oh, and Welcome!
  12. And here I thought *we* were the last ones using NOvell... We did the "network visine" (get the red out) last year. Painful at times, but all done and all gone now.. Woot!
  13. Looks interesting, must do some reading and await end-user replies... Link to the app at the Marketplace: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.prowl.torque&hl=en List of recommended adapters: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters Here's an actual working video:
  14. If I'm able to ride come next spring, that red, white and blue fireblade looks like it could be Johnny's next bike... Or an S1000RR Bimmer. Or a.... According to the story, the R6 has had that for a couple of years, and there haven't been any reports of "Audi-like/Toyota-like unintended acceleration" accidents, have there? I, for one, welcome our new Intel-based Overlords...
  15. @ Chief: If one's mobility is somewhat hampered due to a bulging disc in the lumbar portion of their spine, would that person be graded down if it takes them a moment or two to go from standing to kneeling to ground? I can get there, I just incur a fair amount of pain/discomfort. Trigger finger is unaffected... Are I/OWB holsters required/recommended/not allowed? Very interested in the advanced class.
  16. These days, if you want the big money (high 5 to low 6 figure$), you're a "Messaging Architect"... As an example: My company has ~3,000 mailboxes (users with e-mail), a couple of hundred 'resources' (conference rooms, projectors, automobiles?!, etc) that can be reserved through Outlook, and a couple of hundred groups (of people, e.g. Inside Sales, Big Shots). On any given day there are around 60,000+- mail items that are inbound/outbound to teh Intarnetz through the MX boxes. There are 3 physical servers hosting the Database Availability Groups (DAGs) - the database where mail is actually stored. Each one is in separate physical location and has the ability to host all 3 DAGs for failover/high availability/disaster recovery. There are two Hub Transport/CAS (Client Access Server) virtual servers. These handle mail coming from 'the edge' and route them according to rules that are set up (what domain are they going to, etc.). There are two Edge/TMG (Threat Management Gateway) servers that route mail to/from the HP-UX MX (Mail eXchanger) servers and to/from the HUB/CAS boxes. There are two HP-UX MX boxes that send/receive mail straight from teh intarwebz, well, actually from Postini, a Google product that filters out spam (or is supposed to, but I still get penis enlargement e-mails - I guess the ex Mrs. and all the ex-girlfriends are signing me up...). So. You have to take care of 8 servers, running either Windows Server 2008R2 or HP-UX 11.11. You're constantly monitoring mailboxes for quota size, adjusting for people that are on vacation, people that just can't keep their mailbox size in check, people that are *too important* to be bothered with cleaning mail. You are setting up resources as described above. You're making sure the DAGs don't run out of space. You're making sure that backups ran successfully. You're restoring a mailbox for some idiot who deleted "important" mail that he didn't mean to delete. You're restoring a lot of mail from 5 or 6 years back for the Legal Department as part of discovery for a lawsuit. You're doing lots of things, and this is only for 3,000~ users. I would guess that OSU, with 50,000~ students, plus however many faculty, plus I think they host mail for alumni, so they are probably well over 100,000 mailboxes. Plenty to keep someone occupied all day. E-Mail is/can be pretty complex.
  17. I'm guessing you're either single or have an understanding better half. Congrats on the new bike!
  18. Umm, Dyno Brian @ DTM (click)
  19. Never had a Panny, so can't comment on it. Have a Samsung 42" plasma, 1.5 years old, no isues at all, beautiful picture. Have a 10 year old Toshiba rear projection CRT 60" (the big mother, weighs in at around 300 lbs), no issues at all, beautiful picture when fed component HD (doesn't have HDMI, too old). ***edit - echoing what RVT says about the Toshiba Have two Vizio LCDs (47" & 32"), 4 or 5 years old, no issues at all, beautiful pictures. Guess I'm just lucky with televisions...
  20. you gettin' sumpin else? p.s.
  21. Pretty catchy tune at the end... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Es5eX5k74k&feature=player_embedded
  22. Big motor, lotsa torque = less need to shift. Duh. @ Casper - let us know when/where you're trying this, I'll bring the camcorder.
