A. You come in one and go in the other.

your house and car with them.

I don't like to interrupt her.

And...why couldn't Helen Keller drive?
Cause she was a woman!

Hmm. This is the guy who is getting married and will have his views quickly adjusted by reality shock....

You have two browser windows, and you're viewing them both at the same time. There's no difference in resources if you have two windows, or one window with two tabs, it's still all part of one "program". Kind of like when you're using AIM and you have multiple conversations going. Multiple windows, but still all part of one program/process.



It doesn't sound like 7 adds much if you're already competent enough with Windows to know how to make Vista usable. I'm getting a free copy in the mail at some point, and I'm still not going to bother upgrading.

I have Vista and WIndows 7 in the computer cupboard. I will stick with my Windows XP thanks. When I got this laptop I got it when XP was going out. Didn't want the VIsta junk.

Good Morning Boys!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! terrible tuesday is here.

It wouldn't let me save a Winamp skin in my Winamp folder, saying I need admin permission to do that. Erm...I AM the admin.

people still use Winamp?

All in all, I think I liked XP better. For a Tech grad, I sure am a Luddite.

since I have XP still, should I keep it? I was thinking of upgrading to 7, but should I stick with this?

From what I've been told if you're running XP, it would take a full install and not just an upgrade to run Windows 7. The reason for that is you're going from a 32-bit environment to a 64-bit environment.

I've been having the same thoughts of upgrading finally after 8 years. But i really enjoy using an OS I know isn't going to crash. Plus Win7 is still $299 which I am not willing to shell out.

What is this, the computer nerds thread?!?

Thanksgiving here doesn't exist; it's just another Thursday. But on the weekend it turns into a big "American folks throw big parties" kind of thing. Which is nice. This Friday we're going to a Thanksgiving dinner with some friends originally from South Carolina. That that means Pecan Pie, baby!

Neither do human rights *zing!*

So will there be turkey or are you replacing it with some type of asian fowl?

I seem to have come down with the plague this morning. Wonderful. Can't stop coughing, head so full of mucus I feel like it's going to pop.

It is now. Before it was the misogyny thread.

Morning Lodge. Last day of my work week.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 90: This Poll Sucks!!!

Good morning Lodge.

Last day of work for me until next Wednesday.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 90: This Poll Sucks!!!

I'm fairly certain all of the female posters should band together and get gmann.

What are we getting him.

Actually, I'd be totally content to spend all day, every day in my kitchen. But someone has to pay for the bacon...

I will pay for bacon is you make me some cupcakes..... mmm cupcakes

Howdy lodge. On vacation today, so I'm in a tractor.

Yes, I'm posting while driving the tractor. It drives itself, I set the computer and just sit here. This is pretty sweet.

Is it wrong that I am a little sad that I am not driving a tractor.
What the heck is wrong with me!!!

Is it wrong that I found these funny?

...to a girl who has no qualms with going Freddy Meyer on someone?

Freddy Meyer is my hero!

What's the longest sentence in the English language?

I do.

Going to my bro's inlaw's place (our parents will also be there). I've mentioned it before, but the inlaws don't exactly understand/approve/whatever of the way I live my life, especially in regards to hockey trips/friends that I've met on USCHO and hang out with in real life/etc. I spend a courteous couple hours there and leave like a bat out of hell.

hahaha
Hey if I move to Chi town, I will be *somewhat* closer that maybe I can hang out with you crazy kids once in a while. Its been waaaaaaaay too long and I already know I am not going to the FF this year.

My job was just threatened to my face for something I have absolutely no control over.

Morning Lodge.

Back at work (my actual job), for my only day this week. I really wish I had 1 more day of vacation so I could have taken this entire week off...Can't really do any work right now, my computer is upgrading something and IT said not to mess with anything, I'm assuming Internet Explorer is ok.
Looking forward to getting out hunting all day again tomorrow, we have 6 as a group, but I haven't gotten one yet. I wounded one on Sunday, and we tracked it for about 2 hours, but then we lost the blood trail.

I'm with you on that one. Though, right now, thanks to bb_dl, I'm finally able to properly post from my Blackberry

Surprisingly I am quite knowledgable at Blackberry stuff, while I am completely clueless when it comes to computers. This whole new computer/windows conversation went way over my head. Thank you all for convincing me that I'm better off just sticking with my 7 year old laptop that I have seemed to be able to use decently now. I just wish the casing of the laptop wasn't cracking, I fear that it will cause me to have to buy a new one that will take me another 5 years to figure out how to use.

You High Tech Redneck.

Yeah, I suppose, but the program in the tractor is made very easy to use, since farmers that tend to be not very computer saavy (like me), need to be able to use it.

Is it wrong that I am a little sad that I am not driving a tractor.
What the heck is wrong with me!!!

You're not missing out on too much, it isn't very exciting.

With the shi tty economy employers know they can get away with treating their employees like sh it. Sad but true.

Nobody has a enough time to answer that question.

Hon, you need to get the hell out of there at your first opportunity. It's just not healthy.

That sucks, you want me to come up and hack someone freddy meyer style. I have some angst left from sunday's game (they made us all go to our locker rooms and ended the game early!)

You're not missing out on too much, it isn't very exciting.

You don't really know me that well then. I like to drive things, the bigger and weirder the better.
I saw that megabus has a double decker bus, I was thinking of getting a weekend job there JUST so I could drive the double decker coach.

Nobody has a enough time to answer that question.

Yeah I know it was a tall order.

In response to your rep:

All you can do is the best job you can do.

When I was in St. Louis the guy who was kind of my acting boss sent an email to the project manager and me making me look bad. I responsed to the email telling my side of the story. That I was doing the best I could based on the tools I had available to do the work and that if it wasn't good enough then maybe I'm not the right person for the job and they should send me home. After my email the guy who sent the original email was alot more appreciative of the work I was doing for them and the sacrifices I was making to help them out.

I'm not telling you to do the same thing that I did. Ever situation is different and maybe being that direct isn't in your best interest.

Hopefully there is a more subtle way you can let them know you are doing the best you can. Maybe there is a way you can make seggustions on how to improve the situation without placing blame on anybody.

Best of luck to you.
