Dont they have equally long blackouts? I am sure that during the other half of the year, they have like 3 days where they see no sunlight at all.

If so, it would be a purely seasonal ideal.

Nah, that's next weekend. :P

I read that as "I just got home from my wedding. I was thinking, "wtf? I missed a huge part of Tims life here".

They're getting a Compaq instead. It's not for any sort of intense use, so it should more than suffice.

In the same vein, I have acquired an old Athlon for parts.

Do not buy a Dell.

i think im up to not getting 20 bucks by now

Right. But at the same time, if you get mail from a collection agency because of a deliquent payment, but the letter is addressed to someone else at your address, what do you do? Most people contact the collection agency and inform them that the previous occupant is no longer living there, and the deliquency notices are stopped. That's what I attempted with Continental, and they basically refused to correct the situation.

I am 90% positive that if I do request the password to be reset and change the e-mail notification options, I will be violating numerous privacy policies, if not the law. But yet, asking the company to correct the issue on their part, I get told that it's my responsibility.

I'd rather not be marked as a terrorist, thank you.

it is possible that there are other secuirty measures they use

there are a few places that ask you how you would like to recover your password, giving you a choice of a secret question, or notification by email

people are dumb, and dont think about security, so they chose whatever is easiest.

Wow... did they even read your email?

If an organization as large as an airline can't manage user privacy, what about a few sites I buy computer equipment from, and my information they undoubtedly have on file?

Don't worry. I understood what you meant.

yeah, if she wasnt breastfeeding, there's pretty no reason to stare.

yes, im aware that came out wrong, no im not taking it back.

its one thing if he was going out of town, and he wanted to come to you and pick up his check early, but if this is a weekly thing, getting his check early wont make him have any more money for gas in his tank.

No.

Did you just say well poo?

Wombat?

In case of paranoia, there are exits at the front and rear of the cabin, and on either side over the wing.

Have a good fall.

...WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

Well, this morning she called the shop before I even got here. She showed up not too long afterwards and talked to me about it. I have yet to hear her apologize, but she did say that her plans were tenative and that since I already had plans for that time to go ahead and go with it.

She said she never told me that I couldn't take my vacation, which is a load of crap. She told me that she is making her plans to go the last 2 weeks of September and that I would have to stay home to take care of the dogs.

I'm cooling down now, but I am still pretty upset about it. She raised me different than the way she's acting, and it's really pissing me off that she's not even apologized.

Um, yeah, did you say, "I already have another commitment"? Because you did.

And if she doesn't like it, let her have her hissy fit. You're used to it. It's not like she'll be all peaches and roses even if you say you'll stay home, because she'll just go and find something else to have a tantrum about anyway.

Tell them to go jump.

You pay your housekeeping, you get a say on what happens in the house. If it gets that bad, pay some money towards a kennel and get them to put the dogs in there. It's better than a) spending all that money on a hotel etc and b) what can they say?

Better yet, get a neighbour to pop in everyday to feed and walk them.

from what i gather, your parents are so used to walking all over you, of course they would bee in shock when you tell them no.

but for fucks sake, they're gonna figure out sooner or later that you wont be there any more.

...and she's not said a word to me since...

no, you seem to have missed the option of telling your parents to bite it, you already had plans.

So who was it, eh?

lmfao

I told the guys that it would be funny if they loaded us up and took us all to the dentist or something.

oh, and you're all fired! yay!

Speaking of google results...

enter in "fisher price operating system" and hit "Im Feeling Lucky"

A) I have no hard drive that big B) I don't trust hard drives C) I have nowhere to plug in such a beast, if I had one.

Couldn't you just use another harddrive to have a second copy of all data? It might not be as reliable as optical media, but i've never had trouble with either of my usb harddrives in the 2-3 years i've had them...
