    Dumb question #9999

    dating software Good info! I used to have a Mac and found it pretty picky in turms of hardware and software. I'm glad I finally bought a Gateway machine instead. It's a drag having to have Apple approval on apps.

    A CEO, a Tea Partier and a Union Worker are sitting at a table.

    I like the joke but not enough to get into a heated discussion about oligarchs, the unions and the working class. __________________ Debt is real, equity is opinion.

    Ever wonder what became of "the" bully from your childhood?

    I feel your pain, I really do! Perhaps you can send them a fax of your butt? P.S. weren't we supposed to have a banking revolt soon? I wonder how many bullies ended up shafting us with crappy mortgages/fraudulent loans? Oh god this is priceless...

    What do you think of paid maternity leave?

    I'm actually surprised that Australia doesn't have maternity leave already when most European and North American countries have had it for a long time. What do the politicians get up to over there?

    Another advantage of "living off the beaten path"?

    I've read that food additives may cause autism too - there are a lot of theories for what causes it. I think if I won the lottery I would probably hang out in Saint Lucia. I've heard that it's very nice there although I haven't managed a trip there myself. I don't think that they have much of a...

    Has anyone gone from a Windows 7 machine to an Apple and thought OMG...

    I switched from a Windows machine to a Mac at work and I thought "OMG I cant believe anybody can get any work done on one of these slow, costly things!" At home I have a fast Windows 7 machine and I'm very happy with it.

    PayPal strikes again...

    2canSam your approach seems like a smart one, keeping your account tied to an expired credit card. With all the fancy footwork that Paypal and the banks do these days you really have to juggle things so that you don't get hosed. I'm glad that it's working for you.

    Keyboard that will reconize more than 2 keys at a time

    The key above 2-3 should be F1 but the key looks like F8 and it's too far to the right? I don't understand why companies think it's fair game to move keys around.. Other than the maniacal hope that people will become used to that layout and forced to remain with that company?

    Keyboard that will reconize more than 2 keys at a time

    Thanks for the post Paul. The X4 is a good value for it's feature set. Sadly the custom FKeys and my desire to get a keyboard with excellent stroke/feel keep me from looking at it. I'm personally getting a bit too old for the 1st person shooters and even when I was into them I was using the...

    Are you a troll?

    Troll-baiting, nice trick! :D I think you need some troll smileys in that case, just to more easily identify the trolls.

    Keyboard that will reconize more than 2 keys at a time

    I am one of those KB nerds from way back.. I was talking to a NOC lifer maintaining the servers at an internet fax company over the phone.. Even over the drone of the machines surrounding him, as he started typing up some info I stopped him and said "IBM Model M for PS/2?" and he laughed! Gave...
