    "Boatpeople=tourists who haul or sail their boats from Chicago to the Marinas up here for the Summer (most are snobs!)

    Fudgies=Folks who vacation in N. Michigan, particularly the UP. Gotta eat fudge when you're in the UP (mmmmm....Maple Walnut is the best!)"

    Uhh, I hate boatpeople, when I go to northern MI with my grandparents that have a boat and the marina half the time if filled with a bunch of people from Chicago.

    And yes, fudge is very very good. One time my dog got loose and ate one of the sticks of fudge, luckily it was the peanut butter fudget.

  13. How's The Weather Over There?

    If we had AC, it would be one of those days where we would run both the heat and the AC in the same day! Was warm and humid, then a coldfront went through this afternoon, getting ready to put the sweatsuit on. I hate the "Fall nip" in the air....winter's too long up here!

    Uhh, I hate those days :D I woke up and it was wet everywhere, and humidity must of been over 95%. Later it turned into a sauna and the humidity hasn't budged.

    Honda boy, just so you know, this 10 year old (more like 14) car is actually a '92 windstar, my family likes to call it the "Ghetto Cruiser".

    "Knowing the definition of Boatpeople, Fudgies, Yoopers and Trolls"

    Don't really get that one :P

    "Now, I thought a Michigan Left Turn was when you had to turn right on a divided road, drive a little bit and turn onto the road going the opposite way, OR turning right, turning left at the next intersection, turning around in a parking lot and turning right."

    Lots of different definitions.

    "Where in MI are you?"

    Livonia, which is a good 10 miles from Detriot. Wayne county, south eastern MI, bottom of the thumb, lets of ways to say it.

    "Down here is the "everybody support the US, Buy american" place but over half my town is driving a Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, or Mitsubishi."

    In MI it crazy how many cars are Ford. 9/10 I would say. But this is ford manufacturered cars, not ford branded cars (Ford manufactuers many, Mazda, Jaguar, Ford, and some others are all made by ford).

  18. Port Scan Concern

    Having a router does nothing. Now if you have a router with NAT enabled, then that definatly helps.

    NAT was a great security invention that happened as a by product of CISCO trying to find a solution for running out of IPv4 addresses.

    For the port scanning, theres people with botnets that scan an entire ip range 3 times a day for certain vunrabilities, oh joy.

    Thats what I ment.

  21. Eudoria

    Glad you found something that will work for you in the free edition of Eudora that hitest posted, but I'm sure that Mozilla has 64-bit in mind for the (probably soon) future. And considering that Mozilla has applications that run on linux (which also has 64-bit versions), that is just more reinsurance that they notice the demand of 64-bit products.

    Only 50% humidity so it's not bad. I grew up in the south, so these summers don't really get to me much. I do wish we had a breeze though.

    I guess this is the price you pay to not have you car rust apart in 5 years from road salt. :D

    We got a 10 year old minivan with no rust what so ever.
