  1. Happy Birthday, macmarauder, old buddy! We miss you, man.
  2. Great news, TT_75 and shanenin! Well deserved indeed:-)
  3. My buddy Carnevil let me know about this cool, light and fast bittorrent client yesterday. I used it on my daughter's Ubuntu box to download the new Opensuse 10.3 live cd. It functions very well indeed. Deluge is worth a look. Deluge
  4. In my little town, Prince Rupert, a small fishing community on the North Coast of BC, Canada we have a positively exquisite little restaurant. It is situated near Cow Bay in Prince Rupert, hence the name Cow Bay Cafe. It has a picturesque view of the harbor. The restaurant isn't really a cafe, but a gourmet dining experience. Adrien the chef has a different menu every night, each main dish is a culinary delight! Adrien hand selects the freshest herbs, spices, and ingredients to produce dazzling dishes! The last time my wife and I went there we had some amazing halibut. The Cow Bay Cafe i
  5. Agreed. True enough. I'll take Linux/Unix any day of the week over M$ though:-) IMHO it is better software! Actually I'd say that Mac OS 10.5 software is on par with Linux/Unix:-)
  6. I dunno, Matt. I haven't tried that. I have been able to log-in as root in x windows in ubuntu. This is a security draw back to linux in that anyone can get into your machine if they can get physical access to it (log-in as single user and change your root password).
  7. It is starting to slow down.....we've had over 100 so far. It is a bit slower this year. Yay, more candy for us.
  8. Yeah, maybe you can fedex it up North.........thank you We're having quite the invasion of goblins, ghouls, vampires tonight. I love Halloween, I'm still a big kid at heart.
  9. Glad to hear your stuff isn't gone, Bubba Bob. I've also got some important pictures and docs archived in my gmail account. I also have copies of this stuff in my yahoo mail account now that yahoo has a lot of storage too. I also worry that one day someone will accidentally delete all my stuff.
  10. Yeah, I completely agree with the previous posts. I've flashed a BIOS before and it went fine. But, there is the real potential to ruin your computer if things go terribly wrong, like you have a power failure during the process. I'd leave well enough alone unless your computer is malfunctioning and you absolutely need the upgrade.
  11. guilt...............................(Out damned spot)
  12. Happy Birthday, Bearskin:-)
  13. Thanks for the review, JSKY:-) I'll patch my XP Pro box when SP3 is available.
  14. joke (any good lawyer jokes?) A lawyer was driving his big BMW down the highway, singing to himself, "I love my BMW, I love my BMW." Focusing on his car, not his driving, he smashed into a tree. He miraculously survived, but his car was totaled. "My BMW! My BMW!" he sobbed. A good Samaritan drove by and cried out, "Sir, sir, you're bleeding! And my god, your left arm is gone!" The lawyer, horrified, screamed "My Rolex! My Rolex!" to continue.......... comedy.

  16. I went for a few good walks this past weekend, it was breezy and cool, lots of leaves blowing around. A perfect October weekend. I think I'll also need to get the snow tires on in about a week or so.
