    Pretty much anybody reading this still uses XP at least weekly if not daily.
    It’s still all over the place, ATMs, gasoline pumps, ticket machines, kiosks, ect, ect… Some of you may even be sitting in a room with XP right now and not even realize it.
    You may have forgotten it, but it is still there, waiting, watching, ready blue screen for just no reason at all.



  • You might want to search on the word cantenna. Helped set up a cantenna for a friend’s parents once. They lived in a lake house for a few years, but they were in a dead zone for pretty much everything. They had a cell booster that would occasionally get a single if luck was on your side, but once we set up the cantenna on the booster, they had a steady signal .











  • I suddenly had the scene flash through my head: OP stands in a dimly lit and smoky cantina holding a gun pointed someone sitting at a table and says, “You stole my identity!”. Antonio Banderas setting at the table with his feet up, drops his feet to the ground and leaves forward so that his face comes into the light and he says intensely, “It was not theft! I only became the you that you could not be!”.
    OP says, “That’s unfortunate because that me is dead.”, and pulls the trigger.

    I don’t know why it has to be Antonio Banderas, but it does.

    Also, as bad as the idea is, it’s still 10 times better than the premise behind Face Off.






  • Mine is a judgemental little fucker. It will kick on and then make a beeline for the first thing it can find on the floor. I stop what I am doing and untangle it, I then go back to my office and and before I even sit down, the little fucker is stuck again… But this time on the opposite side of the house.
    We once lost it for 3 days and finally found it wrapped in a blanket. The blanket was folded and inside a bag. The opening to the bag was up against the wall. The bag itself was under a bed in a bedroom that is off limits to the vacuum.

    That’s pretty cool. However, no human has ever won by more than 15min, and every horse has a 15min delay built into their times. So even the biggest winning margin of nearly 11 minutes would have lost to the horse if they had started at the same time.
