I, too, am feeling all-powerful this morning.
I successfully moved my Win XP PC's entire Documents and Settings folder off of my system drive. Who wants to touch me?
I said, WHO WANTS TO TOUCH ME?!
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I can't even describe how giddy I was accomplishing this (ultimately) simple task after two weeks of tech torture. Seriously, it felt like this was the week the machine Overlords would take over.
But, we were vic-tor-i-ous.
This may not be Sparta, but we are pretty badass.

I am sitting in a seminar teaching software. They distributed a new version. I broke it first. I hit the tracker button. Then it gave beach ball and crashed. When I announced the issue, of course, the whole class tried it. And 3/4 of the class had crashes. Mwhahaha! (at least I got the seminar for free)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, should I upgrade to iOS 6 now? Or wait a few days?
When was the last time an iOS upgrade caused significant problems?

I would be concerned if you have anywhere to be this afternoon, since I imagine the download will take a lot longer today than a few days from now.
I don't need to leave the house for a few hours, so I started downloading, and it is sloooow.

OK..my laptop's (emachine) USB ports are all screwed. Don't work. Would cost more to fix than to get a new computer.
I bought a printer 4 months ago...it's USB. Epson Stylus NX130
Anyone know a hack that lets me friggin' PRINT? I canna afford a new laptop and it's driving me BUGSHIT now being able to print or copy or scan.

Good point, Jon. I think I'll wait a day or two.

Jeez, that estimated time remaining thingie is useless. It went from one hour to one minute and is now back up to 10 minutes... 8 minutes... 2 minutes... 6 minutes.
Why do they even bother?

If your USB ports don't work, you'll have to print via the network. Either a share off another computer or a cheap dedicated print server (Like this thing: [link] ). It can be a bit of a pain to configure a print server, but it will work for printing. Probably not for scanning though.

Yeah, when I downloaded Mountain Lion it did that. The download would just freeze for long periods of time.
