They couldn't figure that out before they made us suffer through them? All they did was make Gates look as washed up as Seinfeld.

(And I'm not a hater - I still watch that show - but seriously, sad.)

Does anyone have any recommendations for a computer microphone and/or mic-headset combo? I'm looking for something at a reasonable cost, but will provide a little better recording levels than my ten-year-old generic stick microphone.

Mac people, HELP!

After several unsuccessful tries, I have FINALLY downloaded the update to 10.5.5, but when I tried running it, it hangs on restart, and won't fully complete. I am getting VERY FRUSTRATED at the betrayal by my own tech toys. I have TOO MUCH OTHER SHIT going on right now to handle this well, and I feel like crying, and possibly smashing my brand new, expensive MacBook Pro into tiny bits.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Are you running from Software Update, or are you running the standalone installer?

Software Update. What's the standalone installer?

DAMMIT! I don't know when I'm ever going to be able to FUCKING UPDATE anything ever again.

I have been stealing Internet for a week now. They shut off our DSL briefly because I was behind on the payments. I fucking paid up, but now the DSL won't sync up. I called Earthlink Customer Support, they failed to help me, and told me they'd escalate the ticket, and somebody would call me back in 24 hours.

THAT WAS THREE FUCKING DAYS AGO. I DON'T FUCKING HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH THIS SHIT! I need FUCKING INTERNET BACK.

Everywhere I try and steal Internet is SO FUCKING SLOW. This disk image will take THREE FUCKING HOURS TO DOWNLOAD here off the hospital wifi.

I DON'T HAVE THREE FUCKING HOURS. I'M SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED TODAY.

Hey Sean, come by the house on the weekend and make use of my very very fast connection.

Yeah. I'm sure I'll be by this weekend. I'm just over this DSL thing right now. Okay, I'm gonna go meditate or something and try and get into work mode.

Sean,

if you get a Starbuck's card (just put $5 on it) and use it to pay for an item, you can qualify for a starbuck's acct, which gives you 2 free hours of internet a day.

you just need to use your card 1x a month.
