Speaking of which, never fear Tom, we will have BSG tonight (and FNL).

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

Huh. I don't watch either show.

Coding and Sleeping

Will that do it? I'm not sure if there's a jumper on the mobo.

Most motherboards have a clear CMOS jumper. It is a more complete reset than resetting the BIOS via the BIOS menu.

I feel bad for the employees, and reduced competition is never good for the consumer, but it's hard to feel sorry for a company whose CEO lent a private jet to Newt Gingrich in the early 90s.

(Yes, I'm still bitter; I'm expecting to feel better Tuesday afternoon)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Sensing a trend. Newt/Circuit City. Bush/Enron. I'm sure it's purely coincidental.

Our wings are not tired

That's a bummer, but I guess I'll be checking out my local ones for good deals.

Huh. So companies that try to court favors and game the system end up doing worse in the long run than companies that try to compete in the marketplace?
