Re: Leap from DSL to BB

Those speeds will never hold back his advancing glaciers bozo.

Re: Leap from DSL to BB

There's a lot to be said for the message in a bottle method, as long as you follow two simple rules.
1.  It must be a single malt bottle.
2.  You get to empty the bottle.

If the bottle wasn't empty, it would be alcohol abuse and that's never good.

Re: Leap from DSL to BB

Eds definition matches mine.  I was happy to go from cable to dsl, just because I got a lot better customer service.  It was worth the slower speeds, and still much faster than the old message in a bottle method.

Re: Leap from DSL to BB

DSL is broadband, so what did you get.

May you fart more with every passing year.

Re: Adding modules to YaST

gotcha

Re: Adding modules to YaST

Nice.  So your script actually replaces the YAST software manager, instead of just adding SMART?

Re: Ranch dip with a kick

Probably to spicy for my liking, but I'm sure others will enjoy.

Re: Some oddness.

Pumpkin pie does sound good.  Ice cream or not, and you can give welan my helping any fish toppings.

Re: Some oddness.

So the pumpkin had to leave so it could be appear on the Charlie Brown Halloween special tonight.?

Re: What to post when you run out of questions or ideas.

I was thinking it might be handy to drive thru the timber during deer season.

Re: If Microsoft has.......

You're not the first I've heard make that claim.  One of Dad's friends swore the same thing, now he carries it in his front shirt pocket all the time.  I think the turning point was breaking down on the mail route in bad winter weather and having to walk a few miles for help.

Re: If Microsoft has.......

Ah yes the lost pay phones, and the handy corner bathrooms they were placed in.  The last one I knew of around here was disconnect last year.  Even the old coots that swore they'd never own a cell phone, have been assimilated and decided they like them enough to carry all the time.

If Microsoft has.......

black helicopters, then does apple have white helicopters with all touch screen controls?

Re: Preparing for opensuse 11.2 upgrade

This might be a good place to start.

Re: SNOW

Its currently sleeting here, so those darn xeons aren't making much heat yet.

Re: Reduced to using the Internet.

I bet its running Linux.

For the antenna rotation we either welded a piece onto the pole or just used a good set of vise grips.  Until we moved up to the fancy electric rotor, that we could stay in the dry to change.  It never failed that the only time you wanted to change directions was weather related.  Des Moines might not come in, but Omaha, St. Joe, or Kansas City might.

Re: Reduced to using the Internet.

Keep the hope and we will continue wishing you good luck in receiving DSL.

Re: Ubuntu 9.10 (beta)

Well m$ is starting to push the 64 bit operating system more.  Windows Server 2008R2 is 64 bit only, and for any pc to Windows 7 certified it has to be a 64 bit processor.  They will still be releasing Win7 as 32 or 64 bit though.

Re: Reduced to using the Internet.

Well Matt you can always spend more time at the still making sure all the ingredients are mixing just right.  Then there is nature watching with the hi-power.  You'll need the scope for close up inspection and just in case da 30 pointer walks by. 

And of course you could always go out for a cruise

Re: Ubuntu 9.10 (beta)

I keep hearing good things about 11.2 testing.  Wish I had a place to test it out.  Not sure I want to trust it for daily use on my laptop while still in beta.

Re: Skeleton

Someone has to do recon to stop your evil plot of freezing the world.

Re: Skeleton

Welan doesn't like to share anything besides cold weather, snow, and ice.  His sardines are kept in a maximum security freezer deep undergound in his igloo complex at the north pole.  If you are able to penetrate his fortress though, please turn off the mondo chillers.  The switch is next to the fish freezers.

Re: We're trying a new Widget!

I would say that could be him.

Re: We're trying a new Widget!

I've noticed our red dots have increased considerably.  Some even appear to come from out in the middle of the ocean.  I'm guessing there are small islands underneath them, unless the geo locator is good enough to pick up traffic from boats.
