<long, slow whistle> Whew. That'll instill a sense of confidence in you real fast, eh? 
I'm glad I never used Windows. It came on this 1015PEM I bought back in JUne but I never even bothered to look at it. Wham! Bam! I installed a Debian Squeeze netinstall so fast...

My son knows the meaning of NO
I gotta comment on this:
1. rhowaldt
- my thanks too. If I say more I'll get banned .... but "killing is too good for some" comes to mind.
2. VastOne
- My stepfather beat the crap out of me for hitting my sister, that was the last time I have hit a 'female' in my life.
- I've never put a lady in the position that she had to say "No!", a man, if he's honest with himself, always knows before it comes to that stage.

I actually got to be a part of a luncheon with Billy Boy. It was when Active Directory was just out and was going to change the landscape of the world and be all things secure... But there were no answers to repeated questions about backup, restore and a Disaster Recovery plan
Not many folks left that lunch with a better feeling towards AD

I have a Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro (Latin-American layout) and an old Microsoft mouse that are still working like there is no tomorrow. I've stripped the keys off the keyboard and cleaned it many times over the years and cleaned the inside of the mouse as well. BUT they both run as good as the day they were first taken out of the box. I still have the original MS CD's for them too. However #! doesn't need those.
So a decent keyboard and mouse still running after 11 years! Both labelled: Microsoft!
Does that help?

I feel very strongly about some things, that that subject is one of them.
Yea, like a waterfall ... and guess what - more on the way!
If you see bubbles in my posts for the next few days you'll know why - me coming up for air.

@AwesomeFist,
interesting, I first tried it on my macbook's speakers and had trouble.
On my sennheiser headphones, no problem at all.
Must be why streaming music sounds fine on speakers but shit on my headphones (compared to my FLAC collection anyways)

^^ & ^ Looks like a small quesadilla wrap to me. Maybe a little heavy on the sausage, but actually quite tasty looking. If I liked flatbreads, that's the kind of sh!t I might make myself for breakfast.
I may be biased...to me, anyone who swears by God and guns loses by default.

Fast foods are: fruit & carrots or other raw veggies ... and of course when my wife calls, "Dinner is ready", fast for me maybe not so fast for her. Although I have to admit there are time's I'm doing the yelling "Hey, where's din..." ...Oops, no no not that; "Dinner's ready dear"!
Loved this link: Taco Bell Sued Over Meat That's Just 35 Percent Beef.
Who was that little old lady that use to say: "Where's the beef?" and then there's Where's the beef 2 a better read.
