Shudder That reminds me... I was once forced to use an old windows 98 laptop to access the internet when my 56k modem was fried by lightning. The upgrade to a 3G card quickly ensued. That was about three years ago.
If only I could have actually gotten 56kbps from AOL. "A 2MB download? Time for solitaire!"
/facepalm. Cannot wait to finally move to teh college. edit: on second thought... maybe I have it pretty good... sorry Zombie Joe Boomer
Also, I made an omelette this morning. I tried to go all out- I had green peppers, cooked up some onions, had tomatoes, made some bacon- it was great. After I finished, I realized I had forgotten the cheese, which I had set aside specifically... FFS!!!!!!! oh well.. the tomatoes had good flavor anyways. (and no.. we didn't have any hot sauce or salsa in the house for it.)- yeah not that much of a fail... but I felt pretty sad about it.
An Edmonton mother is outraged after members of a local church approached her daughter on a playground - offering a Bible verse, candy and a promise that if she memorized the passage they would give her more treats.
Kathleen Crowe says her nine-year-old daughter Angeline was playing in MacEwan park last week when she was approached by a couple from the Victory Christian Center who gave her candy and a Bible verse. Angeline was also promised more candy if she memorized the verse.
Minor fail that could turn major: my body has figured out that if it turns off my alarm before I notice, I won't wake up...
Fuck.
Solution: Place your clock far enough out of arm's reach that you HAVE to get out of bed to shut the alarm off.
I did this myself. But my mom got me a fancy clock with a "wave sensor", which detects motion and goes to sleep. It was a little past the foot of my bed, so I quickly learned how to kick my leg up into the air and wave it around in my sleep.
I have been trying to install OSX Lion since 9 AM, according to my computer, the hard drive is damaged to a point that the OS can't be installed. I might have to erase the hard drive and start fresh, but I'm not going to do that until I go to the Apple Store and get someone there to look at it.
So today I visited a friend of mine to discuss a couple of things. Unfortunately, the timing wasn't quite right as he was just being visited by his mother and sister. His 15-year-old sister was having a problem with a computer virus that she supposedly got of facebook, and of course she is not tech savvy enough to fix it herself and has to ask her brother to do it for her. Since however, the problem is on her laptop and as she didn't bring the power supply with her, he can't really do enough to fix it either. So they decided to fix it when he visits them on the weekend.
Then his mother and sister leave to drive home. But about a minute after that, his sister comes back and asks if the virus can do any harm "if the computer is turned off"!

You should have answered with, "Will a the cold or flu virus harm your body when you're dead?"

They're the most dangerous when it's off! With the hard drive no longer spinning it's much easier for the virus to move around the platter infecting other files.

Turns out, I don't need to be awake to walk over and hit the right button.
