The Hobbit one... I'm not saying I'm a master of Photoshop... but... there... I can't even find the words... just make it stop, please.

Maybe try "u up?" next time. Feel free to add ";)" if you live dangerous.

There are ways around everything. I'm sure they could write up a contract where the "owner" of @N receives $50,000 from the "buyer" in exchange for "voluntarily" giving him access to said account, and he if didn't it would be a breach of contract.

It's a bit mean, but also hilarious. I've also only heard nothing but terrible things about GoDaddy, and I'm not sure why anyone would use them. Then again, Bank of America still has customers too.

Not sure why everyone is hating on your Audi choice. I'd love an R8. Of course, he'd need to sell his Twitter handle for about 3x what he could have for one of those, but with 50k I'd enjoy a nice vacation and still have 90% of the money left over to invest.

I wish I could take all the recommendations from my post and give them to you. I laughed, I cried. I would read again. 10/10

I have ABS, but it wouldn't help in that situation. I was going maybe 5 MPH, and just barely tapping the brakes immediately stopped the tires. The rest of the car had other intentions.

It really sucks because I did slow down fully expecting them to run the stop sign. I manage a store and unfortunately got moved to a location in a mall, and people in malls always drive like dicks. They may have also slid through the sign, but I doubt it seeing how they looked over at me dead in the eyes, saw my car…

I know the feeling of driving on an un-plowed road. Got to work last Tuesday fine, hit the parking lot, some a**hole ran a stop sign and my car slid into a curb instead of stopping. They drove off and never stopped, I had to get my car towed and wheel replaced. It doesn't take much if there's no salt and ice on the…

The real question is, why the hell didn't you sell a Twitter handle you don't use for $50,000?

I have experience buying a desktop, but not laptop, from ibuypower. Their 15" laptops start at $999, so that gives him a bit of room to customize. I'm like you in that I'd rather have a gaming desktop, but I understand the constraints at work here. The reason I bought from them is because during one of their better…

Budget, gaming, and laptop are basically the three most contradictory adjectives you can pick for a computer. Define "budget" please. I assume you mean < $1300, since that's the cost of a basic MBP.

That was pretty much my recollection of it.

I thought 98, XP, and 7 were all generally well liked, unless I'm very, very wrong. Of course, this is an Apple centric blog so I'm sure I'll be told I'm an idiot and Windows always sucked, but I'd bet I'm enunciating the feelings of a fairly large group of people here.

After speaking to Giggity, he/she shed a little more light on the program for me. I think part of where I got tripped up was this line in the article:

I know there are some new services offered by companies partnered with AT&T, FiLIP and Amber Alert, and they're both offered for $10/month. AA is usually $15/18, so that price is lower if you buy from AT&T. That's where I was pulling the figure. I know some places are probably more, but I'm saying the state could…

Perhaps I should have made myself more clear. If the state wanted to negotiate lower prices for people to buy them, I don't see a problem with that. The state gets them at 50% in bulk and you buy them at cost. OK. Where I start to see a problem with it is when the state controls the tracking program. That should be…

I have to agree with you here. I don't think it should be something the government is involved in, but if a parent wants to buy a tracker for their child they absolutely have the right. I especially understand why you, someone who has children with a higher risk of wandering, would want to do this. I think there's…

Maryland got "rich." Suck it, all the poor, strict, boring, haunted states around us!

The proper name is Chili P, yo.
