When HP really screwed me over (over the course of months... long story), I found their BBB contact from an online resource, called a campus late at night and had myself transferred to that guy's voicemail.

Indeed. Friends and I have often called the racking sound of a pump action the universal way of saying, "get the f* out".

Same here, stayed up for the launch. It was a real mess with the servers going down, RS not actually taking orders, reps telling people they only sell to companies, foundation was out of the loop on it all, etc.

Because most use cases aren't as routers. But no reason you can't add devices with USB.

That's because it's not really for the USA folks... it's freight from UK. Hopefully the licensed manufacturing deal will happen with a real retailer in the US so we can get them < $55. I'd love to pick one up.

I ride a cruiser, but no windshield. Wind causes the helmet to lift a bit, but it's not the worst thing ever. It's more that a huge helmet just feels weird. Some day, when I've got my dream ducati, I'm sure I'll plunk down the cash on a good full face helmet. ;) [www.davidcdean.com]

I have this exact problem with the shell. The mediums are often the shells from a large, so I get the bobblehead effect. I usually wear a 3/4 helmet, though I have 1/2 and full-face ones around here, but they're all like that.

Yeah most of the moto guys I ride with are always on the lookout for a less awful helmet. Most of the foam ones that meet DOT are ridiculously massive.

Either way, given that they shot it down with shotguns, this thing was well under 500ft over private property. If the hunters had done anything even remotely illegal, the nutjobs with the drone would be clamoring for legal action. More likely, they're hoping they don't get slapped with fines.

You made me look it up too. :) I think, "an attitude of superiority toward members of the opposite sex; also : behavior expressive of such an attitude" (Merriam Webster) is appropriate, when suggesting that the presense of male anatomy is an indication of superiority. Of course, I didn't actually mean to disparage…

You can't help but admire everyone involved in our early manned space programs. Gigantic balls of adamantium, all around. And my apologies in advance for the chauvinistic expression, I don't mean it that way.

I suppose if you're making lots and lots of espresso, being able to consistently reproduce what you feel is the best possible cup is a real challenge.

Red Box is nice, but it's a different animal. More recent films, but very limited selection and late fees. Unless that's changed?

I get the impression most of us vod-only customers kinda felt that way all along. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I even pay my cable company.

I can't help but think of the aging honda I see every day down in our parking garage, with the bedazzled grille badge and giant Louis Vitton sickers in the windows.

I read it as, "Doh... your website wasn't really the primary target, but we do want you to do something about this kiddie porn. Please don't track us down and send us to gitmo."

Easy there... I think the joke was about the minor ambiguity of the sentence, not a jab at the girl's medical situation.

Wait, a seagull threw up a 13" chunk of one even bigger than this?? How big was that seagull?!
