Service guy said the issue was the hard drive, adding that Windows 8 was overrated anyways. ;)

Can you buy the Windows 8 upgrade using one computer, then only install it on a different computer? I just dropped off my laptop to get serviced (it was overheating, and now it won't fully boot into Vista), and I don't think I'll get it back by the 31st, and I was hoping to buy the upgrade by then.

Yeah, the first sign should've been people paying attention to soccer.

The dipshit who posted the billboard on 95 in Stamford whining about Benghazi took it down a while ago. Pack it in, conspiracy theorists. Show's over.

Not as much as I'm enjoying the COMPLETE AND UTTER LACK OF TRAFFIC in the frozen tundra of New England! The best part about having a car up here isn't the heater, it's that I can hop in, drive somewhere and get there at a reasonable time!

Unfortunately, all Kindle-compatible books have to comply with CanCon.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone was working on a webapp to remotely control a cattle prod, in which case, it's only a matter of time. ;)

...which, of course, they'll film for their next commercial.

Please tell me you mean an actual team of trained seals. Because I'd rather not rescue this guy, but at least he could have some entertainment while he's in captivity.

The one I probably use the most is a wake-up call. And by "use", I mean "it's triggered," not "I actually wake up and stay awake".

...wait, why hasn't this been reposted to Jezebel yet?

Sweet merciful titties, no one in this thread gets it. I don't consider myself technology illiterate (the laptop I'm trying to resuscitate might beg to differ), yet I own an iPhone 4S. Why? Because I'm happy to tinker with computers, but I want a phone that just effing works. That's the iPhone in my case, and I'm…

Nah, Abby's tits are probably bigger.

The strong wind ripping apart the roof? Aftershocks from when the Hulkster slammed the NINE THOUSAND POUND ANDRE THE GIANT (who immediately died).

I don't know of any one program that does that. There's a relatively simple way to roll your own audiobooks in .m4b format, but while I was trying to find the thread that spelled everything out, I actually discovered a Windows program called Chapter and Verse that should do it all in one:…

My only thoughts are that this. sounds. awesome.

I wouldn't change the name. Evil NEVER sleeps.

I have an Acer Aspire One netbook from late 2008 (model AOA-150) that I've already upgraded (802.11n wireless, SSD, maxed out the RAM). However, I still have a free mini PCI-E slot. Has anyone done anything with this slot?

Sorry, fire hoses can't flex enough to contain all the patent violations that come with a Samsung product OHHHHHHHHH SNAP

...yeah, this was more interesting when I thought the headline said "A Gentle Fap..."
