Your anti Chicago schtick is so tired.

Ok that's the main thing. It's not easy to find a good breeder, but you sound willing to do the work so at least there's that.

Good for you. Can I suggest finding a rescue to get one from? At least the two I've dealt with do a good job making sure you fully understand what you're getting into and they usually give you a push to take good care of the dogs. For instance, some require you to go training with them and some even give a "rebate" if…

Dogs usually only need a vet visit once a year (assuming good health). In my area that only costs like 40 bucks a visit. So assuming my guys only need to go one time a year, and that will be for boosters, I generally walk out the door paying about 250 bucks a year at the vet. Emergency care is where all the expensive…

Stanley Steemer did a damn good job just last weekend for me. New dog took a couple weeks to figure out what was going on at this new place. Stanley Steemer took all those stains out like it was nothing. Got the deoderizer and the protectant stuff too. Defeintly worth the money.

Agreed. I'm hugely introverted and the worst liar you've ever met, still drew my Q proper for another to read it.

I think he's probably the best setup artist in the EPL so I'm not sure you really lose much using him, but I don't make the decisions. Schurrle is gonna be a good one. I'm a fan no doubt.

Well yes, but you're talking about another top 5 AM there. Again, nothing to be ashamed of being behind him (though that's arguable as well). He very well may be going back to Spain. I wouldn't be surprised, he does seem like he misses home doesn't he?

He was Chelsea's best player for two years in a row. Arguably the best player and probably the best play maker in the EPL for two years. Not really his fault Mourinho is too dense to see that. As for not starting for Spain, well we're looking at one of the all time great teams. They just tear through teams, no shame…

Basically. Except they buy contracts instead of trading players.

Just have all your guys get hurt in preseason, then when they come back, it's like you got a whole new squad!

This is just normal power management stuff. It will wake up when the NFS service or Samba service (or whatever file sharing service you use) is being asked to serve a file. So basically, it knows to wake itself up if it's being asked to do anything. You can also look at something call wake-on-lan. Though that really…

The answer is no not really. And Carl was trying to give another option.

Of course you can do this. You can do this with Windows and Mac, too. The benefit of using linux is that you can set it up so it uses very little resources, meaning it will be in this sleep state much more often.

Because running iTunes on Linux doesn't really work. I think there was a version a few years ago that was ok, but that's about the best it's been. The reason people bring this up is because you'd be much better served identifying your needs and seeing if one of the many linux native music managers can get the job done.

There's usually a IR receiver built into the computer or you can get a usb one that the remote will talk to. Something like the flirc (www.flirc.tv)

I don't think that's a set rule though. I do much worse work in the morning. I do my best work from about 10 pm to 2 am. Unfortunately, the world shuns my type...sigh.

Came to say just this.

I can guarantee you do because all I picked up there is that's probably a Final Fantasy thing.

A condo I could see, I know people doing that, just never heard of anyone going the house route until they're married. Maybe it's just a regional thing?
