Reply to Outsmarting Murphy in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Ahh, Murphy - if anything can go wrong, it will. My favourite is: if you work on something long enough to improve it, it will break. You may want to consider buying a cheap replacement drive on eBay. I've had good luck buying accessories for a Thinkpad on eBay. IIRC, you have a Dell, so YMMV. That way you have a few more options - sell the old laptop and use the money towards a new one (it should be worth more if it is perfect working

Death Blow to HD DVD in DVD JoeUser Forums

Reply to Bakerstreet, Where For Art Thou? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

[quote]There may have been other factors, but regardless I doubt he'll be back.[/quote] Then we all have really suffered a loss. When I read a forum such as this, I not only look for diversity of opinion, but clarity of thought and critical analysis of the issues. Baker provided all of these. Personally, I've found that my mind isn't fast enough to be an active participant in the volume of discussion that occurs here. I can read it, digest it, and enjoy it - but for me to respo

Reply to Deputy Abuses Man In Wheelchair in Current Events JoeUser Forums

If the deputy would treat someone like that in front of witnesses and a camera, I can only image what they might do in a back alley. This is 2008, right? That's one hell of a breach of the public trust. Unbelievable!

I have family members who lurk and it always gives me a chuckle when they start talking about someone on JU, or their article. Wondering if they even have accounts

Funny we got the same theme going! Yes we do. Although I tried posting it earlier yesterday, but JU ate my first attempt. Not that I'm complaining about the free ice cream. <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" border=0 ALIGN="abs

I hope you got some food by now, but if not, just chew some butt when the culprit shows up I'd hate to be on the receiving end of an angry and hungry Mason. Hell, those knitting needles could turn into chopsticks pretty quickly!

Reply to When did people become so rude? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Unbelievable. Like it's the waiter's fault that the menu isn't to the customer's liking! Too much ice in your iced tea - well it ain't called a tea with ice - get over it! I suppose these people go to McDonalds and complain to the manager that they are still hungry as their Big Mac isn't big enough to fill their tum-tums. What I'd like to see is when a judge sentences someone to "community service" that they have to work as a waiter i

Attention Lurkers! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I've been a member of JU for coming on four years now. Last January I decided (for reasons best kept to myself) that I would switch to lurk mode. I decided to surface today in order to reply on Tova's article asking about Bakerstreet. Never being what you'd call a regular, I'd be surprised if anyone even remembers me, but that's okay. All this got me to thi

Reply to Bakerstreet, Where For Art Thou? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

~~~~returning from lurk mode I miss him as well. He left under unfortunate circumstances. At the time, I felt like I was the only one who understood him. Maybe I should have surfaced then, but we all have things going on in our lives, and I decided to just lurk throughout 2007. He hasn't logged in for a few months, but hopefully he does read JU from time to time. Baker - we miss you! Hope all is well in your life.<

Reply to I hate parties (*gah*) in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

And for me? I just don’t like being at parties, especially when I’m alone in a party where there are many people already in their own groups. The host is a good friend and who has many groups of friends, and all which she invited to her place to today. I have one of these to attend tonight. While I'll proba

Just a man who is hurting bad right now. And all alone. I know that our friend is hurting, and I feel his pain. But my belief system is under attack by someone who claims to be on my side - a fellow Christian. She is being a two-face in that she attacks in one breath, and claims that she does not in the next. Do you really expect me
