    Where am I?

    The media will try to make a circus out of anything. If they think it won't bring interest to the viewers, they will do or say something that will. That is their game. And that is why I don't watch the news any more. Why fill my head with a bunch of crap?

    What Operating System is Everybody Using?

    So am I Lawrence. I was starting to wonder if there was anybody in here geeky like me. :D I'm always fiddling around with my computer, trying to tweak it to make it the best computer around. But, sometimes it blows up in my face and I'll be off line for a few hours trying to correct my...

    What Operating System is Everybody Using?

    Bsd is good OS. Actually probably more stable than most. The only thing about bsd, is you have to make sure you have all the hardware they support. Because they won't put have baked drivers in their system. If the drivers don't work, they won't include them until they do work. ;) Which...

    What Operating System is Everybody Using?

    Gnome build 2.26.1 seems to be working pretty good. They do have a build 4.2.2 out for KDE now. Depending on your flavour of linux you are using, you might be able to upgrade. Not sure what bugs they have fixed though. Ubuntu has a Kubuntu version which has the KDE in it. I'm thinking about...

    What Operating System is Everybody Using?

    You know what is funny. Microsoft has been using Linux servers for awhile now for security reasons. If they can not trust their own window servers on the security side of it, why do they expect business customers to trust them? Here is one example among many.

    What Operating System is Everybody Using?

    I'm going to eventually get a MAC one of these days. For the mean time, I've been playing with Ubuntu, which is a linux OS, which is based of Unix like MAC. I've actually been having fun with Ubuntu. They have made a lot of improvements within the linux operating systems. Installed the...

    Where am I?

    I actually was the one who drove last night on US 30. She was just the co-driver with the imaginery brake pedal. I didn't think it was that bad. Been on worse. If it had snow on it, then it might of been a challenge. :D

    $2686.. cough it up

    Here is what I think. The President and Congress should forfeit their pay to pay back the debt since they are the ones who decided to spend all that money, not the people. If the people had the chance to vote for our country to go in debt like it is now, would we be in this situation right...

    Have a question

    I think you have to have a DOT medical card up to date to drive legally. But, maybe some of this more experienced expediters will have the right answer for you.

    Does anyone have Slingshot prepaid wireless Internet?

    Looks like they have expanded their operation since the last time I have checked them out. When I went to their home page and looked at their coverage area, they used sprints page. Now they don't. But I was reading which I guess they are hitting on all major companies to buy air time from...

    Does anyone have Slingshot prepaid wireless Internet?

    I would never recommend AT&T for mobile internet. Their coverage is not as good as Sprint and Verizon. Plus, I know a couple who had cell phones with them and told them they were terminating their contract because they were using other towers to much. Well, guess what, they do expediting like...

    TomPlayer: A Multimedia player for Tomtom GPS

    Did you wish you could play audio and movie files on your TomTom GPS? It might be possible, depending on your TomTom GPS. Found this site, which the download is free, that will allow you to do so. More than likely you will need a GPS with a SD data card, unless you have a old one that you...

    weigh stations question

    I have one for you. What is the weight requirement in New Mexico that you have to stop and get a permit to cross? I've been told all different stories about this and wonder if anybody had a true answer. Tried to call DOT in New Mexico, but they are as hard to get a hold of as if they owed you...

    cargo van drivers only

    I drove a sprinter for a couple of months, just to give it a go, while the wife stayed home. Its rough out there for the cargo vans and sprinters. If you had another choice of making money, I would suggest giving that some thought. Plus, if the owner is doing the 60/40 split and saying you...

    why are owners so crooked

    I agree, if I was EO, I would have them remove the immediately. They scammed us, but we didn't have a cdl B, so we thought we had to go to school for it. :rolleyes: We found out, we could of learned everything at home, because all they did was give us a book and told us what to study and...

    Cities getting creative with Citizen Fees

    I've been thinking since the last time posted here. Fine, let them charge fees to the person at fault of what ever services that are needed from the city, county or country. Its been a long time since I was at fault of anything that requires their help. As long as they stop expecting me to...
