    Attack in Oslo

    While it may shatter one myth, it seems to reconfirm a different myth. :D

    Attack in Oslo

    Yeah, a tall, swarthy <snort>, blue-eyed blond fellow from, uhm, Norway. It's time to weed the Norwegians out of the gardens and put them in another place. I know , I know all Norwegians are not bad,ok,,u decide, mean while back in Norway people are dying, Norwegians are the only ones...

    Eating out anywhere.

    I really don't like things hot. Sliced jalapeños on my Five Dollar Footlong? Not a chance. Pace Salsa, for example, the Mild is what I like. The Medium I can handle, but just barely. I'm about done after a few bites. The Hot one, forget it. Crying and eating don't go together for me. But I do...

    Eating out anywhere.

    Yeah, what Dakota said. :D As you get older your taste buds die out, 'cause evolution didn't think you'd be needing them for that long. (Same with your eyes.) It's also why many people while they are younger don't like hot (spicy) foods, but the heat is something that you get to like, because...

    700 wlw and bubba bo!

    Well, you can believe him or not, that's your call. But considering he said he was going to be in-studio for the Friday night show to promote the Expo, the reason he gave for that not happening is consistent with how things work in radio. He wasn't either. He was talking about a significant...

    To the laptop. My 4G is the aircard, until the Bionic comes out.

    Motorola Droid Bionic

    The difference is about 10 times faster. A good 3G signal will get you between 800k and 1.6 mb. A good 4G signal is 8-11 mb. I downloaded a TV show that used to take 45-60 minutes on 3G, that took about 4 minutes on 4G.

    700 wlw and bubba bo!

    As someone who had a brother who was a station manager and program director at the top station in a top 25 market, I can tell you unequivocally that it's not BS. The Expo may be an event, but it's a commercial event, and they aren't likely to devote in-studio interviews and plug-time for the...

    What has you ripping your hair out sometimes in this business?

    A pompous ***? I'm not pompous. :D Each carrier can set it up any way they want, but most leave the defaults, more or less. If the carriers and dispatch had to rely on driver initiation to execute a location ping, no one would ever know where anyone was. :D Satellite positions (pings) are...

    Porn King Larry Flynt questions Murdoch's morality

    No, he exposed her hypocrisy. She preached one thing, and practiced another.

    Truckers Helper Conference Call

    I might be able to get on the call, just depends. I posted my schedule for the next few days over in the super sekrit Illuminati forum. It will dpems on what time I get unloaded.

    Truckers Helper Conference Call

    If you're a trucker named Jason and you wear a hockey mask instead of a hard hat, sure, but other than that, I can't figure out a single reason for a trucker to need a hatchet, even an American-made one.

    The Epidemic of Mental Illness

    As Pilgrim noted. The articles should have made it clearer just how commonplace this is. More and more people with perfectly normal behaviors are diagnosed with mental illness which a high dollar pill or seventeen can solve, which makes them more and more dependent on not only the pills, but on...

    Who takes the least out of your check??

    Some have the escrow that needs to be funded, especially the ones with the Qualcomm. You can have that deducted at like $50 a week, or just fully fund it from the beginning in cash.

    News Corp Faces Potential Fallout in US

    Well, it's Luke 12:3, not 12:13. But Luke 12:3 doesn't address journalism at all, it addresses the keeping of secrets, and how people cannot keep secrets. It doesn't really apply to the story. The scandal goes to illegally breaking and entering to steal information. Whether it's breaking into a...

    News Corp Faces Potential Fallout in US

    Depends on what that "something" is. If it's front page news, one of the leading major news stories and not all that controversial, the same criticism has been and will continue to be given. If it's not something that many people are aware of, like odd-ball news or something off the main pages...

    News Corp Faces Potential Fallout in US

    Yeah. And...? This is The Soapbox, not Google Junior, The Mini News Aggregator. It's not like no one here knows about all this and we need news stories reprinted here without comment. This is front page news on most newspapers and news Web sites. So what's your comments on it?

    Full Service Lease? Looking for Company

    Plan on about 30% deadhead, so if you drive 2500 miles a week, only about 1750 of those miles will be revenue producing. If you run the math, you'll see that $1100 and $1300 is about twice what a bank payment would be, and the same math will show you out of the business in 6 months, because...
