    Kentucky Computer Terms

    Well, the comment was about the drive, not about Pikeville, but OK, make it Racoon, Or Louisa. :D Incidentally, all these years I've managed to avoid the road, but the other day got one from Huntingdon, WV to Greeneville, TN and US 23 was unavoidable. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to...

    Thanks for the link. From the link, tho... Brantford Aroma's Gourmet FoodShoppe & Caterie - 42 Market Street - 519-756-5733 Is that dive still open? (Man, I'm gonna get it for that one).

    Why would you move a post to the FedEx only fourm

    It all depends on the reason for having carrier specific forums. If it's for information management, to collate or collect information separated out and stored by topic, then anyone with information or a comment or a question should be able to post there. If it's to prevent someone from...

    Tiger gets mauled by mate

    They're just people, imperfect, same as the rest of us.

    Why would you move a post to the FedEx only fourm

    That's the strongest argument yet in favor of everyone being able to post into all of the various carrier forums, actually. ;)

    Tiger gets mauled by mate

    The funny thing is, if they spin it right, when it all comes out Tiger may end up being the hero in all this. They get into a fight because he cheated on her, she's hammering him with a 5 iron, and rather than hit her back, he leaves the house in a fit of blind rage, causing him to lose control...

    Yeah, see, you posted that thinking it's supposed to be funny or sumtin'. But it's all true. Ever bit of it. HARD DRIVE - Somerset to Pikeville

    Tiger gets mauled by mate

    You missed out on the fact that the highly prized African male is actually half (or very close to it) Asian. Asian cats, when enraged or attacked, have been known to run wildly without regard to direction, and have even been known to knock themselves out by running into trees.

    Why would you move a post to the FedEx only fourm

    Yup. I'm tellin' ya, if you can read there, you should be able to post there, and if you can't post there, you shouldn't be able to read there. But that won't happen. And the really funny thing is why it won't happen - ta-da the snooty and snotty won't permit it. Clearly, to ensure...

    All threads must be productive

    To be (productive) or not to be. That is the question. Look at the views, look at the views.... it's all about puttin' butts in the seats. To be (productive), or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous moderators, Or to...

    Snooty and Snotty, Part Deaux

    In what may be the zenith of snooty and snotty irony (not to mention an abhorrent abuse of power), a Charlie Brown devoid of humor locked what can only be described as a humorous thread because it wasn't "overly productive." Good grief, Charlie Brown. Lighten up. I've never seen a stupid thread...

    it needs to be said, but i dont want to sound *****y

    Yeah, there's the obvious problems like trash and human waste dumping that they don't want to have to deal with, but they simply don't want to be bothered with things outside of the job they're already doing. This is particularly true for when you pick up or deliver to places that are also...

    Wireless Internet

    I'd need a link to the Supreme Court ruling. Not that I don't believe you, but I've never heard of any "WiFi stealing" case going to the Supreme Court, nor can I find any listing of one. As far as I know, no one has yet been arrested or prosecuted under the federal statutes, only the local laws...

    it needs to be said, but i dont want to sound *****y

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but... "Can you legally & safely log this trip & still meet the scheduled delivery time & date (y/n)?" If your 14 hours are so tight that you can't deliver and then have 10 or 15 minutes to spare to make that long, arduous 9 mile trek to the Flying J or the...

    Wireless Internet

    "if one is available" is the key. Even then, it may be one, like at the Flying J or Pilot or TA where you have to pay to use it, or like at many motel where you need a login/password to get online. Even at places like the truck stops where you've bought a daily, monthly or yearly plan, the...

    Headlight Lenses

    I get Silverstar Ultras at AutoZone. Far brighter than the non-Ultra Silverstars. $50 for a pack of two bulbs. Each one lasts 4-5 months.

    Socialized medicine is a done deal

    That's what the gay marriage advocates thought, until California and Maine reversed the tide of "I want it, therefore I should have it" mentality. Congress will be forced to do the same thing with socialized health care. It won't be this Congress, so we'll have to put up with at least the first...

    The New Droid Phone

    Tethering with an iPhone will be just flat out kewl, 'cause you can use the phone for the aircard, and at the same time use the iPhone as an app phone like always, in addition to talking on the phone. Granted, bandwidth would be a little tight trying to do all that, but it can be done. People...
