Greg, yeah, they are definitely doing something along those lines. The upside is, I can watch Reds games on mlb.com that are locally blacked out, even home games if I'm in the area, because the MLB servers always think I'm physically in Ogden, UT. My home area has St Louis and Cincinnati home...

Pings, tracerts, stuff like that, doesn't work from a Flying J. The destination is always unreachable. However, you can go to What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Info, Speed Test, and more and find out your net-side IP address. The problem was, I was getting the same net-side IP address...

Yeah, the 260 cycle was what everything was based upon. But they also figured in the solstice and equinox and tracked the solar year. In fact, December 21, 2010 is the winter solstice. As for when the world will end, people have been saying this year or that year ever since I can remember, and...

There are two beavers who both walk into their house. One leaves the door open and the other one says: "Shut the dam door."

That's the problem with cheap crap, it's cheap crap right up to the point where it sure beats nothing. The "it sure beats nothing" freight is what keeps the freight rates low, as somebody'll take it 'cause it sure beats nothing. The right thing to do is deadhead on your own nickel and refuse the...

That's pretty kewl, Leo. I think I've visited mine 3-4 times total. I should make it a point to go more often.

I run a lot of routes on my Garmin on both the truck and car settings, to see the differences. Oftentimes the car route will be shorter, and quicker - sometimes in theory, sometimes in reality. For example, if you're heading from Birmingham, AL to Rome, GA, the car route will take up up I-59...

When the stars line up just right and I can get the right sleep at the right time and the right loads come in at the right time, I've ran as many as 3500-4500 miles when it's busy like that. Everything has to fall into place where you get lots of long loads in a row, and when you drop off one...

I happened to me at the Flying J. The odd thing was I kept getting the same IP at every Flying J I went to.

If you go back a second time it'll be official, you'll have to add Political Lobbyist to your sig. :)

Hey, that's a good one. Bees have had barcodes for aeons. A better question might be, who invented the barcode, bees or zebras? Didja know that lions see in black and white, not color? The stripes on a zebra look to the lion the same as the stalks of the tall grasses on the plains.

I live in a van down by the river.

Well, the first item to be sold after being scanned by UPC barcode was a pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum. The sale happened on June 26, 1974 at a Marsh Supermarket in Troy, OH. It's on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington. I'm pretty sure that the pack of gum wasn't the first item...

There is no evidence in academic literature to suggest that any Nostradamus quatrain has ever been interpreted as predicting a specific event before it occurred, other than in vague, general terms that could, and do, equally apply to any number of other events. The Mayan Calendar ends in 2012...

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Lincoln and Kennedy Coincidences Most of the above is either patently false (Booth was born in 1838, not 1839... Lincoln never had a secretary named Kennedy, etc.), or only marginally coincidental. The book, "Coincidences, Chaos, And All That Math Jazz" talks...

You say that like there's something wrong with it. There's not. Only a fool would want less money than they can get. I own my van, and I want as much money as I can get from my carrier. More even. :)

Hey, I can play nice, but I was attacked, without provocation. How do I play nice with that? I tried, anyway, and still got called names. Oh, well. In any case, I've protested the war in my own way, more quietly as as to not embolden the enemy. I've written letters and e-mails to those in...
