Started my Christmas shopping today.

Wife went out today and did some shopping for our girls and when I got home from work, I snagged this netbook from Newegg for my oldest.

Anyone have an MSI Wind or any netbook any have any thoughts.

Re: Started my Christmas shopping today.

Looks a lot like one of these:

»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···34115495

Saw one at Office Depot last night for the same price. I'd love to have one.

I think Acer, Asus, and MSI are all in on this same line and from what I saw, they look like pretty sweet machines.

Re: have a good weekend everyone.

Not quite as fast as a 'busa but it gets me around.

I have to watch myself though. Cops are attracted to red.

Hayabusas should be called Seeyabusas. By the time you see one, you're already in their rearview.

I'd be out on the viffer tonight if it wasn't raining. . .

Cops look at me and turn there head they know they cant touch it so they leave me alone.

We had to hurry home, but we got there in time to put the kids up on the roof and watch it live. I love the night launches. Got to see John Glenn go up, how ever many years ago that was.

We're on the Gulf coast, so we saw the flames from the main booster assembly, saw that drop away; saw the whiter flame from the second stage and I think we saw that seperate about a minute later.

All in all, the show was a full five minutes, even with the cloud cover on the horizon.

Living in Florida has it's perks.

OT:
My 15 year old was in an animation class last year. For his final project he submitted a project proposal to animate the dead.

His teacher rejected it, none too happily; I'm told.

Guess?

Anyone want to make a prediction on what Blu-Ray DVD Burners for PCs will come down to by Christmas????

They just hit about $200. Down from over twice that 6 months ago.

after the weekend

We should start to see some major job loss after this weekend and the g20 meeting that could go bad fast but if not this will be a tough time for all people around the forum so I wish you luck. I fixed my linux box dang sata cable was lose and I thought it was fried but even after all the years I'm amazed how simple an answer can be when you look again.

The provisioning.

Ever see the shining? Well, imagine that, but instead of being hounded by a nutty guy, i'm being pestered by our outdated provisioning. The one thing i don't like about fios, is that the tech support folks no longer control provisioning. I gotta call the sales dept. Ya, and that means ~9-7 business hours which don't work for me.

VERIZON SALES DEPT, IF YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE UPDATE MY PROVISIONING TO 20/5 THANKS MUCH.

The space shuttle launch was -epic- So beautiful & amazing. I love night launches, first one i've seen "live".

I think GM & ford should be allowed to go under. They brought it on themselves with a decade of poor choices, including delaying electric cars & hybrids & updating the stuff they make cares out of. They are the kings of rollover prone uninspiring gas guzzlers. Maybe we can let some real car companies come forward & make things worth test driving. If they do give aid, it should come with restrictions, such as getting rid of the huge trucks & developing plug in electric stuff available next year, not in 15 years.

President-elect Barak Obama sure does have his work cut out for him. I'm taking acela (only non-sold out train that day) to watch the inaugural events on jan 20. Good thing i don't mind crowds eh?

I need a small simple part time job.

Someone tell the weather to act like it;s supposed to? Oh yah, global warming. Maybe Obama's administration can enforce real regulations that effect real change. Wait & see.

Susan Crawford to review FCC for Obama

Looks like Obama is going to shake things up in the telecom industry:

»www.techpresident.com/blog/entry···c_review

Hopefully he doesn't go with the "socialist" view of how a utility should be run, but a careful balance of competition and consumer interests

Crawford, Werbach and Rivera are members of a larger Agency Review Working Group overseeing the science, technology, space and arts agencies. It is headed by former National Cable & Telecommunications President Tom Wheeler.
Looks like Cable will still get their views heard by Wheeler.
