That's not far off what you'd pay in Canada, though our sales tax is nearly double that.

Edit: as a straight up single income no deductions for anything at all (aka me)

Physical manipulation can cause reboots.

Double entendre much?

I try for the coveted triple but I'll always take a solid double.

You can always manually back up to iTunes.

To save time you can just poke yourself in the eye repeatedly. Don't even need to boot the computer or wait for ever for iTunes to load

Liquor and... fine cigars count bud, we're golden.

all-star edit there guy

trying to keep it classy, but it's Friday and my brain filter is tired.

Best go to into a store and play with a few of the cheap ones - around $60-100 they range in speed from decent to hot garbage. Price will not usually be the indicating factor.

You have a brain filter? Dang... I need that upgrade. I think my "Shut Up" filter needs an upgrade too.

Yesterday I actually told a user why I was chatting and distracting her (so she'd leave the computer alone and let it chooch through an install). I'm slipping. I have most of April off for vacation so that'll be a good recharge of the old batteries.

Are Huawei on the Pentagon's security threat list along with Lenovo?

I've never heard of anything like that. What makes you ask? What prompted that?

Yeah. That was kind of in left field. Just because they are a Chinese company?

It's a reasonable question

Back from an awesome Lent dinner at the local taverna. It was amazing. I've never have octopus tentacles over French fries drenched in octopus gravy before but holy crap that was amazing.

Sounds delicious but needs some fresh squeaky cheese curds.

Edit: I think I've seen calamari poutine in Montreal before. Granted they'd put hot gravy and cheese curds on just about anything and declare it poutine.

Considering you can't buy the components in there for double the price you did well!

Very curious to see how it runs though. I apologize, but I bet it's a turd.

Sell it all for $30k and buy some gear that'll really fit and work in your environment

This place is very busy lately, very impressed

That was covered, he's not allowed to sell it.

Well that sucks

I'd need to spend a whole pile of cash just to get half that stuff into my server room, let alone the electrical!
