  1. Judging by the votes.... I guess you're leaving? Bye! Cya 'round a DZ sometime. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  2. Thanks for reminding me. I need to go buy tickets. Slayer, Megadeth, and Testament on Aug 31. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  3. LOL, I forgot all about that one. Thanks! Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  4. I'm not even sure how that is relevant to the topic, but it's been a while. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  5. That is exactly how I feel. You hit the nail on the head. And Quade - yes Boss...no more whining here. I am very glad I have a job. For the other questions: Yes, I have been with the company full time for 5 years. Actually a month ago was 5 years. I don't exactly love what I do, but I love the pay and flexibility and exposure to new technologies. If it was easy to switch jobs, I probably would, but as most of you know it is difficult out there. I have gotten raises before with this company, one 10% raise that I can remember, a few 5-7%, and they do give a nice 10-15% yearly bonus. My boss did say that "not everyone" got a raise, so that makes me feel a bit more valued and maybe that's the best they can give. Maybe others got 1%.... I don't know the answer that question. Ok, done whining. I feel better. Thanks all! My personal view is that while giving no raise at all would be understandable in today's economy, giving a 2% raise is in fact insulting. I know that sounds contradictory but the message that comes across from the two actions is very different. Giving no raise at all sends the message that, hey, the company still struggling and simply cannot even think about raises this year. Giving a 2% raise sends the message that the company is doing well enough to give raises, thought long and hard about what this particular employee is worth, and decided he/she was worth only a 2% raise. Definitely a big slap in the face. Be glad you still have a job but be even gladder when you find another one and can kiss these folks goodbye. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah!

  6. Thanks guys, you really made me look at this in a different light. I am grateful, just took things for granted and didn't look at the bigger picture. Again, keep the comments coming, they really make me feel like such a jerk for thinking that way. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

  7. Yah, just got pulled into my boss's office and told I get a 2% raise. Yippee! or.. WTF? Personally, I'm insulted. But I'll take it. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  8. I loved Trig in college, but hated Calculus. Remembering SOHCAHTOA helped me out many times Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  9. Call me Mr. Flintstone, I can make your bed rock. Stolen from Lil Wayne's song, but when I heard it I was impressed with the originality. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  10. Tomatoes have seeds? I never noticed before. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  11. I've downloaded a ton of Dell drivers over the years and they usually come in a compressed form. If you downloaded it to your desktop and then opened it, it should do one of two things. 1. Extract all the drivers to a subfolder on your desktop. You'll have to look on the desktop to see if there was a new folder created. 2. Ask you where to extract. In that case, just type in c:\temp as the easiest path to remember. Now do 1 of two things: 1. Open the folder where the files were extracted to. Dell usually provides an executable file with their drivers. Run the executable (setup.exe) and it will install the drivers. Reboot. 2. Using device manager, find the device with the yellow exclamation mark or red x probably called "ethernet controller" and right click - choose properties/update driver. Then choose the path where you extracted the drivers. Let windows do it's thing and then reboot. There's really no other options - it's windows after all. :) If that fails then I would call up Dell and ask them. It would be worth the 50 bucks or whatever their out-of-warranty support call costs to get this fixed rather than buying a new computer. Edit: Oh and yes, BTW, I own a mac and several PCs, some still running great on XP and no plans to upgrade any time soon. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

  12. I pay about $126/mo for two lines with ATT. One iPhone and one LG Vue that has live TV. I do get a 22% discount on the iphone base rate though through work. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  13. Check here for more info. Repost, BTW. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3716208 Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  14. I've never heard it done this way when moving domains/hosts. Usually the new host will send either the technical contact or the administrative contact an email asking for authorization to move. If your email is not listed as one of those, then go to the registrar and have it changed. I have all my domains set to "anonymous" mode so the contact info is bogus. But if I want to change domains/hosts I just have to unhide my info so I can reply to the emails. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

  15. True, but I have a son who is a complete angel. I never let him act out and he never does. My word is law, and if he steps outta line I bust his ass. Works great. I agree and my son is the same way. At just 23 months, he's a little shit sometimes. But you have to pick your battles and inside a restaurant isn't the best place. And don't get me wrong here fellas... I'm not saying that the best course of action it to let the kid scream and holler all he wants - I put a stop to that immediately with my own kid. I'm just saying that giving advice about parenting without any prior experience...is like telling someone how to skydive and being a whuffo. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  16. how about....no That's fine by me. Just don't tell me how my parenting skills suck-ass due to your oh-so-excellent knowledge and experience. BTW, this wasn't directed at you - just in general to people that have an opinion about parenting without first-hand experience. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  17. This thread is pretty damn funny. The bottom line is - if you don't have kids of your own...STFU! You don't know or realize what it's like to be a parent. You may think you do - but you have no clue. I used to think the same thing when I was childless. "Shut that fucking kid up or...." Have a child..or two... you'll think differently - guaranteed.

  18. The very first thing and probably the most important thing I look for... They didn't address the letter/mail directly to you. ex: Hello Sir. Dear Madam... or just Dear , as in your example. If anything legit were to be sent to you (the OP), it would be addressed directly to you and reference your name, account #, or something tangible that you would recognize. Butthead: Whoa!

  19. Negative, it is not me. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump

  21. Everytime I see Weeeeeee... it reminds me of this video: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/weeee Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  22. I was out there when that happened. It was very scary to watch, but glad they weren't pissed off at each other. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  23. Try looking up Bill Booth, the inventor of the 3-ring system. I'm sure he'd be interested in your ideas and even getting them to market quicker than yourself alone. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  24. I've spoken to Catherine, one of Ken's close friends and she told me of the funeral service for Ken: Tuesday, July 7th 2PM Creekside Church 444 Figtree Lane, Martinez, CA Please contact her for further information about the service. 925 207 0290 cdlemings@homail.com She asked me what type of service it should be and I told her that the ones I have been to had some videos and pictures of the person as well as music that they may have liked. If you have further suggestions (those that knew Ken well) please contact her. Blue Skies Ken! Please don't post this to Facebook as it will show up on Ken's page and some family hasn't been notified yet. cx to NCS Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

  25. Definitely a very good job! When I posted earlier telling you that you needed more, I was under the impression you were giving them away, not selling them. So, did you have any left over?
