i know it's been 2 years in the works but a little piece of me just died on the inside...

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) The only thing for me is the E-Mail Scanner. It disables it after you restart the computer. Not a big deal to click "Activate" though. You're having that problem, too? Glad I ain't the only one. I just started happening a few weeks ago out of the blue... The other issue I have is any time there is a pop-up (update, scan) it opens it up like in the background of the os so you have to click a windows pop-up to get to it and then click back when you're done. I've just gotten to the point where I just x out of the window pop-up and ignore the avg pop-up (they take care of themselves anyway)... Those were the issues I was speaking of and although they're slightly annoying, they're manageable from a free program that does a really good job...

Thirded. There are a couple minor issues with it and Vista, though...

Have worn Drakkar Noir for years. Have tried others but keep going back to it. Started wearing it since when I was a kid and overheard my sister's college friends saying how nuts they went for the stuff. Get compliments all the time...

Have a Toshiba A135-S4427. Intel Core Duo Processor T2250 1.73GHz, 1 GB RAM (Expandable to 4 gig. I plan on adding a gig or 2 soon), would have to buy adapter or card if wanted bluetooth & bottom end graphics (not a gamer so not much of an issue for me). Haven't had many problems with it and would recommend to anyone if specs suit their needs. Bought mine for $750 4+ months ago. Can get one now for $600-700. Got a laugh when doing a search saw that HSN was selling this laptop for $1,050--when this model first came out it was only supposed to sell for $900 IIRC.

Hopefully Seitzer can land on his feet. The guy's from my hometown. He didn't like me too much after I had him sign a card with a pic of him getting nailed by a pitch w/ Milwaukee and got injured...

Another AMAZING finish at Daytona! Glad to see it was McMurray who came out on top out of the two. That finish help me to get over Jr.'s horrible night a bit...

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 08:36 PM) I am satisfied with the penalties, although I do think they should have been harder on CK as he seems to get one of these a year. Agreed. Didn't like the penalty when they gave it to Jr. until I read where they already spelled out what messing with the COT will get you, so seeing them hand down the same penalty to Jeffy and Jimmy is gratifying. CK should be out for about 12 wks with all the crap he's pulled over his career. I am still pissed, too, about the penalty (or more accurately, the lack thereof) given to Kurt Busch in comparison to the penalties given the 8, 24 & 48 for COT infractions...

Haha, dad won't be allowed to qualify this weekend in Sonoma as his and Jimmy's cars failed inspections. Will start at back of pack...

Ella Sofia Gordon was born this morning. Dad will qualify for and race this weekend... Also, possible new sponsors for Jr. being talked about. Pepsi & Monster Energy drink (has deal w/ JR Motorsports) are the names being talked about right now. Adidas might be another possibility w/ Jr. in talks w/ them regarding a clothing line of some sort...

I'm hoping that Theresa realizes how big of a hit she's taken with all that's gone on, whether deserved or not, and makes the good PR move of switching the 8 with the 5/25. Who knows, maybe Kyle signs with DEI and they switch so Kyle can have his number and Jr. his...

As an Earnhardt fan, I don't mind him driving for Hendrick if it nets him a championship. My dislike was never for Hendrick but for 3 of his drivers (Gordon, Johnson, Busch). My opinions of his new teammates won't change, it just means I'll see a bit more of them in relation to Earnhardt. Maybe now the idiot faction of our fanbase will stop throwing crap at Gordon's car. It's going to take some getting used to seeing Jr. in the 25. Good thing I put off getting that 8 tattoo...

Tomorrow morning we shall finally know with whom Junior is racing with in '08. My guess and hope is that it'll be with Gibbs. I've seen reports today where Hendrick is still a possibility, Ginn is out & Childress is supposed to be out of the country 'til Thursday, so looks like they're out, too. SPEED will be covering the press conference tomorrow at 10 CT.

apparently using the wrong brackets on the cot is the same as just about hitting someone else's crew member...

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) new to this - can someone explain to me the differences between the Busch series and the Nextel Cup series? Pretty much -- Busch=minors, Nextel=majors...

This is the biggest joke NASCAR has told in a long time. Eury Jr. getting 6 race penalty (a penalty the 48 had to work up to) for his first major infraction (whether intentional or not) is just sad...

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 11, 2007 -> 07:35 PM) I was never a big laptop guy, well, up until today at least. I won a Toshiba A135-S4527 as a prize for winning a business competition at ESPN Zone and I must say, being able to use a computer just about everywhere is pretty damn awesome. I'll now be able to take a PC and a laptop with me to college this fall. The differences in keyboards and pointer is what always turned me off about them so hopefully I can get used to it. Nonetheless, a free laptop with Vista and all the bells & whistles is much better than a $800 PC. I have the 4427. Had to pay for mine though. You'll be pleased with it...

Hey all. Bought a new laptop and in process of transferring everything over I lost the folder with everything I've done for the boards...

books. not much of a reader it's just that they're usually that much more expensive...

posting just to see what my own post count is...

i did telemarketing for 7 months in college and hated it. i used to love it when people would just simply hang up and i'd usually try to put it as a do not call back if i wasn't being watched (wasn't supposed to do that). i also liked it if people knew enough to immediately say to take them off our calling list when i started my whole intro. about the only thing that would make me give you the runaround is if you started yelling at me. i'm personally not the one who called you before (it's all random who calls who and the probability it was me is very, very low) and have no control over that and i, like most people, hate being yelled at, so yelling at me is pretty pointless and you will go nowhere with that. there are times you need to be an ass. i knew of a few dicks where i worked who got a rise out of pestering people, but in general i'd say use yelling as a last resort. if you tell them 'no' or 'i'm not interested', if that person is doing their job you will be rebuttalled 2+ times. the best method is to simply just to tell them to take you off their calling list. it will get you off the list of calls for that particular product from that call center. companies (visa, discover, amex, etc.--you're mostly probably called about a credit card) usually don't do the telemarketing themselves--they hire out to telemarketing companies--so don't go thinking you'll never get a call again from visa again...
