My mom just moved into this brand new apartment. It's in a pretty nice part of town. I go visit her today and she tells me that 2 days after she moved in, a bunch of cars (including hers) got broken into in the underground secure parking. Fuck.
Just once, I'd love to hear some story about someone coming out to their car and finding some shitbag in the middle of breaking into their car and then proceding to beat the absolute shit out of them. Then call the police afterwards....and maybe the ambulance if they are feeling generous.

It's a great case so far. I can't believe how far enclosures have come in the last 4 years or so. There are so many options. This one is nice because it's very quiet, and has just enough personality (high-gloss black aluminum, blue LEDs) to look nice, but not riced-out. The more I looked at "crazy" cases the less I wanted to look at one daily.
Oh! I also found the best keyboard ever, that's tough to track down these days:

"Editing your digital images without the mystery"
"This is the first of a series of digital imaging guides I'll be doing that take the knowledge gained after years of banging my head against the Photoshop wall and put them together in a non-ouchy format for you to enjoy."
Feel free to post more guides, including video editing guides. Quite frankly, I really dug this article/guide because every other one I have ever read ... well has sucked. Its never a good mesh between step by step and theory.

The reason I ask is that I'm wanting to get in on the LCD hotness but my budget it limited. I've already got a 17 inch CRT I like but I really want to be rid of the other monitors I've got going on my desk. Does that $350 figure sound about right? The only Dell coupons going right now are on some of their desktop systems so I can wait around for the coupons to come up again for LCD's but I don't want to wait forever.

After recently checking out Ruby on Rails and creating some small apps in it, all I can say is WOW! I thought it was just going to another one of those do easy things instantly and hard things just as hard as always. But no, it simplifies the entire process of making a database driving web application.
Also, the Ruby language is much like python and does appear to support closures and functional elements as well as other super usefull things.
TLDR; I am jumping on the Ruby on Rails is invaluable bandwagon.

Now I have the mail servers settings correct, and I get my mail from both accounts BUT
1. Outlook prompts me for my comcast mailserver password every 40 seconds.
2. It launches 2 windows (one for my inbox, one for my personal work)
3. Takes 5 minutes to 'send/receive' (sits at 60% for most of that time), even if there are no email messages.
Do I need to set something up different?

The name of the first segment is Brain Beats. What sort of music am I gonna play? Well what the fuck is music anyway? I'm going to play nothing but fast, insane ass beats to fuck your face and ears in with for 2 hours. Please tune in and tell friends to tune in aswell. I will be playing some very rare and unreleased content.
Second segment is Brain Waves. I'll consider it somewhat of a recovery for both myself and my listeners (if any are left, lol). Nothing but beatless, soothing ambient. Spacey and calm. Tune in. That starts at 4AM CST and goes till 6am.
I've set up an IRC channel on irc.habber.net. Just join #radio.

Problem is, there are a few decent toyotas with low milage but all of them are autotragics. Seems toyota only imports 5 manual cars to the states every year. Honda however has a lot of manual civics and accords. The problem lies with insurance, Honda will be more expensive due to ricers and theft. I don't know what to do.
Halp!
