So, I was thinking to myself, who would buy a piece of shit newspaper like the USA today when the holy grail of print newsjournalism is right next to it?
Well, apparently fucking everyone. Not a single person has bought a NYT, all USA today. :( Enjoy your copy/pasted AP articles, idiots.

One major thing for me is the way CPR is depicted. Having been a boyscout and a lifeguard, I've sat through many hours of CPR training (although, admittedly, nothing recent, I should address that). It is so ingrained in me though that watching people do it horribly, horribly wrong just makes me squirm. Also, the fact that it almost always revives the victim is troubling, since it is *extremely* rare that CPR alone will restart someones heart. And of course nobody ever bothers to check for a pulse before they start (forcibly compressing someones still beating heart doesn't tend to help matters).

A local supplier quoted me last friday the following:
1x Windows SBS 2003 Premium: 1360 USD
4x Windows SBS 2003, 5 Cal: 2368 USD (i asked for the 20 cal pack, but they quoted 4x5 this instead)
For a grand total of 4361 USD (with taxes, 17% btw).
So, how is this software for SMALL BUSINESSES ?

I have a serious question for all those computer scientists out there. For someone who has zero programming experience, how realistic is it to learn programming and various languages completely from books and online resources? More specifically, can someone self teach themselves programming (for games) well enough to be employable?
I'm a firm believer of hard work and dedication, but just because I have the dedication and determination to do something, doesn't always make it possible.

I've never really been a fan of them. I bought a fuck load of them though at the farmer's market. The "farmer" selling them was obviously the daughter of some farmer and she was hot as hell so I bought 2 pounds of mini egg plants. I'm making egg plant curry right now but i'm pretty sure it's going to be disgusting.

I fucking hate how companies make you bounce through shitty websites just to talk to a human being. I got an email from Microsoft a few days ago about how they just charged my credit card for another year of xbox live. Well that credit card has been canceled for a year. How the fuck did they charge it? I spent 20 minutes - no shit - digging through billing.microsoft.com, support.microsoft.com, www.xbox.com just trying to find a contact page so I could ask that question. I had to surf through a dozen pages of "commonly asked questions" and "common troubleshooting problems". Hell finding the "billing issues" page was a quest for the holy grail in and of itself.
Here you list websites and/or companies that are motherfuckers when it comes to customer service.

My current hard drive is full.
It's a SATA drive, 1.5 GB/s (that sound right?) Anyways, I want to replace it with a larger drive, my question are as follows.
What drive should I get? and what should I use to copy the current contents of my drive over to the new drive? I'd prefer to not have to re-install windows xp.
Thanks!
(I just got from PT and will be in the shower then getting ready for work, so I won't be able to reply timely)

Anyone else who signed up well in time and still haven't received a key? :( I really hope they're not hating on me because I don't live in the US.
I know their site says they'll send out in batches, but it's been 24hours+ now... How many signups could they have?
