What? Looking for this thread? Getting new laptops are pain in the ass because I'll have to install bunch of applications all over again.

I also hate to waste $$$ on an old machine. That's why I always buy extra batteries when new. Well, they are all dead now. This stinks.

I know where you are and yes - it is kinda remote lol. I remember driving thru southern Jorjuh to Jekyll Island and actually getting a little scared - "deliverance" kinda scared lol

Yeah the traffic does blow but I grew up in Philly and traffic always sucked so I guess I dotn mind it as much. What I DO mind is the way no one seems to anticipate anything down heah..........you know you are going to turn - should you MAYBE change lanes beforehand???

My only complaint about restaurants is their cheapness with the napkins. One, super cheap paper napkin per person is ridiculous! Sheesh.

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques
Dick Cheney has recently threatened to not cooperate with a Justice Department probe. Since we are in a time of war and they are trying to find out information of national security, would enhanced interrogation techniques be appropriate?
