    commmmplainnnnt - the recovery disks i paid 57 bucks for defective

    oscar meyer gulfff  i keep getting stuck on disk4, so i compared it to disk3 from other pc,  apparently the ini file spposed to have model and disk index#, the ini file on disk4 is empty!!!!  whiskey tango foxtrot

    i only have 2 write able dvds on hand.  i can try to fix the empty ini file and burn to new dvd.  but if they hid files, this isn't going to work.  there's a 5th disk.  only one shot at completing this tnite.  after 10:pm  why oh why this happens to me.  need buppy hugs 

    A couple of us advised you against paying for any fixes for something you already paid for that should work out of the box.  Stop killing your budget and sanity with this and complain to the original place of purchase...before it's too late!

    usbs and hdmi send power down the cables.  i have one usb hard drive that has 2 usb ports on the cable, it needs the extra juice.

    My point is that you paid for a complete computer with Windows installed.  What you got is not what you paid for.  Don't spend more money on it, get your money back and get something from a reputable dealer.  Especially if you used a credit card, you should do this before the protection period is over!

    ...white holes are effectively the opposite of black holes and theoretically exist in the "past" whereas black holes exist in the "future". So if they collided would they be in the 'now"?

    Sounds like your company didn't shop around much themselves...or they just went with a really crappy plan that they didn't have to invest much into.

    ...

    It's an unregulated greedy conspiracy/competition between the medical industry, doctors, lawyers and insurance companies.  The US has the most expensive medical costs in the world, but medical care quality ranks well below many smaller and poorer countries.  Heaven forbid one should break one's leg without insurance, there goes the new car!

    Yes, I did get it.  Then I got distracted searching for a friend of ours I had not seen or heard from in 2 days.  Found him in a local hospital.  Not good.  Tomorrow is our annual Kite Festival, 20% chance of rain.  SXSW starts the 11th.  In addition to the usual madness, the Prez and Mrs. will be in town.  Harry the Horse is now installed in my Library and works.  Got a purchase to complete over at Dana's site.  The bus to the hospital only runs every 65 minutes, so I'm looking for a car to steal.  Not to worry, this is the way I ramble with only 1 cup of coffee.

    ...nope, the company I used to work for did a similar thing. To save money they went with a cheaper more bare bones plan with a high deductible, lower copay, high "out of pocket" limit and pretty much only covered expenses if something happened.So if you already had arthritis or were a diabetic, you were on our own for those expenses as they were considered "pre-existing" before enrollment (status on our former plan did not carry over). 

    Our previous plan was incredible as it had only a 450$ deductible generous copay and also offered many preventive medicine programmes that were free. I actually was able to have a Naturopath as my PCP who was wonderful. When the company changed carriers I couldn't remain with her as the new plan was affiliated with a different competing centre. Fortunately health coverage was not mandatory back then so I just opted out and went without. The monthly premium employees had to pay for the new coverage was actually a few dollars more than the one we previously had.

    We had snow today -- for ten whole minutes! It was a real blink and you've missed it affair. Nevertheless, it's the only snow we've had all winter!

    Back in around '88 or '89, the company I was working for seconded me to a new office in Dallas for three months. It was a strange experience for a young Englishman. Hot weather. sunshine. The Cowboys cheerleaders. not being able to buy beer without driving halfway across the country, yet everyone had a gun. Kids with guns. Cops with guns. Picking up blister packs of ammo in the supermarket along with the cornflakes. Cars that you need a taxi to get from the drivers seat to the passenger seat (I don't think they'd even fit on our roads!). But the weirdest thing of all was the roadrunner that chased the car every morning to the office. Meep meep.

    You have to understand, this was a creature that only existed in cartoons as far as I was concerned. I simply had no idea they were real!

    we're used to determinism but what if physics suddenly changed? Back in the day there was beliefs that different parts of the world had different physics, for example geography ran out and you fell off tge edge of the world :)
