^ Want. Still have my commuter Trek torn apart in the basement, waiting on cables/housing. May have the derailleur hanger aligned (did get it very close, but don't have the proper tool for doing it.) I screwed a spare wheel into the der. hanger and measured from the rim of that to the rim of the actual wheel. It had been off quite a bit when I first got the bike. Finally starting to get nice enough to consider riding here.

I had saved/put off watching the season finale until last night. It did not disappoint! It will be interesting to see what they might do for Season 2, even though it hasn't been announced by HBO yet. Given the critical acclaim and viewer numbers, I would be surprised if it is not picked up for another season. Matthew McConaughey has already said he would not return, but since it is an anthology, that is no surprise.

Thanks guys! I was going to try the free version of logmein, but think I will try this first. Cheap is good

Any recommendations on how and what to get to do remote admin / etc. on my Mom's Mac Mini? Neither my brother or I have been to my mom's since Christmas, and trying to talk her thru some steps over the phone the other day was painful. Plus she is still having a problem with mail and I can't tell what is going on. Having something for my brother or I do take control of her Mac (using another Mac) would be quite helpful. All machines are running OSX Mavericks. Thanks!

Happy Birthday!

This was a month ago, wifi on a 5th gen Airport Extreme: And tonight, same setup:

was thinking about the sugois... from what I read, these run small, hope you ordered accordingly L

Happy Birthday Nate!

Yeah, that sucks. As with both of you, I didn't always agree with him, but I guess different thoughts/perspectives have their place.

Happy Birthday Naaman!

Yeah, saw this today, very sad. I always liked his drollness and sense of humor. RIP.

Happy belated Al!

Happy Birthday Dan!

Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ed!

Yes, that is very nice work Birgir!

This. For a northerner who has lived in the south, driving on ice just ain't happening, no matter how much experience you have. Well, experience does help, but not that much Without plows/salt trucks, the just ain't happening phrase does come to mind, and that is after driving thru a snowstorm here when they were running low/out of salt. Stay safe!

Hmm, problems with lead-free ball grid array (BGA) devices? Hope you are lucky and this isn't it. RoHS should be repealed IMHO as I think it causes more landfill clutter (from people pitching failed devices) and the lead in electronics devices isn't nearly as much of a problem as they seemed to think at the time.

Happy Birthday Jeff! Hope you have a great one!

^ Glad to hear it Dan! Agreed. This one is the suckiest winter I can recall since moving to Chicago in the late '80s.

^ Yeah, ice sucks. Stay safe guys. We got maybe 4" so far, made the drive into work really slow. Had to jump my son's car to move it last night (needs a battery), and a cop gave him a ticket yesterday for it being parked in the cul de sac for days. Put the car in the driveway last night, had to jump it this morning and put it back out on the street. Will replace the battery tonight. Love how he waits for the best days for these things

That rack from amazon didn't look too bad particularly for the price posty...

^ Replace the battery? We were just at the Apple store yesterday looking at MBPs for our younger son. The guy that was waiting on us told us that the Retina display models could not be upgraded (RAM or SSD). After doing some reading online (Macbook Pro: Taking the Pro out of the equation), I'm having doubts about wanting to buy one of these. Didn't help that the sales guy kept saying that these were "solid state machines". I didn't realize they ever built any with tubes. Found a different sales guy. Apple is starting to look more like B&O in the audio world to me... Did look at the Mac Pro, and it is cool. The 2nd sales guy highlighted and launched every application that was installed on it in under 30 seconds... pretty cool. We did buy a Mac Mini (4Gb/1T 2.4G i7) from the refurb store on Friday night to replace my G5 PowerMac.

Happy Birthday!
