Former Miss Argentina dies from cosmetic surgery
What a way to go.
I'm glad I decided to grow old gracefully.

The Outpost Cafe / Looks bad for Saab
« on: November 24, 2009, 06:48:21 PM »
Koenigsegg backs out of Saab deal
Worst car I ever owned was my 74 Saab 99. Still I hate to see the brand go by the wayside, and that looks like a real possibility.

The Outpost Cafe / Great reviews of laptop accessory
« on: November 22, 2009, 05:38:35 PM »
Every once in a while you come across a product so bad that people start writing funny reviews about it.
Here's one: Laptop Steering Wheel Desk
Just read the reviews.
Some of the comments on the reviews are great too.

Couple Busted for Refusing to Pay Tip
A mandatory gratuity? Someone needs a dictionary.
If it was clearly posted that the charge was mandatory, the pub may be technically correct, but still I hope the dirtbags get sued out of business.

The Outpost Cafe / I need a little computer help
« on: November 16, 2009, 11:20:31 PM »
Unfortunately my 3 1/2 year old desktop is toast, it needs a new motherboard and the parts and labor will be as much as buying a new one. Only problem with that (besides the expense) is that I still need XP for a few important things.
I'd like to get my old 2001 Sony Vaio running again but I screwed it up a few months ago. I was going to lend it to neighbors after their computer pooped out. I used a shred program to delete personal financial info and it managed to delete something in the OS (XP Home) which was on the same partition. Now, a regular boot says it can't load the OS. Boot from the Sony Recovery Disk starts the process but then gives a "disk access:sense operation failed" message. Trying to get into Safe Mode gets an error code that something in the BIOS can't be loaded.
If I can get a regular XP Home installation disk instead of the Sony proprietary disks, would that possibly help? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm trying to avoid an expensive repair on an outdated computer.
Thanks for any advice (other than telling me to get a Mac).

The Outpost Cafe / Next Song Syndrome
« on: November 09, 2009, 02:21:49 PM »
I've never heard of the author before, just saw this article linked at another blog: Next Song Syndrome
If this is a "syndrome" then I have it too, even on my iTunes playlists. Anyone else?

The Outpost Cafe / Missing any luggage?

Couple stole 1,000 pieces
...airlines stopped checking passengers' baggage claim tickets there sometime in the last 10 years as a cost-cutting measure.
That worked out well, didn't it?
