The Dean

Everything good, then?

I have had a couple of problems with restoring files Mozy showed were backed up, but then they didn't have the right version backed up after all. Support is iffy and it sometimes takes a few calls up the chain to get things resolved. No disasters yet, but I am losing a bit of confidence in them.

When you say "everything" is on C, is there really nothing you need on D? If not, I think you can merge all of D into C using this: http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-...cdlPid=10982635 I haven't used this, so you may need to delete D, and then expand C to take up the unused space. This article explains how to remove the D drive in XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844

What's the OS?

I remember that bit.

Hey, thanks. I love to have another product to offer clients. I may even check this out myself. I'm not thrilled with Mozy, anymore. Don't hate it, mind you, but think it could/should be better. What's your take on the Desktop Edition?

And, if you can find a little extra scratch, this Rega P1 comes with an Ortofon cartridge and is $395 with free shipping. This would be the only TT you will need to buy, IMO, as it is good enough for most any system, really. Only if you decided to go really high end would you need to upgrade this TT, IMO. http://www.amazon.com/Rega-Turntable-Ortof...e/dp/B003BK4JCG

Yes, most are right and you should probably, at some point, upgrade to a better TT (preferably a belt-driven TT). But here's the answer to the question you actually asked: This is fine and good for the money: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-PL...e/dp/B00012EYNG AT actually makes a belt-driven TT that is a bit less expensive (not sure about the quality of the phono preamp on this one): http://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT-LP60-Aut...5855&sr=8-2 You aren't likely to find a high-quality TT at your price point..at least not a new one. The AT TT will do a decent job, though.

Eva is a babe! But Kim? Tell me you are joking.

My guess, too. Actually, lime jello has been known to register brainwaves: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2...-in-lime-jell-o

I'm kinda thinking Clip meant THIS Mary Travers, from WKBW.

No, no Wifey's World here. Must be a case of mistaken identity.

Nice. Thanks. BTW, you don't have to register at Imageshack, either. But it is good to have alternatives.

Not at all. I have no issue admitting I care for my old, and mentally failing, mother. It's a good son's job. I'd sure have a hell of a lot more fun if I didn't have to do it...but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't step up and do the right thing. Momma's Boy? If that's what you want to call me, I have no problem with that at all.

Sure, I know her.

Did I hit a little too close to home Jim? Are the authorities monitoring The Wall? I was actually just having some fun, but I think I may be on to something now.

RIP Manute. He seemed like a true humanitarian.

I always thought Jim was a right-wing gun nut who probably belongs to a militia.

Is this the Ignore Forum?

This is/was really my point. Some here think the situation has to be black and white (not racial). That is, either the cop was wrong or he did a great job. I think neither is probably the real answer here.

I should have mentioned how much I hate chick peas. I hate them in all of their given names and forms.

Go back and look again, and I think you will see who is playing the know it all, now. I answered LA much the same as you. To his question I replied I didn't say what you made was caponata, but that it can be served with toast like a caponata. And, of course, it is made with eggplant. Now, since you already responded in a reasonable way to LA about this very issue, you might have responded in a similar way to me. But as happens so often, you chose to be a prick. You should expect some blowback from that kind of attitude. There are few things worse than a bully who whines when confronted. I imagine you were a real joy to work with in the restaurant.

An interesting update on ATM Skimming: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2010/06/sophist...+on+Security%29

I'm not the biggest NBA fan, anymore but I watched a few playoff games this year including many in the final series. While I won't go point for point on your observations (some with which I agree), I will say this: Game 7 was not a good representative example of NBA play and certainly wasn't representative of playoff basketball. It was a particularly stinky crapfest.
