Always go with "mad skills" when describing Near Death Escapades™ on BF.

I have an old zip drive sitting at the back of a closet around here.

Getting fat sucks more. I need to go on a diet.

rjones28 

I thought you were already on a diet.

i fell off the wagon. My healthy mostly veg diet turned into a mostly fried food (but still mostly veg but fried) and ice cream diet.

Cooking with fire now, jack!

Ha ha. I remember when a friend had a cutting edge Zip drive - the storage was so cavernous that we decided to pull off a nerd heist; we snuck it in to our Mac lab at school and cloned one of the machines so that we could have PageMaker and Photoshop on our home computers. Ah, living dangerously for year book editors.

I think that I'm going to grill some steaks tonight if the weather holds out. Mmmmmmm.

make sure you have ice cream for desert.

WhyFi

I did that last night - salted caramel ice cream topped with marshmallows and chocolate covered almonds, drizzled with caramel and chocolate sauce. It was good, but I had to share.

Now that's some optimism!

pornographic in my opinion.

so i need to get a lot of high def photos and that would be impossible by email. my bro tells me i should use drop box and he can put the photos there for me. is it good?

Fried food and ice cream? Would kill my gastric system.

i exagerate but on the occasions when i have indulged, my stomach hurts like hell.

But the children they kill and other civilians do. Luckily other countries are now developing or have their own drones and deterrents so hopefully Obama and future Presidents won't be signing off on drone bombs so easily.
- It must be so surreal holding a controller and watching on a screen and then realizing, you just had killed people.

Not a fan of the pics on Facebook and social media of people asking for likes for a young woman or man who returned with missing limbs and severe injuries. Because I ask for whom did she sacrificed her leg for? For Halliburton? These young people, at 18, are they even able to to truly understand what they are sacrificing their lives for? Do they truly believe Afghanistan and Iraq were worth losing their leg? I don't know, but it's depressing.

I just can't imagine what it must be like to be told to kill another human being without a clear understanding why you have been ordered to. I would have to truly know what I'm doing is right and what I'm doing will protect my family and country.

This isn't WW I or WW II, or Civil War where I can understand why men all over were willing to sacrifice their lives.

Terrorists I can't condone and is scary someone can have that much hate. But killing them sure doesn't seem like a solution. It seems like a great way to foster more hate. Seems to me it just makes it easier for terrorist organizations to recruit and find financing. Believe BBC and others have been reporting Al Queda are financially stronger, have better resources and their recruitment is spreading.

It works well.

SendThisFile, and the like works OK, but the Drop Box type stuff is quite good, just limited by the space you are allowed.

zymphad

No to DropBox. Eww to Condoleeza Rice. Doesn't make much sense for a software company that wants to provide affordable, secure hosting would add someone who supported wiretapping, and spying on US citizens.

DropBox CEO suffering severe mental degradation?


Happy that Rutger University came to their senses and cancelled the war criminal's invitation.

I use dropbox a lot. Usually, the free service is just fine. Once a year, I need to distribute 8-10 video clips, each about 10 minutes long, all at the same time. That far exceeds the free service, so I pay. Once everything is delivered, I cancel the paid service. No issues. No sales pitches. There is a button that says "Cancel Upgraded Membership". Once you click that, it's done. They send you an email that says that I've paid through X date and the upgrade will be cancelled at that time.

One word of caution - I installed it on my wife's computer and she started getting popups pretty soon after. They were easy to get rid of, however, a quick googly tells me that I'm not the only one who had that happen to. Not widespread complaints, but the irony is too much for me to categorically dismiss.

Overall, it works well and I'd use it again.

Good ride today. We only had 5 riders. 47 miles, 100% fun.

She's also a doper. Look at those eyes. EPO written all over them. You can't tell me she would beat Cav in a sprint fair and square.

...possessing no mad skilz, I must depend on luck for personal preservation. Like the guy who jumped off the skyscraper, I'm good so far.

...is it the sharing that upsets you ?
