PC People [no Macs need apply] -

Should I go 32 bit for my next box, or 64 bit?

We made Mark's a 64 in the last upgrade, and it was too soon. Has the tech proven itself now?

Notes? Comments?

I'm waiting with much hope for the future after Feb 2010, when some underdog credit card will start recruiting new accounts under the new rules. This is a golden opportunity for a new business. If I had any savvy at all, I'd be taking it up.

Somebody out there will offer us relief from all the current bullshit that is raining down from the credit industry. And when that offer comes, I and my sterling credit are going to be RIGHT THERE for them. Sign me up!

I listen to KBAQ. They are mostly music, classical of course, with some ATC and local news lightly mixed in. Mark listens to KJZZ, which plays less music, and fills it's schedule with all sorts of programs.

Like this one:

Michael Feldman's Whad'ya Know

We tuned in while the show was in progress, so maybe I missed some sort of disclaimer. But I'll never know, because we turned it off less than ten minutes later.

My email to their addy:

We turned off your show today [12.12.09] around 12:10 because we found the 'humorous' commentary about the city you were broadcasting from egregious and racist.

Blacks, whites, Jews, Indians, were you trying to offend everybody at once? Worked for this listener.

The HA HA Radio Morning Show Mentality comment screen following my submittal of this missive does not inspire any confidence that they will hear what I said.

Thanks for Your Comments!
Our crack staff reads every single one of them!
Of course some get filed away in the Great Ideas Jar for later reference.
And some get used as scratch paper.
And really nasty ones are forwarded to the FBI.
But the really good ones like yours actually get answered!
Thanks Again!

Do you have to work very hard to be this unfunny? Esp. after being offensively racist?

So what now?
(a) drink all the beer in the fridge
(b) go to bed
(c) all of the above

Fine Line

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy you little baby.
When you wake, you shall have cake,
And all the pretty little horses.


Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
Go to sleepy you little baby,
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby,
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.

Way down yonder, down in the meadow,
There's a poor wee little lamby.
The bees and the butterflies pickin' at its eyes,
The poor wee thing cried for her mammy.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have cake,
And all the pretty little horses.

Liked this piece:

Lute Suite No 4 BWV 1006
Johann Sebastian Bach
SOLO David Russell, guitar,
Telarc 80290

Have to say I am not impressed with KBAQ not letting listeners cut and paste from the playlist. Because I might be plagiarizing their content if I want to do a search for this piece on Lute or something.
Gah.

Mark is in a chat room in a multi-player game that is 13+. The discussion has turned to teens smoking weed... this kid is an idiot. He's in AZ, and is taking, in detail, about how his bro gets weed from his manager, and smuggles it in from CA, etc, etc.

But my query is other... One of the other players popped into the convo long enough to drop the note that Luke has a verse forbidding weed.

OKAY. So the internet is not giving me anything helpful. It's in Luke, and Jesus is supposed to be talking to strippers. Anybody out there know the Chapter and Verse?

I'd love to know:
a - what is really said
b - if it is actually Jesus speaking.

Some help?
