Wow, that post about the jacket thing was about week years ago. Anyway, I found an über jacket. Took me many, many hours as it seems every shop doesn't seem to have XS : (!!
Sucks to be a short Asian sometimes. Atleast when your very taller girlfriend puts your candy on a very high shelf x)!

I just don't like CC's... they are so overused and i really don't like emails where people just want to cc other people in on it so they don't feel left out.
This is like if you were on the phone and like... hang on, let me 3-way george over here so he can listen to our conversation...
I only CC when absolutely necessary.
what sort of example can you give to 'necessary' CC and un-necessary ones.
CCs are used a lot in the professional world.
You've never been in a situation where you are working on something with a team of people, and you're specifically talking to one member of the team but want the others to be able to observe it or provide input/feedback?

Yes, cc's are vital in business to communicate and keep everyone informed. It's the worst when some chowderhead claims they didn't get the information and therefore they're not accountable, but your group is still in a bind because of their neglect.
bcc's on the other hand are asking for trouble and are an underhanded way to deal with people. You never know who's being bcc'd, so go with the adage: reread what you write before hitting send.
My bitch: the weather and airline companies. I couldn't fly out on R&R today because of a dust storm at a remote location. So I call Expedia and they transfer me to the airline (United) and I find out they have this ridiculous policy that you can only change your ticket if you buy one level up of service. The next level up of service costs $1500 more, plus a $100 change fee, and still coach class. No thanks. I call up Expedia again and they check around and get me rescheduled for $270 more. So it will cost me almost a full day's work more for my plane ticket. And what's worse, tomorrow might be another bad weather day, so I would have to change my ticket again and pay more fees. I shouldn't gripe because it's pocket change, but money is money and I'd rather spend that $270 on a new monitor instead of lining the airline's pockets.

“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Replies to emails that had BCC recipients don't go to BCC recipients though.
I see people use this trick to mass-email notifications, where they put their own email address in the TO field, and then all the recipients in the BCC field. Not only does it keep the recipients' emails private, but it also allows them to reply to the notification without it getting sent to anyone except the original sender.

Is that standard for bcc or is it particular to email clients?

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
that's the whole point of BCC...it doesn't even end up in the recipients' email clients. It's physically impossible to reply a message to them.

Oh right, *bonk self*. I was thinking of another scenario concerning email.

Haha, I know! Sounds really wierd. She does that every weekend now and then when I don't give her so much attention. It's quite hard to do both the eating part and the latter.
If you do both, won't it turn into a very, very, very wierd food fetisch x)?

not a fetish... I mean, sticky things and...err affection dont really mesh that well.
SHIIIIIT! While I was running, I noticed a kind of annoying pressure near my groin area. I stop to check it out, and as it turns out, a pen that was in my pocket became pushed open, and lodged itself firmly into my upper groin area... after going to a doctor and getting it treated, I see that it left quite a large hole...really not sexy at all...

I have an intermittent shoulder problem where lifting my left arm above my shoulder at a certain range of outward angles causes excruciating pain. It's not frequent but there's no telling when it'll happen. It started again tonight and it hurts to lift a can of ice tea to my mouth. I have no idea what triggers these episodes of restricted movement or how they end. They just seem to come and go unnoticed.
I should probably go see a doctor the next time it happens after I move back home. I don't even know if it's diagnosable when it's not acting up.
Since you're not seeing a doctor anytime soon, try to keep a diary of it. When it attacks, right down things like what you were doing at the time, what you were doing perhaps an hour prior to it. The time of day and season it was, any medication you had recently. Some joint pains are supposedly related to humidity, so maybe if it was raining recently, and so on.
Some stuff sounds really irrelevant and stupid, but it can actually turn out to be important. That's about all you can do now before seeing a practitioner.

bit the bullet and went w\ time warner cable since apparently we have nowhere to put a dish....
they installed it last night and they have a splitter that the cable goes into, one goes to the dvr box the other to the modem....
their whole ''customer support'' process sucks and I don't have time to spend on the phone w\ them.. it took me 10 minutes of my 15 minute break just to get the guy to comprehend that they work independently, but not together... then he forwarded me to hold and I don't have time to wait on hold
*got home for lunch and power-cycled the modem and router and it came up and worked fine... i just hope that is something i'm going to have to do every day for it to work right.*

Yea, but I have a possibly hot date this weekend...might be hard to explain...SHiiiiiT
oops...wrong post...sorry
Any idea what caused the injury? It would be cool if it were sports-related, cause then it's something of a war trophy, like scars and stuff.
My bitch: downloading torrents on Comcast while they apply traffic shaping to my connection. When shaping/throttling isn't occurring, I get 100-300kBps per torrent. When their damn sandvine box is running, I get 10-20kBps per torrent. I have limited time to complete these downloads while I'm at home on vacation, then it's back to the desert where all bandwidth usage is monitored and bt and p2p is restricted. I can't wait until I go to uni where hopefully their campus connection doesn't restrict p2p use.

Or if they do, just encrypt the traffic.

I've been reading up on encryption and ssh tunneling but haven't bothered to mess with it since I'm only in town a couple weeks. I've read in a few instances that it didn't help, as some traffic shaping appliances will still throttle your connection if it thinks you're transferring bt, regardless if they actually detect the presence of bt in your data transfers.
