Who needs terrorists when we have Dell?
Montblack wrote: ("Robert M. Gary" wrote) I see another Dateline special coming up "And now an episode you won't want to miss, before you fire up your laptop, know that you may DIE, watch Dateline at 9 to see how". These days, 98.486% of all TV "news" can be viewed on a par with the likes of: Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, A Current Affair, Hard Copy, Inside Edition, etc, etc, etc. I no longer watch TV news either. I tend to get my news from The Wall Street Journal. Seems to be the more reasonable publication. -Robert |

Vaughn That's already been studied. There was a report last year maybe that said men using laptops in their lap have a lower sperm count. |

Understandable since they need to be a couple of degrees cooler than the rest of the body... So, when you see a guy on a plane with a laptop in his lap, does it get you all hot and bothered? dirty-old-man-grin |

Oh, I'm sorry, did that sound too much like I hate children? (I've been told hating children is unattractive) |

wrote: Oh, I'm sorry, did that sound too much like I hate children? (I've been told hating children is unattractive) Nawh, it's not... Grace originally said that she didn't like kids... That definitely attracted me to her... Turned out that the biological clock started ticking and then it became, "Well, I just want *one*"... Kaitlyn is now nearly 12 and I suspect that it's been nearly 12 years since I've had any peace, quiet, or privacy in my life... I can still just barely remember being able to do the things that we wanted to do on the weekends... Being able to take vacations when and where we wanted to go without concern for some stupid ass school's schedule... Being able to consider buying a house because we liked the design instead of what ****in' school district it was in... Damn, I should have gotten clipped and just let Grace think I was shooting blanks... The only thing that makes life bearable is when I end up on contract so far out of town that I don't have to see them for a couple of months... A recruiter contacted me this week for a 6+ month contract up in Philly... Damn, I hope I get that contract... I need the peace and quiet of a high pressure job away from home... Basically, I'm dying a slow death of estrogen poisoning here... http://grumman581.googlepages.com/leadingcauseofdeath |

So, if you are flying and your laptop catches fire, how do you put it out? Halon is no good for class D fires. |

So, if you are flying and your laptop catches fire, how do you put it out? "I was so scared I pee'd my pants" might be a useful first step. Halon is no good for class D fires. Will Halon work, when transitioning Class D airspace? Montblack |
