Urgh. I hate it when that happens!

So I was looking for some information videos on compute clusters and came across this somehow. This guy says "I build a super-fast computer for myself from the ground up about every two years. This is the 10th super-fast computer I have built using the latest high tech parts available." Oookkkaayyy then.
Here's a fun game, take a shot of your favorite liquor every time he says "bad boy."

Rolling out a new laptop to a VIP user who really works hard on his laptop. His old one is so busted up and yet functional I feel it deserves a state funeral complete with 21 gun salute for heroic services rendered above and beyond the call of duty.
E6400 for the record.

Watching The Vicar of Dibley, one of my all time favourite shows.

Just ordered a Remix Mini. Going to test it out and see how well it works as a desktop/thin client replacement.

Who knew you can't rent a car with a debit card... Wife is stranded in Philly and forgot her credit card.

She tried that both checkout counters refused to since the card said debit... it's a regular MasterCard...

Then charge them the ignorance fee. If they don't know what it's for... double it.

I was going to drive down and pick her up but she doesn't want me to. It's a 4 hour trip one way.

I was ready to go, had the keys and some sour patch kids (her favorite) when she called and said Budget would rent her a car and a different hotel had a room.

I knew that. That's very standard. Both in the US and abroad. There are exceptions but no normal place. They need a line of credit in case of accident or theft. Debit doesn't give them that.
If you ever need it in an emergency, National doesn't require credit BUT will do like a thousand dollar hold on your debit on top of the cost of the car.

From everything I've read about our debit card, it is/can be run as a credit card with MasterCard holding/backing the credit.
