  1. i don't know what any of those are, not even Ubuntu. are they operating systems?
  2. nope, i worship on saturday (seventh day adventist). doing it right since 1844.
  3. that's going to be a problem, brewer. as it turns out, i'm a lifelong angels fan. i know very little about eliminating losers.
  4. okay, that does it. meet in the parking lot of the anaheim subway so we can settle this like men.
  5. okay, that does it. meet me in the parking lot of the santa anita INO so we can settle this like men.
  6. in my heart i know there was room in anaheim for both wynn and cust. and you know it, too.
  7. all i've learned from this thread is that we should've signed Jack Cust when we had the chance.
  8. We've been hearing for a while that new computers are coming next year for the teachers. In K-8 we've been using macbooks for the last 7 or 8 years, and they've held up very well. We're switching to the following: Dell Latitude 3350 with Ubuntu 16.04. I know absolutely nothing about it, but our tech guy has pushed for a windows-based system (he prefers linux) for the last few years. We're switching computers because it's time for us to have a newer system for the facutly. We're going with Dells because Macs are simply too expensive, and it appears they won't budge very much on their prices, even though we need to buy about 40 of them, so this comes with a cost factor. I've got quite a bit of saved work on my computer, all in mac format, and asked him about whether or not I'll have to convert it. He says we can use Google Drive to save all of our documents and then access them from our new Dells, and that the Google format will allow us to use the documents on any device. I'm not a fan of putting all of my work on Google. At a school, I have legit concerns about hackers trying to see what they can find. I also am not a fan of Google having access to all of my documents, tests, etc. 1. How concerned should I be about these issues? 2. How much work is it going to take to convert mac-based documents so that I can use them on a Dell? 3. Is Google Drive secure and trustworthy? I'd appreciate your help/advice about any of this. I'm reaching that point of being an old dog and this windows system is going to be a new trick. Talk to my like I'm an idiot if it'll help me understand more easily.
  9. extremely talented. has had a pretty terrific pro career. would be a great addition to the lakers.
  10. just covering all of our bases. imagine what the bail costs are for any of the florida schools . . . we could be looking at national debt kind of numbers.
  11. i think i'd enjoy going to a BC. the problem with that is it's always on a saturday and since that's my day of worship, i choose not to go. i usually have men's chorus rehearsal that day, as well. i'd be willing to drive down to del mar some random weekday this summer. let's work this out. GB, you wanna join us?
  12. so i need to be on the lookout for a cablanasian guy in a crappy car. got it.
  13. first time GS has lost two in a row this season, and i think the first time since the finals last year. they're in big trouble. TBS talking about how curry may be injured a lot more than we've been led to believe.
  14. pittsburgh comes through in the clutch, beating tampa bay on the road 5-2. solid game by the pens all around. i think this will be the first game 7 in the east this post-season. game 7s are always great.
  15. adam, let's go to santa anita sometime. i'd be curious to experience it with someone who knows what he's doing. GB, you can come along, too.
  16. we love free speech as long as you agree with our POV!
  17. this looks like a really good idea.
  18. build the crazy train from LA to las vegas and it'd be full every weekend. building it from LA to SF and i can't imagine it'll be very full at all most days.
  19. if you pay for the tickets, i'll drive.
  20. trump has a new ad that goes after bill. it features women who claimed bill treated them poorly while having affairs with them (or something like that). the clinton campaign responded by saying the allegations were more than 20 years old. stay tuned!
  21. i think people would have understood.
