HR: "Dunno who they all vote for, but they allowed fundraising for the Gosnell movie being written by Andrew Klavan..."
Right, I recollect that now. Thanks, HR.
Subjects: Andrew Klavan, digital future, finances, politics
Anyone know if IndieGoGo is any less left-leaning than Kickstarter and GoFundMe?
"Mini usb to usb"
Well, sure, if you want to do it the easy way...
I took a cell cam pic of the sunrise, trying to capture the layers of rising fog, trees on the horizon, layers of red and purple in the sky.

OM: "Black diamonds? I don't see any black diamonds? Do you?"
On another browser on another computer they show up as little boxes. No less annoying, of course.
Gem: "I copied and pasted from the post and Pixy no like it"
Commenters who don't want 500 errors (and AHEM! post bloggers who don't like black diamonds):
Oh, Maaaan! Radio Shack is going to sell my personal information from when I bought my first computer from them in New Mexico in 1978! Dang!

Louis Hu: "Who needs a TRS-80 running CP/M and Lotus 1-2-3?"
Not me. My TRS-80 Model I does fine on NewDOS and VisiCalc....
Timon: "...a windows machine that won't let me open any programs..."
To start with, have you tried a cold reboot?
The little black diamonds with question marks - they're black holes that suck my attention away from the text. Didn't that supervillain Eclipso use a black diamond? They're evil!
So, the new tablet continues to puzzle me. Plugged in overnight, it still has the red light of charging and won't power up. Again. Wish I knew if it's a tech problem or an operator failure.
Maetenloch: "Sounds like a well-known scam."
Just a drive-by as I pass through on my way to retiring. Thanks for the post, Maet. Never ever saw Addams Family set in color before. Wow.
No clue in the article why this article is locally datelined, but that's why it showed up in my newsfeeds.
SarahW, you can use those Unicode characters on here (maybe) if you pre-wash your message here:

The hacker should have added the videos of Barnhardt burning the Koran.
Morning, Glories. At least it's struggling to be morning, here in the middle of America. And I'm struggling to be awake for it.
Still just this thread? I'll find more things to do.
Oh, joy: Day 2 and the new tablet has become a dead brick. That's what I get for thinking I could improve anything in my life.
Thanks, grammiewinger. I dislike the low end of the learning curve, which is where I am with this new toy.

Congratulations on your new toy!
This is the baptismal comment for my new computer.
Moviegoers get to their feet and sing God Bless America before seeing The Interview in Atlanta
Pete: "…IE won’t load… Firefox is having problems with plugins…"
As a super-genius level computer technician, I recommend rebooting the computer.
On Saturday, I left a comment that I was a day late mentioning the anniversary of the Berlin Wall. Sunday, all the blogs had articles about it. I was a day early. Oops.
My Best Guess as a Computer Genius (!), as I said, is that the comments initially got spam-filtered because there were three links to the same site.
Long time ago, I wrote a little utility to mine AoS comments for my nic, and variants. Sometimes it catches replies made after I quit reading a thread, among other purposes.
"This one's for Mindful" D'aww, Pete! :)
I certainly did fail to close that tag. My comment overfloweth with Italians. As they say on Ace of Spades.
