  - hmm, i thought it was free, I see a mention of the family plan. - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:30 1
    - Both. The free version does local or family/friend backups. The paid is for their online service -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:30

unsalted mcdonalds fries = still not as good as wendys fries, but at least more edible than salted mcdonalds fries -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:14 24
- just get the apple slices like good lil boy -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 25, 12:26
- This must be some crazy Canadian version of the fries. McD fries are best salted but the new Wendy's sea salted fries are #1 - oblique Jan 25, 12:15 20
  - I agree with this 100%. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:23
  - You were doing great until you got to wendy's. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:20
  - I totally agree. I've always liked them the best, but the seasalt gives them a better/different flavor. -- nm - Trish Jan 25, 12:20 16
    - When I first heard, I was like Sea Salt? WTF? And then I tasted and it was all "oooh, yummy. More?" -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:20 15
      - The fries actually made me stop going to Wendys -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 12:21 14
        
        The distance is what made me unable to go to wendys. It's at least a 17 minute walk each way. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:23 13
        
        A whole 17 minutes?!? - Krusty Jan 25, 12:27
        
        oh come on, that's not a big deal. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:25 10
        
        It is when your lunch is only 1 hr or less. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:26 9
        
        Fair enough. It would suck to lose half your lunch hour just walking to get food. - Krusty Jan 25, 12:28 3
        
        walking is relaxing. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:29 2
        
        sure when it isn't minus 20 C -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 12:30 1
        
        he lives in BC. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:30
        
        34 minutes walking, 10 minutes ordering/buying, 16 minutes to eat. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:27 4
        
        In other words, not worth it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:29 3
        
        if you're lazy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:30 1
        
        As was said, if half the lunch is travel time, it is not worth it. - Spawn Jan 25, 12:32
        
        this. although the benefits of the walk are good, the fact is, all I want for lunch is a damned nap. - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:30
        
        Again with this walking? What are you talking about? :) -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:24
  - McDonalds salted always feels like a sodium overdose for me -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:15
- really miss the old Wendy's fries. Not a fan of the new ones at all -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 12:14 1
  - Same :-( -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 12:18
STIS: I need to backup my home computer, any recommendations for a good company? -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:13 24
- Thanks for the help. Looks like I have some research to do. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:24 3
  - What kinda stuff do you have on it? I just use an external HD with a back-up system. - Spawn Jan 25, 12:28 2
    - Nothing all that important, just various documents, movies, music, etc..the usual crap. I have an external hd but I worry about that crashing too and - Krusty Jan 25, 12:31 1
      - The are not both going to crash at the same time. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:33
- I tried Carbonite and found it way too resource intensive. Then Crashplan, and didn't really like that. I use Moxy now and prefer it greatly. - Don Homer Jan 25, 12:17 7
  - You use me? -- nm - amoxy Jan 25, 12:29 1
    - You ain't no average groupie. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:31
  - *mozy*? -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 12:18 4
    - Sorry. Mozy. (fat fingers) -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 12:20
    - Boxy? -- nm - lileve Jan 25, 12:20
    - No, Don Homer uses his Moxy to keep his data secure. He's cool like that -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:20 1
      - Hepcat, that reference is outta sight -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 12:21
- I use Carbonite. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 12:15 1
  - As do I. I pay for very few online services. But I pay for this. -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 25, 12:22
- Crashplan -- (link) - oblique Jan 25, 12:14 4
  - I really need to do this. Mozy would be $60 for the year, so $50 is even better. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 12:25 1
    - The Crashplan family plan is very hard to beat and I love that it still gives you the options of helping back up your friends/family as well -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:27
  - Wow, there's a Pro version too. Would that be too much like a himbo? -- nm - Trish Jan 25, 12:15 1
    - We use the business version. He's very reliable :) -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:16
- what type of backup, limited or full, local or online? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:13 4
  - *shrug* I lost everything when my laptop crashed and I'd like to avoid that again. I guess, full backup. Not sure about local or online. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:15 3
    - I'd go online. Onsite backups are fine until someone breaks in and steals both your computer and your backup. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 12:16 2
      - Theft isn't an issue, computer failure is the issue for me. Online seems like what I want. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:19 1
        
        It's never an issue until the first time it happens. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 12:21

Samwise the cat is driving me nuts. He's patrolling up and down the hall constantly meowing for Crash. I swear he's got Catsberger Syndrome. - Trish Jan 25, 12:09 12
- awwww... -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 12:16
- That's very cute to me. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:14 3
  - Are you insane? I think cats figure out exactly how to push your buttons, then do it. I honestly think they have OCD + Aspbergers - Trish Jan 25, 12:18 2
    - Maybe a little. I find all their quirks cute and I kind of like the little annoying things they do. - Krusty Jan 25, 12:22
    - the house I'm living in has two cats who have spent the last two weeks in various stages of freaking out. - znufrii Jan 25, 12:20
- really confuse him - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:10 6
  - Oh no no no. Then I'd have fluffy long haired Riki sleeping on my head. I AM allergic to cats, you know. - Trish Jan 25, 12:14 5
    - Ship him to crash. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:26
    - fine go to the bathroom, close the door, sneak out the window, walk in the front door - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:17 3
      - His little cat brain would implode. He's almost mastered the concept of the opposible thumb. - Trish Jan 25, 12:27 1
        
        it would be awesome. get someone to do that and then tape the cat - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:28
      - nice. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 12:21

mmmm, corn muffin. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 12:03 7
- So so good when you lightly toast them, split them in half and pour hot chili over them. Then add some sharp shredded cheddar and instant nirvana. - Trish Jan 25, 12:11 6
  - Mmm...we're planning chili on Sunday night in camp...I should make some cornbread to take, right? - MojaveMeg Jan 25, 12:23 1
    - ann makes cornbroad in a cast iron skillet with so much oil in the bottom it almost comes out fried. it's perfecto. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 12:27
  - that's cool because without a kitchen, I don't think my mom will doing much cooking. goodbye ten pounds! - amanda jones Jan 25, 12:19
  - you are so wrong, but thats ok. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:13

    - maybe a turkey leg for good measure -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 12:15
That's very little consolation. It is definitely true. But little consolation. -- nm - prayformojo Jan 25, 12:03

- *pushes button on remote* *watches movie* - oblique Jan 25, 12:05 9
  - Unfortunately Netflix's streaming in Canada still sucks... Plus I'd bust my bandwidth limit way too fast - Guigue Jan 25, 12:10 2
    - what's a bandwidth limit ? -- nm - decline Jan 25, 12:11 1
      - Grrrrr... - Guigue Jan 25, 12:13
  - *cue kilbo butt pic* -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:10
  - what if they also gave you free chipolte each time your turned in a movie in, limit 1 per day? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:08 2
    - *that* would put them out of business -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:09 1
      - well, the monthly rate would be higher.. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:10

  - This reminds me. I still need to go through my old hardcover books and look for first editions to maybe sell - oblique Jan 25, 12:01 4
    - At the DC Antiquarian Book Fair there are always multiple vendors who deal with modern first editions. -- (link) - Max Jan 25, 12:16 1
      - Here's a list of dealers just from the DC event - Max Jan 25, 12:18

  - There are a lot of tin cans in mma, especially in a second rate outfits like Strikeforce. -- nm - ceregon Jan 25, 12:05 1
    - Of course. But a tin can guaranteed to lose to Herschel Walker? That's tough. nm - Dignan Jan 25, 12:16

        [deleted]
        
        It's apparently online. I'm sure the Green Party does one too but I'm not sure what the point is? - Mel Profit Jan 25, 12:10
        
        It's purely a web site thing for fundraising. -- nm - David Jan 25, 12:06
