    Yeah, I can see that. At least I have my 500GB USB 3.0 drive so I can work on my software project more! (I said USB 3.0 cause it supports the new version of USB that transfers at around 5 gigabits per second, compared to the speed of USB 2.0, at 480 megabits per second).

    Cool pictures. I've got a Nikon Coolpix L24. Nothing fancy, just your normal point and shoot. :)

    Yeah, that sucks too. Internet will probably go though cause Duke cuts the cable company (Bright House Networks/Time Warner Cable) when a line needs repairs. Happened once during a very bad thunderstorm, I called Bright House and they said it was down cause Duke Energy needed to repair a power...

    Yeah, we do. Duke's outages are usually more out in rural Indiana counties. Hamilton County is more urban since it sits on the northern border of Marion County (the county Indianapolis is in), so it's probably less likely. I remember one day our power was out for 45 minutes because a insulator...

    Your Local Weather?

    We're gonna get 8" to 13" of snow if FOX 59 is right. Here's what the NWS says:

    Yep. I predict the power lines are gonna freeze up and may lose power, with Duke Energy (our power company) give some statement about how they're trying. :P While IPL (power company in the City of Indianapolis) will be all fine.... lol. I say that cause usually IPL will have WAY fewer outages...

    Well, my county is under a travel advisory, they're asking us not to drive but they're not enforcing it. When it becomes a snow emergency I'll get prepared LOL (Snow emergency equals an arrest if you go out driving).

    Cropping stuff is what I usually use Paint for. Except the XP version since it ruins the quality if you save it in JPEG. lol

    Yes I am! I want a local university (or a reigonal one) to sponsor a mirror for it so people can download it. I'm limited to 2TB of monthly bandwidth with overages at $4 a terabyte and Linux can use quite a bit. Maybe not Indiana University though, their bandwidth is only at 100Mbps in state...

    Fireworks mark new year around world

    Yeah, it's cool, there's several videos of it up on Youtube right now. No radio in the background in some though. :( Two years ago, the Carmel one was almost cancelled cause it got so hot, it reached 107 degrees Farenheit one day and had over 20 days of 100+ temps, which is odd for Indiana...
