  1. I've never bought anything there but it seems like a site members might use. Apparently, they were hacked and the CC numbers of all accounts has been compromised.

    Edit: Looks like the attackers were able to get unencrypted passwords also.

  2. So I'm having some trouble with my direct TV dish and I'd be willing to pay 100$ to someone that dealt with it professionally to come and fix it.

    I write software for televisions and my company provides a free (to me) direct TV account to employees to test. They only issue is that because it's a corporate serve yourself account I need to point the dish my self. So far I've only been able to point the dish well enough to get the SD channels. I'd really like someone that installed dish's professionally to come and set it up.

    Send a PM if you can help.

  3. Hero gear and guns and leather in greenbriar. Not necessarily in that order. It's their awesome friendly customer service. There are a couple of other middle tn places I frequent where the service sucks and the employees are always kind of jerks so i make a special note of the stores that treat me well and are friendly.

  4. I really don't see the big deal.. This doesn't seem like something that she should lose her job for. Especially considering that A) The event happened before she got the job / position and :) she isn't the one that released them... She probably shouldn't be punished for things that happened before she signed the "Morality clause" contract... nor should she be held responsible for others actions (The guy who released it).

    Edit: I delete the link to the pics because I don't know the policy here about that

  5. Somewhat on topic... My wife is a social worker and she isn't allowed to carry... No gun, No stun gun, no pepper spray.. no knife... It's really ridiculous given the places she goes and things she does (Children Services)...

    On a less related note... it's pretty funny the stories she tells about her co-workers.. she is probably the only conservative social worker they have... and has to constantly fight with her bosses so that people just giving their children a good spanking don't get in trouble..

  6. I've never gone hunting, hope to some day. I'll say this about cars though... I don't swerve to hit rodents, but I don't swerve away either. There are to many external dangers on a road for me to even try to swerve to miss a squirrel. The squirrel is an obstacle I know the car can overcome... Swerving just brings far to many potential problems into the situation for me to even be interested in it... I have friends that say, "Well, I only swerve around the squirrel when it's safe to"... And for me that's not really good enough. There are just to many unknowns when moving a 2 ton vehicle at 45 mph... Not to mention this puts you in the habit of swerving and may cause it to become instinctual. No thanks. If the rodent makes it great, if they don't I don't worry about it.

  7. Been playing with a Mororola xoom for a month or so. I like it better than my iPod touch.

    Might try an iPad sometime. Maybe the main thing wrong with the iPod touch is that the buttons are too small for my fingers. Had been figuring if I didn't like the touch, then maybe I wouldn't like a giant iPod touch any better.

    I considered the Xoom before buying a firest generation iPad (at a discount after the iPad 2 released).. and the Xoom just doesn't compare... The touch screen isn't as nice.. it feels flimsy.. and the software isn't polished enough... Which is sad.. because I really like the Xoom's (HoneyComb's) improved notifications and full OS feel (file system and what not)...

  8. I'm from Ohio, been here 5 years now... and I think the biggest adjustment was Sunday. Most of the time the pace of things fits with my MidWest upbringing but Sundays are still amazing. In Ohio stores opened at mostly their normal times on a Sunday. Here things don't open until after noon... I don't mean AT noon, but after... Don't go shopping on Sunday before 1:00 it's an exercise in frustration. Better yet, go to church -> Brunch -> Home on sunday and no where else :-)

    Driving:

    People in TN drive far faster, and better, on the freeway than people elsewhere... and, as far as I can tell, far worse when they aren't on the freeway. Intersections are made to be blocked... turning signals don't matter... but no one is really in that big of a rush. In Ohio taking a trip more than 20 - 30 minutes from home was a really big deal... Here, going 2 hours a way is just a normal weekend trip to the gun shop. I suspect this attitude towards driving long distances comes from having such a long state?

    Trees:

    Trees here are gorgeous and everywhere... You can feel like you live in the country while being a couple minutes from a mall. The flip side is that you'll have allergies... Even if you've never had allergies in your entire life... you will here.. Buy the allergy meds behind the counter.. they are the only ones that work for me.

    lifestyle:

    My experience on the south (atleast TN) has been that everyone is super nice and helpful... but they also big on minding their own business. I've met some very conservative folks here that don't want to go fight against things like gay marriage... They mostly just want to be left alone to live their life their own way... Without interference from government and without telling anyone else how to live their life. That's really the reason I love TN... The do what you'd like attitude.

  9. Went to GnL yesterday. Asked 'em about the chance of preordering one, they said they're gonna be sellin' 'em for $580.00 and preorder requires $100 down. Goin' up there in a few minutes to trade in my American Classic, probably get about $300 on the trade. Then I'll be able to be one of the first to own one when they come in. Before anybody asks, I didn't ask how long it's gonna take for them to get them in, but I expect they'll be amongst the first wave of TN shops that get 'em.

    If they are selling them for 580$ I need to make a trip up there and preorder mine.
