That's pretty much what all my work desktop and unwisely bought extension home laptop keyboards look like... except they are black.

It's an axe

My mind saw an obscene gesture, I guess I'm not that dirty.

I'd call it a battle ax since it has blades on both sides but from this perspective it looks like a space ship...

tinypliny - 10/29/10 20:57
And its glowing.

We see.

Locked in the trunk

At least I know how yo get out. The glow tag makes me wonder if this happens a lot.

metalpeter - 10/30/10 16:08
well most trunks don't open from the inside!

Whose grave were you digging?

Upload Speed Inequality
Category: computers

I don't understand why I can't get decent wired upload speeds in Buffalo. Every month I pay $99 for a FIOS account out in the suburbs because the city has no comparable upload speed service.

I was looking at some FCC data for Buffalo and it seems like the wireless upload speeds are topping wired already. I recognize that this is not a huge sample source but seriously, this is just totally ridiculous.

Wireless Averages (in kbps)

Average Download Speed	10,896
Average Upload Speed	7,016
Maximum Download	15,168
Maximum Upload	8,171
Wireless Tests	39

Wired Broadband (in kbps)

Average Download Speed	42,640
Average Upload Speed	3,425
Maximum Download	83,163
Maximum Upload	3,747
Wired Tests	24

You shouldn't post all these shiny stats. I have green vision as a result.

Asian food extavaganza

I had delicious sushi for lunch at Fuji grill followed by dinner at PF Chang's. PF Chang's has a whole Gluten free menu for (e:matthew)

I however got my gluten intolletance test results and I am not gluten intollerant just allergic to wheat.

My blood pressure was a perfect 110/70.

Tommorow I take a mercury test. I am so curious with all this hype about the dangers of fish consumption. If I don't have a problem then its all bullshit.

So? What was the result? All your readers have passed out of holding their breaths too long - except me, who is their zombie spokesperson.
