Male - ChristianDarn that was stupid
I opened up my computer to clean it, and during the process I unplugged the CPU fan in the vain hope that I could remove it and clean it properly. Like usual I didn't, so I used a toothpick to take out all the dust I could find. When I closed up my computer I forgot to plug the fan back in and in the middle of a game, while wondering what the heck was going on my computer suddenly turned off. Eventually I remembered I forgot to plug the fan in, plugged it, opened the window to let winter in and left the stupid thing alone. It works now but I have to wonder: I'm doing networking and tech support in college. I should have known better. I guess I'm destined to become the tech support dude everyone hates.
"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

That's ok because they seem to be in high demand. Every organization has at least one.

I have redeemed myself by figuring out why my wireless net keeps going on and off. The new phone my parents installed interferes with the wireless router.

Don't even go into the screwballs thread, we have a live one.
I just love how they start off all nice and respectable and quickly degenerate into a narcissistic pile.Nochyu mokraya ptitsa nikogda ne letaet.

I don't feel like debating... Revelations right now.
I'm also pretty sure I fixed the problem, so I should have Internet without disruptions."Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it.
