Are you sure about that? I thought it blatantly stated that they could.

this isn't clear about it, but it does seem that way.

Just had to restart my PC like 5 times so I could get my internet working and get itunes running (which refuse to run at first, and when I tried to delete the process it refused to stop) so that was a pain.

Also I need a recommendation for a wireless card now, my current set up is a joke I can no longer stand, but I don't know where to start. 

It pisses me off how common drunk driving is in my friends circle/with people I know. I have no real problem with people having a couple beers and driving, but there's a shocking amount of people who just get arguable drunk and then drive. I mean, it doesn't happen that often but as of now I have 6 friends that I can think off of the top of my head who have gotten into accidents (3 of them totaled their cars, but no one else was involved or hurt too badly) and it just pisses me off how casual people are over it. I also hate how I feel sort of preachy about it, and I'm sure as hell guilty of getting a bit too drunk and driving, but I feel the need to vent about it.

I totally agree.  I've nearly gotten run off the road by drunken idiots who decided to get behind the wheel a few times.

I wonder if those morons get charged for manslaughter if they kill someone while they drive under the influence?  Because, if not, they fucking should.

I think they typically get charged with vehicular manslaughter, yeah.  Though there's history in at least California of drunk drivers getting charged with murder after they've killed someone.

Depends on the situation, but yeah they generally frown pretty heavily on it and will charge the drunk driver for anyone he hurts. There was a case where a really wealthy guy killed a kid and ended up barely doing time, but that's a rarity.

Good.

Don't even get me started on that "buying your way out of prison" crap.  Do the crime, do the time.  Just like the rest of us.

Sad but true, wealthy people do easily get away with crimes.

Tried to remove the keycaps on my laptop to clean some crud out from the mechanism... Apparently broke the mechanism on S and F.... Anyone know where I can get replacement mechanisms? This is REALLY annoying already.

Found http://www.laptopkey.com/ and ordered some replacements. They'd better arrive quickly.

Scissor switches are fairly durable, but the way that they're held on can strip off the pegs easily if you try to remove them.  I went through that with my first Dell laptop keyboard -- I tried to pull one of the keycaps to get something out of the keyboard and it never went on right again.

Many thanks for that site, by the way!  I actually know someone who needs new keycaps right now.
