Well, got here early to do some work, and my ridiculously expensive laptop will not turn on. Not happy.
Hopefully something happened where it got unplugged and the battery is just dead.

Here?
Basically the boarder of KS and CO.
A few bombers flying around as well.
One was coming right at me, but I popped it into neutral and goosed the throttle a few times and he turned around. Coward.
Somewhat related but not...
Don't play chicken with Chick N.
My wife's Stinkpad T410 finally gave up even though it's been running with a useless battery that won't charge for months now. Pretty sure she finally killed the AC connector.Quote:

She's using one of my spares (T500) while she's out of town, I just hope it comes back in one piece. Pretty hard to eff up a magnesium frame laptop but she seems to be able to break them all. Mostly she trashes the charge ports and/or lid hinges.
Did you get it sorted Irving or will it have to wait?
If probably wont help but I had a similar issue once. I popped the battery out & after it was reseated the puter started.
Not home yet. Sitting in traffic. No external battery.
Turned on when I plugged it in at home. Said the battery was full as well. Hope that doesn't happen again.
Weird
Yes, and it wasted a lot of my planned work time.

I think that it opens in the last place that you had it, which makes this even worse.
Put it where you want it to open. Try holding down the CTL key and clicking the close (X). It should remember the location.Quote:

Winders IS stupid, it is entirely not intuitive to the way you use your computer daily. It can guess programs you use often. BFD.
I want the calculator in a different spot every time. It's kind of like my gumball issue from a few weeks ago where I always grab two, and sometimes I get two of the same color. The other day that happened FIVE times in a row. Statistical probability whaaaaaaaaat?!
Mmmmmm picklesQuote:

It almost never even matters where you’re going in Texas or what part of it you enter from, it’s always a long ways to go.Quote:

So far Operation GMSW! is a success!!Quote:
