my MacBook still works fine (except the missing key and dead battery) most of the time but when my wife gets on it and leaves 8 or 9 windows open with half of them Facebook pages and it goes to sleep, I usually have to quit Safari to get it going again without the spinning wheel going on interminably. but it doesn't have that problem with Foxfire so it seems like mostly a Safari issue.

Juicers of any kind won't lower the price of fruit. I liked my juicer, which Logan gave to me for my wedding, but once I figured out a glass of freshly made apple juice at home cost about $1.50 plus cleanup time, I put it back in the pantry

You were never going to do anything but stuff your face with Twinkies anyway, even if you were offered organic juice for free, daily, with no clean-up. It's what you do...

We should've shut down the Pen to protest SOPA/PIPA (or whatever)...

the program cCleaner cleans up your registry (the registry is where programs store configuration information). Over time it fills up with unused program information and could slow your computer down as well as mess with your system restore settings.

It also wipes out junk files in temporary folders, etc to give you extra hard drive space.

And perhaps most importantly, its an interface to the msconfig program that will let you control what your computer does at startup and running services behind the scenes.

Like I said, you won't need it for another 6 months or so, buts its pretty handy to have

for me, the juicer is just a way to streamline vegetable intake. I use apples (as does the commercial juice industry) to sweeten whatever concoction I've put into the juicer.

I'm sure I missed out on alot of valuable nutrients by disposing of the pulp - but opposed to not eating any fruits or vegetables its seems to work well.

I think Crow also did some research and ended up buying a Breville juicer, of course, since it wasn't his discovery, he had to dog it and find something to note its inferior design.

You get about 90% of the nutrients in the juice. The pulp is basically roughage and fiber that gives you satisfying shits, but it doesn't contribute much nutritionally. The main thing you're losing in the pulp is the small amount of liquid that the juicer didn't extract, but it's not much...

As for Stu's niggardliness, I get 20 ounces of juice from 2 grapefruits, 2 oranges, a lemon and a lime. Yes, that is about $1.50 worth of fruit (and if you use carrots/celery/etc, you'd get out even cheaper than that), but you'd spend at least $4 in a juice bar for 20 ounces of any type of juice. In short, Stu is cheap. He'd rather spend $1.50 on 4 Twinkies than $1.50 on something truly healthful, just like he'd rather spend $1800 on a Mac than $400 on a PC that could do everything he'd possibly need...

he's gotta make up for that Mac money somehow

Finally, Stu's protests of "having to clean up" after juicing is disingenuous at best. He's basically a haus frau as it is, constantly cleaning and doing chores under the lash of his wife. Any type of "clean up" should be the least of his worries, that's basically his entire role in life...

actually the juice is mostly sugar and you're really missing out by not consuming the whole fruit. but that won't stop hedge from greedily thieving the juice from the fruit and claiming that it's more nutritious.

hedge=simp for juicer makers everywhere

Well, in a couple of hours, I get to ride in the new Dodge Charger SRT-8 for the first time. Me and a friend are going to take his out to the test track in West Houston. His comes with a pro-rated torque enhancer that gives him another 35 bhps, meaning well over 500, and a likely top end closer to 200 MPH.

If you don't hear from me again, it's been nice, and I have no regrets. At. All.

anyone here have an opinion on the Ford Sport Trac?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one tonight

That's almost like a real truck. Put your purse down and get a F-150.

That is the truck I have always wanted Ecat.
