It is my understanding that the 24 states who did not opt out have not had problems with their websites. It's just the national one.

Beta testing on KY residents is new?

If Kentuckians can figure something out, almost everyone else in the country save retards will be able to as well. So it's a good testing ground...

OK, so I bought this bluetooth capable speaker the other night thinking I could use it with my laptop, but when I check for bluetooth on my laptop, the only option is for transferring or receiving files via bluetooth, which is not what I need for music. Of course, I can always buy a hardwire connection and just plug it in, but I want a wireless connection, damn it. The guy at Verizon told me to get a bluetooth dongle (sp?) at Best Buy, but the slacker at Best Buy said they didn't have it (they did have some shit for phones, though). He suggested seeing if Lenovo had any kind of upgrade that could be downloaded. Fuck, I'm already in way over my head here. I didn't even know there were different kinds of bluetooth for different functions. I can't believe there's no way to download what I need to make my laptop communicate with this damn speaker, or else buy it somewhere. Jerry is dying to get out of this shitty speaker setup I've got on me laptop. Come on, eCat (or anybody else), help me free Jerry...

well first lets determine if your laptop or tablet or whatever has bluetooth already.

if you don't know, google your laptop name , number and put "specs" in the search

Pluton (at 1980ss – Pluton-M) is a system of deep space communications and a planetary radar. It was built near Yevpatoria in 1960, and consists of at least three antennas. Three of them are of the ADU-1000 design, an assembly of eight mirrors, each with diameter of 16 meters. At the North station,[1] two receiver antennas were built, and a transmitter was constructed 8.5 kilometers away at the South station.[2] Each receiving dish has a Cassegrain system with subreflectors mounted on quadrapods in front of the dishes.[3] The dishes were placed on two hull of diesel submarines, welded together and laid down on the railway bridge trusses. The antennas of ADU-1000 were mounted on steerable frames constructed from battleship gun turrets and railway bridge trusses.[2]
The Pluton complex supported all the Soviet space programs until 1978, when the Yevpatoria RT-70 radio telescope was built. The Pluton complex was the world's highest capacity deep space communication system prior to Goldstone in 1966.
In 1961 it performed one of the world's first radiolocations of the planet Venus. In June 1962 it performed the world's first successful radiolocation of the planet Mercury. In February 1963 it performed successful radiolocation of the planet Mars. In September–October 1963 it performed successful radiolocation of the planet Jupiter.
On 19 and 24 November 1962, the words «MIR», «LENIN», and «SSSR» were sent in the direction of the star HD131336 in the constellation Libra. These message (The Morse Message (1962)[4]) are the first radio broadcasts for extraterrestrial civilizations in the history of mankind.[5]

looks like rusty scrap metal that needs a good scraping and some red lead applied

Hey, you can pick up the playboy channel unscrambled with those dishes.

I bet if I put one of those in the back yard I wouldn't have to run wire under the house from the router in the back bedroom...

Bought Twitter at 26.60 soon after the bell rang this morning. We'll see how it goes.
