    Anyone else see the shuttle launch this morning?

    My wife's laptop of 6 years no longer powers up, so she's looking to replace it. She likes the size of a netbook, and for her uses, there won't be performance issues or screen-size issues.

    Last night, I had to park on the street because my cousin was visiting when I got home and took my spot in the driveway. This morning, I get a knock on my door. Turns out it's a police officer. Apparently, one of my tires was an inch and a half over the curb and on my neighbors grass. So he...
