    57005, that is the number of times I have crashed combined with the rides I planned on doing and didn't. For real; this STR forum is the only thing I understand about computers.

    Tell me about forgetting all that hex stuff... I totally forgot that 0xDEAD is a negative number in 2s-complement! (1101 1110 1010 1101)

    I guess we count dead people with negative numbers?

    Hahah, no f'n way!! I recall him saying how bummed he was about having them removed, but flying was more important to him.

    I had him in a few classes at school. How insane is that??

    Well, tell him I say "hi" next time you talk to him. He might not remember me off the bat, but I was in Spanish with him. We did our lame skit in front of the class together...and we had the hottest French chick for a spanish teacher. Best class ever. :D

    After the trail work on Sunday I had to go by Lowes in Escondido. When I was leaving, I noticed the car next to mine had vanity plates "MSFT SUX". I busted out a good chuckle and scared the lady I was walking behind. I thought about going back to take a pic with my camera phone but it was raining and I wanted to go home. Now that was geeky no stickers or markings on the car just the plate.

    I wonder if I can get AAPL SUX on my truck?
