Can... is, uh.

Do text editors exist that can actually open text files that large?

Hahaa... that kinda' puts those of us who can't consistently reproduce handwriting patterns in a bit of a hole. I write a cursive L ten times in a row and all ten will be different

Write a bloody print L ten times in a row and all ten will be different, some of them radically so. There's a reason I can't draw straight lines, bleh. Closest to a consistent habit I get with my signature is I usually (Usually) skip lowercase Is and just put a dot between the other letters, heh.

On the bright side, if there's two forged signatures involved and they actually look highly related, that's probably not me. Which... probably wouldn't help, I'unno. I guess it'd be a vaguely amusing defense, though. "Your honor, these two signatures look alike. It was obviously not me signing those documents."

Oh yeah, and former governor of Florida Jedidiah "The Smart One" Bush endorsed Romney.

Pretty much everyone I know in Florida: "Welp. There's another mark against Romney."

Though my acquaintances in this state are over represented by those affiliated with the public education system. Protip: Most teachers in Florida (that I know, anyway) hate Jeb's guts with a violent passion.

Did see that on TV in passing, though.

Because it has formal use. Kinda like learning to put on a tie. Sure, you don't need it for the most part but some people do appreciate it when you put the extra effort in

Well... sure, if it were part of some sort of formal etiquette class, that'd be kinda' interesting, probably quite useful, too.

But... they didn't teach us how to wear ties at my school Cursive and a degree of formal writing was it, and they were both separated by years, not part of some kind of integrated program.

Though a sort of social interaction class or series of classes inserted into public curriculum would probably help a lot of people a tremendous amount. But ahahaha yeah no. Not going to happen, at least not in public schools.

No they don't. When I have to read someone else's cursive, my first thought is "Oh sweet Nicodemus is this even English what the hell am I looking at".

Some people, MSH

Let us abhorers of cursive rejoice the number is shrinking

Perhaps this will lead to a reboot (or at least a new run) of the old Red Planet series...

It'd be neat to see that again, I think. I vaguely remember it being interesting, heh.

... the one person to have a quickload function? And only a single save slot, hrm?

Well, I guess that isn't too bad. You'd eventually unknowingly save after a point of no return

Seriously though save about a week or month back, diligently track stock prices, load, invest, repeat on a weekly/monthly basis.

Decade or two later, total monetary control of the world.

Job interview. Heh.

Yeeaaah... there is absolutely zero chance I'd willingly give that kind of information to anyone, nevermind someone I don't know personally and well (and where lives, just in case). Is our new generation so poorly trained on basic internet security practices that this sort of thing actually flies?

I'unno, maybe I'm a throwback to an earlier time or something. I can't help be surprised how much the sheer audacity of asking someone for passwords and suchlike strikes me as just... impudent, or something. *channels old biddy* Nosy beyond public decency. It's like someone flipping up your skirt or yanking your pants down to check the package or something, y'anno'? S'just not something a civilized person does. And these people doing it as a matter of course? As part of their hiring practices!? That is shameful. These employers should be ashamed of themselves!

... now let's everyone internalize that last bit of huff and then disseminate it into public consciousness. Stir up some nice indignation. That kind of action is an insult to our honor, decency, and moral fiber! It should not stand!

Going to have to disassemble the laptop in the morning for a little cleaning. Bloody fan-thing constantly whirring, where a day or two ago it was quiet.

Not looking forward to it (probably going to take a good chunk of the day, especially taking it apart alone), nor the risk of permanent damage involved, but it's either that or go absolutely batshit insane from the constant whirring.

Brightside, though. Maybe I'll manage to figure out which wire got displaced last time that buggered up one of the sound channels. Here's hoping (that it turns on again once I'm done, oh godsohgods, aiee.).
