If I could have found the source garden - and we tried - I would have gladly made reparations. But either we went further afield than I believed we could have staggered in a reasonable time or we dug up the stump and re-landscaped the garden...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.
As for the greasy food, we used to always go to greasy spoons after a night of hard drinking.
Thanks for the story.

And whose going to replace Ewen? Sound like a senior players revolt which is never productive.

well they're all about the NSW coach - but if i were him i'd wait until after the RWC, plus he is very green....so perhaps Larkham as a caretaker. That'd certainly change the dynamics as he's an ex player.

True, at least it kept me in the seat and glued to the match. I walked out on the last one, I hate one sided games where Oz are getting their butts whipped.

Sounds like a wonderful day, Michael; the worst day fishing is better than the best day working, as they say. After the first time out on a boat in childhood, I haven't been bothered with seasickness in all the years since, so perhaps you'll never feel it again.
Will Rogers never met me.

I'm about to move into the land of Docsis 3.0 and need a new one. After filtering my cable co's approved list by Docsis 2 and ipv4 only, I had a list of 5 options:
Arris WBM760A Touchstone Cable Modem WBM760A x x
Arris CM820A Touchstone Cable Modem CM820A
Motorola SB6120 Motorola SURFboard SB6120 Cable Modem
Motorola SB6121 Motorola SURFboard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
Ubee DDM3513 Ubee (formerly Ambit) DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
My default assumption would be that it's SB6121 that I want; but figured I'd ask the peanut gallery before giving Amazon my $70.
PS I know it's not the newest model available; but I don't want to give the weasels any excuse to blame me for their problems because i bought something not on their list.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Look at the buyer reviews on Amazon or Newegg for each of the models you are considering.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Dunno.
The cable company didn't provide one or a list -- just that it had to be DOCSIS 3.
I have been using a MOTOROLA SURFboard SBG6580 for the last three years. No complaints.

The United Way realized that it had never received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office.
The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, 'Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't give a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community through the United Way ?'
The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, 'First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?' Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, 'Uh... no, I didn't know that.'
'Secondly,' says the lawyer, ' did it show that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children? The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology, but is cut off again.
'Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister's husband died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?' The humiliated United Way rep, feeling completely beaten up, says, 'I'm so sorry I had no idea.'
And the lawyer says, 'So, if I didn't give any money to them, what makes you think I'd give any to you?'

It's not too bad! I was waiting for the lawyer to sue them!

Not that, but to be realistic, he would have charged them by the hour.

A CP member's post about the job market triggered a related question for me. We moved to Arizona to care for her ailing mother 10 years ago. We needed something we could both do at home while being available for medical care, so we opened an Internet store. My mother-in-law has since passed on and now I'm looking for other work.
Meanwhile ...
To streamline the business, I wrote software to handle back-end processes like shipping, inventory, and catalog management. I'm considering productizing some of it. For one example, I wrote a file open/save dialog that emulates the Windows dialog but handles protocols like FTP and RSS using plug-ins.
Is there a viable market for such components nowadays? How does one get started? Has anyone on Code Project done this?

I did something like this in the 90s, so a very different market environment, and there were some real pitfalls we navigated. I say we and that is the first pitfall, make sure your partner(s) have the same level of enthusiasm and ethics as you do (yes that was very carefully worded).
Having built the software with the input from an industry sponsor we then attempted to market it. Marketing/sales is a bloody nightmare unless you have a bent for it. You also need to make sure your income streams are practical, ours was focussed on sales and the support eventually killed us.
Each client wanted something slightly different to what we were offering so trying to build in the mods was another disaster.
Finally we had to have an exit strategy, it took me 6 years to eventually get out of supporting the application and we only sold about 15 systems.
This was before the interwebs grew up so things are very different now so do some serious research into the viability before committing to it. There are higher costs than money involved.
