| The year is 2002, and I'm a Linux machine running kernel 2.2.21, in a Microsoft Windows world. While Wine 0.7 can run some windows applications, Linux cannot do so natively, and Wine, (being an alpha product), is prone to crashing, and the applications running are often unstable. Linux is very good ... |

| I fix it. I have enough spare parts that I almost have a complete second machine. It might waste an afternoon, but by the time the day is out, I will be back up and running again. |

| I doubt talking would solve anything. I could predict the following series of events: Guy watching TV: "Excuse me, I'm trying to watch television, would you mind keeping it down?" Lady on phone: "F*ck off as*hole* Guy watching TV: "Ma'am, I'm asking you nicely to please keep your conversation to a r... |

| It's a better option then getting angry and assaulting the b***h. Assaulting somebody who is being an inconsiderate jerk is not legally justifiable. Yes, you can tell them to "shut the f*ck up", but if they don't, what option is left? Turn the TV up even louder, and get into a pedestrian version of ... |

| While she was being an obnoxious b***h, and IMHO, you would have been fully within your rights to tell her to "shut the F*ck up", the simplest solution is often the best. Simply get up, and walk away from the situation that is aggravating and/or annoying you. Watch TV in your apartment, and the situ... |
