No, it's just an issue with the code on CO.com (someone at CO counts 1-2-3-4-5-5-5 :)). Nothing on your end...

The obvious question is: someone doing CO IT can count at least 1-2-3-4-5?

About the same as getting a photo there with Jimmy? :D

I'm close to Tampa, is that considered foreign enough?

Is the NetJets display worth going for? That's the big draw for me, since my market knowledge and the high investing IQ of the average attendee would make me feel like I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks.

The NetJets display got pretty crowded late in the Q&A, which means lines - there are about six or so jets in a hangar at Eppley one can tour. The largest in 2009 was the G-IV. Also get to speak to some of the pilots while drinking Coca-Cola products. I liked the experience of the Convention Center ...

Sounds like someone at Continental has been messing with my work week lately... It goes:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, Monday, Monday, Tuesday... Hey, wait a second....:rolleyes:

Stay classy, Atlantic City. Driving MGM Mirage out of town is always a smart play. :rolleyes:

My inside joke that when I have to call for help I call EDS, my foreign call center. Of course it doesn't help that business place signs in their windows advertising that they speak english. :rolleyes:

Anyone ever ridden backwards on a plane? Like those C seats that show up on the UA 747 seat map? I've got to imagine that would be a little weird...

Done it on the UA 763 with the new C seats. Had a lovely view of the starboard engine.

Good thing you don't live in New Jersey. They might come after you for that.

Evening, Box. I'm at the PHL 4P - it's totally fine for the purposes, though now I know, give me the Aloft across the parking lot any day (as long as the price difference is negligible). They have free internet - wired, so laptop-in-bed isn't really going to happen, but I should go to bed imminently anyways. 4:30 am is going to hurt a bit. :rolleyes:

One of my greatest regrets is that I was/am not more of a computer geek. I took one semester of CS in college and that was enough to tell me that however I think, it is NOT in any way analogous to how a computer thinks. :confused: Worst grade of my life, that class.

My sister, now a freshman herself, is in the equivalent class at her school and seems to love it. Insane. She also was much smarter than I was and made some key friends early. :)

...and then I meet tjtenor4 who's all "you mean everyone didn't spend their middle/high school years taking apart/building computers in their spare time?" :eek:

Anyway. Good night, Box.

I would think the carry permit and a car that hasn't been subjected to emissions inspections in six years would get me in more trouble.

And Summerfield Suites and I don't get along (and I'm not the only one).

Yeah, CCW and no emissions makes you a gun toting anti-environment lunatic around here. :rolleyes:

My two stocks went up huge today - too bad my positions are so small that it doesn't matter.

Being that your carry permit isn't honored in NJ, you'd be in big trouble. (but TN honors NJ's)
