Snippets: Laptop, Health, Bailout, and One From Norway

[l33tminion]

The screen on my new laptop cannot be upgraded, unfortunately. HP support is prompt but their writing skills leave something to be desired. At least they did answer my question. Ubuntu setup progresses in my spare moments.

I'm still recovering from this cold, and now I'm worried that I'm coming down with something else.

Evidently this bailout bill may cause Wall Street execs to take their golden parachutes and say screw the economy. On the international front, the first stock market to open post-bailout did not do so well.

Finally, in totally random news, here's a post translating a Norwegian news piece about how Barack Obama loaned a stranger $103 in 1988 to help her out of baggage trouble at the airport. I like that anecdote. It shows good character, especially since Obama was hardly rich at the time, and jibes well with my favorite piece of advice.

To bed!

What's wrong with your new laptop's screen?

Nothing, except that the max resolution is 1280x800; I'd much rather have the 1680x1050 model.

I really don't think Wall Street can whine, but then again, I'm actually for it. If they can be a bit smarter, all the better. Sad that the oversight isn't being implemented universally though.

This is turning out a bit better than I had hoped.
