CyberSitter sues CHINA for $2.2B

Seems the Chinese government took some of their code for China's Green Wall firewall package that all Chinese computers must have installed.

I love it when good things happen to bad people.

If it's not one thing, it's another.

As my nana, Nana Roseana Dana used to say...


So not only is FedEx failing to deliver my overnighted laptop for over a week and we're going to El Paso this afternoon to pick it up, our stove just died. I just talked to Sears service, and a repair guy is supposed to call within 24 hours to set an appointment.

So I go to Sears.com to price the buggers. They started at over $600 and went up sharply from there.

So I go to HomeDepot.com. They started at about $300 and had LOTS of selection at much more reasonable prices.

Does anyone have any brand suggestions?
