You think better dressed like a slob. I get twice as much of everything done sitting at home in a ripped old t-shirt and surf shorts. I used to think wearing a suit made me look important. What a jackass. Nobody who makes any really decisions and has any self confidence dresses up anymore. The old farts who bitch about the kids looking like shit these days might as well be crying about the cost of McDonalds hamburgers jumping from $.25 when they were kids.

For those keeping track at home, this is item number 487 on the list of things Sebby and I disagree about.

Even "Tusk"?

I know for many people at your firm, cargos and a sweater would be pretty close to daily attire. Throw a lightweight jacket over it and I would think you'd be good to go.

I agree. I have never had any sort of hard time given to me over any attire I've chosen to show up in here. I am happy to be working in a not-stuffy version of behemoth law firm. Not as happy as I would be not working at all at a law firm, but I acknowledge that it could be worse (hi Ann Elk!).

I so want to write "488" in response, but I can't. We are in total agreement.

I have the same issue at home. My wife's IBook suddenly went on the fritz and wouldn't connect to the internet, so I called Apple and they took me through steps to reset our Apple AirPort wireless router. Now my computer won't connect to the net, and no matter what I do, I can't make it work. My ISP provider very candidly suggested I "throw away" my AirPort (says they never work well). It's insanely frsutrating.

The issue, as I'm told, is that my router is not accepting my computer's IP Address. How I cure that I have no idea. I'm just going to throw out the fucking piece of shit router and buy a PC-compatible product. I like Apple's stuff, but save the ITunes (which is wonderfully easy), its all more trouble than its worth. Fuck Apple.

if I send you some family Beta movies can you make digital files from them for me? I don't have a Betamax anymore.

Indeed. All 8 of us plan on raising glasses of Bushmills in a silent toast in your honor in a few short hours.

Well done... Well done indeed (and I'm not even a fan of the song paradies generally).

I'll be tipping a Red Bull and Vodka to you... and everybody else here.
Thanks once again for making this year's toil tolerable.

My best wishes to all of you and your families.

Have the happiest holiday since since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny Fucking Kaye.

For what it's worth, at my behemoth accounting firm, denim is also prohibited, even the denim shirts with the firm logo and buttondown collar they sell on the firm website. Fortunately, most of my khakis are more comfortable than jeans, so it's no big deal, and so far nobody has given me a hard time when I've gone sockless.

Oh darn it, even I am getting in the holiday spirit. There have been lots of harsh and angry words bandied about this holiday season, some of which are arguably contrary to the spirit of the holidays. Hatred with the intensity of a large-ish number of suns seems to be a handy catchphrase for describing some of the emotions being expressed from time to time, such emotions leaving darkness in all of our souls. So, in recognition of this most holy time of year, I would like to come right out and admit that there are some on this board whom I like, and a far greater number about whom I have no strong feelings one way or the other. But I do not affirmatively hate any of the posters here on Lawtalkers.

Except Hank.

The issue as stated makes no sense. If you set security to allow access only to specified MAC addresses (that's not Mac addresses, but a computer-specific identity code), then you need to change that setting. Also, the default answer of any internet support service is "if you have a Mac or Apple product, that's the problem." Of course, that's BS, because both macs and PCs both us a universal TCP/IP standard, so the screwup is usually with the ISP. And a router is not PC-compatible or not. A router is either based on the TCP/IP standard or not. And if not, won't work with much of anything.

Anyway, if you can't configure your airport to work with your iBook . . . well good luck in the PC world.

Thank you for this pre-emptive strike at Burger's forthcoming response to my plea.

I won't bother, other than to say ask Sebby how going to a PC makes his life easier.
