    I don't understand why Jersey Shore is trashier than any of the miriad other trashy reality TV shows, like Real Trashwives and Laguna Beach.... if you're on reality TV, you are by definition trash.... so these guys and girls have thick Jersey accents.... big deal...

    @nhr_215: They do not have "Jersey" accents. We can pronounce three, and don't say it "tree". I say that as a proud Jersey Shore local, and not Benny's, like these idiots are. Sorry, this gets me riled up and makes me wanna punch someone.

    Hmm, I hope this isn't a widespread issue - or my house may be burning down right now. I run my mini 9 as a file server, so it's on 24/7.

    Ok...ok....ok. It's one thing to bring a compact iMac into P&B if your that hungry to be anti-social while being around people. It is quite another thing to bring your CRT and full sized desktop machine into a place like this and 'spread out'.

    I'm all for bringing a machine to a meeting (ie: 2600 meeting) where there will be twenty more people like you there, but this dude has straight crossed the line and did the line crossing wearing sock with sandals.

    Please man leave the desktop at home and save up for a netbook or gaming laptop if you must be around people buying bread and coffee.

    Solution: (unless this dude is gaming) P&B your already thought of as WAN mecca for 'certain people'...go ahead and make a full on internet cafe with machines and everything at booths. It will save you (and everyone that has to see this) the frustration. Move in and take this opportunity P&B.

    @WaffleTeamStrike! v26.00:
    An iMac is only compact in relative terms. Realistically anyone who lugs a desktop system to a public place (LAN parties being the exception) just to use free wi-fi is an idiot. I may not like laptops in particular but even I'd scrimp and save for one if this was my only way to get my fix of internet.

    @Odin: Totally agree. I only meant the lessor of two evils would be bringing an all-in-one pc/mac in. I in no way condone lugging your giant desktop computer into a public restaurant.

    Also, yeah; if these guy's are doing this strictly because they want to use the free wifi (instead of using ones own connection) than yes they are idiots. (esp. if they are smart enough to setup and play wow.)

    I think the reason they do this lies elsewhere though. Maybe some from the: I want to look ballsy column and some from the I'm seeking attention/friends column. Either way it will remain a shade of epic weirdness.
