In a bold move, NASA has shot the moon with a big-ass missile.

Today's twin-impact is a preemptive strike, as the moon proves to pose a "Clear and Present Danger" to the oft-forgotten American Green Cheese industry, says inside sources.

The first salvo in this War Against Near-Earth Orbiting Satellites was fired today at about 8:00AM Eastern Time, followed shortly by a kamikaze-like suicide attack by the accompanying satellite.

Dan Andrews (NASA's LCROSS project manager) said that "the spacecraft performed beautifully." NASA crashed the satellite into the moon as part of their mission. Today's mission marks a new world record for "makin' it rain" as this mission appears to have cost about $79 million.

This also appears to be the beginning of a wholesale assault on the moon, to be followed up with a full-scale invasion featuring a "coalition of the willing", which is comprised primarily of scientists marooned on the International Space Station without a working toilet.They've been promised theuse of "facilities" en route to their lunar landing.

This first, historic foray into hurling random shit at celestial bodies appears to be so successful that NASA intends to continue the program, hurling other objects at other objects in our solar system, including:

• 10/01/2011 - Launch a giant spitball at the plant Venus just b/c we can.
  
• 10/21/2014 - Operation "Rubber/Glue" intends to hurl a capsule containing over 1500 "Yo Momma" jokes (translated in 31 languages) at Mars. A DVD video featuring famous insult comic Don Rickles will accompany the mission.
• 12/25/2016 - Mission "Hu-Flung-Poo" intends to fling excrement from the NJ Sewer Commission at the former planet "Pluto" in a final insult. This will be a joint venture with the sewer authority in an attempt to solve an age-old poop storage problem for NYC.

After the highly-anticipated release of Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6.1), I ran right out and grabbed a copy. I've always had good luck with Apple's updates, so why not?

Everything's been fine for me, except for one thing.

Problem:

When my Macbook pro would go into "sleep" mode and later awaken, I could no longer access Windows shares. ("Samba" shares for my nerdy friends.)

This includes any of the file storage on my trusty ol' windows desktop. (Oh no! Can't get to them mp3's! All my awesomeness is so... removed!)

Whenever I'd do the whole command-K in Finder and clicked on my trusty windows share, it'd just sit there, "connecting..." and never reach the folder.

So, this is a problem and the only cure seemed to be a reboot.

I thought to myself: "A reboot? WTF? I switched from Windows b/c I hated all of the constant rebooting!!!"

Even worse, it was a "hard boot" sometimes b/c the reboot would hang. Ugh. I thought to myself "Not you, Mr Macbook. Not you!!"

There had to be a better fix...
