There are easier codes now adays, what with the advent of the intertubes and input devices that allow more than a binary entry method.
Pretty sure he's still dead.

Back when I still shopped (and quite liked) Best Buy, I purchased a car stereo there on an open box special. Since it was an open box, I decided to get the extra warranty on it. A year or so down the line, the stereo started to overhead and actually started to shred a few cds (I'd put a newly burnt CDR into the stereo, it wouldn't play the disc and upon ejecting it a lot of the reflective coating was scraped off. This occurred with several brands of CDR so it wasn't just cheap media) When I took the stereo in, I was told it would take ~a month to fix, I figured that was acceptable since according to the fine print if they couldn't fix it I'd get a new stereo so it was win/win.
A month later, I received the stereo back, put it in my car and headed home. On the way it overheated and shut down. I returned the stereo, told them that it was still broken and asked about a replacement under the warranty. I was told that they had to attempt to repair it three times before they could give a replacement, a bit irritated, I gave the stereo back for the second time, and a month later, a third.
Eventually, they had tried three times to fix the stereo and I was therefor entitled to "a replacement of comparable performance." They then told me that they would credit me the original purchase price towards a new stereo, despite stereos in that price range being significantly lower in "performance". Eventually I decided to just get a cheapo stereo and keep the rest of the store credit for a future purchase (which I was told I could do) After checking out with the POS stereo, They changed their minds and said that they weren't required to give me the difference as store credit. Since I had already gotten a replacement stereo, why should they then pay me to get one as well. When I asked to return the POS stereo and get something that would at least use most of the replacement amount they said that i had already received the replacement, that it was non returnable, and had security escort me out of the building.
I fully believe anything she says about the crap Best Buy put her through while trying to get a repair.
Actually, depending on income, you could pay up to 91% tax starting in 1954. Of course in 1954 money you'd have to be making over 1.4 million today before you hit that tax bracket, and even then only income above that amount is taxed at the higher rate.

On that note, Don't you have to pay $20 to get this update? Seems like a nice plan. Put out a firmware update that will break phones, then put out a $20 update that will fix them.
Umm, couldn't someone plug in several devices at once if those devices are already plugged into a hub and the user just plugs the hub into their laptop? I know the topic is on PoeSATA, but you were talking about how USB handles things.
I'm not so sure that fancier effects are what makes a film "good".
I guess their point is that even indie films no longer have to worry about acting and writing since they can make it pretty just like Hollywood.
Sure, in theory a utility company could have a massive server setup and serve thin clients out to consumers.
When something breaks in a company are they really going to want to wait a week for someone who has no idea what they're doing? That may be ok for home users who are used to waiting weeks to get their internet fixed by the cable company, but not businessThat's a pretty big hole in the guy's argument.
Haven't we been hearing stories about how some company or another is coming out with a n layered disc that'll hold so much more than anything that's currently available for oh, 8-9 years now? I remember the original ones were when burnable DVDs were barely out and there was a company promising a 25gig disc in the next year or so using a many layered fluorescent disc.
I expect that Duke Nukem Forever will be the first title released on this type of disc and I'll play it on the PC in my flying car.
They can ship me all the software they want, and monitor it all they want.
As long as they can monitor it while it's sitting in a box in the closet.

They usually attach an extra page somewhere near the manual to list erratum. You've probably been doing what everyone else does: toss them both in the trash unread.
wow, I had a friend send me a link to what was obviously a posting for my current job yesterday so I'm very much searching. hadn't heard of Dice.com before.
Thanks!
I'd have rather put an amount into the box, I'm dirt poor at the moment but i can afford a dollar. Sadly, the implementation on the website is done poorly.
Even if you put 0.5 into the price you want to pay, they get paid more than what they would have if a label sold it. Unfortunately, if I pay them half a pound, I pay the credit card company 0.45 and I have to register etc before i can download the album. If I type in 0 then I don't have to register and I don't pay Mastercard almost as much as Radiohead.

I dunno, last time i cleaned my office they thought I was quitting, I wore a tie the next day and they really lost it. May go 3 piece suit tomorrow.

Ugh. You're right, my bad. Friday before the holiday and no one's here to break anything. I'm bored outta my mind and it's clearly left as a result.

Some of them pick up the poop, not all. definitely not all...
Have you ever tried taking beef jerky as a snack on your carry on? That makes the dogs really happy!

Hasn't the game always been a teaser?

Does it matter if it's lamb or beef? Any meat will be bad after that long!
