The Link appears as something like URL:http://annoyingsite.com in unicode within the WMV. You can process the file and change the "url" to (for example) "urx" and windows doesn't know what to do with it so ignores it.
I've run across some files where the URLs are not openly visible like that but they were in the minority (May be more prevalent now).
I had a program that did it. Here is what I searched for:
Lister: I'm going to buy meself a little farm on Fiji. And I'm going to get a sheep and a cow, and breed horses. Rimmer: With a sheep and a cow? Lister: No, with horses and horses. Rimmer: On Fiji? Lister: Yeah! The prices there are unbelievable. Rimmer: Yes, because they had a volcanic eruption and now most of Fiji's three feet below sea level! Lister: It's only three feet. They can wade. That's why the animals are gonna have to be quite tall. Rimmer: Nice plan, Lister. Excellent plan! Brilliant plan, Lister! What about the sheep? What are you going to do, buy them water-wings? Fit them with stilts? Better still, you could cross-breed them with dolphins and have leaping mutton.
But funnily enough, it doesn't follow that the display on a cell phone would be synced to that fancy-pants clock. It could just as easily be synced to cletus the intern sending a global network SMS to all phones based on what he read off the $3.95 Wal-mart clock hanging on his wall.
Whatever the cause, cell phone clocks are not reliable. Simple as that.
FWIW, I am with Butler.net which uses Bellsouth's (now AT&T's) lines. When I joined up, it was PPPoE for the higher speed connections and later, even the regular connection had to be switched over to PPPoE. I believe this was a Bellsouth requirement. This is with a static IP.
Outbound SMTP may not be all that useful anyway. I've had outbound emails bounce because of the IP block I was sending from. I ended up using my ISP's mail servers for SMTP. I'm not even using the big ISPs but a smaller business oriented company and I have a static IP.
If you have a glass containing 20 oz of fluid and one containing 8 oz of fluid and you add 12 oz to the 8oz and then give both glasses to someone else, how does he restore the original state of the glasses if he has no knowledge of the original state?
Important information has been lost. Possibly, someone could judiciously add dynamic range back in. But if compression has been applied to individual tracks *before* they are mixed then truly you are SOL.
I would have thought that was exactly the kind of thing that should be covered by CSS. Or perhaps in the HTTP headers (perhaps by the encoding). The content of the HTML document is just a stream of information. I'd be interested to hear your rationale though.
int main(){ printf ("%s", "Keep in mind words aren't as precise as we'd like them to be, over the years they take on multiple meanings. Witness the following permutayions on a classic Military phrase, which you think would be very well defined:
One reason the Armed Services have trouble operating jointly is that they have very different meanings for the same terms.
The Joint Chiefs once told the Navy to \"secure a building,\" to which they responded by turning off the lights and locking the doors.
The Joint Chiefs then instructed Army personnel to \"secure the building,\" and they occupied the building so no one could enter.
Upon receiving the exact same order, the Marines assaulted the building, captured it, and set up defenses with suppressive fire & amphibious assault vehicles, established reconnaissance and communications channels, and prepared for close hand-to-hand combat if the situation arose.
But the Air Force, on the other hand, acted most swiftly on the command, and took out a three-year lease with an option to buy.
So its quite possible that both sides are telling the truth, there was no fire & there was a fire. If I asked you if there had ever been a fire in your house, you might truthfully tell me no, even though you had a gas stove, lit matches and candles, and maybe even flambe's some meals. Would that make you a liar?"); }
The Trackman FX had a "Universal Scroll" mode which is similar to what you describe (though it was modal rather than being a "hold down the button" thing.
I had a trackman FX and loved it. Because of the large ball, your hand performs fairly large movements avoiding the small, precise movements that tend to contribute to RSI (at least that's the way it seemed to me).
I stopped using it after my daughter dropped the ball (literally) and it got a ding making it catch on one of the posts. I now use a click mouse and work and one of the MX lasers at home. Mouse design must have improved because the wrist pains that caused me to get the FX have never returned.

Yes you can.

char lstr[]={0x55,0x00,0x52,0x00,0x4c,0x00,0x00,0x00};
And here is what killed the redirect:
*(dbuff+i+2)='X';
I would probably do this in Perl these days.

For a circle where you are sitting, the ratio of the circumference to diameter is not the same as the pi defined in the formula above (cf relativity).
Rich
Assuming Euclidian geometry. Not necessarily the case otherwise.
Rich
I thought that was a union for the people that made trousers for plumbers and construction workers...
Rich
No it doesn't.
Hint: Pi is a constant, the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumfrence is not necessarily so.

A trivial risk compared to that of being on a packed roadway with people routinely heading towards you at a speed aprroximately equal to your own.
Go up and fly sometime. See how much empty space there is once you're outside of a city.

I hear that many Americans don't have maps. Such as.

Now, inbound SMTP is a whole different matter

Indeed, for liberal arts students, HTML was complete upon the introduction of the tag.

If you use the ALT tag correctly, most of the time its text should be different from any captioning text anyway.
