Don't worry!! According to the "Slashdot Ruining Act of 2038, p1239 r 20" and our Handy-Dandy Psychameras with Time-Travel Action, we will apprehend this no-gooder in due-time! As soon as he shows up in our Time-Space Continuum, we will have him identified and bodymogrified and sent back to the early years of the 21st century with a modified behavioural chip. And, well... you know the rest.. oh, wait. You DON'T... but don't worry, *we* DO. >:|
Not to mention that evil 2600 shirt he wears. That must mean he's a criminal. After all, don't you know? All readers of 2600 are evil phreakers! And, to buy a t-shirt and wear it?? He MUST be EVEN worse!! We'll just listen in on and record every phone conversation he has as he walks about town and uses the pay phones...
Did you know "turbo" buttons on computers actually do the opposite of what you might think they do? Yes, "turbo" buttons are meant to slow down your computer! In all honesty. Infact, here's a reference regarding it:
http://www.pcguide.com/ref/case/switchTurbo-c.html
"bestiality" ISN'T a reasonable "fetish" just as
neither is "pedophilia" isn't one either.
Bestiality is a non-consensual action taken with an animal who can't consent.
Given, one could argue that an animal consented... "he got hard, he mounted me, he licked me.."
BUT
One cannot expect that an animal exactly understands the actions taking place.
And an animal certainly can't give verbal, nor written consent nor non-consent to the actions.
This is the same argument against pedophilia -- that a prepubescent child can't fully understand whats involved, and can't really consent.
As far as bestial pornography goes, it really exists in a legal morass. It's probably illegal in more places than most people realize, although IANAL -- I would guess there might even be a website somewhere that details these laws.
And, besides, can you get an animal to sign a model release... not to mention, should it be 18 in dog years or human years before being able to Star in Lassie Does Dolly?;)
Wow, Slashdot is starting to REALLY love BSD, considering this story was just posted TWO stories ago and by your resident BSD expert, AilleCat, no less. (Hi T!)
Okay, well, good thing you said the 6160*M*, otherwise I would have whap'ed you silly...
note to others... the standard xx60's typically arn't data capable... that is... the 5160
and the 6160 are NOT data capable, given, there may be some way to hack them as convential phone to conventional modem, BUT no cable exists to do this that I am aware of. Anyways, luckily the 6160m and the 6160i are data capable... and so is the 7160... which I just recently got. Now, I don't have a laptop or a PDA so I havent tried this yet myself, however, I have investigated the possibility thoroughly -- thats why I bought the 7160, I wanted to be ready for future use.
I checked the Nokia site for the 6160m and I did not see anything regarding PC connectivity other than something simply stating these models were capable of this. With the 7160, however, it came with a PC Connectivity guide in addition to the details that are in the standard user guide for the phone. I suggest you start by checking this out, it may be similar -- however, the guide says it is in reference to Palm OS 3.3 -- I dont know how different things are between 3.1 and 3.3. You can see the manual at http://www.nokiausa.com/fonesync/7160PCguide.pdf
Basically it comes down to configuring the Visor/Palm for the Nokia as a standard modem, and making sure you are using that configuration for your connection. Of course it also means using the DLR-3 or DLR-3P cable (Nokia 51xx/61xx/71xx to 9 pin serial) to an appropriately wired/configured cable/adapter. From what you said, it sounds like you (or your Visor) is still trying to use the configuration for the Circom modem to establish the connection, which isn't what you want to do since you're using the Nokia as the modem. If doing what I said above doesn't fix it, maybe try to remove the Circom modem so that it's not confused, if you don't already have to for the cable connection.
If none of this works I suggest trying at least one of the following: 1. Contact the Store where you got your phone/service or the service provider directly 2. Contact Handspring or surf around their website to see if you can pick up any tips 3. Contact Nokia -- you can find their tech support info somewhere on the website... and they are very good as is the website... or, at very least they try... I called them before I even got my phone. 4. Surf around the Palm website, maybe you can pick up some tips, ideas, or maybe even software 5. Try newsgroups, to start with I might suggest alt.cellular.nokia
Or, you could always try sending me a visor or palm, and I'll try to figure out your problem in more depth....;) No, actually seriously... if you appreciated this... wait... hmm.... aww, gee, I just really want to be able to hook up my phone to a PDA or old laptop to do exactly what you are talking about.. 8(
And to the guy who suggested SoftGSM... sounds like an interesting idea... except the Nokia xx60's are TDMA phones, not GSM. I believe most/all (Nokia) GSM phones are data-capable... or at least the network is inherently, although like you say... apparently there is a need for this software in some cases if you dont have the hardware... BTW, the Nokia GSM phones are the xx90's.. and there might be others, but in the 51xx, 61xx, 71xx families these are the ones I know of.
When Winfire.com/FreeDSL.com recently decided to shut down just recently, letters were sent to current and almost-subscribers stating that one could switch over to Rhythms and that they had an exclusive agreement with Telocity.
If you search for something (a serious thorough and well done search) and it isn't there, then YOU
put it there. That's the original idea. Throwing
together information from little disparite(sp?) pieces together to form a cohesive whole. I used to run several information resources/pages of info
which just wasn't out there. Management became a little bit of a problem on the dynamic content that I needed to update every week, but on the projects that only required a static webpage and infrequent updates/additions as I learned new material that was involved, it was easy to manage and maintain -- and the amazing thing was the level of traffic it brought me with absolutely no advertising or seeking of links... if you build it, they will come. The only reason it's down right now? The system it was on went down. Once
I get myself a better connection and/or host, it will all come back. Even if you dont know about the subject now, the fact of the matter is, you want to know about the subject, and this is a good
motivation. Or, simply work on resources based on material you DO know. Take 'nothing' turn it into something!
I'm just curious where you got the "Michael" in your mistake... even the article you're pointing to is correct in stating Jaron as his first name, and there is no "Michael" in the article.
Just curious... is there something we don't know?
(people have already pointed out the correction.)
In the film/video version of R&J typically shown in High Schools, not only is there "ass" but you should have also been able to see female nipple. So, either you missed it, or your version was edited! (It's actually very easy to miss.) And, yes, the actors were I believe under 18 when this was shot, but certainly not as young as the characters they were portraying were supposed to be. This actually was pointed out to us in our class. Hey, maybe I should go post this under the favorite teachers thread!!
Does your boss really want to increase productivity by dosing everybody with caffine? Seriously though, have you considered your options? You talk about "expected increase in demand" but will there really be this demand? Seven more people isn't too many. Why don't you do a survey and ask people what they want? My suggestion however would be to stay with the regular pots you are used to, and just add another machine or two. Also if your machine doesn't already have one built in (like a platform on the top), a warming plate or something.. that way you can keep one pot hot/warm while brewing another. Also, you need one machine to brew decaff (sanka packets suck.) and one for hot water for tea, cocoa, etc.. And when you set all this up... don't just think about the machines... make sure you have enough counter space.. you don't want any workplace accidents of people accidentally getting burnt. You might also want to look into outsourcing your coffee/beverage issue.. there are a lot of workplace coffee companies that can handle this stuff for you. And of course there are the traditional vending machines -- give people options if they want them... and by all means, make any vending machines reasonably priced! (Or just provide a refridgerator so people can bring in their own cold beverages.. not to mention lunch.. do you have a microwave, too?)
Oh, and whatever your solution... don't forget to make a beowulf cluster out of all those coffee machines..;)
It only took them what? 14? 15 days?
2000-12-13 03:40:50 NetZero joins Bad Patent Club (articles,patents) (rejected)
Check out their press release...http://www.netzero.net/about_us/20001207 patent.html
"In total, NetZero has more than 50 patents pending on technologies that help us offer innovative ways for advertisers to reach millions of NetZero users, while maintaining a high quality experience for those users."
Get that... FIFTY potential silly patents... well, I would say "hooray!" Netzero is going to wipe out advertising on the internet, but then the problem with that is that people will have to switch to a subscription model to make money. That is not good. 8(
Also from that press release:
"We believe this patent applies to the ad-delivery process used by many of our competitors for both targeted and untargeted advertisements and will provide NetZero with a significant competitive edge in this environment."
Get it straight, NetZero, most of your competitors bit the dust in the last month or two, and in doing so made it nearly impossible to log on to you, and also made things so hard on you, you had to CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS MODEL.
Remember CEOs of America: Competition is a good thing, Monopoly bad.
Now, everyone.. sing along.. it's a little ditty by Queen...
If it makes you feel any better, I laughed.
Especially that Fudboy Line.
For those of you that don't get the reference, it's a Devo reference paraphrased. The original line goes "I'm just a spudboy, looking for that real Tomato." Heck, now that I look at it, even his email address "fudpatrol" is also a Devo reference.

You actually CAN get frequent flyer miles with AT&T -- they offer frequent flyer miles through Continental, I believe. I just switched back to AT&T, actually.. and am getting $.05 a minute state-to-state (no fee - 6 month period) and well I will be getting $.05/min in-state LD ($5 monthly
fee)
You just need to ask, I would assume all the major carriers have frequent flyer plans with various airlines.. it's probably best to call up the airlines you fly and ask them who they might have programs with.. you might be surprised where you can earn miles/discounts/promos through for all sorts of things.
