The 3 day "trial" is a full 100% refund. The 30 day "trial" is the same thing, but you don't get your activation fee refunded ($36) (for days between day 4 and day 30). Given this, after 30 days, you have to pay (1) 1 months worth of service (2) $36 activation fee (3) 199/299 for the phone, and (4) termination fee of 175 - and quite possibly a pro rated second month of usage (if any).
if you move the stickers, you'll have to learn a new way to solve it. ALL the published techniques (and java engines, etc.) to solve it are based on the original placement of the stickers. Most of the automated solutions I've seen even state, it will not work if the stickers have been rearranged, or if the cube was apart and put back together differently.
hehe I did this (moved the stickers on the cube)... eveyrone was AMAZED! Then I found out that if you did, the online java solutions wouldn't work.
Do this, move the stickers around, then mess it up again, and then get a "good cuber" to try and solve it... I guess if they're good, they'll know the stickers have been moved.. nevermind.
does a commodore 64 qualify? I mean, you can emulate:) - that was my best childhood toy - I saw it (wrapped - but i peeked) sitting in the closet---thought I'd be able to "talk to it" (as in have a conversation, you know, like on Tron!).
try wildgate.com - sign up for an account and you have the choice in your prefs on what outgoing ID you want... cost $5.00 or so. been around for years now.
they said the same thing about "nuke technology" 30 years ago.... now anyone can buy one on the black market and push the big red button ( so long as they can find the weapons grade plutonium )... I'm afraid that same twist can be applied to this technology too.. the "complex and every so technical aspects of doing this" can be placed on a chip one day, and the only thing left is controlling the chip.
Roxio also had one, I forgot what its called, but it worked fine for me, same with Ghost 6 and above. No problems, buf of course, it required down time. With Cristie it doesn't.
I'd say place one of those X-10 camera systems close to her, but directed in a fashion to prevent false alarms. When the software senses movement in the video, activate some software to sound off something. Some of the software you can get for that can isolate graphically specific regions to detect movement in, and ignore the unspecified portions. If this could be mounted in a fashion to where whatever movement she can perform can be "monitored" then I think this may work. And of course, during normal day to day activity possibly have it mounted and pointing to parts of a "map" or maybe even just 4 segments of the map and have each portion of that "map" mean different things.----But I'm not sure how limited her movement is, or what she is able to move, so that would all hinge on if this would work as well. If her ability allows it, maybe even a simple chime (like the ones you pass through and hear at all 7-11's) would work if mounted strategically enough.

You know, I used to think the same way, but beileve it or not, some folks DON'T CARE if you know who they are.

Nuff said.

Like I posted with *38 came out, there is another company who has been doing this for YEARS now...
www.wildgate.com
Get a pre-paid account, and change your outgoing caller ID to whatever you want via the web - then when you dial out, that's the number.
Limits: not to 8xx numbers (of course, because that's ANI)
not to local to LA area (because of course, the LA Xchange will take over)....
I've had an account there for a while.. even spread the word to Mitnik back in the day b4 * came about.......
Most of them use toll-free 8** numbers,
which will use the ANI, not caller ID, so the
fraud rate should only be up around 10% not 1000%
:-)

Its not there, what is currently being used on the 'canned' Linux desktop is WINE running the Notes Client. Not too fast either.
Try Cristie - it will backup the OS "on the fly".
