You'll probably never read this, but I was parked at a somewhat upscale movie theater in a good neighborhood. If you were a car theif, would you rather hit a parking lot full of nice cars with potentially quality stereos, or bank on a shitty neighborhood where the original VW bug is the most commonly sighted car?
Bottom line: if you have a car, and you want to keep it safe, leave it in the garage and take the bus. And pray your home doesn't get broken into.
As the victim of a recent stereo theft, I'm doing some hardcore shopping with the insurance company's money. I had a Kenwood z919 (MP3), but the problem was no removeable faceplate. I read the link (couldn't get the PDFs), and it looks like it has pretty much the same problem.
Considering that I'm shopping with someone else's money, I'd like to get something with the all-important geek factor. I just don't want to have it ripped out of my car again.
Exactly. This is a site run by Americans, and Americans know how much a dollar is worth. It's easy for Americans to understand that a billion dollars is a lot of money. However, if it said "billions of pesos", most of us would have been slightly confused, as the value of a peso is not common knowledge.
I'm sure this will lead to someone blaming Americans for being uncultured in not learning the value of every other currency on the planet.
As a former Charter employee (I also worked for @Home, but that's another story) I'm shocked that you ever got more than 2.2KBps. With the myriad of headend, line, and server problems Charter has, it's amazing you were able to get on at all.
Of course, Excite going down the shitter doesn't help matters much, either.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I have a Kenwood z919. To your point, I'll say that it will take 700mb disks, and hold ~12 hours of music at 128kbps (which is great for highway driving). The benefits? AM/FM for listing to weather, traffic, etc, being able to play store-bought or friend-brought cd's, and a media (shiny little disks) that people are familiar with. This ensures that I can ask a passenger to switch disks for me without fear that they will screw it up (I guess that could be an argument for safe driving).
I have a Kenwood z919 that plays burned mp3 disks. It has a 1meg buffer, and in the 6 months I have owned it, I have never once heard it skip (which is saying something, because I drive like an insane person).
I've seen this argument before. As amazing as it is, there are some rather unpatriotic folks who believe that whoever did this was right. Now, while we can't really assess the motives of those who attacked until we know *who* attacked, I will ask this:
If this attack is justified as retaliation, why is it okay for them to kill our civilians for crimes committed by our government, but wrong if we return the same treatment? You can't have it both ways.
Those weren't military personel in the World Trade Center, those were people going about their lives and doing their jobs.
Some kind person left a pamphlet on my car, indicating that the world was going to end soon, and that I should beware the mark of the beast. As fate would have it, there is a pretty clear section of this highly informative and exceptionally soul-cleansing literature about robotic animals and their place in God's kingdom. As it turns out, this is clearly mentioned in an obscure and out-of-context verse of the bible. Beware, my friends, the end is near.
Man, what I wouldn't give to know who that kind person was, so that I might track them down and give them a good thanking.

THPS3 had branded boards, et al, but also had clothing brands. I've never played THPS1 or 2, so I'm not sure if these were included or not.

Don't get me started on dolphins.
My vote for the name? "Tasty".
Yeah, god forbid there should be any girls standing in line with us.

You're absolutely right. Only an idiot would form opinions and stereotypes about about an entire country.

Well that, my friend, is a horse of a different color.

Oh please, stop being so proactive. All you manage to do is come off like some kind of "I know you are but what am I" paradigm.
Times like this, I'm glad I run my own local mail server.
"...when the plane crashed into the World Trade Center and burst into that orange fireball and the buildings fell down..."
...and then the big boom happened and then more big booms and then lots of people cried and my mommy was sad and I was scared.

As a citizen of Colorado, I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we don't want him.

"Hompaq".
Or "Humpback", phonetically.
Being a programmer does not make you intelligent.
The inverse is also true.
Telnet in on port 80 and do a manual get.
Anything else is for wussies.
Around here we call them "lurkers".
I'm 20 and I don't have a credit (or debit) card. How am I supposed to play my ultra-violent video games?
Oh right, warez. It's too bad, games were one of the few things I still paid for.
It's so hard to tell anymore
You could always hang out at my little slash-site for a year...
If I didn't know better, I would have assumed this to be vaporware.
With a name like cappuccino, could we coin the term "foamware"?
