I did the same thing back in junior high school. I noticed that the tv our class often got was the same exact model I had at home. My ploy was two-step. First I'd change the channel to something really far from channel 3. The TV itself only had Power / Channel Up & Down / Volumne Up & Down controls so if you put it somewhere in the 40s, they'd have a ton of channels to go through to get back to 3. The next step was to do a combination of channel up/volume up/channel down/volume up to my heart's delight and then switch it off. If you did it right the volume would go up, but you wouldn't hear it... Until it was first turned on again:)
Of course I did it while the teacher was occupied with another student.
I was always curious which class got the tv next:D
Since there've been some posts stating otherwise, I thought I'd try to clear up the subject.
From what I understand, SBC doesn't actually stand for anything. Here is what I have from some informational reading (sorry, there doesn't seem to be a webpage that has it):
"Between 1984 and 1995, the company went from being strictly a local and regional provider to a global telecommunications presence.
In 1994, the shareowners voted to change the name of the corporation to SBC Communications Inc., and it officially became effective in 1995. We changed the name of the corporation because we were beginning to have both a national and international presence, and we didn't want our name to limit us to one specific region. Southwestern Bell remains the brand name used in our original five states.
What does the acronym SBC stand for? SBC is actually not an abbreviation nor an acronym. SBC is the name our company chose to incorporate under and is also used as our stock symbol."
If the technology is out there to create multi-layered dvd's for the consumer, why not just do a 4 layer (or however many layers) that can write to each layer without turning the media upside-down?
I don't want to wear out my eject button if I don't have to:)
This is a case where buying the higher priced brand can often be better. There is software out there that can check who the manufacturer is of your media.
A few minutes later his jaw drops in AMASMENT and he askes "Do you mean you are really going to buy them?" to which I answered: "Well, if you ever show me the damn covers - yes!"
While you're at it, don't forget to invest in a good dictionary too:)
A "fact", e.g., "4 +4 = 8" cannot be copyrighted. The symbolic representation of that fact, can be. "4 + 4 = 8" is one symbolic representation of a fact. "IV + IV = IIX" is another. Same fact, different symbols.
I think it would be best for the Wachowski brothers to apply for a patent now. I'm sure they could use that extra income after their 3rd DVD comes out.
...and then the $50 (or whatever) is charged to the patent applicant.
And if it were $50 per example (without the 3 instance limit) of prior art, boy, M$ might even go out of business;D
Then a new line of business will result in all this: Patent Research - give us money and we'll check to make sure you aren't submitting a dumb patent that will end up costing you money!
Marty maintains that the scanners at the security gate will not harm film, hard drives, or digital cameras. The stronger scanners for checked baggage, on the other hand, run the risk of causing damage to any of these items.
Since he mentions digicams, it might be safe to presume that includes whatever media is contained in the digicam.
Try it out and let us know what you find out:)
The next generation of students sure will have it much easier than us. How is a teacher supposed to catch plagiarism with software like that?
Oh wait...
Mrs. G: Johnny, come here for a second. Johnny: Yes Mrs. G? Mrs. G: What did you mean by "Shrub claimed that Basket Hamper and the Hatchets of Sin will be blown out" in your current events report? Johnny: Oh, whoops! What I meant to say there was, "Bush says Bin Laden and the Axes of Evil will be defeated." Sorry about that. Darn that defective spell-check and grammar-check!

Then he'll start singing:
"Sooner born, Sooner bred, when I die I'll be Sooner dead."
Oh btw, OU should get their own fight song. If memory serves me correctly that Boomer Sooner song is originally the Yale Boola.
Go (Cal) Bears!
(Yeah, UCLA stole our fight song too.)

I haven't used a floppy since 1995 (only for a computer class at school), so as far as I'm concerned they're dead.

Same thing with those Zip Disks.
Gosh, I can't believe I bought into that.
Never look up.
Even Gene Hackman knows that.

So if you have CD-R's that are Riteks instead of Taiyo Yudens, you're probably asking for trouble.
I'm sure the same can probably be said of DVD media. But since I haven't been burning to DVD-whatevers I have yet to do much looking-around.
When I first saw that website, I was disappointed that I'd already bought a Fujifilm 100 CD-R spindle for really cheap.
Time will probably show that you get what you pay for
These days, I'm looking to get an external FW HD's to keep a recent rolling backup of my essentials.

And I'm willing to spend top-dollar for it.

And if they have super-trilogy boxed sets with figurines, they better have some without figurines that sell for $50 cheaper

Go ahead and take "IV + IV = IIX."
I'll take "IV + IV = VIII."

they made a sound font available for us to try. If anybody is curious about trying some sampled sound fonts, http://www.hammersound.net/ has a pretty good collection. My favorite organ sound font there is JEUX 1.4 found towards the bottom of this page.
one full-time job and one part-time job (or maybe two part-time jobs).
Whether or not the two jobs are related does not matter.
Let's say they both have the usual boilerplate agreement in their contract about things you create off-hours.
You sign both contracts (without checking if you can cross-out / alter / initial anything you don't agree with).
You invent / create something on your own time.
Both employers want to claim it.
Who gets it?
The "Gatorchip" is born (sort of).

I'm sure a lot of sweat will go into making those.
Oh wait, that was something else
