Great, this is finally what I have been looking for. I can finally put all those pr0n pictures I have to good use. I will take the best parts from all those pictures and piece them together into the ultimate woman (who will most likely look like Jennifer Love Hewitt). Then I will wear a bra on my head and press print. Wah-la I will have my very own woman. Oh how my life will change.
Here is to hoping that the consumables aren't that expensive. I might just print me a harem.
I give you a lot of credit, and as someone else said "you win" as far as I am concerned. I am a "volly" Firefighter/EMT and although I have been to a few "messy" calls we don't have to deal with anything close to that. There is no way I could do this sort of thing as a full time job, as a volly, I can choose which calls I go on (vomit calls are the WORST. I am a sympathy puker, and you never live that sort of thing down at the fire house). I for one, am glad there are people out there like yourself who can and do deal with that on a full time basis. Good luck to you, and be safe.
jayayeem, while you are right (and I was wrong in remembering the details of the law), the overall effect may be the same. The law states that emergency vehicles may "exceed the maximum speed limits so long as he does not endanger life or property." This means, in court any way, that the second you hit some one (or someone hits you) while you were exercising your rights to exceed the speed limits you endangered life or property, and therefore your rights are revoked.
You gotta' love lawyers and the way they word things. "We give you the right to speed right up until grandma runs a red light and t-bones you." Just something to think about.
I'll tell you what Operagost, why don't you go down to your local F.D. or Ambulance company and volunteer to drive for them. You can go "balls to the wall" through all the green lights you want. However before you do this, could you please let me know where it is you live, becuase I want to make sure you are not going to be driving in my town. When I drive, I do a "California stop" (otherwise known as a roll stop) when I come to a red light or a green light. It just is not worth the risk you take to go barreling through the light. Oh yeah, and on top of it all... NFPA states:
Emergency vehicle operators shall bring their vehicle to a complete stop and shall not proceed until it is confirmed that it is safe to do so for any of the following situations: (a) Any "stop" signal (i.e., sign, light, or traffic officer) (b) Blind intersections (c) Intersections where all lanes of traffic cannot be seen by the operator (d) When encountering a stopped school bus with flashing warning lights (e) Any other state motor vehicle laws which would prohibit emergency vehicles from unrestricted movement
Besides my 5 plus ton truck takes a little bit more braking distance than your 500lb pinto.
Anybody else find it funny that the SCO tour is sponsored by HP? (Big banner advertisement right on the link above.) I wonder if they will drop them as a sponsor?
Hey.. I know this guy he really is a retard.. I would mod this one up even higher as "insightful" if I only had mod points...

If you are running the gentoo build of KDE3.1 there is a good reason why the media player(s) don't work. There currently is no updated version of the Xinelibs in portage which is required by KDE3.1 Therefor it has been disabled. (See the ebuild file, or forums.gentoo.org for more info.) I was kinda bummed about this, but look forward to when I can try this functionality out.
Now I lay me down to sleep.... I pray Intel the IA-64 Instruction set to keep. But if Intel folds before I wake, I pray AMD picks up their stake (of the market).
OK, I obviously missed something... when did Slash become themed? The web page I have infront of me right now has a VERY MacOSx feel to it. (Funky 3dish graphics, and those light grey lines in the background of all the white areas...)
I currently have a LinksysBE41 (or whatever it was called) and I have been VERY pleased with it. However I have heard that the SMC7004ABR with the newest firmware allows you to do DHCP reservations. Does anyone know if this is true... (Yes I have RTFM, however I dont see it mentioned anywhere... supposedly it is a new feature. ) I have been looking for this functionality for a while and if it is possible to do, I may go out and get one. Thanks
I am currently at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) working towards my degree in Information Technology. This seems to be the best of both worlds for me. It is not computer science, and it is deffinately not CIS. You end up with a much more well rounded experience with an IT degree. It covers Networking, programming, web design etc.. etc... etc... In my experience (which was Drop out of college, work for a TLA employer for three years, then go back for my degree) a well rounded employee with experience across the many different fields in technology today is most usefull. But that is just my opinion... I could be wrong.
My experience with 3D Printers

3D Printers

I have had the oportunity to play with and enable one of these Printers at my place of employment. It is quite a cool toy, but that is all it really is. We have printed out many "wrenches" (3d test file that came with machine) but have yet to make any reall parts. Why you ask? Well the people who bought a $300,000 Stereolithography printer a few years back to print up these parts are upset because they are afraid of loosing funding to this newer cheaper, faster model. Hmmm sounds like so many other things discussed here at slashdot oh well... The more things change the more they stay the same.

You have a really good point here... I was wondering the same thing. By making a comment such as this it makes us Linux user look like a bunch of whining cheapskates (I mean no offense by this) to the rest of the world.
"Well it says here that they have access to software that they can use to play the DVD's... they just dont wat to pay for it"
I think that we should try and find out what this player really is. If He is infact refering to a Windows player, this issue should be brought up. It would be the same as saying to a Mac user... "Well software package "X" (put yuour favorite Wintel software package not ported to the mac here) is available"... "All you have to do is switch OSes and hardware platforms.
I saw (someplace.. ) A t-shirt that had the De-CSS source code on it and that place was going to donate some of the money to the EFF... does anyone know what I am talking about or where I could get it?
So wait.. does this mean that if I make a tv application that allows you to display what tv shows are on at the time and select one of those stations (say by using tvguide online)to be viewed.. I could be sued 'cuz I didnt license some "concept" pattented by some stupid company? Could some one clarify this IANAL. Thanks
