I don't know if you've ever worked on a car, but if you know what you're doing, you can change an alternator in about 20 minutes, or get it replaced at the dealership for $150. It costs that much to have someone look at your A/C system, let alone work on it. The A/C system truly has no user serviceable parts.
Turns out the medium capacity ALICE packs (50lb max capacity) have frames, and a lightly padded belt. Not as padded as say, an REI Wonderland pack, but one can certianly adjust the pack to properly sit on your waist.
Try lugging a 5-7lb laptop in your 3lb (yes, they really are that heavy, most are heavier) laptop bag, filled with another 3lbs of accessories (mouse, power supply, USB keychain, possible extra battery, surge protector, etc etc etc). Now cart that on your shoulder across a major airport like DFW, LAX or JFK with all your other crap. That's 11 pounds minimum, and probably closer to 15-18 lbs if you don't have the budget for a 5lb laptop. My laptop bag with 5lb powerbook in it weighs a little over 20 lbs, with 3.5" external hard drive and cables, novel, and some optical discs.
I'm sure that marine didn't much like carrying that 60 lb pack, but at least it was on his waist (packs put 90% of the weight on your waist, the shoulder straps are just there to keep it from falling off, unlike your Jansport in high school). This 18-20lbs is directly on your shoulder (singular).
I own a powerbook and consider it much more fragile than my friend's iBook. So do many other people. Such a large screen in such a small frame lends itself to being broken more easily. Metal bends, while plastic "bounces back" durring low stress issues. Many people think this.
Either you're a troll, or you're very confident that everybody shares your opinion, or you're trying to act smart on the internet. Either way, as an Apple laptop owner, I'll be upgrading when the intel powerbook is released. Why? For speed. The intel powerbooks will be faster. I'm not worried about being left behind as a PPC user, I'm pretty confident Apple will continue to support their legacy users. Hell, AOL still releases their AIM client as a FAT binary (the 68k/PPC version, not the PPC/Intel type). The 2ghz intel Powerbooks will represent a 20-50% jump in speed over their top of the line G4 brethen; and a 400% jump over my current 550mhz G4 Powerbook.
In addition to getting a faster toy, you get possible dual windows booting, significantly faster windows emulation, and scores of other features that will be realized as people start to write more and more x86 specific code. The jump to Intel won't be as major as the jump from OS9, so there's little reason to stick with what will quickly become "legacy" hardware. And I'm sure many long time apple users are willing to stick it out another 6-9 months for a proper upgrade; I certianly am.
office depot uses el cheapo closed circut television and usually forget to change over the 8 hour tapes exactly after they've finished. there's usually a 2-3 hour gap in the tapes from 11am-3pm. we've had weirder people come in than Rabbis before. just pay with cash and you'll be fine; we sell probably a thousand sheets of that stuff a day, more in feb-march when all the college students are preparing resumes for summer internships.
If it's crane paper, it's a good chance it is linen. Otherwise, swing by your local office depot and ask for "cotton paper" - it'll be next to the post-it notes. (may be different for office max or staples - people mix them up alot)
...or the 27 episodes from the twilight zone marathon from the 4th of july I haven't finished getting through. Luckily B&W video compresses well. Only takes up about 3 hours of color video.
Agreed. It's nice to know if the tornado's gonna sweep through your neighborhood or not; usually the winds are so high at that point that you can't keep signal on a sattellite dish. We abandoned cable (able to weather tornado winds) long ago since comcast is the only provider in our area, and rases rates every 6 months.
Since at least NHL 2001, there's been a morale meter, and when you get it full (by scoring more goals), it seems everyone's stats go up by about 50%. If your bar goes below 25% full (usually hovering between 40 and 60%, peaking at 100% maybe five times in an average game), when the opposing team scores a bunch of goals and body checks, your team loses about 25% of their regular stats.
Ironically, my girlfriend and I are about to break up; she's scheduled to go on a picnic with another girl and two guys from her internship several states away.
What they're trying to tell you is, if you're a 12th level Unix Mage, it wouldn't hurt to pick up a 2nd level XP Paladin. If your party's level 15 XP Paladin dies, the party still needs the Paladin's basic skills, like light network healing and saving patch all infected computers roll abilities. You can keep working on getting your level 18 Unix Mage, with the Write kernel from scratch Feat, but you're gonna have to make some sacrifices for the party to keep it moving forward.
I'm curious as to what you mean by "off the floor". I'm familiar with most of the basic terms, green sand, ingots, crucibles, dross, etc etc, but I haven't come across this term before. I worked retail at a chocolate shop and had an older man tell me his similar tale about the golden age of the foundry industry when small shops cast engine blocks & whatnot for large companies.
I'm melting Aluminum @ 1400 degrees F (ish) in a steel bucket lined with concrete to make sailing hardware. Oh, and I build my own wooden boats (another exercise in mathematics and logic). Both have been practiced for thousands of years, although I think they cast iron more often than aluminum "back in the day".
Gracias. DTP looks to me like DLP. Sort of like in the late 90's when the big buzzword was B2B... you mean P2P? No, Buisness to Buisness. All the magazines assumed you knew what it was, took me a week or two to figure it out.
It's true, but it's designed so that buisnesses don't lease a consumer DSL line, and expect to run a web server off it full time. They lease commercial DSL lines for that sort of thing, same (peak) bandwidth as consumer, but much higher sustained. Doesn't mean you can't RUN a lightweight SSL, HTTP, FTP or other server for personal use. It's much easier to throw a file in the "website" folder of your computer and send your tech-inept friend a web link to download than explain FTP or AIM file transfer. I've been on SBC, Verizon DSL and Comcast cable, and never had a problem.
Actually, the computer is $200, + $50 monitor + $50 Dell branded POS lexmark printer. That means it's less than half the cost of your listed computer, being $200, versus your $450. Of course, Dell rapes you on the shipping (plus tax!) for $125.
The problem is, most people don't know how to use a car. Mercedes has simplified the starting procedure to the point that you put your keychain in a socket and push a button. After that you push one pedal to go, one pedal to stop. Most people are completely oblivious to what the tachometer does, nor do they care. I'd guess 30% of the population could use a manual transmission car if it were an emergency. Most car makers have removed, or dumbed down all of the diagnostic readouts on the car's condition. Water temp, oil temp & pressure, battery voltage and more are often not included at all. When they are included, they're represented with an "idiot light" that says "service vechicle immediately". When there is a gauge with needle, it's electronically controlled so that unless it's sensing extremes, the needle will stay in the very middle. This is well documented on mustangs, as the oil pressure needle doesn't rise or fall as the engine spins up or down (as it should), it simply stays in the middle because people were bringing the car in, worried about that. Now your oil pressure has to drop below lubricating levels for the needle to move from the middle.
Computers will always be a mystery to some people. Until there is a four icon menu system (Word processor, internet, email, power) with fisher price simplicity, the vast majority of people will continue to be afraid to use computers.
Despite popular conception, Kinkos is NOT the cheapest place to make copies or do binding. They're sort of like the Starbucks of printing; they're everywhere and charge about double the going rate everywhere else. Office Depot does spiral binding for about $2.50 (it's pretty labor intensive). You can do "fast binding" which is more permenant, looks a hell of a lot nicer, and more durable for about $0.70 a "book". Double sided printing and paper cutting is also about a third the cost of kinko's.

What are you talking about? They send me new free releases all the time! That's why everyone's investing so heavily in distributed networks, isn't it?
/hasn't paid for software since 2000, except for the student price ($5) MS Office:Mac

Do what I do at home! Set your videoconferencing computer's IP address to be in the DMZ (demillitarized zone)!
Hey, it works for bit torrent....
meaning the gap starts and ends somewhere between 11am and 3pm

i'm gonna go with the ides of may (not march) - may 15, 1995
Ironically, my girlfriend and I are about to break up; she's scheduled to go on a picnic with another girl and two guys from her internship several states away.
My apologies on the DnD syntax; it's been 3+ years since I cracked open my v3.0 (first printing) players guide.
