I have noticed that when I send my three dvd's back sometimes I get two back, sometimes one. I do try to keep them together in a three pack as it makes the "watching" (dvdshrink) easier. If they are going to throttle the movies, maybe I should throttle my monthly payment to them?
It automatically boots up and links in to a cellular data service, turning itself into an access point. Turn on your laptop, join the network and voila -- you're on the net! It's just like using a hotspot (such as they have at Starbucks and airports), but it goes anywhere you car goes. Some people have even hauled them around in backpacks to make themselves into a walking network access site. (http://www.stompboxnetworks.com/)
I have been very happy with the service. I am considering putting a harddrive in it as it runs on a CF Card now.

Only a liberal would assume it is "evil" to legally avoid taxes. Liberals dont like tax avoidance because it lowers the amount of money they can re-distribute to other democratic voters. If those guys figured out how to keep more of what they have earned, more power to them. Liberals are destroying this country.
Blaming Halliburton for being corrupt is so tired. You are telling me that 12,000(ish) individual stockholders all looked the other way? Im not buying it. Shrewd does not always mean unethical. While you and your liberal buddies like to pile-on Halliburton, Mr. Clinton signed the original no-bid contract with Halliburton; they are the only company in the world capabile of pulling off some of the tasks requested of them. Do some research before you casually slam a corporation. There is no such thing as a corrporation, there are only groups of people engaged in a common goal. In Halliburton's case BIG revenues. Oh and before you reply, revenue is NOT inherently bad. Coorporations have a responsibilty to be profitable, but you probably wouldnt understand that.
I can almost hear your anger that sKerry lost in your rantings..and for those of you who think your grief and disappointment justify your pious nastiness and blame-shifting for your own failures: Do keep in mind that it is precisely such self-indulgence and arrogance that costs you elections.
This is nothing more than a "Popular Vote" count. Our founding fathers warned us of the dangers of a Popular Vote count. Similar to three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
...And of course the Teletubbies folder *MUST* be kept from Madagascar & Kyrgyzstan for its sensitive TOP SECRET information it contains. John was a secret operative as you already knew...
How about a gigE NAS solution here? You can get a 3TB (raw) NAS solution from EMC these days for $6k (it is an AX100). The question remains, what is your data worth?
Will L.A. County officials put their money where their mouths are and buy all new equipment to replace any that uses this offensive terminology? Or are they too niggardly?
No jury would convict her, true. But what the RIAA (and DTV for that mater) is relying on is that 'Joe America' can't AFFORD to defend themselves...but they MIGHT can scrap together ~$2,000.00. The numbers they are asking for are not coincidence.
If had it to do all over again, I'd do like the Rockdale County students did and start an after-hours Highschool Sex Club!!!
"The fact that Rockdale's teens chose sex as their tool for rebellion is not that bizarre when the behavior is placed in context. Drugs and alcohol aren't always easy to obtain; however, sexuality is something the teens carry with them." Good thing the Baptist here in GA saved those kids from alcohol!

When will the Hollywood types figure out that you cant squeeze a balloon?
"Shutting off" Bram's site only creates 3 other more useful sites.

I hate tailgaters too...but what REALLY bugs me is when you get right up on somebody and they wont move over!!!!
I dont know about you guys, but this problem comes up time and time again and just haunts me! What to do, ohhh, what to do?!?!
In this time of gift giving and hustle and bustle...lets not forget the true reason for the season, the birth of Santa.

You can always tell who is going to get arrested while watching COPS. Its simple. It is the guy who is NOT wearing a shirt.
