I have to stop reading any further. No need. Any thign Ibuy in the past few years needs a knife, a pair scissors and or pilers to open. And has lots of tamper proof seals to show clear unwrapping / opening. I bought a nose-hair trimmer: seal in clear plastic > hard plastic > crimped unpriable around all freaking edges. A frigging $10 buy. Opened my new cell phone: wrapped in plastic > seals everywhere a joint / meeting occurs. Try flim flaming that. Bought a 4-pack of stylus (stilii?:-) Small & narrow flat package > clear hard plastic > crimped all around. Awkward pakaging for a human to open. No way to open that without a pen knife, a pair scisssors and 3 hands. No kidding. If a $4 pakage (and cheaper items similarly) can readily evince handling wtf not a piece of electronics.
When one of these lists-of-unknowns rolls out invariably again, can one of you brilliant posters roll out a web page with jpgs of these folks and get yourself modded informative! Ahhh, please. It's a drag to copy and paste and search repeat.
Betamax copies of movies like Star Wars for $100... Eventually, prices dropped
For the record, prices begun to drop to current scales ONLY when "Top Gun" was released for $19.99 and was a resounding megaseller, thus enlightening Hollywood.

wha? pirates in asia long ago copied hollywood dvd's precisely doing bit-for-bit copying. and if i ascribe accurately, us law is moot on this form of copying. a fair use backup. descrambling and copying are two things. not one.

Thank gas for your words brother. I've been thinking the same shit for a !handful! of years. If anyone has followed or has historical memory of this guy since, oh, say, 1999, 2000 I think, you've had the feeling I've certainly had: wtf is going on man, either I'm not getting the issue, I've been busy elsewhere and not following the issues, over and over and over again, or this fucking guy is on the different planet. I only thought so till now because I don't recall anyone saying what you've said in essence: what's up with this guy.
Only an idiot takes cellphones abroad without reading ALL of their plan. Really. This is not the first time nor the last we'll read about some sucker who misunderstood / did not quite understand / thought it was on or off or sideways his cell plan or cellphone. Read the archives. I am not going to go into wtf I would take an expensive piece of electronics, highly stealable, through various customs and ports, fragility issues, and my family and I ALL had to have one each in case eany or miny lost their iphone and miny came to the rescue.
Look folks should prepare for the worst. In case I you she he they the dog the cat or the bellhop accidentally turned on the phone there is one true way to prevent this REMOVE THE FUCKING BATTERY.
Now I am paranoid. I really would have done that. If the thing stilled worked some how and I was burned, hey, you would have a case.
Ooops this is Apple - no battery removal for you - remove the SIM. Hey man come on, you're a hipster, man, come on, drink your Pabst it's all good. Manuals are for the other guy. You do graphics, php, crafts chicks. K, I'll give you the craft chicks. ^.^

Dude why do you bother responding. Just wish the sot a happy-merry and lots of off (not really) cellphones around the next time he is hospitalized or in intensive care. Same for his wife, or kids. Let him an iphone kill'em, that'll teach him - maybe. Trolls die hard.
Am I the only who was mesmerized / puzzled / quixotic about that name as a child? ^_^ I thought I had it understood when a young actor was making an impact in the early 1990's - Forest Whitaker. Not quite.
Why Kelly keeps growing in entertainment value the longer I watch.
I do that too. But to set my car 2005 Honda Civic's radio clock I use my GPS navigation clock. Now that's more atomic than the phone company's. ^_^
Seriously though, I mainly synchronize my wristwatch visually to my pc clock after synchronizing it with nist. Theretofore I sync my kitchen clock, microwave clock, etc.
Funnily, in my teens I used to call att to sync my watch, etc. many times a week. Till my sister yelled at me for the phone charges in the monthly bill. I had thought the time service was free. Dumb kid I was! haha
The question I have been asking for months is why does Google not use httpS if I so desire on all their properties?
I can't believe that CPU cycles is the reason. You big farm guys tell me, is it so?
And has been noted elsewhere: only gmail, gcalendar and gdocs accept httpS. A plain google search does not honor it. Nor Gmaps! Sheer stupidity: yeah, I want anyone who wishes to know my most precious loved ones addresses, and where I am most likely to be in the next thirty minutes.
Not to mention, whilst I am encrypted to gmail, if I happen to perform a web or news search, say, my cookies leak out into http (as can be seen in the upper right the web page, viz your gmail address).
I tell you, I use Google Desktop for the searching convenience: [jfk to 10038^p] [dragon boat races^n] etc. But this leakage had crossed my mind before and it sours me on my good will toward them. Foolish stuff.
If the NPA-NXX is generally for a cell phone, Google can say that X block of numbers during Y time tends to make requests for Z.
Interesting but what is ``NPA-NXX?''
I find of near infinite value Google's SMS service ( http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mobile/sms/ ). ``abes of maine in linden nj'' ``hookers in 10038'' Just kiddin' Google SMS is not that useful yet. ``paramus nj to 10019'' ``t you have beautiful eyes. what's your name? to french''
In conjunction with your examples, and Google's knowledge of my uniqueness (Google Calendar (and Gmail) reminders via SMS: thus it knows my cell number, and my Gmail contents) the relevancy of ads would be not only synergistic for Google and advertiser but truly helpfully targeted and accurate. ^.^
All good. An example. I live in NYC, I just drove from Sandy Hook, NJ and was looking for 7-Eleven's on my route home along Route 35. My Garmin nav unit is woefully incomplete on 7-Eleven outlets! It's the chain's fault evidently. As some are listed and most are not. White Castle's is abysmal in the same regard, none are listed, and I have a todo item on my desk to write a paper letter to their headquarters berating them for such lost opportunity - stupidity. Anyway, I am contract free on my T-mobile account but I still wont splurge for a WWW / data plan plus the outlay of a new large screen telephone just to use maps.google.com's business search. Thus I rely on Google SMS. I would happily pay Google to free me from USA cellular company primitive, gouging service, and simultaneously strike a blow for meaningful cell service a la South Korea, Japan, Finland, Europe, etc. I get exited about the possibility to take a real step toward that direction vis-a-vis a Google cell phone.
Knowing Google apps usefulness hitherto I look forward to the possibility of a mobile I can speak to, ask where the nearest WaWa or 7-Eleven is located, and be guided to it via Google Maps or email driving directions, or SMS, or spoken real time GPS instructions! And if one day all such Google cell services are free (ad supported) or comparatively even priced as the above nations' price schemes the protectionist obstructionist dam gates will flood and real fun in wireless mobile will occur. Innovation in American mobile service is overdue, this idea is most heartening. I'll be laughing from New York to Japan.
Now that a lot of China, US Navy, submarine experts are here, say, what happened in *ASW procedures* regarding a news story of a few years back? ~2000.
The Chinese government reportedly was incensed and diplomatically complained that US Navy anti-submarine warfare chase, identify, harass practices of Chinese military submarines in international waters was out of bounds. China viewed these common Cold War practices as aggressive acts. While it might have been standard fare with the Soviet Union it was not for China, the Chinese government claimed.
Tangentially, is the old-style US v. USSR ASW practice continuing with Russia?
Someone explain WHY THE FUCK Google Maps ruotes are STILL inferior (i.e., generally longer) to Mapquest's?!
In March 2006 I was raving about Google Maps to someone when she said: Their routes are always too long compared to Mapquests, no thanks. I thought, this chick is ignorant, turned out I was the ignoramus. This was in Loudoun County, VA. I am a born New Yorker, "no sleep till Brooklyn," boy and till 4 weeks ago I endured GM. Finally, I added a bookmark[1] to Mapquests driving directions page (their site is a blight, ads and obfuscation, hence I had never really tried them before compared to GM's Tufte-like simplicity/power-of-information-conveyance).
Go ogle stop with the add-ons -- Street View; Low-level-zoom edifice schematics; subway station locations; Drag & drop the blue line to customize your route; Avoid highways; My Maps; and most annoying to a (dial-up) user the new 'enhancement' of "Link to this page?" which I formally used to unstick/refresh-complete the graphic tiles when they become stuck and left me with missing route tiles OR to alleviate Google servers loading kajillion layers OR endlessly loading gad-knows-what!!! Dangit three bangs as this one really annoys. *sigh* -- and fix the basics!
+ Fast routes. + Accurate routes! In NYC I once had GM direct me from one part of Williamsburg to another via the Williamsburg Bridge![2] + No toll routes!!! + Total tollS calculation! Come on! I want to know if a route from 10013 to 20147 is worth ~$17.50 in tolls or an extra 90 minutes of my travel time?! And if I had a scenic choice, WTF, no brainer. That Jersy Turnpike is a boring mother! And why the fuck is the Battery Tunnel always a vital route to Manhattan from Brooklyn[4]. What, you California boys are like Bloomberg, out of touch? FYI, 99.99% of New Yorkers take the effing Hicks street approach to the Brooklyn or Manhattan Bridges. Granted, MQ does the same fuggin thing in this respect, but, at least they offer "Avoid This" in their options. Although it's buried under "Add a Stop" and they drop the Web 2 Ou sliding map for a fixed old timey one. Good grief, get back to work you Manhattan Portege carriers. My, this was a long item. ^.^ <-- New school. Fuck that: =)
+ Integrate traffic congestion into ETA. Further, allow entering departure time, incorporate it to realistically PROGNASTICATE ETA thusly? Using my GPS/navi unit I know to add 15 minutes when leaving my environs for the Holland Tunnel; Belt Pkwy East AFTER 3 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays, and, 2 p.m. on Fridays. It's not magic, I have observed and can now predict the pattern. In New York City. But other routes' insights elude me, and Garmin tarffic covereage is limited to Metro areas and is not gratis. Geddit. Entre into meo corazao, de nuevo.

I want to know how to get to Brooklyn Brewery's faux, nominal[3], beer facilities from Red Hook, hipster nouveau. BTW Red Hook beer for sale in Fairways is from New Hampshire, and WA I think. I know I know, almost got me too. Oh, it got you? Soright, try Sam Adams Cream Stout, it's what I imagined Guiness ought to taste.

How about beating Mapquest MEANINGFULLY and the AAA for once. + Remove the 100 entry barrier to my favorites routes -- this one made me buy a GPS/navi unit. + May be I missed it but: Use/make a standard way of dumping route data to XML so I can harrass Garmin into a way to import it. Garmin sucks in this regard. Pointers welcome,/.'ers?
Now I use MQ for routing printouts, GM for easy VISUALIZATION of destinations, and GPS mapping. <-- Here MQ sucks dick. WTF, low haging fruit.
But, seriously why the fig has not GM improved the route algorithms?
Tangentially. I have a cell phone bill, car insurance bill, isp bill, but I give them all fake phone number contact information. When I had a landline I was the same. Point: I do not want to be bothered -- ever -- by cold callers, credit card companies' affiliates, etc. Thus they all get fake numbers. Only friends and family get my cell. If I foul up and somehow anyone majorly annoying would get through I'd change cell number.
I wonder:
Does anyone else do this?
Are we a growing set?
Does business care?
Will it one day care?
Do I care they would then care? No! ^_^ | =) | 555
Maybe it's just me, I don't want to be hassled. Perhaps others don't mind, at first, they just complain bitterly later that they are being hounded.
My email contact always works, though, so I give them a chance to reach me directly, somehow other than USPS mail.
