There's a world of difference between a radio DJ and a turntablist and nobody with ears could confuse the two.
This is just you typical lounge/bar DJ who's keeping the crowd happy. They don't generaly come for the music or the DJ, they just come for the general vibe and a good DJ will feel it and keep people there.
I'm just concerned about the sound quality on a real sound system at volume. Anyone have experience with this that can offer encoding tips?
When I moved a year ago and got a new number, i was amazed my how many telemarketing calls I was getting. Working at home, perhaps I just noticed it more, but it was at least 3 calls a day.
To see if the telezapper might work, I recorded the SIT tone onto my answering machine before my message and lowered the ring count to 2 rings for a month. Screened all calls. Now I recieve maybe one a week. I don't think I want that tone every single time I answer the phone, so I just keep in on my answering machine and bumped the ring count back to 4.
I highly recommend doing this if they are driving you nuts. Here's a.wav of the SIT tone.
I've never tried this on linux, but couldn't you just set both gateways to a metric of 1? I think you need to run routed for this to work, but in theory this should send requests out over each line. Anyone tried this?
For incoming connections, if both IPs are static you can simply run dns on each IP and roundrobin between them. Will work fine for most purposes.
According to Qwest's FAQ, they were started in the same way.
How long has Qwest been in business? In 1988, Southern Pacific Telecom was established as a subsidiary of Southern Pacific Railroad to lay telecom cable. This subsidiary was purchased by The Anschutz Company. The company began offering limited long distance services in 1991, changed its name to Qwest Communications in 1995, and incorporated in 1996 when it began construction of the Qwest Macro Capacity Fiber Network. Joe Nacchio was appointed CEO in January 1997 and Qwest made its Initial Public Offering in June 1997.
Is this some kind of sham that the railroad execs pull everytime they gets a subsidy to build out new lines? Can anyone shed more light on the history of this? Or is this just misinformation. Sprint's history page make no mention of Southern Pacific, and dates itself back to a 1899 as a telephone and utilities upstart.
That's not realistic at all. A record company pays the band, pays for the recording, pays massive amounts to put a band on tour, for promotion, the pressing of CDs, etc.
If the record doesn't sell, and the shows don't sell, they're out plenty of cash. Please keep in mind that their are plenty of labels out there that don't have deep pockets and have plenty to lose.
Check out NYC Wireless. They started with just a node or two. Don't know how many now, but I hear it's going well. They also have plenty of links to other resources and HOWTOs.
You can always make your own to save yourself a few bucks. Of course, it's probably more trouble than it worth. But, if you're the DYI type check out http://www.rccentral.com/guides.asp?ATCL_ID=51
That'll give you a little primer on what's involved. It's geared towards hobby RC cars, but you could adapt this for phones pretty easily.
I also make it a point to stay with NMH batteries when possible. They actually get batter after a little use, and no need to drain them completely before you charge them again.
I actually enjoy most baseball movies, and I'd say Costner was actually pretty good once, but that movie sucked. Annoying timeshifting, trite subject matter, and completely pretentious.
On the good side though, it'll cure your insomnia.
It has S-video out, just not in. I personally think it matters little since I record on basic quality and everything gets mpeged to hell, but I guess it might do something for the quality at highest level.
Then again, the docs for my Series 2 recommend NOT using coax input due to some static problems. I just use the RCA in and it works just fine.
Somewhat offtopic, but since you brought up AMD...
Ars has a story yesterday relating to Microsoft and AMD getting in bed together and Microsoft insisting that Intel incorporate AMD's x86 64-bit instructions over their own IA64 code. It may all be rumor, but it's intriguiging. Check it out.
You'll have to scroll down to "x86 64-bit support for Windows".
How does browsing like you described effect the "exit page" feature of these programs?
I always figured they were using some kind of best-guess algorithm...ie. first page off session would be without a local referer, last page of session would be last page visited with a local referer since session start. Pulling the links over to another window, I'm pretty sure, sends the referer over. It might screw with the "visit path" features, but not with session time or exit page.
Can anyone with more experience shed some light on how it is done?
Yup, my parents got one of these sets last year. I was pretty impressed. You don't even need cable for it to work. You just give it you ZIP and at some point during the week it will tune into some channel and download the info. Download staton icons, description and everything. Anyone have more information on it?
I saw another similiar case on a documentary one time with trees. While not cellular, it's certainly interesting. Apparently if an animal came along and started eating at the leaves or bark of the tree, it would release a chemical into the air. Surrounding trees would then start producing something to make them less appetizing to the hungry beasts.
I don't remember the name of the tree and a quick Google search didn't turn up anything. Anyone familiar with it?
I don't know if I'd classify these actions as communication, but it is neat to see the creative ways nature comes up with to preserve itself.
The first version (that I saw anyway) was clearly using Monopoly-The-Game inspired graphics, including the little guy. That's what probably gives them a case. I'd have to say it's fair if you started out ripping off the trademarks in the first place.
Peer pressure bring on a new profoundness when everyone around you has an M16.
Considering the requirement for an MRE, I'd say the ones I've eaten were pretty good. Definately not great, but either is alot of the crap I pull out of my microwave.
I'd just be concerned about the "sachets of oxygen-scavenging chemicals". I know they will say DO NOT EAT, but you just know some fool will think it's salt and then asphyxiate on his own blood supply.
Besides, isnt this just a Hot Pocket (yummmm) jammed with preservatives?
If you live in NYC, try looking up sometime. About every third building (even you standard 5 story prewar) in Manhattan has some sort of wireless antenna on it. I'm sure the providers are paying about as mouch as you standard 2 bedroom apartment + equipment. It may not be trivial, but the market is so dense, it pays for itself. You also don't have the overhead of buying property, building a tower (+ plus greasing the people in charge of zoning laws), and bitchy neighbors.
Besides, the radio eqipment is the same. I'm not sure how they do it, but I would assume that each radio site is connected back to some kind of central office with racks of routers and whatnot. You don't have to actually do much to each cell site. If anyone has more info on how it's actually connected and what needs to be upgraded, please comment.

heh... Obviously. It would have been one thing if i did it once, but twice clearly signals that I should stop huffing my Dust-Pro canned air.

The best part is, that after the mad dash to change from a BSD/Apache setup over to IIS is that they are still running a MySQL backend.
This is about as embarrassing as the time I accidentally mixed up my boss's 12 year-old son's site with shemalesonline.com

"The TSR also:
Restricts calling times to the hours between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Requires telemarketers to tell you it's a sales call and who's doing the selling before they make their pitch.
Prohibits telemarketers from lying or misrepresenting any information"
Well now that would be refreshing, wouldn't it?
