    Unfortunately, the MacBook Air didn't pass the mil spec requirements in time (if at all) and the one you don't see is running Linux.

    Personally, I value my time too much, so I don't rat or mine or anything of that type for money. Selling GTCs keeps me in money so I can fly in fleets or solo and have fun.

    What I have heard is that at night, he used a condom as she asked, but when it came to morning he did not, even though he knew it was her preference. Hardly rape in my book though.

  4. Re:Dropped call rate of 0.1%?! on Consumer Reports Gives AT&T Lowest US Carrier Rank · · Score: 1

    There are three factors that cause dropped calls, from your end; low signal strength, failed cell handover and high volume on the cell. So if you never have low strength, and live in a low volume area, you won't see dropped calls often. People living in NY and other high volume areas, and people in the boonies see dropped calls quite a bit though. Also, if you are driving, you can lose a call while being handed over from cell to cell.

    While driving up to Long Island a month or so ago, I was actually surprised when my VZW, BB Storm rang in the middle of the Lincoln Tunnel. I thought that was physically impossible.

    In order to get a cell phone on a monthly plan, you need decent credit. When I went to dump my ex wife off my cell phone plan, they wanted $2k deposit because her credit rating was "bad", and this for an account that had been open and paid routinely for a couple years.

    That is a good point, maybe the airlines should start offering a poll to the people flying asking them their feelings about the new security screenings. And I would especially look forward to a poll of pilots and stewards finding out their feelings.

    This is why I am divorced. I can forgive once, but any more then that shows a lack of respect for me (and our children) I now have the kids, house, and child support, and she has her new husband. All this in a state that usually shafts the man.

  12. Re:No Point of Failure in Sight on Google eBookstore Launched · · Score: 1

    The Nook color is out for $250. Did a Google search and it comes up as the first non sponsored ad. It doesn't have the battery life of the Nook I expect, but not a bad price for a 7" color Android tablet.
    This kind of makes me wish I hadn't bought the wifi nook already, it is much better for the cost.

    Some people just don't appreciate the length, I never had an issue with it and rather enjoyed the books, but the Cycle split up into three books each took me about a month, which is quite a long read for me.

    360, yes, but original Xbox? The Wii? No, I have the Wii and this does not work. However, if you mod the Wii, you lose the network functionality, but gain the ability to use copied disks (so you can store the original) and the homebrew channel, which allows DVD playback, and other things the console isn't allowed to do, but should be allowed to do.

    That's kind of funny. I am Catholic, I went through Sunday school, and this is what I was always taught, the trinity is three in one, separate but equal, while still being separate facits of the same god. But, I was replying to a post that was wondering why Jesus is being equated to God, and your post seemed to agree with that part of my post as well, the trinity is all God, so therefore, Jesus is part of God as well.

    And for that matter resell it, which is the root of this case. I believe modding your own console in your own home is a legal thing to do now according to precedent. The difference here is that he was reselling, so it needs to be nailed out in the courts one way or another. But like you, I agree with the defendant here, what he is doing should not be illegal, it is no different then selling modded iPhones, and should be protected.

    You must not have kids or live in a dorm room as the above mentioned. My kids are always leaving their Wii games and DVDs sitting out without cases. No matter how many times they get reminded, they will forget when they want to play the next game. I imagine it is much the same with the people commonly found in dorms.

    Granted, my children are in elementary school, and dorms usually refer to college age, but college age + beer usually results in elementary level thought patterns, so I can see it.

  25. Re:Xbox 360 vs. Wii and original Xbox on Judge Berates Prosecutors In Xbox Modding Trial · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that modding also allowed for the backup of games you have legally bought to the hard drive contained in the unit. This allows for faster load times, and less likelihood of a damaged disk causing the game to no longer run. This is a non infringing use as far as I know, unless they try to count the copying as breaking encryption, which I doubt it does.
