A lot of car stereos work like that. Press the station button once and it goes to it. Press and hold the station button and it sets the station. Usually have similar things to set the clock and so on.
Now all you people know why Radio Shack used to ask for your name, address and phone number. It's part of a government coverup to track capaciter sales.
I saw the teaser trailing a while ago on the Finding Nemo DVD. Looks hilarious - superhero coming out of retirement.
However this new trailer makes the movie look completely different - a superhero team all very much in the now.
Either way,it's PIXAR so I'll be seeing it and when the kids get the DVD, I'll be seeing it again and again. About the only thing that may make this different is the characters are people as opposed to talking animals and toys etc...
That would be the requirement I'm talking about. Wasn't that way before...used to be they'd all open up just fine with quicktime, just some were embedded, some weren't.
When I took my driving test in Georgia years ago, the book they give you to study from talks about how you can go around on the right if there is room, yet on the test, when a question about that came up, the correct answer was to wait for the person to turn.
It looks like OpenGroupWare does wonders according to other posts here.
The clincher is that you have to purchase the piece that lets Outlook talk to it. I think (at least I know in my enviromnet) that a move away would have to be cheap (ie free)
We're a university. We have the Microsoft Campus Agreement, so we get Office Pro and lots of other MS stuff for "free". We pay academic pricing for exchange, which is dirt cheap ($1200ish). So something we'd have to purchase to get people to move to a free thing won't fly.
I agree. I don't know why no cable company has worked out a deal with the Beeb yet to carry BBC1, BBC2, etc... I'm sure they could work out the financial details.
BBC America is a joke. It's like PBS with commercials.
That's kinda interesting because a bit ago in the Atlanta market, CBS's local affiliate was bought out by UPN, therefore pushing CBS into the UHF range (not that it matters for cable, but for over-the-air it was quite a shock).
At least I think that's the way it happened. Perhaps it was FOX now that I think about it.
You have the Soundblaster...or is it the SB16, SB AWE, SB32, SB Live! SB Audigy (1 or 2). Okay...all those pretty much are the same. But then you have other cards with completely seperate chips (ES1371 or something) also labeled as SB PCI.
Modems are pretty bad with this as well. Change a component and one number but call it the same product, and then make 20 special versions for OEM's.
I liked the concept of RingWorld and will be glad to see this movie.
However, there was something about Larry Niven's writing style that I just couldn't stand. I had to force myself to get through Ringworld. I have a copy of Ringworld Engineers that I have yet to pick up due to my dislike of his style.

Definatly a limited input device.
Wow...talk about playing with my motion sickness. Feel like when I played Descent!!!
Still--pretty cool...nice scenery here and there.
The theme to DS9 made me sleepy. Voyager was similar. TNG at least gets out there and grabs you.
I haven't made up my mind about Enterprise yet. It's okay, but the guy sounds constipated...even if he is some famous opera singer.

Okay...why the hell is iTunes required to watch a video now? Must be taking a page from the MS tie-in book.
Well, the sunlight may be dimming but we are more than making up for it with the amount of light that we are putting out at night.
Take a look at some of the satellite images here.

Go figure.
C'mon...get a clue. Nickel is not expensive. It costs me $0.05!

Just need a free MAPI provider.

You have a much better memory than me :)

All I remember is trying to watch channel 46 back in the 70's with rabbit ears

I remember visiting where my mom used to live. My grandmother took me to visit one of her older friends, whose grandson was there.
She asked him if he played D&D (since she knew I played), and her friend started on about how it's the devils game, etc...
I think that really changed my grandmothers opinion of this old friend of hers.
If he finds a very large boat stuck on top of a mountain, there are very few possibilities as to which boat it might be.
Very simple test - if the boat is covered and filled with animal shit...that's probably the boat!
after all, they were already movies and you just had to click to keep them going - phantasmagoria comes to mind.
Look at creative.

What a pain.
Yeah...the original draft had something like that until I realized I didn't know jack about string theory :)
Hey...that's not the wallet inspector!
Tried the pre-release...kept getting the blue dimension of death.
or a question on a geek test.
Have you ever implemented the dice roll tables from AD&D in a program?
(ie. typed the chart in so the computer could understand it!)
Buy a steadicam - IIRC that's what they actually used in the movie :)

That would work too...thus elimnating the need for the vehicle to carry mass quantities.
