These remind me of the desks that Y.T.'s mom had, courtesy of the Feds. Their goal was to not give you any room for papers or personal items, to remind you that you are completely replaceable and cookie-cutter. Fun, eh?
Wha? I stuck PC RAM into my Apple LC 475, circa 1993. apple-history.com lists 30 pin SIMMs back to the Mac Plus, from 1986, and I'm pretty sure those are standard PC RAM sticks. You could argue that Macs pre-'86 were not expandable, but not that they used proprietary memory.
Yes. And yes. Both of which were running on an extremely crusty old Mac. Actually, it was more like a 50-75 CPU server, and a database server, all in one. I would love to see what OSX could do with that site...mmm.
Ag school? When I saw PSU I thought Penn State (has an ag school, but appears to be mostly a liberal arts school), U of Puget Sound (has no ag school), or Portland State (has no ag school). Which did I miss?
I got one of these a few months ago, and it's been a lot of fun. I leave it on my coffee table, and it's a conversation piece (I guess it helps to have stoner friends). My cats hate it a lot, they tend to wrinkle up their noses and run away.
I can't say that battery life has been a problem like he described, i've had the same set in since I got it. It doesn't push them with much force, but you can get better distance with practice. One thing i've found that helps the quality of the ring is to cover the smokehole with your hand while you pull the fog trigger, as if you don't, it will dribble smoke out. This produces thicker rings.
Just don't try and use it in a room with a fan on, it will blow it right away. One thing that was neat about that was discovering the airflow patterns in my house, and which windows are really drafty.
It's been more than $20 worth of fun, I think (just making your friends laugh like mine did is worth that) And no, I don't work for the company that makes or sells it, just an amused customer.
I use AIM constantly on my T-Mobile Sidekick (the phone showed on the website you referenced). I have the old plan, with 200 minutes, unlimited weekends, and unlimited internet for 40$ a month. I absolutely need unlimited internet (I usually use around 20MB a month), and they still offer unlimited internet with any Sidekick plan for 20$ extra with the new plans.
It feels very much like a 'real' client. It's very easy to use, compared to an SMS interface (ew). It's a client that's built into the Sidekick, as opposed to a web-based client. I love it. Speaking of web, it's the only phone I've found that will show images from the web.
As for their wireless web coverage, it's been just fine in major cities (Seattle, SF, Minneapolis, Hartford, and more), and even some not-so-major (Yakima, WA, Missoula, MT, Torrington, CT, and way more) that I've visited lately. It surprises me how much coverage it gets across the country (I'm currently on a cross-country drive, and it's been my godsend!). If you live along the Seattle-Hartford trail, and I'm going through your city, just ask and I'll tell you how it is there.
I have an original iBook, and didn't purchase APP with it, but after the first repair it needed (let my cousin play with it, CD drive mysteriously wouldn't stay shut after), decided it was worth it. 3 power adapters (the connector end fritzed on two of them, the cord that attaches to the saucer fritzed on one), 2 batteries, 2 motherboards (power plug [and adapters, see above] fritzes because it's placed right where it sits on my leg, pressing up on it), a modem, a keyboard, and...I think that's all. I'm incredibly hard on my laptops, and I shudder to think how much those repairs would have cost without. Now that my APP has expired, I'm trying to be more careful;) The only thing that APP didn't cover: when my boyfriend stepped on it, breaking the LCD screen. I literally bought APP on the last day possible, with borrowed money, because I knew I would need it, and it was worth it.
You're right on two counts, we should demand to see the code, but say they did sneak some GPL code in, they (concievably) would have a date for that code mod, and (hopefully) we would be able to trace who and when it was submitted. Plus, by them using GPL'd code, wouldn't they have to release their source too? Mmmm, yummy.
BuyMusic.com also restricts how many computers, devices, and burns you can do with the song. WMA is a proprietary format (Open source from MS? Bwahahaha) I would love to point out bad things in their licenses as well, but their site says: In order to take full advantage of BuyMusic.com's offerings you must be on a Windows Operating System using Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher. So much for giving love to Mac users.
The article says: "They say the four stole the video from a school filing cabinet where Ghyslain had stored a video camera he was using for a student project."
Funny, I went to the Best Buy in my hometown, and after looking at all the models on display to no avail, when I asked for it, they looked at me funny. Must just be me.
isn't even listed! How can I comment on the pending legislation to define marriage as containing a 'man and woman' only? It wasn't a choice! I thought about choosing Pornography (which would reflect the administration's view), but give me a break! Is that just a sign showing that they shall allow no debate about gay marriage?
Sounds like David from The Office (one of my favorite shows of all-time!). The most awful boss in the world, who thinks he's the greatest, everyone loves him and his 'artistic' soul. It's a show that makes you cringe while wanting more;) I can't wait to read this book.
Arggh! I did this when I was younger as well, trying to strip the outer insulation off of the phone wire with my teeth, and the wires just happened to touch my tongue as the phone rang (yeah, I grabbed the wrong wire to strip). Couldn't feel my tongue for weeks...

Worked in retail? At least they do us a favor and give us shorter hours on 'holidays', usually. Not to mention, don't let us take time off from the middle of November until January 2nd:(
Pay taxes in Washington? King County? Tukwila even? Even bought a Washington lottery ticket? Feel like this is a waste of your money? Write a letter (Tukwila School District 4640 S 144th St. Tukwila, WA 98168), or email or call the Superintendent (Michael Silver, silverm@tukwila.wednet.edu, 206.901.8009). Sadly, the actual board members or chairman have no contact info listed, and email to lastnamefirstinitial@tukwila.wednet.edu bounces for the Chairman. As a person with a few years of tech support experience for Washington school districts (luckily, not Tukwila), I find it not unsurprising that this would happen, but it disgusts me nontheless.

Or, he could just assume that people know how to use Google. Try these.

It's going well, thanks, we're in Missoula, MT right now, about to leave. You can follow Bernie's journal for updates.
That's very true, and I would hate to see it struck down thanks to MS, so maybe I'll quit wishing.
Hey you, it's Acetone. Nice to see you posting.

What? Which government system? The US's says: Congress can override that veto with a vote of two-thirds of both houses. (Don't laugh at the linked site. It's the most accessable political site I've ever read.)

Mercury DVD, a local Seattle company rents adult DVDs via mail (and delivery in the area).
MACINTOSH == Most Applications Crash, If Not, The Operating System Hangs. :-D (stolen from Macworld Mac and Power Mac Secrets, 2nd edition)
For the humor impared, I'm a Mac user, not a troll, and just thought that was a funny acronym.
That's a hell of a lot, considering only 20 million Americans smoked pot this year.
What others? Admittedly, I don't get out of Washington much, but I thought they were the only ones with a crazy law like that.
