I was in Central PA. The sun sunk below the mountains before it even started. I used a welders shield.
I was a bit disappointed as Philly was predicted at 0%, Pittsburgh was at 22% and I'm in the middle so I was think maybe 10%. Damn mountains.
I don't understand the american "couponomany" anyway. Coupons suck! You have to mail them and then you have to wait for a year till you get anything.
Why not lower the price of the product in the first place? It would make a market a lot more transparent.
Why? It's called float. They use your money in short term investments.
On the other hand my last 4 rebates took about 3-7 weeks to get back to me.
...is just setting themselves up for nice cushy jobs in the private sector when they leave the government service. How much does anyone want to bet that Michael Powell winds up a senior VP or on the board of one of the bigger internet companies or a telco when he leaves government.
So what would you suggest government people do? Stay til they die? Become welfare bums?
People speak of Three Mile Island as if it was some kind of disaster, but it didn't hurt anybody or anything. The worst that happened from TMI was the destruction of the reactor itself (which is a bit of a disaster alone, since those things cost billions).
I'd like to see some data on cancer rates in the area since the little incident.
Where did you get the idea that a Tivo is useless if the company goes under? You "control the hardware" just as much with a Tivo as you would with a PC-based PVR.
I beg to differ. What is to say they don't send along a kill command right before they go under, that renders the unit useless?
Carmack said he moved all of his code to C++. Was most of his past development with Objective-C? I'm guessing it was, since he used NeXT as his development platform for such a long time.
So you suspect that your paswords are crackable? Here's an obvious idea: Every week run a 4 hour crack attempt on your password database. Users who come up with bad passwords must change them upon the next log in. If a user can't pick a decent password 3 times in a row, then a random password is assigned to them (or you pick one for them).
Shzaam@! No more bad passwords!
yeah and then after the 5th call before 10AM to have the password reset because the user can't remember the randomly generated one, you'll just allow them to use their dog's name again.
Okay, knowing full well how Westminster style Parliament works (Ie: Canada, Australia, UK, etc), is the US system different?
I guess what I'm asking is, if a bill is passed by the house, does it then have to be passed by the senate and then the president? Or can the house do it all by itself?
A bill has to be passed by both houses in the US before it goes to the President.

I used to do this all the time when the ftp ratio sites were big.

while I think a little more regulation shold be done, requiring someone who is an expert say in nails to go do work in farming.
Well you may actually leave but as other posters have stated you'll still be paying taxes, and that's what counts.
So what would you suggest government people do? Stay til they die? Become welfare bums?
well then according to EchoStar merger if they get approval they an provide broadband to everyone in the US
Gnomedex
bull. I ran Napster and Kazaa a few times. I always knew exactly what I was sharing ( 0 files).
Okay then, what is their agenda? US leave the Middle East? Destruction of Israel?
Every time I mention this about a Tivo, I get bombarded with "why would they do that to their customers." ow it looks liek SonicBlue is doing it. HA.
Actually their purpose was to kill people.
Yeah okay, so I didn't really vote for Bush.
I'd like to see some data on cancer rates in the area since the little incident.
There is a bank here that has hours on Sunday

Could you explain to me how the Sunni and the Shi'ites came to be?
Actually it was a combo of LISP,Ada, and Fortran.

It pisses me off that Oddworld is an Xbox only game. if I wanna continue with the quintology I'll have to get an Xbox.
People still listen to radio?
yeah and then after the 5th call before 10AM to have the password reset because the user can't remember the randomly generated one, you'll just allow them to use their dog's name again.
Yeah that'd be effective.

They are two separate things, why would and how could NAI stop GPG?
