Those CD Doctors work great. As long as there isn't a hole in the CDs substrate, I've been able to repair CDs that I never thought I would be able to listen to again. One that sticks out in my mind was a RAtM CD that had sandpaper taken to it by my younger brother.
The only way that I'll (and most of my friends)buy a CD from a RIAA member band if it is in a Used CD Shop. Too bad they'll go after those as soon as they take care of PC's.
The lethal dose of THC is equvilent to a quarter-ton of high-grade Marijuana smoked in 15 minutes. This of course would be impossible, because you would die of smoke inhalation first. (Quick, lets outlaw fire.) Another fact the Gubmint doesn't want you to know. I do however wish I could remember the URL to back up my words.
I have a Tbird & an old Slot A and I haven't had the first problem with either of them. Now one of my friends on the other hand, has gone through 2 or 3 of them in the past 2 years (one of them was the exact same model as my Slot A).
Yes, but it was a bastardized, big square connection. It ran the keyboard & mouse, allowed you to adjust the volume on the built in speaker on the keyboard, and plug headphones into said speaker.
Homebrewed's right, we (the U.S.) just gave the Taliban $43M in May for Poppy Eradication. By using some people's logic, that means our politicians (or at least the DEA) are as much responsable as Mr. Zimmerman for the attack. I mean, the people of Afghanistan didn't see any of that money, so what are the chances that they DIDN'T use the money we gave them against us?
A lot harder to "secure" a room on the ground than in the air, genius. Hacking the freq. would be a problem, and the system would only be engaged in a emergency.
This is the letter I just sent to (one of) my local ClearChannel stations.
To whom it may concern,
I was appalled to learn today from one of my favorite message-boards www.slashdot.org that your parent company has decided to pull songs from their playlists due to "questionable content" concerning last Tuesday's tragic terrorist attack. While the attack was a horrible, horrible thing to happen, this decision is wrong headed, and is one of the knee-jerk reactions that the terrorists were hoping for. Your company has basically given in to the terrorist's "demands" that America changes it's ways, and I am ashamed & sorry that American media can be cowed this easily. I for one, have no dealings with censors or cowards, and will be boycotting your station & advertisers, as well as asking my friends & family to do the same. I will also be sending a list of "banned" songs to your competitors so they can spread the word as well.
Feel free to copy this letter if you also have a problem with this sort of behaviour.

You are very, very wrong....

I take it you've _NEVER_ worked at/from home even for a short period of time?
Jaysyn

It was $43M for "Opium Eradication" in May. Thanks DEA. Looks like our "War on Drugs" cost us more than we ever imagined.
Jaysyn
btw... I've always opened the computer up to check connections and such before powering it on. It just makes sense.

Jaysyn
You're right. It has the USB symbol on the back of the box (or one very similar) so I was confused. btw the keyboard is call a Vocalyst.
Jaysyn
why don't they just tatoo our foreheads and get it over with?
btw...IFAIK you already HAVE to have some form of ID if you are over 18 in the U.S. At least that's what the (Floridian) cop told me.

Compaq had their own drivers....

Yes, but it was a bastardized, big square connection. It ran the keyboard & mouse, allowed you to adjust the volume on the built in speaker on the keyboard, and plug headphones into said speaker.
Jaysyn
only if you want it there...

Ditto on all accounts + a few more (Compaqs)

and to top it all off, we just gave the Taliban $43M for Opium Eradication in May.
Jaysyn
Well, if they start taking cell phones, and only have knives, we know to attack....

You are right. There is absolutely no reason to use nukes. It would be like trying to swat a fly with a tractor trailer.
