I'll read the comments for sure, so my apologies if I'm asking something already asked. But as a current Cingular customer who's about to finish his local state plan, I'm thinking of going to a nationwide plan. Is anyone currently an AT&T or Cingular customer with such a plan? What do you like/don't like about your plan? If you could sign up for a different nationwide plan, which would you choose--and are they really that different?
True, but I didn't want to muck around with the formula, which apparently returns a value as a percentage (between 0 and 100). I'm thinking of adding in the field for the A variable, as I've yet to have a 100% or even a 2% value returned.
For those that didn't RTFM, the value for each variable should be on a scale of 1-9, with 9 being very high. A (aggrivation) should be 0.7 as set after the study. I put together something in PHP just to do the work for me. The biggest variable seems to be skill--with all others set to very high (9) it certainly "proves" that an idiot can totally screw stuff up.
See this archive on The Smoking Gun from a man arrested for doing the same thing in 2002. I guess someone else just took the hint and tried it again 2 years later.
"Meet Paul Seidler. The 42-year-old Wisconsin man was just busted on charges that he conducted a high-tech stalking campaign directed at a former girlfriend. Kenosha police allege that Seidler placed a Global Positioning System tracking device under the hood of the woman's car and began monitoring her movements."
Hey, it's a slow weekend, so I think a near-dupe of not-so-cutting-edge news is forgivable;)
Personally, I've made an aquarium from an old monitor, and countless clocks from 3" and 5" HDD's. I've also made a few photo frames from old laptops. Usually I end up giving them to friends and family since they're sort of first to request. I've also made the (already mentioned) keychains from ram chips, but I can't think of what to use all the HDD magnets for. I also have a ton of HDD, misc PCI, and MB PCB's that I can't decide what to do with. I've seen cufflinks on Thinkgeek, and clipboards a few years back, but I hate ripping off all the components from the boards...
As someone who worked through the hell that was the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA, I can say that the IOC is the biggest bunch of back-asswards, money-grubbing IDIOTS evar. I mean seriously, I can remember them trying to sue the Varsity for their "5 onion rings in the form of the olympic rings" marketing graphics. They think they have rights to anything that has even remote ties to anything "olympic".

There is no trully unsecure language, only programmers that practice building unsecure sites. Bugs and security holes can always be patched, but if the site is crap to begin with, then that's just asking for trouble. You should always check user input, esp if you plan to use said input as part of a SQL query or entry. Duh.

Maybe they should have a contest to name what animal it came from?

Uh huh, and as far as cable TV goes, how do you think they get THEIR signal? Ever wonder why there's an array of dishes at major cable provider sites?

Funny, my wife's theory is that God is telling Florida that they need to learn how to count. Doesn't matter for who, just learn.
I've always wondered, where's the "niii-eee-iiine" key? I can't dial the number correctly without it!

That sounds a lot like another comic's quote from Real Life
