Does your 172T make this annoying whistling sound, too?
Nope, quite as a churchmouse. It developed three stuck pixels within the first couple months, but none since. Since they are so tiny it's pretty easy to overlook them. I run full 1280x1024 resolution.
I've got a Samsung Syncmaster 172t (250cd/m2) and it's more than bright enough on the lowest setting. Maybe if you like to watch video with the sun hitting the screen this would be fine.
For a computer monitor it's serious overkill. I can't seem to turn the brightness down enough so have to work with a light on to avoid headaches.
You can buy a top-of-the-line road bike for what a segway costs, and you'll stay in shape.
No kidding. I picked up a GT Edge off eBay in December, steel frame though not heavy, full Campy Record 9 speed and Kestrel EMS carbon fork, in almost mint condition for $550. Sad to say it's my rain bike, because it really is still a very sweet bike and because of the steel frame it rides smoothly on bad roads (of which there are a lot.) I've got 4 road bikes and 1 mountain bike and do at least 100 miles a week (more when I can sneak in some midweek rides.)
Forget bicycles: Try the Irish mail. The one in the picture is not the weirdest example: there is a model that looks like a giant metal bicycle seat. The big stick in the front provides propulsion.
Oh, that is so cool. I forgot all about those. I rode around on one as a kid and thought it was absolutely the funnest. You can really get going on one and it's great exercise for the arms and back.
What you saw a few years ago was a BBC TV miniseries. It had a budget of approximately 3 dollars (US).
The new film is a hollywood production.
And it will make you long to watch the BBC TV miniseries. After Hollywood gets it completely wrong, inserts a pile of lame american humor and insipid dialogue for dumbed-down american audiences, we will all be reading posts on/. about the good old BBC TV miniseries and how finely crafted it was.
The new movie starts with "Click here to download the Flash Plug-In". I've seen that a lot, is that a new film studio?
Yet another wasted effort on a website. Flash is so aggrevating I simply do without and don't visit sites which require it. Poor choice not to offer a non-Flash website.
How you drive has considerable influence over gas mileage. Aggressive, drive fast, fast accellerations, having to hit the breaks a lot because you're too close to the vehicle in front of you, all can degrade gas mileage heavily.
My sister's Prius averages 60 MPG. I was floored when I offered to fill the tank when visiting family and driving around in her car. All that driving and like $7.50 to top off the tank. I just filled up my pickup (2.5L which gets ~22 MPG) for over $30 a few days ago. I have to do this every few days, too, which is beginning to suck a lot. I'm sure glad i didn't go for the V6 pickup some salesman was doing everything he could to try to get me to buy, it would be getting even worse mileage.
My next vehicle will be a hybrid. They drive well, are extremely economical over the long run. And they're probably going to be fun to mod some day.

A couple years back I hiked to the top of Yosemite Falls, prepared yet traveling light to make the RT in about 2.5 hours. Along the way I encountered people dressed in their Sunday best, including flat sole leather shoes and, on the way down, some idiots who brought a dog with them from a road beyond the top of the falls. The dog was absolutely beat, they had insufficient water and had a few thousand feet to go down and it was already getting late in the afternoon.
The compromise of privacy would further be impacted by best not notifying people you intend to do this, lest it encourage more day-trippers, ill equipped and without plans, to venture too far afield.
Zero bids? I can't say I'm that surprised. Afterall, aren't these things just a little silly? Maybe it's just me, but a 'starting' bid of $5000 with a reserve is a bit much for something with no practicle use.
Obviously Homer Simpson hasn't logged onto eBay, yet.
If anyone can give RFID tags ubiquity, it's Wal-Mart. We have them to thank for UPC (for those from the Department of Redundancy Department: UPC codes).
As I learned with EDI, it's the big dogs which drive the technology. GM insisted their suppliers use EDI or they wouldn't be suppliers. EDI made rapid progress in the auto supplier industry, Ford got on the badwagon, too, as it made logistics simpler.
With a big dog like Walmart wagging the RFID tail, suppliers will find other customers willing to use those RFID tags, too.
"What's this in my hotdog?"
"It's a feature, eat up and the next time you come in the store another just like it will be wating for you."
"Cool!"
This generation seems to like their music that way, and according to one of the authorities in the article, it's because they are likely 'brain damaged' and have lower attention spans. Ouch."
Probably "Authority==Orderliness Nazi" Music has for the most part been shuffled on radio for years, except those stations that just play loops. Gotta slow down on reading up on such "authroities" I'm developing a sodium problem.
I've tried coding when drunk a few times, and I've noticed I take a more 'gung-ho' approach to coding. While the code itself does it's function, I find the next day when I look at the code, that it misses out a lot of checks for return values from functions likely to fail, and generally, I leave out robustness-tests. Come to think of it, when drunk, I am of the philosophy that debugging can wait until I've sobered up.
So you work at Microsoft on security, right?
Just kidding, but that's been my finding as well, the mental stack just isn't up to shifting focus to validity checks then back to the procedure. I get pretty intense headaches trying to think hard after about three beers. Though I could regularly do my accounting homework while plastered.
I have been told by my grildfriends that I came home one night in terrible condition laying flat out on the livingroom floor gurgling and repeating my VISA card number as answer to all her questions. Of course, i cant recall this.
Probably similar to my condition on occasion. Like the time on spring break when I woke up in the morning and saw this bag near me. I pulled a really nice and very expensive rugby shirt from it and asked my friend if it was his. He laughed, "you don't remember buying that." Apparently I hadn't.

Take Me Home, I'm Drunk
·
· Score: 2, Funny
This reminds me of my friend who programmed the voice-command dialer in his phone, so when he says "I'm drunk!" it calls a cab company.
"shay, doont I ken ye? Yoo pikt me up lotsa times frooma pub, yeah?"
"Yup, Mr. McLeod, home again, I assume?"
"Yesh. Boy, I godda stop drinkin sho mush, I hardly godda nuff money to pay yoos."
"That's alright, here let me take the fare out of your wallet, you seem to drunk to count it properly."
"Thanksh, yerra pal. Shay, win did you gidda mersaydees cab, looksh vurra nicesh."
Ok, I'm on home turf and can authoritavively state, "If you can figure out your cell phone then you ain't drunk."
Seriously, when I've been completely pissed I can hardly remember key sequences and don't even think about coding while
drunk, all you get is code riddled with errors and a headache. Fiddling with fiddly little things with lots of buttons (some of which result in a
most pleasing and satisfying 'Beep') requires dozens more firing neurons than lifting a pint. Best to just seek out that park bench, some warm snuggly newspapers and a traffic cone.
Hey, I thought we were against the Patriot Act here.
Who needs the Patriot Act? These people are doing this crap practically in the open. Minimal assistance from CC companies and Telecoms would be needed.
So the question is... If these scammers donate any money to terrorist organizations can we hold AT&T liable for contributing to terrorism?
Or another way of looking at it, if the President/Congress cut funding for law enforcement to the point terrorists can raise money (and there's speculation that this has been happening, from penis pill ads to identify fraud) through spam, can the President/Congress be held accountable for the failure to provide the necessary material support to prevent this?
From the news these days, it appears this is happening to the Pres. An intelligent political opponent should be making a lot of hay from this. I wonder if/when Kerry will really unload on Bush (there's an awful lot of ammo to use), maybe one of the debates? I just hope we get this stuff all aired out and hold the president's feet to the fire publicly, unlike in these managed press conferences.
I say rather than block IPs, we block these scammers access to air.
What's bugging me is reading this Clarke book, in particular the lack of information awareness of the FBI. It's small wonder that more of the clowns spamming and scamming aren't getting busted. It would seem a fairly minor effort to look these people up, gather some evidence and send an agent over to bust their chops (or pass the stuff along to local athorities.)
That I'm still getting piles of spam states very clearly that tracking and apprehension are sorely lacking. That much effort is now put onto tracking terrorists rather than domestic criminals and they budgets for intelligence and law enforcement have taken some big hits under the current administration is a fairly clear message to perpetrators, "We will pass laws, but we A) Wont't enforce them OR B) Can't enforce them.
Why in Monterey... The Sea Otter is going on this week, and Sony Playstation is a co-sponsor, but I didn't think Sony had much of a presence around here. I wonder if I could noodle on over and sit in on this...
