Shit, I pay $17 a month for basic local landline service.
OHH, WAIT, you're talking about value added services! Well, I don't need caller ID, and call waiting? It's called a busy signal. I guess it just sucks to be you.
the effect isn't visible on TV simply because the phosphors aren't completely ON-OFF, it takes some time foir them to stop glowing. By the time the next scan comes, they're almost completely out.
With GSM service, if I hit "IGNORE" (same as END on some phones), it's sent directly to voicemail, and I can even have a separate message for it. IE, usually my voicemail says "You've reached Rob. I'm unavailable, please leave a message and I'll get back to you.", but hitting the Ignore button says "Fuck off. I don't want to talk!"
I would think it goes more like this Phone: "Uh, hi. Can I get a control channel? Serial: 0xDEADBEEF" Cell: "0xDEADBEEF?! HOLY SHIT!! You haven't paid your bill in 20 months!!! Emergency use only." Phone: "D'oh."
not to mention PA54 (or is it 44) having to take a detail around a broken up area of the highway - They literally just mounded up dirt and detoured the road about 1/10 of a mile to the east. If you don't know the road, it jumps right up at you. I had no clue I was actually NEAR centralia until I stopped to explore.
We've got what they call "MAC Check" machines here - i dunno what they're called now that MAC got bought out, but they are pretty chill. They can cash checks (scanner built in), and they can give you ANY denomination. If you want $0.01, you can get it.
Depends on the vehicle. I can clear mine by yanking the computer fuse and turning over the engine, but it won't pass emissions until I complete a drive cycle - follow a written set of instructions, like accelerating to 35 and holding that speed, stopping, accelerating to 45 and holding that speed, idling for 2 minutes, and then putting around town for 5
Also, it's my understanding you CANNOT update any engine computers code without causing an error. On Fords, it's a stored code with no MIL (Checksum Failed)... Don't even bother trying it on a BMW anymore, with all the checksums/challenge and responses needed for the software to work
My definition of the calibration code was always the (on Fords, anyway) sticker on the driver's side door that said "FORD CALIBRATION:" and had some number... There's also a catch code stamped on the computer cover.
I think what they're whining about are BCCs (body control computers), IE, a driver tries to put his window down and can't do it because the computer's fucked. No standard like OBD-II for that.
I have a 1994 Ford Thunderbird LX with the 3.8L V6 engine. It's run by Ford's EEC-IV computer. I got a CEL last week, and went to AutoZone to have it read. I plugged in a reader that is nothing more than a jumper wire and a LED, and looked up the code in the back of the book. Wow, that was easy. I found out later than you can do it with so much as a paperclip.
My parent's 2003 Excursion (company car) also had a CEL, so we took that down to AutoZone. It has the 6.8L(?) Triton V10 engine and EEC-V control. Same thing. Plugged in an OBD-II tester, got the code, left. What's the problem?
No, that's not what you do. You simply vote for whomever you see fit as best for the job. That's why we have write-ins. That way, you take away a percentage of the bad guy's votes.
Well, these 'phishers' would make up a url.. something like http://www.eonlinebank.com (and then, insert a bunch of spaces)@theirsite.com/
Their site would be an exact replica meant to steal your information. So, firms would beat into their customers to look for the 'lock' or the https:// before a URL to make sure that it was the right site.
With plain text encoding on an https site, you still get the comfort factor of the lock (i think), and the https://, so once again, the morons who don't look at the complete URL are going to be victimized.
IE had a bug where a certian control code would make the second part of the url (the @and everything after it) completely invisible. This has been fixed.
But it can be, with varying environments. ie, batteries getting lower.. clockspeed slowly begins to deteriorate... or a generator whose load varies. make sense now? or still wrong?
I'm no programmer, but clocks can still shift relative to abolute time. IE, just because a watch isn't set for the right time doesn't mean it can't gain/lose a few seconds. IE, if they're counting cycles before the next observation, the clock can still gain or lose a few Hz. Does this make sense?
Sheesh, I think my phone works just fine. Maybe that's because I went to sites like PhoneScoop and checked what networks my phone(s) were compatible with before purchasing.
Of course, you could remove yourself from the group of morons by using the T226 and seeing how well the GSM850 network performs, and THEN buy a T616, but you, of course, didn't think of that, did you?

if it's just the MBR, you can boot from a 2k CD into the System Restore Console and use command fixmbr. Try fixboot for kicks, too.
jacking up prices for years?

Yep. I used to work for District 3. Their van caught me on the way to work one time. I was in the 01 version of the video.
who's we all? Suppose you've never injured your back?

That's great and all, but you'd have to rebuild the motor every two blocks or so...
with trademarks, they don't have a choice. they HAVE to.

yeah. I'm a Jr. I gtet it at ATMs, too.
... mildly amusing. I don't think I've ever signed a slip that had my name correct on it.
"Good Afternoon Mr. Robert Jr. J Lynn!"
61! yeesh. GOt my numbers all mixed up. 54 is in close vicinity tho.

That would be where I about ran it off the road thinking it would be a nice, big turn. Not quite when you're trying to drink a coffee. Oops.

Ya know, over all the browser name changes, I've wondered why Ford hasn't sued the shit out of them over the name of the mail client, Thunderbird.

I hate to, uh, rain on your party... no, wait, I don't.
I've got a 1985 Kawasaki 454LTD and a 1994 Ford Thunderbird LX.
Bikes are fun until it rains. Or gets windy. Or it gets below 45 or so. Or when there's a lot of gravel on the road. Then they REALLY REALLY suck.
Some engines now use DIS. Some even use coil-on-plug, SAAB has for years. The timing for individual plugs/cylinders can be varied infinitely.
