I've had to call MS before since a client reloaded XP by himself and couldn't get past the key part. Was very simple - just had to verify with the person on the other end that the key wasn't in use more than once, then they activated it (challenge/response I think in XP) - this could have worked for you as well. Probably only 20 minutes out of my day (and billable...)
Everyone in my office knows that I hate long winded voicemails. I don't see voicemail as a reason to get particularly long winded, but just to give me some basic insight as to why someone called me.
I have a coworker that leaves 3+ minute messages for me; it seriously gets to the point where he rambles on about whatever piece of technology he has a question about in our company. I have gotten to the point to actually telling him that I called him back 2 minutes quicker because I skip his voicemail and call him directly.
Even if I do listen to the voicemail, people will typically REPEAT themselves when I call them back, so it hasn't been a problem yet.
1. Registration. Police will ask you for your Driver's Licence, Vehicle Registration and Proof of Insurance at traffic stops. 2. Title. This proves you bought and own the vehicle. If you have a loan on the vehicle, you get what's called a white title, which means you own the car but have a loan on it. I don't know how leasing works - probably similar with a white title or something....
Yea, honestly that's one area (of many) that the Wii has disappointed me in. Their game catalog available online is horribly lacking; much so that I haven't sunk any more money into the console other than the purchase price and an extra controller.
Thought it would be king for getting some side scroller action on - but alas, there's nothing on there that I don't already have via emulation or other game systems in the house.
I have to add to this; I admittedly searched for her name after reading the article and the top google search is someone who registered her name.net. I'm not going to link; I'm sure others are going to have the same idea as I did to get an idea of the repulsiveness of the photos.
What a horrible horrible set of pictures. I've seen other death photos on the 'net (haven't we all) but this hits their family with what I would think an unbearable amount of sorrow and anger. No one should see their child that way....
I feel very sorrowful for the loss of the life there, whether it was a reckless act on her part or not. However, it is purely a dick move to send an e-mail as stated in the summary. Don't think you can sue someone for being a dick, unfortunately.
If the computer chip you placed to control the engine causes it to run too lean and puts a hole in a piston, Ford should have every right to charge you for an engine. Their equipment wouldn't have done the same damage - or it would be harder to prove that you swapping equipment (especially an ECU) didn't cause that kind of failure.
I had to read that twice to fully understand that you may have meant "definitely." Or perhaps, you do think it's defiantly quite impressive. God, that's even hard to type.
When an atom netbook is at max power consumption, it is playing a sophisticated game like Rise of Nations or a movie at higher than DVD quality. Your beagle board or N800 can't do that.
Wut?
Heise online UK saw the Beagle Board demonstrated at the LUGRadio Live event, where it was demonstrated running 720P HD video and desktop effects, which were designed to show the power of the graphics processor and DSP, above and beyond the 600MHz ARM processor all integrated into the single chip OMAP35 embedded processor.
I would rather have a contract based on an older technology, using a Committed Information Rate as a baseline of usage 24x7 and then an Extended Information Rate if the pipes are free. Stolen from Wiki:
Frame relay connections are often given a committed information rate (CIR) and an allowance of burstable bandwidth known as the extended information rate (EIR). The provider guarantees that the connection will always support the CIR rate, and sometimes the EIR rate should there be adequate bandwidth. Frames that are sent in excess of the CIR are marked as discard eligible (DE) which means they can be dropped should congestion occur within the frame relay network. Frames sent in excess of the EIR are dropped immediately.
Sounds like a simple solution to the whole mess, given that we could get reasonable bandwidth on the CIR side; in today's world, I'd say 1mbps is a decent CIR for a single family home. The EIR I could imagine being up to 8mbps (similar to my cable service.) Not sure how TCP/IP would handle random dropped frames (Discard Eligible or above) depending on the application; however QOS could mitigate that at least within the cable company's network.
And oh yea, a CIR of upload 24x7 as well, hopefully synchronous. I can dream, can't I?
This sounds like overkill, and probaly is for a small business, but when you have 14,000 desks in your copmpany (most with 2 netowrk and 2 phone drops)
Looks like you have your keyboard cable too close to your power cord;)
I've seen issues in the days of Token Ring with plugs and jacks that oxidized over the life of the cable plant - if one went flakey, sometimes an unplug and re-plug would get it through until the end of plant life. Probably just crappy, cheap ends/panels.
I just have to hope that they're better at phones than an iphone.
I made the decision after a week or so of reading reviews to get myself a Fuze. I've had an old Motorola V551 for 4 years now (maybe more? maybe less?) and prior to that, the two phones I've owned were also Motorola. I've found myself chomping at the bit to have a phone with a true datebook, as well as the ability to tinker without too much fuss.
In addition to the fact that I used to have a Dell Axim PDA from work before I'd done some of the wireless expansion projects within the company. After I got wireless, I tired of the PDA device - just felt like I was carrying too many devices, and my laptop will always go with me to meetings.
Now I will have the ability to have a device that is always with me that can tell me if I have meetings (in house or after work) that I need to attend. The iPhone can probably do the same thing, however we also have some licenses lying around to sync our e-mail application (Notes) to Windows Mobile.
The Fuze also has a keyboard.... not sure how much it will get used, but I thought it was an interesting option. I do like the way the iphone operates, and it seems to work fairly well for the people that have it. I'm truly hoping I made a good decision with the Fuze; as always, there are good and bad reviews out there but the xda-developers forum seems to be teeming with ideas and "hacks" to make the phone much more functional.....
Nah, it was actually doing the "official Konami code" correctly would cause the explosion (while paused in game.)
Doing up-up-down-down-LShoulder-RShoulder-LShoulder-RShoulder-b-a while paused would give you 4 options, missiles and lasers, once per level if I recall.

Those two documents in the US are:
1. Registration. Police will ask you for your Driver's Licence, Vehicle Registration and Proof of Insurance at traffic stops.
2. Title. This proves you bought and own the vehicle. If you have a loan on the vehicle, you get what's called a white title, which means you own the car but have a loan on it. I don't know how leasing works - probably similar with a white title or something....
car to the police: I've been in an accident at [GPS coordinates]. My driver's vital signs are fluctuating.
All I think when I read that is "Michael... Michael, are you alright??? Michael!"
People who live off your tax dollars want to know where you are and what you're doing at all times,
Oh boy, believe me, there are times that they'd probably rather not know what I'm doing.
In addition, I am sure that my doings are well under the radar, so to speak.
asses?
Or perhaps you meant assess?
I laughed trying to read your comment.
so you're not on a boat?
You forgot to yell at the kids on your lawn, by the way....

So say 3 million people die from it, then never die from it again.
Of course they'll never die from it again; they're already DEAD!
defiantly quite impressive.

Cat3 breaks down on 100mbps at about 150 feet, from personal experience. Moreso if you're running voice alongside it (25 pair.)

Two words: train wreck.

Sounds like you have a hardware problem, not a software problem.
Can you limit the max bus speed within the bios to hard-limit the max speed of the processor?
Nah, it was actually doing the "official Konami code" correctly would cause the explosion (while paused in game.)

Yes, I'm a Gradius fan.
Oh, how I pine for the days of non plug and play ISA......
I know people bring this up as a reason all the time as to why they'd want to run homebrew software - but technically isn't it still a nod to piracy?
If you play roms you don't officially own, it's still considered an infringement on the original work, no matter how it's packaged.... right?
I'm lactose intolerant, you insensitive clod!
m-m-m-m-m-m-monster kill!!!!
Capitalized or not, UT is the first thing I thought about... and thought "why would they want to do that?"
or perhaps.. fail?
