Actually, if you want to be really evil, just take the camera and hide it.
Then act normal around said person. Never admit to taking it. And keep watch for other cameras.
Of course, you have to know how to keep a straight face around people - not many people have this gift. But I would definitely get more pleasure out of having the person "wonder" who knew.... haahahaaa!

Dead skin?
That'd be one heck of a mutation of the lung. Dried up black lung, maybe...:)
Now my face is red. Where's that "Retract comment 'cause you're a dumbass" button?
Manufacturers and stores looooove to make margins higher on convenience. For instance, I could have bought a lincoln town car, but didn't want to pay the extra 10k. So, I bought a Grand Marq instead. Same underpinnings, suspension and engine etc. The Lincoln had a slightly better dash (with analog clock smacked into the fake wood dash...) but other than that.......
On a related topic, Sony probably won't allow anyone to put anything on these UMD discs... but I know for a fact if I'm buying a handheld gaming system, I'm not going to put more money into a movie collection so I can watch them on the go.
I think they'll find that the majority of the market would agree with me as well. But I also say that as a guy who has no children.......
Well of course, Do-It-Yourself is almost allways cheaper than a ready branded solution. I can build a Xeon server box for $2000 yet a similar performing Sun system costs >$10,000. One is over $1000...so what, some cars cost 10 times more than others, etc.
Wow, you're really comparing apples to oranges.. not even the same product family!
What the parent was talking about was taking a monitor and a tv tuner (of which is what makes up a LCD tv) and it being at a significant price point lower than buying a similarly equipped LCD TV. You're talking about Sun hardware compared to Intel hardware????
We've got the same things, but watch out for their NMM's. Those have bitten us a few times in the past...
The chassis is solid, tho. They've even improved reliability on their smaller switches (48pt 100Mb + 2 gig slots) but when we first ordered, we had about a 15 % failure rate w/in 3 months...
power-up the computer for 30 seconds every two hours.
Energy saved is energy saved, but if it only takes 10 seconds to boot DOS, then take 20 seconds worth of pictures, would it really be worth it to have an OS that might take longer, just to have power management for the 20 total seconds of picture taking???
Similar things that almost turned me off of AMD... In their K7 days, the Via MVP3 chipsets needed the chipset drivers installed to get an ethernet card working in Win98se/2k (something with the PCI bus)... Of course, just something little, but kinda pissed me off that the ethernet card wouldn't work right away...
Next, I was heavy into TomsHardware, and bought a kt133 RAID (abit?) mobo. I used to have really weird issues with that board... Finally figured out that it's REALLY sensitive to the quality of memory (had to go all out and get the best stuff I could find) and it didn't like sharing IRQ's across the PCI bus.... so I couldn't use a SCSI card, TV tuner, ethernet and sound card at the same time (along with switching on the RAID portion of the mobo, which took slot 5 out of the picture completely...)
Now, given, these weren't AMD faults, but since I was having problems specifically with that platform, I really pined for an Intel solution.
Nowadays, myself and my fiancee are running on XP's with mine on an Nforce2 board (asus) and hers on a gigabyte (kt400?) board.... and neither of them has given us ANY problems.....
AMD looks to be finally back to rocking. Can't wait to get rid of my k6-2 file server, though..... darn spurious interrupts....
Standing at the toilet, pager goes off. You proceed to fumble it, while relieving yourself at the same time.
Hilarity and cursing ensues.
Am I right?
On a side note, a few years back, my GF and one of her friends were out getting blitzed - I was dd. My GF attempted to call her friend, and got no answer. Ten minutes later, the friend shows up at the car and explains that in her drunken state, she went to answer the phone, and dropped it in the toilet...
Does Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance use the Konami code in any fashion? -- I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I really don't know. I made the assumption that the Konami code was only really heavily used in their "shooter" games..... i.e. Gradius, Contra...
Of course, that's a konami code -- not sure if there are any XBox games that utilize that. Would be neat to have a server (XBox) with a controller that would do something nifty (like warp time?) when that combination is pressed.....
Sorry, but if you want a solid motherboard, you may want to pay 20-30$ more for something that you know will be solid..... Some people have probably had success stories with these, but I'd steer clear.
Actually, it may be my fault to give you my account information, but if I don't explicitly authorize you to take money out of my account, then I believe I could still come after you for stealing money out.
I wouldn't think just having the account number would do you any good without some sort of written agreement (other than taking all my money and running off to Mexico.) Of course, there's not that much money there to take, so....
I know that when you want to do 5.1 "the right way" from a computer, you're going to bypass the DAC that's in the sound board to send the audio directly to the receiver. In my estimation, every sound card (onboard or what not) is about on par with very good quality this way, since the onboard DAC isn't sending amplified trace noise out of the board.
I've got a TB Santa Cruz in my machine (still about 50$ or so from your local retailer) and it kicks butt on it's analog outs -- I use a set of promedia 2.1's which were admittedly expensive, but good price/performance when compared to me buying a stand-alone reciever, speakers and sub. I haven't really found a good on-board solution that has (to me) no perceptible noise when pumping it through this set-up of mine.
I would love to buy a digital solution, but the 2.1's work fine for me, and while I'd like 5.1 sound, I just wouldn't see too much benefit from it... (not a hardcore gamer, more of a music afficiando[sp?]....)

That's what I get for driving for 8 hours this weekend... thought you said "multisync"...
Dammit.
Sony Multiscan
Is that kind of like a Chevy Mustang?
And I'm taking your wife with me...
Please do. Hell, I'm not even married yet and you can have her.
Oops.

Weird.
Maybe Microsoft could get some weight-loss shakes for it's XBox....
Which switch did you try? They have many levels of switches, obviously with different levels of capacity and service.

some time back they began to smell Health Care, too.
That probably doesn't smell very good, however. I know hospitals always seem to smell funky to me....

Ummm.. isn't the point of the retirement plan to "save" that 7% for you so you're not homeless at 70?
Should get a -1, Google is your friend.
