So if it lands on the property I bought from the Lunar Embassey (http://www.moonshop.com/) can I sue them for littering, or even trespassing. I am serious, I have the paperwork and everything. Don't tread on me!
I wondered the same thing once then came to this reason. When you make a deposit it can be something like 234.50. Since you can type the cents in for the deposit they probally want to keep the same format for the withdrawel to cut down on confusion.
The exact reason why I build my own computers and get Windows in a box from the store. Everytime a family member get a pre-fab computer I spend 3 hours uninstalling all the crap. I no lnger build computers for them as I end up supporting them and I hate being hardware support. "No I do not know why you get the BSOD, call the manufacturer".
TiVo gets updates from satelitte signal. It must dial-in to home base to make sure your account is paid up. DirecTV wants you to have a phone line pulledin all the time becasue they want you yo oder PPV. You do not need the phone line at all.
My tip for you to get updated beofe your NIC gets to you is to find a few super long phone cables and run them over to your neibors house. Buy him/her a 6 pack in exchange of using his/her phone for a few seconds. Toll free and all.
Now you will have another 2 weeks before it needs to check in again.
I would have to agree with the Parent post. Gift are usuallt usless junk that is now required to keep around becasue it was given. I used to hate when girlfriends would give me a plush teddy bear. Now I have to keep it on the shelf wiht the rest of the usless junk collecting dust just becasue she gave it to me. Actully now whe nI look for a girlfried anti-clutter mindset is a big item on my criteria list. That way she would not give me useless crap.
Things like spending quality time together seems best to me. A nice dinner, movie then back to the pad for hours of desert.
Well I agree about NOT having a wrist watch. I about 8 years ago I realized that my pager (now cell phone) had a clock. And there was one on the computer and one in hte car. So it was redundent to have one on the wrist.
Anyone asks me what time it is, I pull out the cell phone and look. Heck it even gets updated from the phone company so it is always on time.
It also bugs me when people have clocks and calculators on there desk at work. The computer has those things too, just a few clicks away.
Another note. I just got new Business cards and I DID NOT but that fax number on it. I showed it to a friend and they whined. I said, first if all in the 4 years I have been here I have NEVER received a fax, second e-mail or call me if you need to fax me something, third DON't FAX ME, send it as an e-mail attachment.
I had Cable TV until a few years ago. Here is my experience and why I switched to DirecTV.
With Cable when it rained it got very staticy due to rain seeping into the crappy cable connections on the poles. Calbe was also very expensive and did not carry very many channels. Finally they got Sci-Fi and then a few months later moved it onto Digital cable so I had to pay even more.
Digital Cable was great wiht the menu but instead of static, it pixelated sometimes so bad the scrren when totally black. Also the menu guide only filled half the screen, the other half was 2 ads for PPV. I thought it was lame I was paying $60 a month to have ads on my screen.
I finally moved to a plce where Satelite was an option and I got a DirecTiVo and loved it ever since. Rain. nor wind affects it. A tree did once start to grow in front of it but a few snips and the picture was clear as a bell again.
I can see wind being a problem if the dish is not aimmed right or not tightened down, but I just paid a guy $60 to install it and he did it all good. Also my Satelite bill is $40 with locals and tivo. No need to premium channels as I have netflix. I get all the channels I want Sci-fi, comedy cnetral, techtv and even the nasa channel. I was super cool watching them land those rovers. Adelphia does not have techtv nor cmoedy central yet.
I would have to second that motion. I heavy customize my start menu. When I was on Windows 200 I almost solelt used the quick launch. Every app I used was on there. Now With XP my desktop is clean except for the few current projects. I am grossed out when I soo co-worked with their entire desktop filled wiht icons. Of course my real desk is totally clean too. I hate clutter.
I have very specialized folder in the start menu. CD Apps, Multimedia, Internet Apps, Office Apps, Creative Apps, Utility Apss and so on. Wehn I install a new app I copy the one icon to the correct folder. Say I install a DVD player. I copy the icon to its EXE to the Multimedia folder. Then I delete its old folder along wiht all the links to uninstall, readme, drive speed test, etc. All the crap I will never ever use.
I also add to mu PATH variable. For example Putty. I copyed its folder location to my PATH, now I just Hold down Start, hit R then type putty and boom it starts.
Just waht works for me. I think Icons, menus etc are here to stay just like strering wheels and pedels in the car will.
CEOs and other high up exec types seem to forget they are consumers too and only go after the mighty buck. Now I agree that it is good to make a dollar, as it allows me to by food and computers and stuff.
For example Double Click is "finding a way to get around popups" solely so the people who use them for advertising will still think they will get their moneoes worth.
See the problem is if I were the guys running doubleclick I would think, boy those pop ups are annoying, oh wait my company does them, maybe I sould find another line of work. Also the compnaies that use doubleclick, don't they ever browse websites that have popups.

Tog Takes on Mac OS X 10.3
·
· Score: 0, Flamebait
So did this guy work on the old Mac OS GUI. That was the most awfful GUI I ever seen. OS 7, 8 and 9 pure junk. That was one of the main reasons I went with Windows in the mid 90s. Windows 95 rocked comapred the MacOS. If this guy did work on the old MacOS he has no right to say anything about OS X.
It seems to me this willo nly lead to some SEC criminal violations. I would not be surpeised if McBride gets some jailtime for this. If they are found lying to pump up stock prices, I think that is illegal.
I was a hard core AMD fan since my AMD 486 120mhz. My current rig is an Athlon 1.4Ghz, which was top of the line when I bought it. The same speed Intel was twice as expensive.
I am currently very disapointed in AMD mainly due to their sleazy naming convention like Athlon 2800. To the average idiot that seems like the speed, but it is not. So then there is a argument that the number means the chip is comparable to an Intell chip of that speed. Benmarks show that to be bull.
Nope, I am looking at an Intel for my next Rig. I like Hyperthreading and the new 875 chipset. I am holding out for a Prescott chip. So Sorry AMD you lost a loyal customer here, but I am guessing that was expected by your marketing department since you probally duped 5 idiots to buy your chip over losing me.
Why do idiot politions think they can regulate SPAM like they did with the do not call list. Which I must say is working great. I have had ZERO calls since it started.
I work at a bank and Wireless networks are a no no. We have none in our offices. People us them at home, including me, but we use VPN to remote in so it is all good.
All but the weather. I love that is is 65 degrees in the winter. I am a SoCal native and can't imagine living anywhere else. But you are right, some things really push my loyality.
I would feel sorry for him... but he still thinks it is NOT a scam. He was told over and over again that it was ascam and to not send anymore money. He blames the governemnt over there saying his buddies gave the govt. the money. He thinks his buddies are A,OK... STILL. For that I do not feel sorry for him. He needs to wake up and realise he is screwed.
Funny... "U.S. is opposing a french site because France opposed the war in Iraq"
I am American and I oppose the war in Iraq, also everyone I talk to is opposed too. But then again I am in Southern California and we are a little different then those backwater hicks that elected our president. I no noone who voted for Bush.
This is really not "paperless", but in the end it is.
At this point I want a paper bill to come in the mail. I then scan it then PDF it. I then have multi page PDFs that print out nicely. I then have the bills shreaded and recycled.
All but 2 of my bills have auto-payment to debit/credit card. I have them go against my credit card then pay off the cr4edit card each month. I would do it against my debit card (aka checking account) but then I would be affraid of a bill hitting it with not enough money in there. Billing the the credit card solves that problem.
I also have a speadsheet that lists which bills are paid with what paycheck, so that way I do not miss any bills. When Iget the paper bill usually it has already been baid, either automatically or becasue it was on my speadsheet. I find things like Quicken way too complicated.
So at the end of each month I pay 2 credit card (online), write my rent check and car payemtn check and pave about 15 PDFs all nicely sorted in folders. I think it is a very good system.
It was his other (left) hand, that was kept out of the shot. I remmeber him using his right hand to place the ring on this left finger. When he hugs them you see his right hand only.
Made a product or provide a service. Become profitable then leve it alone. It seems like every company, including my own wants to wrench out every penny they can out of consumers. They tend to forget they are consumers too. They are just hurting themselves. I guess going public has a lot to do with it. The more the comapny makes the bigger the dividends the more likely the CEO is to keep his job. Bummer.

Ya, right! Good April's fool joke.

Ah yes, I concur. I have a Sont SAT-T60 and the remote is wonderful. It fits in the hand well, pluss when on the table I CAN push buttons on it.
a friend got a Series 2 TiVo and the remote was crappy. The buttons felt cheap, yuck. I love my Sony, it is a one and only.
TiVo gets updates from satelitte signal. It must dial-in to home base to make sure your account is paid up. DirecTV wants you to have a phone line pulledin all the time becasue they want you yo oder PPV. You do not need the phone line at all.
