I try and use the bathroom during the commercials because if I'm not watching TV by myself which is usually the case, it seems rude to just pause it just because _I_ have to pee. Because of this, I use the commercials as a good time to excuse myself.
The goon at the door saw that my phone had camera capability and denied me entrance.
Are you serious? If that's the approach they're going to take, pretty soon they'll be showing their movies to empty theaters. Most phones have video recording capabilities these days. And people aren't going to leave their phone at home (perhaps the movies isn't the only place you're going while you're out) and I for one am not going to leave an expensive phone in my car since, if that's the policy, thieves are going to know that cars outside theaters are target-rich environments for cell phones.
I've always seen the warnings that video recording devices aren't allowed and wondered WTF given the cell phones we have these days. It's a lost cause, really.
The day they don't let me in because my cell phone has a camera is the day I stop going to movies.
Nah, they can always show the movies to those few hundred thousand folks who bought the iPhone since it doesn't record video! *oh snap* lol
It's a giant worm hole/den. I know those wormy bastards like to colonize asteroids, but planets? Well, then again it makes sense given how close Mars is to the asteroid belt.
I would guess that this move is designed to ensure that the cellular "pay by minute" model does not go the way of the dinosaurs. If we are moving towards mobile broadband connections on all cell phones, it's not a far cry to have users install Skype or other generic VoIP clients on their phones to make calls (especially to bypass those expensive international rates).
Also, I would guess that this move allows the carrier to control content and maintain a licensing fee or commission for software placed on their phones. (I guess the Apple iPhone would be an exception...seems like AT&T is bending ov^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H not getting a good deal here).
Maybe your friend isn't so reliable. What you say here makes a bit of sense....
Sony was so focused on Blueray that they never gave ATI the heads up to produce a video card specific for thier system. They didn't give ATI enough lead time. Thus, the video card is a general fix for a video solution that doesn't work well with the PS3 ONLY BECAUSE ATI DIDN'T PRODUCE A CARD FOR THE PS3 AT ALL!!!!
The Graphics Processing Unit is based on the NVIDIA G70 (previously known as NV47) architecture, which focuses on maximizing per-pixel computation in favor of raw pixel output. The GPU will make use of 256 MiB GDDR3 VRAM clocked at 700 MHz. The GPU has access to the XDR main memory as well.
The PS3's were at the DigiLife expo in NY this past weekend and I got to try it out first hand. The controller feels just like the older PS2 controller if only a little lighter. If you were used to playing PS2, then this will be no different. I don't see how someone could say that it was flimsy...if you want to make it heavier, add some lead weights to it, but other then that it feels sturdy and light.
I submitted my two weeks notice and gave them transition plan outline. About two days later I was called into a room with three HR reps, my manager, a lawyer, and the chief of security. Supposedly, I was working on sensitive information and the lawyer said that it would be prudent if I left immediately. Five minutes later, I was packing up my stuff under supervision of the chief of security and then promptly escorted to my car. They took my parking pass and id and bid me farewell. Of course I was paid for the rest of the two weeks.
No hard feelings, but with concerns over security nowadays, I don't blame employers for going through this extra step. I mean, IF I had done something malicious, what would their course of action be? Besides a lawsuit in which most cases side with the employee not the employer, they couldn't fire me because I had already quit.
Hmm...can you pronounce genuine with a "wine" sound at the end? Someone at M$ is having a laugh. Wait a sec..wouldn't GNU Wine sound like Genuine? Hrrrmmm
Well, if I remember correctly, doesn't google rank pages based on referring links? If everyone takes down their Orbitz links, then I would probably guess that Orbitz.com would slowly sink into the depths of google's page ranks.
Check out "ZolaOnAOL" Just I'm her/it a message and go from there. You can actually get some real information like stock quotes, weather, and movie times if you learn how to ask properly.
That's alright. A company of all techies will still get stuff done. A company of all management will starve while trying to tell each other to do the work.
Hmm...no no...you got this wrong.
A company of all techies will get stuff done and get paid in peanuts. A company of all management will... [try] to tell each other to do... work and make billions outsourcing all the work to India/Mexico/China and have all the time in the world to pretend to do real work and have fun
Trust me on this...I moved from a techie role into a managerial role. The latter is more fun, less fulfilling, but more lucrative.
It's weird.. I met a few girls online through friendster or other online sites and met them in person. Yes I am a geek, nerd, avid/. reader..is that so wrong? Now it's all good cuz the girls are nerds too but their friends are like..you met each other WHERE? and kinda labeled us as the online freaky couples. There should be more acceptance with the online browsing and real life dating. Until that gap is bridged, I will always feel weird catalog shopping for girls online:) Of course it make sense to me to filter out the ugly ones before I get to meet them in person...but some people don't see it that way. Lol.. ass is ass, all them haters gotta leave me be!!
Spec out which one you want. I will buy and handle the shipping..and set it up as a "gift" so you will be the owner of the laptop. I will need the $$$ up front to purchase the laptop.
When you get to NYC, I will meet up and drop it off to you. In exchange, I would like $300 USD. Weekend drop-off preferred.
No, I didn't actually switch. I was just mocking that as well as the Michael's computer thing because the two seemed like they were both falsely advertising to consumers.
In fact, GEICO rates in my area were about 500-1000 over my current insurance carrier. Just make sure you do thorough research into whatever you buy before you buy it.
I bet this guy made some bucks on unsuspecting clients. I also bet that he builds computers for corporate clients that just care more about reputation of small shops when making the decision to go w/ a local vendor versus a DELL or HP type of source. That's how it was when I worked at a little computer store in Boston anyway.
Too bad we have sleaze balls like this in the world...
But there is a bright side, the article was funny and I just saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO. Lol.

Oh, but a mirror IS required. Anyone have a link to a mirror or cache?
(and regarding your comment, w/o the smoke, how are u going to see the light? unless its pointing directly at you which probably isn't a good thing)

Well, if earthquakes don't work, then mothernature will surely find another way. Check this thread out. Sinking or flooding are possibilities too!
Just wait for these things to hit the US market. There are some stores that run the "we'll beat any competitor, just bring in the ad" promotion. :)
Forget that whip! What I really want to see is a pico satellite and a pringles can strapped on to it.
:)
I'm sure that could bring down the costs a little bit

Sending out 1000 resumes doesn't mean shit. Good luck.
Hahaha..I see you tried monster.com too eh?
Or in the case of some slashdotters...pick many girls and if one likes you, she's the one to marry.
