I was just glad after reading the headline that I no longer use a Verizon phone! Just imagine being forced to listen to Celine Dion in the background of every call you make!:-)
As long as you have it on vibrate and actually leave to take the call, there's no problem. It's the people that actually answer and say "Hey, I'm at the movies. Yeah, Spider-Man. Yup it's really cool. Ooh, he just did that thing...yeah, that thing! Hey are we meeting at Fuddruckers later? Cool. Bye." Now THAT'S annoying.
I get the feeling that there are many people out there that just can't grasp the basic concept of how going to the movies politely is supposed to work.
That strip was right on target; I found this rant that really sums up a lot of it as well.
I think you might be able to take commuter rail out there but it would still be a hike to the theater - or maybe if you got on the airport shuttle bus:-)
I used to go there all the time when I lived in boston - it's about 10-15 minutes west on the pike. Unfortunately, I moved before they finished these fancy new screens. Darn.
I'm pretty sure the SatPro 4600 has an option for "built-in" WiFi. What this means is that all models have an antenna built into the lid, but you have to pay extra to get the actual wireless network card installed (not PCMCIA - I think it goes somewhere else inside the case, kinda like the way the iBook works).
I know this because we have several here at work and several users got their hopes up because they thought they already had wireless access built in when it turns out it was just the antenna. Oh well.
I'd really like to see more laptops with built-in non-PCMCIA 10/100 ethernet, modem, and wireless, just to avoid all the extra dongles and pop-out Xjacks and bulging wireless PCMCIA cards. Keeps your laptop clean!
Seven Samurai has some elements of "old" Westerns - I would need to watch it again to be sure, but I'm positive that the DVD commentary on the disc (by some film professor) explains something about how Kurosawa was a big fan of the old Hollywood westerns (John Ford, etc.) and that he wanted to duplicate some of that in a Japanese historical context - thus we get a great movie like Seven Samurai, which is than later borrowed back into a western - amazing how that works out!
That said, I'd have to agree that quite a few "capitalists" that actually run companies don't regard the value of labor as high as they probably should.
Users like you are why IT department employees aren't allowed to carry 2x4 cluesticks. Did you ever think that there are good reasons for having that stuff installed on your computer? Or that it's not even your computer in the first place? Or that maybe you should spend some time actually working and not trying to bypass security procedures?
Sheesh. Try that at a place with a usage policy and a halfway competent IT department and you will find yourself out a job. And if you feel so strongly about such restrictions, why work at a place like that anyway?
Well we do have an old line printer sitting around here doing nothing...sounds like a good idea (for any kind of alert/report: firewall, etc.). Thanks!
hmm...if you had read the article, you would have known that every company mentioned in it (the ones selling the software and the ones buying it) are all located in Europe.
Well you probably have already read some of the other comments (or, amazingly enough, the article itself) that would answer your question, but just in case, they are referring to the comic book characters that exist in comic books from a company called "Marvel" - Spiderman, Captain America, The Hulk, etc. (and not Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. who are all from a competing company, "DC").
I don't think it's always consistent, but for the most part, all of the characters in the "Marvel" group exist in the same imaginary "Universe" - they interact with each other (and in case it isn't complicated enough, they occasionally interact with characters from the DC "universe").
When the best thing they can come up with for the director is that he is responsible for that atrocity known as "Ace Ventura 2" you know you are in serious trouble:-)

Argh - it's so sad that you had to explain the joke - plenty of people got it ;-)
IMDB LINK
Seeing as how John Rhys-Davies is credited with playing Gimli and Treebeard, it looks like we will have at least one Ent.
Perhaps everyone should go and watch "The Godfather" again... ;-)
I don't know about you, but I thought Django "Reinhardt" Fett was pretty "cool" with his flame-throwing guitar and everything ;-)
Well, I love Virtua Tennis and all (just about the most fun four-person console game I've played), but ya'll know PONG beat all of them to the punch.
I mean really, what is Virtua Tennis but a fancy-pants version of PONG?

Thus the quip about "robot insurance" in the story
One of the best SNL commercials ever.
Here's some examples from Blazing Saddles, from a great "idiot convincer" site
Oh, and there is also widescreen-o-rama
They are having a tough time these days :-)

As long as it's patched, Outlook is fairly safe. Now if there were only an "official" way to turn off HTML e-mail, then I'd be happy with Outlook.

Some days, I really would like to switch all users over to Pine, though.

Hmm, Americans taking the original words of an amendment and stretching them to mean vastly different things?
I am shocked!
Oh wait, I forgot about the 2nd amendment
Or at the very least, iZac :-)

note: Cliff (the editor) is the one who added the whole thing about replacing a DVD player. That's what's getting people all riled up.
So in this case, blame the messenger
I assume you already looked here?
It's just the first thing that came up from Google.
That said, IMHO, a DC that isn't being used to play Virtua Tennis is a DC that's being sorely mistreated - unless it's an extra DC of course
