Dear Blog Diary,
I checked the ol' mailbox for the first time in a few days today...
Shit there's a lot of bills in there! Now, if I can just think up a way to take the teeth out of my past public comments, without entirely sacrificing my public image?
Many people don't realize that the deeds to their property is public property, and a sufficiently nosy neighbor could have always went down to the town hall/court and looked up what everyone on their block paid for their house (this is usually listed on the deed).
In many cases, you don't even have to go to the town hall, many counties in the US have their public records available on the internet completely free of charge. Search by full name and you can find all sorts of interesting information- marriage applications, loans, property transactions...
I wanna see someone port MythTV's codecs to the PS3's Cell DSPs so I can use it as my PVR direct to my HDMI TV and 7.1 surround.
I don't have a PS3, so this is partially conjecture, but recent versions of Myth have UPNP support which would let the PS3 act as a media renderer with the new firmware update. (See this thread on the Mythtv users' list.)
The PS3 doesn't play all formats, but a custom job could be setup in Myth to transcode to MPEG2, which seems to work fine.
In that case, why would a Myth-specific solution be necessary? If the DSP's can process video, a psuedo-video driver with access to the DSP would be available to all applications.
Infrared heat is great for drying paint on cars and metal surfaces in general. But for cooking? (shudder) Not on *my* Florida patio. When it comes to BBQ, we like the real thing around here.
Unless charcoal's main benefit is it's rough surface because you're heating your charcoal barbecue via friction, a significant portion of the radiant heat comes as infrared.
Not sure how a gas grill "destroys" flavor, it'd be the charcoal that adds it. Also, if you are going to be frothing at the mouth over charcoal, please do not use the word briquettes.
So, of the three credit card frauds I have personally been privy to, I don't see that there is any attempt to even slow down the fraud. I have to assume that there is some way that the credit card companies make money off of the fraud.
The credit card companies make money on every side of the transaction. The company where the merchandise is purchased pays a fee and the customer pays a fee in the form of interest. In the case of a fraudulent transaction, it's not a problem. The money is simply removed automatically from the merchant's account.
I imagine that there are very few cases where the credit card company themselves actually loose money.
3) A friend had charges made on his card. The items were purchased mail order, so there was an address to track the person down with. The local police said that they would not deal with it because you had to contact the police where the card was used. The police where the purchase was made said that they would not deal with, and that he needed to contact his local police department.
I had an experience similar to this. I had dropped a card accidentally in a local mall, where it was picked up. Whoever used the card only made purchases outside of the local police's jurisdiction. The county Sheriff told me they couldn't handle the case, since the card was stolen within the local police's jursidiction, and the local police claimed that the location of the card's use determined it was up to the Sheriff.
In the end, I just asked to file a police report and received a case number for the report, which was enough to satisfy the bank's requirements for contention of the charges. I've never heard any news of prosecution, so apparently Lowe's loosing out on $500.00 is not enough for someone to push for charges...
Couldn't the student claim it's a parody and eliminate any chance of a case against said student? In the same way that recording myself executing another person in a fantastic parody of the Saddam execution would keep me from going to prison?
I know this is late, but thank you! It's ridiculous to keep reading these posts from people claiming that you can roast your your own coffee in a pan on your stove top and expect "the best coffee you've ever tasted!"; without even a single mention of bean quality, water quality, or grinding method.
Half of you here can't even cook bacon evenly in a pan, and you expect to be able to roast a decent set of beans?
It's a lot easier to grow attached to something that'll save your life, instead of something that could take your life away. You, (sir?), seem never to have known the joys of an explosive device...:)
As a proud, lifetime member of the National Hammer Association, I must insist that we not go too far here. It's part of our constitutional rights - the right to Arm and Hammer - to arm ourselves with hammers.
This portion of the constitution is clearly in reference to the right to Refrigerator Defumigation. I, for one, am very glad our past leaders had the foresight to recognize the importance of baking soda as the miracle-cure-all it has come to be in our current civilization.
Nope, he got to make a statement about karma whoring and get karma for it, so I'm pretty sure it worked.:) 'He' in this case being himself, also whoring his non-karmic funny points.
Exactly- nobody that's pro-conduit here seems to have mentioned the cost of conduit per foot, especially when compared with the cost of cat-5e. I can buy a 1000' box of cat-5e riser for $80.00 at a big-box hardware store ($60 if you don't need runs rising more than one floor).
Two inch electrical conduit is more accurately measured in the dollars per foot, rather than pennies. A good low-voltage wiring guy can string a whole house in an afternoon if it's still open- conduit is not so simple, especially if your house has multiple floors.
Save your conduit money for places where it will actually make a difference. I've got two lengths of it for projector video cable, where a standard can come and go in a year or two. Otherwise, just think of all that empty space between studs and joists as the big conduit it is...
I've also been told that they make a ridiculous amount of noise, because there is no drive tray as a sound barrier. Apparently this is why you see them in cars all the time, but not as often in home equipment. Have things gotten better?
Just because you can change something, doesn't mean you should change it. Discrimination on attire is still wrong.
Behavior is something you can change, you would have no problems eating at a sandwich shop where you watched the assembly-person pick their nose while making your sandwich?
A hiring representative for an airline should not attribute negative value to a flight attendant applicant that comes to an interview wearing wrinkled sweat-stained pajamas that smell of urine?
A person in a business suit screaming at a McDonald's employee because they expect four slices of pickles instead of three should not be regarded as a prick?
Not everything can be judged so simply- the post that started this thread referred to a financial advisor with a Hotmail account, along with the presidential candidate MySpace page. Both of these positions are public and offering a service. They certainly are not required to change how they choose to present themselves, however, they should be ready to accept the consequences for doing so.
I would expect a financial advisor to treat my financial information with the highest care and security and behave in a professional manner that reflects their skill. A Hotmail address would tell me that they do not value the importance of my financial information. What if the account gets disabled, or important messages get lost? Granted, these could be problems with any mail service, but the lack of control in Hotmail's instance is certainly more acute.
A Hotmail address should say nothing of their value as a human being, but it does go much further in echoing their values as a public front.
Your link now seems to be dead, but there is this little snippet from a link at Wikipedia:
Please note that Bootvis.exe is not a tool that will improve boot/resume performance for end users. Contrary to some published reports, Bootvis.exe cannot reduce or alter a system's boot or resume performance. The boot optimization routines invoked by Bootvis.exe are built into Windows XP. These routines run automatically at pre-determined times as part of the normal operation of the operating system.
If you are an end-user seeking to resolve issues for boot/resume performance on your PC, we recommend that you contact the vendor from whom you purchased the PC. For information from Microsoft on specific issues, you can search Knowledge Base for Windows XP product issues related to "resume time." Knowledge Base is a free information service available at: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=fh;%5Bln%5D;kbh owto
If you are a software developer or system designer seeking assistance for using Bootvis.exe in your development efforts, please work with your usual Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) contacts for developer support. To get developer support if you do not already have a contact, please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/support/
The Bootvis.exe tool is no longer available from this site.
Seems that the optimization that it provides is little more than a GUI for triggering XP's own built in prefetching. Knowing driver load times could be handy though, at least you would have the option of weighing a driver's load time with it's functionality. It doesn't seem that fine grained, however.
Arguments to the contrary of MS's statements (along with posted results of 2-4 second boot time improvements and reports of so-what-if-you-screwed-your-system-just-go-buy-Nor ton-Ghost) here, and download links both here and here.
I also just stumbled accross a claim that the '-b' flag to defrag on the command line will trigger the equivalent optimizations, but it seems that XP does this on it's own every three days anyway. It does something on my system, without any displayed information even with the verbose flag.
The time it finally hit me, was when I was looking for one thing or another (I don't remember the specifics, this was 25-30 years ago), I saw two things together, which suddenly gave me a brilliant idea of combination.
Now, if everything was in its place...
You might be able to find records of your brilliant idea?;)
Apologies for the lame attempt at an obvious joke- I did read your other replies, and I think that you may have overlooked something less obvious. Have you considered that your mother saw patterns that were not immediately obvious to you?
Really, this whole argument is silly, since everyone has their own concepts of what constitutes tidy vs. sloppy and messy vs. organized.

Yes, but kitchen monkeys tend to read that as:
...
1.) Turn knob to 375F
2.) Place food in oven

I don't suppose you would have noticed that they're shipping from Israel? In which case, $40.00 isn't too bad.
