Looking at your sig you are obviously a man of right-wing persuasion.
That is really a shame. Your politicians told you because the companies who pay to get them into office doesn't want to pay more to keep from polluting.... a shame in deed.
I bet on cold days you also say things like: "This doen't feel like global warming" because you are some kind of armchair atmospheric physicist.
If you are so afraid of loosing your SUV then you should demand higher gas mileage and do other things.
You've been told that the Kyoto Protocol will take away our freedoms and maybe that is true. Sorry the USA isn't alone in the world. One day people around the world will all get sick of us at the same time and we will be in trouble.
BTW, do you have insurance? On anything. Because if you do I think it's odd that you are against trying to insure that we won't destroy the planet.
And on an end note:
Silverman admitted there is room for some skepticism about global warming models because "nobody knows, we don't have god-like abilities [to predict the future.]"
We don't. We can't just flip a switch in the future and reverse a trend if we start it.
The high costs are somewhat based on the fact that a book that big would certainly come out bad at some point - a few times.
My father is a bookmaker, er, binder. He's given me so many free Jamsa books, anything IDG and even a few about O.J. (and how the KKK killed his wife?). Hell, anyone want to buy a book of a clippy rip-off telling you how to use MS Office?
All the books are supposed to be destroyed because of glue on the cover or a few pages were off and stick out of the top - all of the ones on the line end up that way usually.
kept 'personally somewhat busy' by 'the interesting Intel SMP-P4 TLB corruption bug, which ends up being due to some very funky asynchronous speculative TLB fill logic'.
You must understand that phone numbers on some systems are just sequentially dialed - yes, we used war dialing.
But the first rule to cold call dialing is to NEVER (yes, bold and italics are necessary) use the information provided by whomever the list is bought from - even the phone company.
While I know that your problem was with a company which didn't take care of their lists (lead-lists should be taken care of very carefully), the phone company could also help by letting the company know who has changed their numbers or moved.
Lead lists are a whole 'nother thing. If you have a list of leads or subscribers, etc, then you absolutely need to take care of those lists.
I worked for years in an office which sold ********** over the phone. Everytime there is something new the company which provides the "robo-dial" equipment sends you another hack.
Our local telco (Cincinnati Bell) introduced the system which makes you enter your phone number so the person you are calling can see who it is. This system was supposed to fool robo-dialers, but they also sold us the hack. After a day of slow calls Tele-Direct (robo-dail-r-us) uploaded a hack from their Arizona office over the modem and we were back to full business.
About your "Tele-zapper". A local TV station tested these systems (partially owned by the company I did telemarketing for...) and none worked.
I've been told by people that a hack has already been put into the system so that it just ignores the tone. Not suprising because we had many options on the computer system (the end user computers) to delete numbers because they were disconnected or changed.
I remember looking at an EB advert for the Neo-Geo, man... hundreds of dollars. I though that was too much then and it still is now... (xbox, ps2,...)
Funny though, you are right. One of my favorite games of all time is Capcom vs SNK. A fighting game for Dreamcast, which is based on Capcom and SNK's (Neo-Geo's company) fighting games fighting it out in arcades so much.
I have often wondered what are the chances that these things could come to Earth.
Considering we have seen (or measured) two instances I wonder when we will see more? Not just with these particles but other such strange or heavy particles.
It's kind of cool - of all the space out there, literally, two (maybe the same one) has come through Earth. Very exciting indeed. I wonder what the implications of an encounter are. Are there anything that such a particle would change?
I wonder though what would happen if it rips through your body, would you feel it? Imagine looking down on the scale in the morning and seeing it explode.
One at a time please!

Actually, at one point here on Earth their was a time when you couldn't see out to the Sun.
Sound fun?

read this book:
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan...
Love, relationships and most defintely peace is explained by math. Why? Because of DNA, Natural Selection and simply who we are.

That is what they all say.

Li Mu Bai died one day, but yet his spirit lived on and he still fights today as a Giang Hu soldier - destroying script kiddies everywhere.
Now only Lo, Jen and Shu Lien have the root passes and the universe is safe.
Is that something similar to what is in the movie Pi?
Now what? an .exe utility which is made for running under _windows_ and then I can view it on a _linux_ computer?
I think you mean execute.
A dog died when the Tacoma bridge collapsed. It was in the car the was left on the bridge.
So what?
Great until Bellsouth sells you out.
We also pay for a service similar to yours, except that we only need to put in the phone numbers.
The problem was that they sold the specs to major (local) marketing firms.
When I worked in telemarketing I loved this:
ME: "This is *** from the *******, how are you doing today?"
THEM: "Fine ***"
ME: "The reason for my calling is that we are running a great special on [sales pitch, price etc] - do you think you would be interested?"
THEM: "Sorry ***, I don't think I am"
ME: "Ok, is there any particular reason?" (Three No's! We had to get three no's)
THEM: "No, no reason... but can I ask you a question?"
ME: "Sure"
THEM: "When you die will you be accepted into the kingdom of heaven?"
And the Jehovah's Witness bit comes about. Only one thing worse than a over-the-phone sales man... a Christian selling his wares.

If you don't, there is your sales force.

I don't live in KY (thank god) but there has been some good reports so far.
NO! It will not work.

Yeah, but a disaster should take some lives don't you think?
There is one bridge on the list
Episode I of course had Jar Jar, Watto, and many other CG chars, but Menace is literally crammed full of them.
I didn't read the full review (afraid too), sheee-it I could have downloaded the movie a week ago.
But is there any fully animated scenes like in Episode One?
Two cents to whoever guesses what scene it was. (it's easy)

Companies are there to serve the owners/shareholders. Most of them just want to get the best return on investment they can.
Then how can a company expect to make money if their customers run and go to another service?
Notice my e-mail address above. I haven't had problems with RR so far - but if your idea is right then the first time I do I'll remember you.
There is a dollar value attached to a satisfied customers - it's called revenue.
When a company can stomp on it's customers (i.e. Microsoft) and not take a loss (again...) then they should be investigated.
No. I was buddy.
That was the whole point of this thread.
Both machines got 40K up and 250K down.
In fact this goes back to our primate cousins.
Look up information on the Jpn rhesus named Imo.

[I have become used to get right since i would thrash my linux box and then get a newer version of whatever distro I was using. It's a home/hobby thing.]
No no no....
I am allowed two IP addresses no problem.
I was getting full bandwidth on both machines.
With a router or hub I would share.
I wasn't fully taking advantage of it at first - at first I was using for in house file transfers only - backups, etc... but then my evil side came out.
Sorry, I wrote the comment in a rush.
I hooked up a second box - yes a Windows box considering there is no way to use the USB function of the cable modem.
The second box got the maximum speeds ( 250K down, 45K up ).
My cable access is paid for by my roomate.
I can't afford a router/hub or even another pair of NICs.
This only worked for a certain amount of time.
The cable company "turned off" the USB function from what I can tell since it won't work at all now.
If I used a router or a hub my computers would all share the bandwidth.
Yes, this is all off topic.
Thank you... I was just getting ready to say that.
