Lots of water & gatorade. You will go through it fast. A camelback type carrier (that holds at least 2 liters) is nice so you don't have to tote around lots of water bottles while working. Freeze some of your stuff before you come if you want anything even remotely cold (on breaks) while there. Bring energy bar type snacks. Food that doesn't require keeping cold or much prep. MREs are best (w/heater) if you can manage it. Dehydrated meals sound nice, but it is not easy to heat the water for them while out on the job. Sturdy boots (waterproof if possible in case you are mucking out houses). Good socks. Lightweight but protective shirts and pants. You will get tree sap all over them, so keep that in mind. You will also want something comfortable (and clean) to put on after working (shorts, etc.). Sturdy leather gloves! If your gloves are sketchy, buy some new ones. It is HOT and humid, so keep that in mind when picking your sleeping gear. Tent (w/rain fly) and a cot. Cots are a pain to bring, but you will be glad you have it. Put your misc stuff in one of those big plastic containers for easy carrying around. Backpack for meals and stuff while out doing work orders. Flashlight. Mosquitos might be a problem, although we didn't see many (thankfully!).
CX717 is a code word for Red Bull. The lab techs got caught giving monkeys some Red Bull to watch them dance all night and had to come up with a quick cover story.
Where exactly can one find details on the study that came to those conclusions? It makes no sense to me why they would both not be true. Perhaps someone is more likely to take action on the sex thoughts than they are the violent ones (because of the ramifications of doing so)... but I would be willing to bet that both have an effect.
You should watch the movie "You've Got Mail". Different product, but similar situation. Your best solution then would be to marry someone that owns one of the big electronic or game retail companies.
Also, would writing about the fact that the episode is available for download on the internet not be illegal as well? One could argue that a simple google search is about as obvious as clicking on an url, or following someone's pointer to a newsgroup.
Re:We have a Tivo and a Cox DVR

TiVo to Offer SDK

· Score: 3, Insightful
It is hard to appreciate the ease of use of a Tivo until you use it. I have had a Tivo for over a year and recently got a timewarner HD PVR (Explorer 8300HD). Tivo has a simple remote and VERY intuitive software. My 7 year old mastered it without any trouble. This "new" cable DVR, while it seems to be good hardware (HDMI, dual tuners, etc.) has the worst software I've seen. The remote has a button for every function, the majority of which don't do anything unless you are in a specific part of the menu system. There has been little thought of design and ease of use, rather it has simply put in the basics of recording. It is not that much better than a VCR.
The Tivo sets the standard for finding programs to record, recording them, prioritizing your recordings, setting up season passes, parental controls, channel listings, program information, innovative features (fast forward adjust) and on.
One could argue that the cable companies will catch up, but I don't think so. The cable boxes I've used recently behave no differently than they did when I had them over 5 years ago. They are still horrid ugly poorly thought out things.
I hope Tivo can get their cable card HD box out before the unwashed masses get sucked into the mediocrity of cable pvrs.
Do you think maybe they named it that way to confuse searches for the source code that was leaked onto the net? It would sure make a google search a bit harder.
Considering that they are deploying a game to millions of users simultaneously, in an entirely new way, with all newly developed technology... I think a few hiccups are to be expected.
If you are so tender about such things, you really should stop using computers and switch to crotchet.
Open the PDF manual that comes with the game, print as desired. I never cease to be amazed at how much whining goes on here.
You people are acting like a bunch of noob users. "I can't believe I have to push two keys at the same time to make that bold!... Why don't they include a bold key with the program?"

It was VERY hard work, but awesome to do. Enjoy!

However, it makes too much sense for it to ever happen.

I know for sure, which is why I replied as I did. I've printed it, and sat on the toilet reading it even.
